Beachy Paradise

Property was small but perfect for a few day stay. Had everything we needed! Towels, pots, shampoo. You name it. Was nice to not have to worry about anything while we was there! Super close to the beach. Easy acess. Close to shops. We love Indian Rocks!

The owner lied about the number of bathrooms when I asked, didn’t provide much in the kitchen, had to even write to ask for the bare minimum of amenities for the kitchen, the beach umbrellas and chairs were broken and when we asked for an extra hour to checkout he called and yelled at my friend and I. It was the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had with another adult, let alone a host. Very disappointed in this stay. The location was great but the man was violently rude over the phone and made me feel creeped out. I suggest you stay somewhere else if you want hospitality on your vacation.

It was a perfect location within walking distance of so many great places and the beach. Very peaceful. The outdoor space was fabulous too. It was simple & relaxing.

The check in process so so easy, Mark sent us the info and it went so smoothly parking and getting unloaded. All we needed to worry about was getting some snack food and what we wanted to drink. The location is right across from tennis/ pickleball courts, basketball courts, play ground, and skate park. City Hall is right there, the library, and an Art Center. You can walk to a couple of restaurants, a strip mall and to the beach. You have a lot of things you can do because of where the house is located. The house was very clean, there were towels, blankets, pillows, and throw blankets. We brought our dog and cat and they didn’t have any problems enjoyed the neighborhood as well. The floors and baseboards are very clean as well as the rest of the house. We really enjoyed about our stay at the beach house.

Our stay was fantastic! The home is very clean and neat. The swower is a highlight! We enjoyed the outdoor space for relaxation.

very nice rental. supplied with everything. walking distance to beach and island restaurants. be sure to eat at Keegan's.

Mark’s beach cottage is so comfortable, cute and clean! One short block to the beach, restaurants within walking distance and the best breakfast spot/market 5 min walk away. Beds are comfortable, good AC, beach chairs, beach towels. We hope to return, we had such a fantastic vacation! Thank you Mark!

Very clean -nice pickle ball courts across the road if you play - quiet neighborhood with people walking every morning- when you walk back from the beach a shower (and foot shower) in the back patio before you enter the side door is a nice touch - washer and dryer in the back building- very clean with A/C heater units in each so you can control your sleeping temperature- very were very quiet and efficient- definitely will stay again

To begin with, I really believe the best part is the three minute; three block walk to the beach. Love that the house has an outdoor shower and foot wash for when you get back from the beach. This house has everything you need and everything inside is remodeled, updated in brand new. If you are traveling with children, there is a cute little park adjacent to the house. Loved the accessibility to a washer and dryer, even though it was outside in the shed. It was great to have that amenity. There is a plenty of outdoor space and seating. I liked having a driveway to park my car. We didn’t have any problems with check-in or communicating with the rental company. I would definitely come back and rent this adorable beach cottage.

The house was clean, and most of the interior was new and renovated. However, the outdoor chairs need cleaning (we did this ourselves), and there are only three chairs available. For a beach house, we missed having beach chairs; there was only one available, but it would be nice to have at least four for a family rental.Communication with the host was a bit challenging. We received the door code only two hours before our arrival, and that was only because we asked for it. Additionally, the Wi-Fi code we were given was incorrect, and it took hours to get a response when we inquired about it.Overall, we had a nice time!

Our regular annual IRB rental unavailable due to storm damage. Mark’s place was a lucky find. Excellent proximity to the beach - including the pedestrian crosswalk - as well as restaurants. The house was freshly renovated and spotless. A great place for a couple plus one!

Location was fine. Communication was good. Overall the house could use some TLC. Walls need fresh paint. Curtains are only one panel - not wide enough to cover the window (and all windows are ground floor where passersby can see in. Curtains in living area actually look like shower curtain panels. No curtain at all on kitchen window - we hung beach towels all around so people couldn’t see in at night. No wall decor - just holes where it used to be. Water pressure at bathroom sink was very low. Place was clean, just needs work.

