Luxurious and Relaxing Getaway
This house exceeded our expectations! The decor was stunning, and the amenities were top-notch. We especially loved the elevator for getting our luggage upstairs, and the hot tub overlooking the intercoastal was perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. The location couldn’t have been better – with easy access to the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. We spent our mornings sipping coffee while watching the sunrise, kayaking in the afternoon, and relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. It’s also close to great local attractions and wonderful restaurants. A dream vacation spot we’ll definitely return to!

Perfect Home for our Stay
With this house you get to enjoy both sunrises on the intercoastal and sunsets at the beach! We enjoyed the hot tub and infinity pool when we weren't spending time at the beach. Great location to enjoy many restaurants, shopping, and other activities. Owners were very responsive to any questions that popped up. Perfect house for large groups and families.

Nice place but not as pictures show
Nice quiet location,the cleaning people need to learn how to clean,under the furniture is just layered in dust,just awful!Also inside the oven was very dirty as well,elevator worked for like 10 mins then stopped working,didnt need it so didnt worry about it. Definitely needs some fixing up around the place for sure but overall was decent!

Excellent property
Four work colleagues and I rented this house for a two-day work session. It was beautiful, clean, and well-equipped. We walked on the beach in the mornings before work and enjoyed the pool and sun decks during our lunch breaks. Very enjoyable experience.

Family Oasis Adventure
A spectacular property with all the indoor and outdoor amenities you need to make your trip a great success. The property owners thought of everything you need, including games ,grills,kayaks and toys, to make every day an adventure. You only need to show up with ypur suitcases and nothing else. You and your family will have a fun filled day without ever leaving the property. You wont be disappointed.

Great location!
Great home right across the street from the beach and close to several great restaurants. Check in was very easy and included photos with instructions. Kitchen was well stocked, beds comfortable, plenty of towels provided including beach towels. We had a tough time trying to figure out some of the TVs in the bedrooms, lots of remotes per tv and no instructions. All in all I would definitely recommend this property and we plan to come back next year!

Beautiful!
I love Indian shores! My family has been going there for years. My girlfriends and I rented this house for my bachelorette party. The view, especially from is pool can not be beat! It’s amazing! Getting to the beach is so convenient-it’s right across the street! Lots of room and definitely would be good for a big family or multiple families.

Great Weekend Stay
The location of this vacation rental is fantastic. We enjoyed both waterways, and got out on the kayaks for a sunrise paddle on our last day there. The kids loved the pool, the parents loved the hot tub, and the house was comfortable for the baby shower we hosted. The showers besides the master suite shower were slow to warm, and did not ever get fully hot. The downstairs shower was slow to drain. The room advertising 2 queens includes an uncomfortable sofa sleeper. The room advertising a bunk bed and queen bed, sleeps 2 comfortably. The loft bed is cute, but not a comfortable place to sleep. We loved the use of the well stocked kitchen, beach towels, and pool toys. The living, dining, and porch spaces are wonderful. I would definitely rent this unit again for a group that needs 1 king, 4 queen beds, & 1 double bed. The proximity to the mangroves and beach is delightful.

Our Stay in the Peach House
The size and location of this house is a plus. The pool and hot tub are a nice bonus overlooking the intercoastal. We had 4 couples in the house and everyone enjoyed the week. There were some issues that were not easily overcome. No welcome/instruction booklet for operation of the TVs, the pool and hot tub, the AC, etc. So we had to figure stuff out as we went. We discovered the dishwasher was broken and reported this on day one and it was not fixed until day 4. Also there was a layer of dust on and around the electronics and under the furniture.

Great Location!
You really cannot find a better location than this property. We had our own pool overlooking the Intercoastal and then, about 500 steps away is the Gulf of Mexico with beach access! Setting in between many great restaurants both north & south, the property was quiet as it set back of Gulf Blvd. Fishing is fun in the Gulf and off the private dock in the back of the property. Big kitchen with luxury appliances, dinner seating for 8 comfortably plus more at the kitchen island. Great wrap around deck on main level for morning sunrises & coffee, then another wrap around deck at the top level. Owners were easy to work with and very responsive to all of our questions. If you have a group of 8 and want to be at Indian Shores or IRB (Indian Rocks Beach), this is the place! If we come back with the family, this will be our first choice.

Family of the Groom's headquarters!
The house and property was exactly what we had hoped for for our family. Our son got married on Indian Rocks Beach and this was the PERFECT headquarters for our family and friends. Every bed was INCREDIBLY comfortable! Our only disappointment was that the pool and hot tub heater didn't work. More so because I had explicitly messaged several weeks before how important the pool and the hot tub were to us (and got an immediate and thoughtful response). While a mere $40 pool fee was refunded, it wasn't about the money. The elevator didn't work, but that had no negative effect on our stay. Would we stay there again if another occasion in the area presented itself? That's an easy, yes.

Excellent location! Very clean!
We rented this house for my daughters graduation from UT. We had 7 adults 3 teen Agers and a 21/2 year old. We fit very comfortably with extra room. The location to the beach was great and the house had plenty of beach chairs. The pool and the hot tub where nice to enjoy. We enjoyed our coffee on the deck and saw dolphins and boats go by. The TVs where hard to figure out and the grills weren’t clean at all and the house smelt a little musty when we first got there. But that didn’t affect our stay at all if we had been staying longer I would have liked a clean grill. We stayed four nights so we didn’t do a lot of cooking. The beds where comfortable and there were plenty of towels and blanket. The elevator wasn’t working when we arrived. The home owner was very responsive and it was fixed the next day. I would definitely rent this house again. We had a great time!

