About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home away from home but with dolphins and manatees in your back yard.

The property is the downstairs of our home with separate back entrance, separate central ac and mini split ac. Lovely location on the intracoastal waterway with dock, salt water pool, hot tub, kayak and bike use. You can enjoy watching dolphins, manatees and many sea birds from the pool and dock area. Our beaches have white sugar sand and lovely blue water. and are a short 2 block walk away. There are many great restaurants and bars within walking distance.We do live upstairs so you may occasionally hear us but we do not use the pool,or other outdoor amenities when we have guests.

Location was perfect! Unfortunately, our trip coincided with the coldest weather seen in FL in years. However, the amenities still made it enjoyable. We enjoyed laying by the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. Loved being right on the canal. Lots of wildlife sightings - dolphins in the canal, an Osprey nest near with one perching on a neighbor's tree and a heron who decided to hang out on the deck. Short walk to the beach as advertised. Had everything you need for the beach and a wagon to pull it in. Great restaurants within walking distance. Host was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will most definitely come back. (My daughter is already trying to plan another trip)

Great property, spacious, nice outdoor space. Its clean and full of the things you need like blankets, towels, kitchen equipment. It was too chilly to use the pool but we enjoyed the view. We watched fishermen and saw dolphins from the dock. Its a short walk to the beach and a few fun restaurants. The area is less commercial than other beach areas nearby which made it more pleasant in my opinion.

Perfection

Where to start, amazing waterfront property with incredible views, the beach, local restaurants and bars (and ice cream shops!) are all easily walkable, if you want to go further afield there is a regular trolley bus. The pool was brilliant, there were kayaks available to use which were a massive hit. Check in was simplicity it's self and the facilities were all you could ask for. The best bit were the owners - Lynn and Harry who live upstairs, they were delightful and helpful in equal measure. full of useful tips to help make you stay more enjoyable, out only complaint is that we did not see enough of them. This place is an absolute gem of a holiday home and we can't wait to return

Perfect place

This property was wonderful. It was clean and had everything you needed for a wonderful vacation. The owners were the nicest people who were easy to communicate with and provided so many "extras" that you felt like you were home. The location was wonderful that you could walk to the beach then come back and soak in the hot tub. Would definitely come back!!!

Bay & beach

This house gives you the best of both worlds. We spent time kayaking, fishing off the pier, swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. We walked to the beautiful beach, ice cream shop and coffee shop. It's a very short walk to beach. The house is very spacious. We had the whole down stairs. Indian rocks beach is less crowded and beautiful.
