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. Park your boat at the end of the dock for the weekend. There are many great restaurants and bars within walking distance.

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.

We had the best vacation ever here! The property was perfect and had everything you could imagine. We took advantage of the hot tub, pool, kayaks and bicycle, loved just sitting on the dock and watching the boats pass. The whole place was immaculate and spotless inside and out. We will definitely be back, my family will remember this vacation forever !

Beautiful waterfront property

This property is amazing! We enjoyed the pool and views from the patio. Getting into the water with the kayaks was an extra bonus. The hosts treated us to some freshly caught fish which was such a pleasant surprise. I loved everything about this place and will definitely be returning.

Great place with abundance of amenities and fantastic view.

Super easy check in process, clear communication of what we needed. We never heard the upstairs owners until the very end with only a great smile and wave good-bye. It was exactly what we needed for us to relax and unwind. The pool was amazing, along with the hot tub (we kept it cool for August), our boys loved fishing off the dock and using the kayaks. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook and keep things cool. The living room was perfect for us to gather and the beds were comfy and clean. The place was perfect - Thank you! The Bellew's PS the bird life was so fun to watch with our morning coffee.

Lovely home

My husband, children and i enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Lynn and Harry's home. It is a perfect location with a pool a d hot tub on the intracoastal waterway. The house was clean and had everythjng we could have needed! The beach was a short walk (even for myself who is a marathon runner recovering from a torn hip flexor!) We felt like we had an actual week of relaxation and rest which we all really needed. Highly recommend this property!

Amazing vacations

Lynn and Harry were exceptional hosts. They are very kind and cared about our comfort. The house is within walking distance of the beach and everything is available from Lynn and Harry to enjoy the beach: umbrella, beach chairs, bodyboard, etc. The grocery store is just a few minutes' drive away. We enjoyed the pool and spa. We were lucky enough to see dolphins in front of the house. Thank you for everything. And as our teenager said, "Best vacation ever!"

Long weekend getaway

Condo was exactly as described & hosts were great. Please checkout the welcome book in living room. We somehow missed this the first couple days, but it has a lot of useful info in it. In brief, great location & was able to walk to many things. Water Park across the street for those with kids. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Jones

Host profile image
I enjoy travelling mostly in this great country. I love being outdoors biking, kayaking, golfing, playing tennis, skiing, scuba diving and spear fishing, hiking and just enjoying nature

Why they chose this property

We love living in Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) and have resided here for 35 years. It has a smaller beach community feel with plenty of great restaurants and bars. The beach is never too crowded. From our property you can walk almost anywhere you want to go.

What makes this property unique

We have a great view of the waterway and Indian Rocks Bridge. You can watch the boats from kayaks to yachts, try to identify the many sea birds, look for dolphins and manatees and just relax in the saltwater pool.
