Our family had a wonderful time with plenty of space. The pool was great especially for the kids when we needed a break from the beach. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating! This by far has been the best vacation! We will be booking with Beach Time Rentals again! Thank you!! ##### Jennifer C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larry H. 14 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Florida house with a pool We liked the location, close enough to beaches, restaurants, etc. while being in a quiet neighborhood and having a private pool. The house was very nice and the kitchen looked to have just about every gadget and utensil you could need (although it only had salt and pepper). There was a good selection of beach stuff and other outdoor stuff to use as well. More than enough room both inside and out for a larger group than just the 2 of us. For what we wanted, the property was excellent and we would stay again.Since this property is through a rental agency, there are some additional steps/communications as part of the booking process/staying here. Nothing major, but a little more involved than other vrbo places we've stayed. ##### Larry H.

Pros: -The location of this house is in a quiet neighborhood just off the main road which we liked. -Good communication with the property manager. -Had beach chairs, carts, and toys in the garage to use. -Propane grill to use. Cons: -The pictures in the listing make the house appear larger that it really is. -The pool is very small and you have to pay extra per day to heat it. -The floors appeared clean at first glance but were very dirty. After walking barefoot the bottoms of feet would turn black quickly. Most likely the cleaning crew mopped, however they just let the dirty waiter sit on the tile without trying to pick it up once the mop made the dirt loose. -Furniture was a little uncomfortable and appeared a little dingy from use. -Several tv remotes had dead batteries. ##### Kyle S.

We enjoyed our stay at this house! Everything was clean on the inside, if I were to change one thing it would just be that the outside patio is a little bit more well manicured but it’s probably just because it’s winter in Florida. But it was a great house! Great communication with management team! ##### Jennifer R.

Outside area wonderful. Pull out couches extremely uncomfortable!!! So really only sleep 6-8 adults. 3 bedrooms. Parking is sparse only 2 cars in the driveway and no street parking so be aware!! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the pool area hours and hours each day!! ##### Pamela R. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### scott R. 3 Aug 2018 #### The premises were a bit outdated. Lots of rust and mold in outdoor furniture. Sleeper sofas were horrible. Outdoor space was tiny. This house is not close to a beach like advertised. They only gave two garbage bags and two rolls of toilet paper. For $3,000, I would expect more of both. This was not a good value at all. We will not be coming back. ##### scott R.

Amazing location, property mgmt. was very nice and responsive the day of check in. The bad….. all the beds are sunken in and in dire need of replacement. While there was a lot of things to use, which was AMAZING, the bikes need new chains, only 1 of the 4 semi-worked, the canopy is not useable, umbrellas need to be thrown away. Outdoor furniture is no where near as pictured and living room couch is beyond uncomfortable and makes noises when you sit down. ##### Mindy S.

We had to buy toilet paper(there were only 2 rolls when we arrived).\*We had to fill the propane tank. There was not enough to grill even one meal.Overall, we had a great time!!! ##### shawn t. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce D. 6 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place to stay for a multi generation family getaway! Our group of 10 aged in range from 2 to 62\. There was something for everyone nearby. The Park, including basketball court and tennis courts, the beaches and I can't forget the pool on the property. The wagon to haul the provided beach chairs in was a back saver. If you are looking for a nice clean beach that is family oriented and not over crowded, Indian Rocks Beach is the perfect place to go. Traveling with grandchildren, we did not want a beach boardwalk with bars and shops lining the beach. Indian Rocks did not have that which was perfect for us but wouldn't be if you are looking for a partying community.. If we wanted something it wasn't far to walk to, but it wasn't a temptation right on the beach for the kiddos to want to go to. The house itself was great as well. Large kitchen with all the things needed to make family sized breakfast and dinners so we didnt have to go out to eat all the time. The property manager provided information on local amenities which was extremely helpful. If we have the opportunity to visit the Tampa area again, we would definitely stay at Beach Time Rentals property. ##### Joyce D. Stayed 4 nights in May 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### John F. 4 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Cleanliness should be top priority To start with, the manager let us in three hours early without charge She was pleasant and accommodating before we arrived. Now for the not so good: The outside front could use some yard work but the inside was clean and as described. The pool deck and pool were in clutter and disarray when we arrived. The deck was filthy with grime all over and the pool had a grimy yellow ring at water level. The master bedroom toilet kept running after flushing. I could manually stop it but it did cause a lot of wasted water use. I let the manager and the pool cleaning guy know but nothing was done to correct during my week stay. When I told the pool guy about the filthy condition of the pool he said this isn’t the Ritz and it’s not his responsibility. I explained to him that cleanliness has nothing to do with wealth. It was obvious what I had to say fell on deaf ears. The pool company did come and fix a leak at the pump that we didn’t have any idea about. Unfortunately, Beach Time Rentals poor cleaning and lack of response or action on the issues reflects on VRBO and we will be less likely in using the service in the future. ##### John F.
