Our three night stay, Feb 17-20, 2025 was positive. This unit is a little dated, but was clean and as advertised. The building is beachfront, but this unit is on the backside, which we knew, but it allowed us to be practically beachfront at a cheaper cost. Fully stocked with beach chairs etc, my only real complaint was that there wasn’t a toaster!

Great location! A few steps from the beach. Condo had everything we needed.

Everything was fantastic! Nice, clean condo, plenty of supplies, great location. Outside of property could use a little daily maintenance such as hosing off sidewalks and stairs to help with sand tracking into the condo but other than that it was pretty much perfect. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

We stayed during the week of July 4th. When we arrived, the condo was very welcoming-the place was tidy. It was smaller than imagined, but cozy. The shower leaked every time one of us got in it, but we put towels down and just rolled with it. I think it’s because of the style of door. I saw a lot about noise from Crabby Bills…it was not disturbing at all to us nor my three kids (9, 6, 1). Check in and out process is clear and there’s effective communication regarding entry information and all other. The convenience of beach toys, floats, fishing gear, and chairs was top notch!

The space was in a great location on the beach. Checkin was easy and we got in a bit earlier that expected which was great! Plenty of space for two people and well equipped kitchen, beach items and had all supplies we needed. Would have liked the second bedroom to have more than a daybed trundle. We used it to store our luggage and clothes but wouldn't be very functional for adult guests. Only real challenge was the bathroom was very tight space getting in and out of shower. Would still come back again!!!

I came down to Indian rocks beach for my aunts 50th birthday, I stayed in this condo on my own as a younger female and I felt nothing but safe! Condo was very secure and felt comfortable and clean. The main bedroom is the only one I used but it was very comfortable. This condo supplied everything you need. The beach chairs were a really nice bonus! In a few reviews they mentioned you could hear music from crabby bills (directly across the street which is awesome!) this is true but was not a bother and ended right at 10pm. I think this would only cause an issue if you had young children but was really not that big of a deal. Would book here again and want family members that came over thought it was so nice and a perfect location!

The place is a nice small place would only want to stay as a couple or a couple and small kids no more than two. Note the place is at the end of the building and is one of two places with no balcony. Currently, there is no toaster, and the shower has a small leak. Also, the parking place for this condo was at the end close to the street. One other issue for older people is this condo has 17 steps to the door which some may have an issue with. The place is close to the road and Crabby Bill's is right across the street and is loud from about 6 pm to 9 pm or so but was not an issue for us.

Very nice and responsive host! Any issues were addressed promptly! The location is great! The beach is wonderful. There are shops and restaurants all around. CVS is right across the street . The unit faces the street and there is no balcony, but it is an easy walk around the small building to get to the very pleasant sitting area facing the gulf. Also being in the front and upstairs adds to your privacy. The beach is then just yards away. The place is charmingly decorated. We enjoyed the paintings. There are games and lots of beach things. We enjoyed our stay very much!!! You can hear the music from Crabby Bills as people have said but it did not bother us at all. And it does end promptly at 9 or 10 at the latest. Often we enjoyed it. We would stay here again!

Obviously from the hurricane damage there is a little work yet to be done. The unit was ideal for this elderly couple to enjoy the fantastic beach.

We did a quick weekend trip and everything was great. The place was clean and well equipped with beach chairs/umbrellas/toys, cooler and beach towels. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen has regular and pod coffee makers and there was even coffee and all the supplies needed! The location was awesome, a few steps from beach and right across street from restaurants and CVS. You will hear daily music from Crabby Bills but we loved the atmosphere. This was a great place for a weekend getaway, would def stay again!!

Great Stay in IRB. Location is perfect/ Condo was just as described. Kitchen had sufficient supplies for what we needed.Beach supplies provided - huge plus! Chairs, cooler, umbrella, even fishing poles.Walking distance to everything, we really wouldn't have even needed a rental car. Bathroom is tight, shower seems to leak out on the floor from the door, so we figured out how to position the door so it didn't do that anymore. Busy street/area so there is some noise that carries and is easily heard inside the condo but it wasn't too bad. The location is worth it. We'd stay again.