Immaculate. Beach 1 1/2 blocks away with fine white sand. Motorists are very respectful of those crossing the street. Now painted grey with blue trim (not white). Not over populated as Siesta Key, but the sand is just as nice. Manager very responsive and easy to reach. Would recommend a small table and lamp near the bed in 2nd bedroom. Some are dependent upon eye glasses. Otherwise everything we nded,Tennis/pickleball courts across the street. Users are very respectful of hours 7a-9pm. I was on the beach or elsewhere during most of the hours. Several things to do within 2 hrs. My dau. flew in to Tampa. Manatees North = HomosassaSprings. Salvador Dahli museum in St. Petersberg. Download and use the free interactive site, skip the show. Tarpon Springs sponges/ great Greek food, touristy. Tampa Walking tour of Ybor City highly recommended. Cigar factory free and informative. La Sequnda bakery near by- the Best Cuban sandwich! Caladesi Island State Park-> Honey moon Island ferry OK. Great for shells as few are around. Zukies Key Lime pie the best Seek out Juicy Seafood- not cheap, but seafood boil with Cajun spice. Ask for mild. buckets/bibs gloves/varnished tables provided for the perfect boil. Enjoy the white, silky sands and calm beach

Very clean, smelled great, excellent location home owner had everything we needed already there. We are very satisfied

The house was a lot smaller than it looked online. No dressers in the bedrooms. I don’t think you could fit one in them anyway. We lived out of our suitcases for the week. And no central AC. And no outlet in the bathroom. Had a great time, it was very clean. But not worth 2,300 dollars. But we made the best of it and enjoyed ourselves.

Cute, clean house and very close walking distance to beach. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Host was great with communication. A last minute change in plans left us needing to find a place to stay on very short notice and I am pleased that we chose this property.

Sure! Here's a simplified version:---Review:Great location, just a short walk to the beach. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. Perfect spot for a relaxing stay.Let me know if you'd like it even shorter!

Wonderful location to the beach. But I have never been so cold and uncomfortable in a place before. Had to reach out to host to get check in information a few times. Had to hook up internet router and it didn't work. If you're looking to go to beach and crash for the evening, this is a fine place. But not a place to relax or when it is below 60 or so degrees.

The house is in a great location steps from the beach access, restaurants in walking distance. A park across the street in a very nice and secure neighborhood. The area is quiet and beach is not overly crowded. The house is small but tidy and quaint. Older with minimal luxury but nicely remodeled, the beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood very quiet and peaceful. Great outdoor area too. Very much enjoyed this place.

Not real big, this place was perfect for two couples and a small dog. Recently remodeled with new kitchen,flooring, and bathroom. AC unit in each room, nice patio with table and chairs. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach. City park across the street with, playground, picnic area, pickle ball and basketball courts. Has driveway parking long enough for two cars. Wish we had a longer stay. Owner was very responsive and helpful. A little more privacy for the back patio would be nice. We would stay here again.

Comfortable & quiet stay. Convenient to the beach. Close to resturants as well a as lots of places to walk our dog

There’s so much I could say about this little house. It has everything you need for a short vacation the contact Marc was available when I locked myself out of the house within five minutes. Two minute walk to the beach, restaurants and bars within a very short walking distance. Also, the place was immaculate when I checked in I will definitely try and this place next year.

Certainly will come back to this property. Excellent location and very nice cottage. Owner was very responsive and helpful on any inquiries.

It was a great place to stay for my son so I could give him a great first-time experience in Florida. Access to the beach was great, and restaurants within walking distance were good and had great service. Mark was very quick to respond to any needs. Great Host!

Would love to come back! Wonderful host and home :)

Very cozy beach cottage feels! 💙 We loved the location being right across the street from beach access & the host was always responsive & helpful! Indian Rocks is our favorite place for the last 10 years now & we can't wait to come back already! Thank you so much!

Nice little house. Was perfect for us and loved the short walk to the beach. Also several restaurants within walking distance. Be sure to check out Keegans Seafood. Excellent!! Be sure to try their Key Lime Pie!!!Also Guppys! Excellent seafood.

Great location!!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described. Loved the proximity to the beach!

This house was perfect for our beach vacation. It's just a short walk to the beach. The sunsets were spectacular!
