About this property

Indian Rocks 'Lizard Lair' 350 ft from the Beach!

Take a trip to 'Lizard Lair,' a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom vacation rental condo in Indian Rocks Beach. As a part of the ‘Laughing Lizard Bed & Beach House’, the ‘Lizard Lair’ has all the comforts of home. With a 15-foot River Jet swim spa, private elevator, 2-car garage, and the Gulf of Mexico only 350 feet away, across the street via flashing gulf boulevard crosswalk. Spend your days soaking up the sun on the beach or enjoying a nightly sunset show on the shores of Indian Rocks Beach!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1 (Shy Salamander): King Bed | Bedroom 2 (Crimson Chameleon): Queen Bed | Bedroom 3 (Gallivanting Gecko): King Bed | Bedroom 4 (Nautical Newt): King Bed | Living Room (Lizard Hall): Full Sleeper Sofa | Additional Sleeping: Pack 'n Play, Inflatable Mattress

The 'Laughing Lizard' features a Key West, cottage-style architecture that speaks to Indian Rocks Beach's roots. You'll find your home-away-from-home, boasting 3,100 square feet of living space, just steps from the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

After a busy day on the beach, unwind with a movie marathon on the flat-screen TV in the Lizard Hall, while others curl up with a good book from the lizard library. If you've still got a bit of untapped energy at the end of the day, head outside for a dip in the soothing swim spa - shared with the other vacation rental on-site!

Refuel your little reptilians with a five-star feast made right from home! The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a Keurig, and ample counter space to ensure that evening meals will be an absolute breeze. Serve grilled shrimp from your barbie at the kitchen island until you're ready for the main course at the 8-person dining table.

End the night on the front porch, just as the sun sets over Indian Rocks Beach across the way. If you want a front-row spot, walk a short 350 feet across the street at the flashing cross walk to direct beach access to reach the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

When you're ready to retire for the night, head inside to choose between one of the four bedrooms. Each boasts a unique personality - with sophistication in the Shy Salamander bedroom, tropical vibes inside Crimson Chameleon, Native American influences in Gallivanting Gecko and Nautical Newt serving as your seaside soiree! All 4 bedrooms also include the added luxury of a fully equipped en-suite bathroom. Additionally, many of the rooms in your beach house have a Peek-a-View of the Gulf of Mexico.

Traveling with a large group? You're in luck, guests seeking extra room and sleeping accommodations can book the entire 'Laughing Lizard Bed and Beach House'. The other units are called the 'Lizard Landing', and the 'Lizard Loft'.

*Please note that there is another vacation rental on-site, in a completely separate unit, with some shared amenities*

-- THE LOCATION --

Spend your lazy days sitting on the oceanfront of Indian Rocks Beach. Start your morning with a shelling excursion and a long walk along the shoreline, or jump on a paddleboard from Rad Rentals to cruise the beach. Enjoy grouper sandwiches for lunch and surf & turf for dinner at one of the many restaurants located within a mile of the property. Pick up a fresh pastry from Cafe de Paris, and breakfast at Sandy's Restaurant is a must! Both are conveniently located across the street from your beach house!

For a change of scenery, catch a ride on the Suncoast Beach Trolley to explore other stellar area beaches and attractions!

If you're looking for something new to try, head 15 minutes north to Clearwater Beach. Here, you can take a Segway tour of the town, fish off the renowned Pier 60, swim with the dolphins or tour the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, home to the famous Winter from the movie “Dolphin Tale!”

Beach house at its best

Just amazing home. Lot of good things that people would appreciate when staying here, all beach things that you need is available to you, tent, chairs, towels, toys, coolers. House is very spacious. Just a block from beautiful beach. House has an elevator which was really helpful for getting our luggage up and down. Greg was awesome at responding and helping throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place to any size of group.

Greg, our host was amazing! Checkin was so easy and he was so attentive. Our group had the 4 bed, 4 bath and each room was decorated different. The beach across the street was great, restaurants galore and grocery store close by. The elevator was a winner for 4 senior couples. Definitely 5 star!

Best ever.

All we could ever ask for in a beach rental. Everything was provided that we needed. Very clean. The elevator was great for my husband who uses a cane. Easy access to the beach and 2 small restaurants and a bakery across the street. As Greg had told us, you don’t need anything except beachwear and sunscreen. There was even a hat rack with a selection of hats for those who forgot to pack one. Our family is already planning for next year!

Wonderful house!

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The condo is in a great location across the street from a beautiful beach and great bakery and walking distance to great seafood restaurants. The condo is so nice, very large, and has an elevator (!) which makes for very easy movement of luggage. The condo is very well stocked, and Greg, the host, is very gracious and responsive. This is one of our best rental experiences ever!!!

Bachelor Trip at the Laughing Lizard

Stayed here with friends for bachelor trip. You get best of both worlds; having the convenient walk to all of the local restaurants. Beach Wave, Sandy's, Guppys, PJ's, and Keagan's some of the best food and service. Property owner was polite and courteous. Property provides all beach gear for guests. Beach access is a 1 minute walk. Overall: A+ Only complaint is that the grill on the property is charcoal instead of propane, so we were unable to grill out not checking if we needed charcoal before the time we intended to cook outside.

Perfect condos for our family reunion

My family held a wonderful reunion at Lizard Lair. We rented all three units to accommodate three generations of family and friends, with the adults taking the bedroom/bath combinations and the younger 20-something generation mainly camping out in the open studio suite. The living area of the largest condo was the perfect gathering point for all ages, providing room for some to watch sports, some to hang out in the open kitchen space, while others gathered around the large dining table for games and conversations. It became a perfect "melting pot" of personalities allowing new or renewed relationships with distant relatives. In addition to the condos themselves, the location could not have been more perfect. We loved the beach access since some wanted to stay there all day and others could come and go as they please. It was a real bonus not to be dependent on a car for the beach as well as the many great places for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In summary, we all felt that it could not have been better!

Husband’s birthday surprise

Easy assess to the beautiful beach. Two of the beach umbrellas were broken and need to be replaced. Open main floor made it easy for 6 adults to eat, play games, watch tv together. Big draw was that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Our mattress was not the most comfortable, too soft for us. Elevator was wonderful for moving suitcases and bringing in groceries, etc. Also great for tired feet and bad knees. We enjoyed our time there.

Great experience

The owners communicated and everything was exactly as stated. We were walking distance to restaurants and the beach. They had everything we needed there for us (including ice chests) which was great. We had 2 families so the layout was wonderful. Literally, the only thing we would change is larger beach towels. They were child size. Thank you so much for a wonderful week! I highly recommend.
