Outdated and desperately needing upgrades

The property listing stated on the beach which it was not, which I should have read more reviews and I would’ve known that. The location is across the street from the beach with a peek a boo view. The parking was tight and difficult for our older people in the party to maneuver. The overall furnishings were severely outdated and cheap. There were holes in the wall, the flooring in the primary bedroom was coming up, and the doors were peeling and warped in the bathroom. Overall, it is not a place that I would recommend for an extended stay.

Beach Villa - IRB

The property was exactly as it was portrayed. It's definitely an older property and some of the furnishings are old as well. The weather was cold and rainy so we were not able to enjoy the outdoor deck or use the beach and all the toys they provided. The unit came equipped with a washer and dryer which was nice. Loved the parking situation underneath and there is definitely room for 3 vehicles if needed.Just a suggestion to the owner, it might be helpful to have more kitchen towels, cloths, coffee mugs and a supply of coffee (or at least enough coffee for everyone to have a cup the 1st morning). There was also no ice in the freezer. That should be a must.Only complaint was the noise from the upstairs unit. You can hear them walking all around and it was quite loud. I would definitely rent this unit again in better weather though.

This place is steps away from the beach! Great location! The internet/TV didnt work during our short stay but understandable because of the hurricanes. Bring a bag of ice as there is not an ice maker in the freezer. Place was clean and again a great location.

Not as listed

The communication and check in process and check out process were great. not a lot of things to do but take the trash out... The actual property was old (not new as listing stated), have mold in the vents along with dust. There was no deep clean, left over hair from previous guest in the master bedroom. The furniture was very worn and visible "dirty" as well as the walls.

Perfect for a long weekend

Super easy access with clear instructions, timely communication from the manager, and the property was precisely as photographed and described. Loved the balcony for relaxing! Serenity in close proximity to the beach and a few restaurants was perfect; much preferred over the chaos and grit of Clearwater Beach. Only complaint is the noise from the tenants above our unit moving around at all hours — it disrupted our sleep. Overall, very pleased with our stay and would return!

Felt like a FL resident and avoided the crowds!

Bruce's place offers a delightful retreat with its comfortable and quiet beds, invigorating shower experience thanks to excellent pressure and height, and a balcony boasting beautiful views. Its convenient location makes beach access a breeze, while nearby dining options, including the charming Sandy's for breakfast, enhance the overall experience. Ideal for those seeking both relaxation and exploration in Clearwater.

We stayed for a month. Great location, tv in all rooms. Limited kitchen utensils. When we booked we assumed that unit 2b was the top floor. We had loud walking and noise above us in 1b, which we could have managed if it wasn’t early in the morning and at night. The property manager was very professional and helpful.

Indian Rock Beach

The kitchen was not well equipped. We planned to make some of our meals, but mixing bowls and cookie sheets were missing. The limited amount of cereal bowls had us washing dishes all the time. Could use the dishwasher only three times because there were only three dishwasher soap pads. Not clean around edges of bathroom floor.

Cozy, Convenient Beach Apartment

Across from the Gulf, the apartment was perfect for an extended weekend. There was ample parking under the building and the unit was very clean when we entered (one flight of stairs up). A large deck with plenty of chairs was perfect or sitting & watching the world go by. Loads of windows to let in the light, a nice modern kitchen and comfy beds all worked well for us. A beach wagon, chairs, umbrella and some beach toys were all waiting outside the door for us to use. There were plenty of towels (including beach towels!) and basic supplies (paper towels, dish soap, etc.) The unit was directly across the street from a beach access which was, unfortunately, closed during our visit so we walked 2 short blocks. A couple of restaurants in easy walking distance and many more within a short drive. IRB is generally quiet and there is a LOT to do & see in this part of Florida. Two suggestions: provide lock instructions with the entry code - we had trouble entering & had to call the manager. A few more plates, bowls, utensils in the kitchen would have been helpful too! We had a great time and absolutely would rent this apartment again!

Simply Perfect

We enjoyed our stay! There were basic kitchen amenities provided, which were useful, as we cooked. Also; I wish my kitchen looked like this one! Beautiful countertops, pristine backsplash and appliances. There were annoying fruit fly type bugs in the kitchen when we got there, but that is no fault of anyone—and an easy fix. The beds were nice and comfortable! There was a pack and play, weights and other workout basics there to use as well. The washer and dryer are super nice! You will need your own detergent/dryer sheets. Balcony area is furnished with nice chairs, a high top table and a floor fan. There are also area rugs out there, which is a saving grace with the sun shining bright all day! Great idea. For the beach, we utilized the wagon, umbrella and beach chairs. Absolutely convenient! Don’t go to the beach without loading that wagon. It was extremely helpful…almost got out there without a sweat 😉 …but then three kids. The location is PERFECT, especially for those traveling with children! Right across the street from the beach! There is not a great view from here on the balcony, but that didn’t matter with the short walk if we wanted a view. Evening beach trips are THE BEST (around 5)! Beach clears out and is cool. Helpful tip: We ate at PJ’s Oyster Bar and it was PHENOMENAL! Great food and great drinks! Clearwater is a short trip for the real tourist(y) things—boat excursions, aquarium (rehabilitation center), shopping, restaurants, etc.

The property was very clean and well taken care of. Had beach chairs to use when we walked across the street to the beach. Easy to get to many of our favorite restaurants, such as Guppy’s, Crabby Bills, Frenchy’s, and Gondolier, and loved having a code to use to come and go as we pleased instead of having to worry about keeping track of a key.

About the host

Hosted by Carter Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
Here is just a quick overview of my career along with a few of our Vacation strengths in the rental industry.
I have been involved in the hospitality field most of my life. After graduating from Boston University back in 1986 I got my start working as a night auditor in a small hotel in Boston. I was instantly fascinated with this industry and wanted to know everything about it. I enjoyed finding new ways to improve the overall experience for the guests and in doing so, I was promoted often. I learned all aspects of each department and through the years I became the General Manager of some well-known hotels and upscale boutique inns.
During my corporate career as a General Manager of a Hyatt Hotel in Tampa Florida, I had an opportunity to manage a small beach vacation rental along the shores of the Gulf. Simply put…I was hooked. This became my new passion and career.
My wife and I had stayed in vacation rentals in the past with mixed feelings about our stays, I knew there was room for improvement in the Vacation Rental business and I was excited to get started.
My team and I have worked hard over the years and I feel our success at Carter Coastal Vacation Rentals is from having a variety of vacation property options that suits each guests needs and budget. We also have chosen to keep Carter Coastal Vacation Rental business relatively small in order to maintain a personable connection with each of our new arrivals. I, along with my team understand the importance of anticipating the guest's needs as well as treating each guest with complete respect during their vacation getaway.
We take great pride in serving you. We are here for you. So choose one of our properties and soon you will be enjoying a "little slice of paradise" on the beautiful barrier island.

Hope to "see ya" on the Beach

Why they chose this property

Several things made me decide on this purchase. The location is perfectly located across the street of a quieter section of beach. Easy access, walk to the beach. Only 4 quaint units in this building with a beach feel. Park on site and walk to pubs, shops, local restaurants and of course the BEACH ! Large deck ...perfect for watching the sun set into the Gulf of Mexico.
Come and enjoy, completely renovated with the guest in mind.
Hope to see you on the beach