Daughter’s 50th birthday celebration
Truly a wonderful vacation spot! House was clean, just as the pictures displayed and the location was perfect. The house sets back a way from the road, so you don’t hear the cars on the busy street. And there was no loud music or noise from condos on left. The beach was just across the street and there is a crosswalk signal to stop traffic to help you get across. House was fully stocked in kitchen with plenty of soap in bathrooms and laundry pods. Fully stocked dishwasher pods and garbage bags. Greatly appreciated! Beautiful clean pool and hot tub and walkway out to the bay. Any minor issues we had was quickly solved by Darcy who was kind and understanding . Plenty of beach accessories and towels for the beach. Only negative was the grill which needs replaced. But this house is very well taken care of and I’m sure it will be replaced. Hope to be able to visit again and stay here. One word of advice: make reservations to eat. Restaurants very busy. BC

Spacious and Spectacular
Overall, the home is amazing. We did arrive a day after Tropical Storm Idalia and that is the only reason I gave a 4 star rating for cleanliness, (which only pertains to outside the home). There is plenty of room to move around as we had a group of 12 adults. The pool had a great view of the bay and the evening view was nice. The beach is literally across the street. There are wagons, and plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels for the beach. There are floaties for the pool and lots of toys for the kiddos. There were two kayaks and a paddle board, which unfortunately we did not have time to use. The surrounding areas around the house were very quiet. Inside the home, we had plenty of dishware and cookware to use and plenty of seating with a table inside and outside the main living area. The bathrooms had plenty of towels to use, and a laundry facility to use if you should need to wash. There is an elevator in the home for easy transport of luggage and groceries to the upstairs area. The home has 3 levels, with decks surrounding most of the home. I would definitely recommend this home and would not hesitate to rent on our next visit to the area.

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Poorly Maintained and Inaccurate Description
It seemed very run down on the outside, and I was given the excuse "it rains every day" in Florida when I asked about the pool furniture which was dirty and soaked from a tropical storm. The owners were so "energy conscious" that we had to get up early to turn the spa on and we never had the pool heated because of the hours they had established for when we could run the water heater. Unacceptable to say you have a pool and yet not include heating it to at least useable temperatures. Final straw for me is the elevator and 1/2 the electrical in the house didn't work, and they offered to have someone come check out the electrical but ignored the elevator. I am a disabled veteran and stairs are incredibly difficult. Elevator was a selling feature we never got to use even after asking about it twice during our stay.

Too Many Unexpected Issues
The pictures showed a house without flaws and while we still enjoyed our overall stay, we would not book again. The place was clean, kitchen was spacious, rooms were well organized with extra storage. The elevator was neat. Our biggest complaint comes from the pool. We paid an extra $150 to have the pool at 80 (over the holidays the high was <50) and the adults never got in to either the pool or the hot tub. The system only running for 3 hours made it impossible for the pool to be ready when it was actually wanted such as in the morning or after getting back from an excursion. The hot tub was used once but majority of the time, it was colder than the pool. The dock was beautiful and long and provided a fun viewing experience throughout the day but solar lights didn't work but were left in place and broken. The upstairs tub in the primary bedroom didn't work (the only tub in the house). The main level shower backed up with 1-2" of standing water. The lock in the upstairs bathroom was broken. The door leading to the balcony on the main level wouldn't close without specific finesse. There were plenty of fans and lights, 4 controllers for fans but no batteries and no labeling to know where they even went too. The heat in the master bedroom doesn't work off it's own controls (how would we know that) but rather works off the study controls. It was 58 on the first night. I did reach out to the owners and had good response but all the things that were broken and damaged could not be fixed while we were there. No mention of these mishaps in their listing. For the price a night, I (we) expected much more than what we got. A manual of the house would be a great addition, all the quirks that you wouldn't know not having stayed there before. At this time, I would not recommend staying here.

Nice property but needs TLC
We enjoyed our stay but there were lots of little items that needed repair/improvement. Darcy and Matt, the owners, were responsive and did the best they could but the house needs a handy man to fix/update many issues: When we arrived the main floor AC was not working and with 3 bedrooms and the kitchen/DR/LR on that level, 77 was really warm, especially for sleeping. Very few of the windows actually function for opening so no cross breeze available-which would have been a huge plus being that we were located on the strip of land between the Intercoastal and the ocean. The main doorwall had apparently been out of commission for months (as the homeowner stated the part was on back order for that long) so you have to exit the side of the house and walk around to use the deck. To the owners credit they had an AC guy come the next morning and rig the AC to work for the main floor. For some reason that made the AC upstairs (3rd floor) go into overdrive and it was 63 in the master bedroom & bath the whole week, which was chilly. This was even with the unit upstairs turned completely off. In the office upstairs the ceiling fan did not work so owner offered to replace with another he had in the basement. He was able to remove the broken one, but not replace it. Again, to the owners credit they went to the store and bought 4 box fans to help cool the rooms down. We appreciated that. Neither the fridge in the office nor the ice maker in the main kitchen worked. They bought us bagged ice and came back with a portable ice maker the next day. The pool & spa managed to work most of the week, but it overflows into the Sandy area they built overlooking the Intercoastal. Pool guy said they have a “leak issue”. BBQ was in rough shape and all the solar lights that guide you out to the end of the dock are dry rotted and broken. We also replaced ping pong and dart board equipment as it was all trashed. The have 3 or 4 bikes none of which are functioning. Flat tires, broken chains etc and of the two sea kayaks one has a good paddle, the other is duct taped together. The whole garage area needs a good cleaning- full of kids toys, buckets and wagons full of sand. All relatively minor fixes but at the price we paid, you expect more from a property like this. The area is nice. Walk to beach is short. All the furniture and and beds are comfortable. Decorated nicely. We didn’t have any problems with the elevator. We made the most of our stay, & the owners were kind
