About this property

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.

It was such a wonderful and peaceful experience and I could offer more praise for our generous hosts! We loved how quaint the atmosphere and neighborhood was. Everyone we met included the neighbors was so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend staying here! We are so looking forward to visiting sometime in the near future. Although we never met Lynn’s husband, Lynn was such a friendly and kind person to get to know. There is so many things to do at Indian Rocks, but I think my favorite part was the tranquility of evenings spent out on the dock watching the fish ripple the water in the moonlight. I highly recommend their wonderful home.

We had a wonderful stay in Indian Rocks Beach! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—just minutes from the beach and close to great restaurants and shops. It was a relaxing and easy getaway for our family, and we especially appreciated how well‑stocked and welcoming the space felt. Lynne was wonderful, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend it to others!

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!!!

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)

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.
