On the second floor is the master bedroom which has new furniture (2026) king size bed, dresser, 2 end tables and a chair. This room also has a large walk-in closet that leads to the bathroom. The bathroom has a very nice shower/tub combo.

This was our second year at the property. It’s always spotless and the hosts have everything a family would need. We always fly in, so having access to beach chairs, etc. is so nice. You are STEPS from the sand. Pool is a nice bonus. We love IRB and this property will not disappoint!

Family Winter Escape

We fled the snow Indiana for Indian Rocks after several friends had recommended the area. We were so pleased with our stay! It was the perfect setup for our family, giving us plenty of room to rest, relax, eat, and play. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and the beach access was actually closer than we expected. We hope to return again!

Beautiful property. So nice that they thought to have a little bit of everything as a starter several food items and coffee said that we didn’t have to rush out shopping the first day. Well equipped with beach towels and even beach chairs and toys. This was a nice touch for a family that was flying in and wouldn’t be able to take anything back with us, or bring a lot with us.

Excellent stay in IRB

We had a fantastic stay in IRB. The property was spotless and only steps from the beach, just like the photos. Comfortable, safe, clean, and had all the essentials. Great spot for kids who loved playing on the beach, collecting shells, swimming in the pool, and having popsicles on the deck. The condo is near lots of restaurants, stores, coffee shops, ice cream places, etc. Walking distance to a nature preserve with a long boardwalk. Very pedestrian friendly area with ample sidewalks and crosswalks. Will stay again!

Best Thanksgiving Ever!

My family and I decided to take our yearly vacation early this year, and booked Thanksgiving week instead of Christmas. It was a perfect break from our crazy schedules! The area is very quiet, and the neighbors were friendly. The condo was clean, and basically on the beach. It was very easy to relax and get everywhere we needed to for groceries, etc. The hostess is so kind, responsive and thoughtful. Everything you need for cooking, grilling, etc. is available to you. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone needing a relaxing and family friendly vacation spot. We will be back!

Our favorite rental yet!

This was our first time to IRB. We take family beach vacations yearly, but I must say this was our favorite. First of all, I always look for indicators of how close a rental will actually be to the beach (sometimes they can trick you), but this one was so accurate and close. We loved it. It was so close my 4 year old could run back and forth to get toys while we watched him from the beach. You are right there. The condo was spotless. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. Even at 90+ degrees, it stayed so cool upstairs and down. Perfect view from the balcony. We walked to Pipo & Betty's each morning for breakfast & coffee (then later to the same location for ice cream). Loved it. Best vacation yet. We hope to return next year!
