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.

Great Spring Break Spot

Easy walk to a beautiful relaxing and less occupied beach. Easy trolley ride to busy beaches, shopping and excursions in either Clearwater Beach or John’s Pass Village. All basic amenities were provided, communication was great and check out was simple. Would rent here again if I come back to the area.

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!

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Andi Bennett

Host profile image
Our home is owned by 2 families. Andi & Pete who have 2 kids and David and Carrie who have 2 kids. We have always talked about owning a beach house together and we found ourselves with extra time on our hands and we found the perfect property and purchased it together in summer of 2020. We call it the flip flop shop because Andi and Carrie have always joked about selling flip flops on the beach and now we get to host the experience of wearing flip flops and making amazing memories in our beautiful beach house.

Why they chose this property

Living in Tampa Bay, Indian Rocks Beach has always been our favorite beach because it's actually a local beach town but also very close to Clearwater Beach and Sand Key. David grew up going to Indian Rocks Beach as his grandparents lived in Largo when he was a child. We both have boats and love water front living and this house was perfect!

What makes this property unique

The location of our property can not be beat. It lies in the best beach town, Indian Rocks Beach and has a large back yard with beautiful water views of the yacht basin. You can even bring your boat and dock it here. We are a 2.5 block about 3 minute walk to the Indian Rocks beach access. Directly across the street from our house is a park with a playground, basketball, and tennis courts. We are minutes from local restaurants and ice cream shops!