6/10

We stayed in unit 8 which does not face the beach, it faces Gulf blvd across the street from a restaurant with live music until 11 for those with little kids, it did not bother us but may others. There was still popcorn under one of the couches and all the kitchen ware was dirty food still on pans and siverware. The bathroom had a big tall board screwed to the floor, not sure why and one of the chairs at dining room table had duct tape on all 4 legs. The spare room that stated 2 twin beds was not accurate at all. The mattresses we're single not twin, the top frame looked like it could have held a full mattress, it had a good 6-8 inches of space around it. The trundle had a good 4 inches of space around the frame. Room was very tiny not sure how both beds were to fit in the room and still be able to get out the door. No place to sit your things either. The room needed like a bunk bed to fit better. It was great, being right by the beach, and lots of areas to walk to do things, and eat but overall I would not stay here again.

We love this area of the gulf and this location provided the opportunity for an easy walk to the beach as well as restaurants. The unit itself is large and comfortable and overlooks Gulf Blvd. and Crabby Bill's Restaurant. While the music was loud at times it never lasted late and was actually entertaining. The master bed was comfortable. The unit could use a decent frying pan. We would definitely return.

10/10

Right on the beach and right across the street from a nice restaurant and an Alice cream parlor. The house was well stocked with beach supplies, towels, all kinds of extras. Had no issues with the house. Great stay!

My family and I vacation at this condo yearly and we are never disappointed with our stay. I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the new updates to the condo. The new shower and floor tiles in the bathroom rivaled a high-end hotel. The new paint and furnishings in the bedrooms brightened up the condo and created a more relaxing environment. This location gives you the best of all worlds with the beach, restaurants, and shopping practically on the doorstep.

My family and I come to this condo yearly with our 3 little ones and we are always pleased with our stay! I have watched this condo transform over the years as the owner upgrades it regularly. It’s right on the beach (literally in the “backyard”) and not far from some really great restaurants, ice cream and coffee/smoothie shop in walking distance, plus it’s not too far from Clearwater where you can find dolphin rides, jet skiing and so much more! People complain about the bar across the street being noisy but it’s not all night and it is a tourist area. We ourselves have never been awakened or bothered by the music. This is a forever vacation spot for us. Paula is easy to communicate with, she’s very understanding, and prompt in addressing our needs. Would 100% recommend!!

This condo was in the perfect location. We didn't have to travel far to enjoy many of the activities offered in the area. We were only steps away from the beach, which was extremely clean, spacious, and uncongested. There were also many great restaurants within walking distance. Crabby Bills was our favorite with the upbeat atmosphere, live music, and garlic shrimp. We traveled about 40 minutes to Fort Desoto Park to check out the fishing piers and we were not disappointed. We hooked enough fish for a perfect fish fry that evening. The condo is tucked away in the small sleepy town of Indian Rock, but we only had to drive 15 minutes to Clearwater Beach for the more touristy activities and party scene. Regardless of how we spent our days, returning to the comfortable and well maintained condo was always relaxing and refreshing. Pros: *Clean and modern condo *Updated Kitchen *New electronics (The kids loved the large Smart TV) *Enough space to accommodate me, my wife, mother-in-law, and our 3 kids *Plenty of beach gear (towels, chairs, etc.) *Laundry on premises (a must when you mix children and sand) Cons: *None (except for my job's unwillingness to extend my vacation time)

6/10

Stayed here with my husband and our two children (10 and 15). First the pros: The unit was a comfortable size. Check-in was a breeze, they sent me an email well before check-in with all the information that I needed. The unit was clean and had all the things that we’d need from toilet paper , to beach chairs and toys and towels. There were games and dvds available for use as well . The location is within walking distance of many restaurants. The cons: this unit is located on a very busy road that is very noisy all times of the day and night. As many others have mentioned you really need either a box fan or noise machine to drown out the noise. Also there are no curtains on the windows and it is very bright in both bedrooms during the night so makes it hard to rest . Our stay was okay, but I wouldn’t book this particular unit again.
