Watch dolphins in the backyard of this beautiful single family home, just a 2 min walk to the beach

This completely renovated home sits on the intracoastal and is a 2 min walk to the sugary sand beaches of Indian Rocks Beach. With your exclusive use of our 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home with sunroom that sleeps up to 8, you can wake up to the sunrise over the water on the dock in your backyard and watch the sunset in the evening. Prime location in this family neighborhood provides access to Brown Park, directly outside front door; with playground, tennis courts, and basketball courts.

Madison, our house manager is very quick to respond via message or text and is extremely helpful in any way she can be!

The family oriented neighborhood is one of the most desired in Indian Rocks Beach. You will often find people out riding their bikes, riding in golf carts, walking their dogs, or out for a run. There are many local restaurants, ice cream shops and cafes close by and of course the beach is only a 3 minute walk (2.5 blocks).

It’s a single family home in a great neighborhood that is family friendly and laid back with parking in the driveway. The front door is a digital key pad.

This single family home has recently been completely renovated; brand new kitchen, new flooring, fresh paint inside and out, and all new furniture. The best part....the home sits directly on the intracoastal. You can drink your morning coffee on the dock and watch the sunset at night. You can bring your boat and tie up to the dock. There is a washer and dryer inside for guest use.

Private parking is available in the home’s driveway. The beach is a short 2 minute walk to the Indian Rocks beach access and there are many local restaurants and shops several within walking distance or a short drive.

*Pet-friendly. The pet fee is $195 for your first 3 nights plus an additional $25 per night there after.

*Please message us if you require early check-in and late check-out. Each are $35 pending availability and approval.

*Pack & Play available upon request.

*If guest cancels their booking with VRBO, or Direct they will be not be refunded the 4% processing fee.

We provide our guests with a beach buggy, beach towels, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs for your convenience.

Great Location- basic house
The location was great. House was older and everything was the bare basics. Normal home comfort such as quality of pillows, amount of towels, weren’t comparable to other vrbos we have stayed at. Equipment stuff such as fishing poles, tennis rackets, and other rec equipment seemed to be old and not really able to use properly. So it depends on if those things are important to your stay. Very quiet neighborhood. We could easily walk to the beach at night with our little ones.

Perfect weekend getaway
We booked this property for a quick getaway and it was just what we needed. The house was nicely decorated and very clean. It had all the amenities one would need. The fenced in yard and dock were great for our dogs. Loved how close it was to the beach, which was much enjoyed! The communication was excellent! Would definitely stay there again!

Absolutely perfect location with tons to do!
My Wife, friends, and I all had a fantastic time during our stay here! Whether we took our short walk to the beach, a local bar, or fishing off the dock! Unless you need to go to the grocery store you really don’t need your car keys at all! We had a great time and this is going on our list of places to go back to!

6/6 would happily stay again
This house was the perfect homebase for our party of 6 with various vacation preferences. Everyone got what they wanted: a 2-minute walk to the beach (toys/equipment included), tennis courts across the street (pickleball set included), and a private dock (with paddleboards!) giving access to the bay. The house was very clean and comfortable with strong AC and ceiling fans in each room. Big trees in the backyard provided shade and privacy, and no pesky bugs ruined your time outside. The covered porch with a grill was a great additional space to gather. Even better was the kitchen (surely stocked by a mom), which allowed us to make homecooked meals with ease. We also appreciated the number of shops and restaurants only a walk or short bike ride away. Thank you so much to the phenomenal manager and homeowners for one of our family's favorite Florida stays! (And we come to Florida a lot)

Quiet time near the beaxh
Perfect three night stay - looking for quiet time to relax with a little beach mixed in. Breakfast every morning in the back by the dock was great - so peaceful watching the birds working and hearing the fish jumping. Lizards were also fun to watch! Less than five minutes walk to the beach - so easy and the beach wasn’t crowded this time of year. Easy walks to restaurants and bars with a cheap Uber if you just don’t feel like walking. Neighborhood was quiet and the house fully stocked. Just what we needed.

Flip Flop House Indian Rocks Beach
Location, location, location! This rental was perfectly situated to the beach and local restaurants and shops, all within minutes. The house was clean, inviting, and had all the amenities desired. The backyard view was picture perfect and relaxing. Our only regrets were not staying longer! The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, except for the signs opposing rentals that were scattered throughout. The house backyard view was so beautiful, but needed some love to the landscaping to make the space that much more plush.

Great location for a girls weekend
Amazing sunrise view each morning from the dock ... and we were fortunate to see 3 dolphins the very first day! The beach was just a short walk. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our girls weekend. We rented a golf cart to explore the area and found the community to be very friendly. Communication with the hosts was great - very quick responses! It was a short stay, but totally relaxing and fun ... and we plan to visit again next year!

Property was clean and as described in the ad. Beach was less than a 4 minute walk and the intercostal is in your backyard. Overall a great location. We did day trips to st Pete and Clearwater. This house was located between the two, about 15 minutes from each.

Great spot for a family get-away!
Our daughter and granddaughters were visiting from Minnesota, so this was a great house for us. We liked the well-supplied kitchen, large table for playing games, location, and backyard. The house was very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, there was a fluke summer-like storm in the area the whole time we were there, which is, of course, nothing against the house itself! We did worry that the water in the bay might go over the retaining wall, but everything ended up being fine. The owner was great to communicate with. I felt the need to let them know the house survived the storm! We did see one dolphin once despite the weather. If we'd have been able to enjoy the beach, this house would have been even more ideal. It provided the closeness without the extra-high prices that a house on the beach would come with.

Good location close to the beach.
Walking distance to the beach and restaurants was great. Back patio furniture needed to be washed down before we could sit on it. Back yard was nice, but not completely fenced in, so be careful with pets and little ones. Listing states there is a hot tub, there is not. Most neighbors had yard signs opposing renters, so not very welcoming. Overall, we had a good family Christmas there.
