Need other baby gear during your stay? Rent cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and more from BabyQuip!
As seen on Shark Tank, BabyQuip offers clean, sanitized, and safe baby gear in over 500 cities!
Visit https://www.babyquip.com/a/62zwln to make a reservation.

Don't worry about bringing or buying beach gear. The house is stocked with sand toys, beach chairs, beach towels, a beach cart, etc. Just bring your own Speedo and flip flops!

Unlike many beach side properties this one features a large parking area with room for six cars.
A car is nice to have to see attractions further inland but guests without a car can take the Suncoast Trolley (trolley stop is a few steps from the front of the house)
up and down the Pinellas County beaches from Clearwater Beach to St. Pete Beach. Indian Shores features dedicated walking and separate bike path lanes.
There's plenty within a 2 mile radius - ice cream shops, Smugglers Cove mini golf, the seabird sanctuary, and tons of great restaurants. By car the house is 5 minutes from a Publix; Target and numerous other stores are all within a 15 minute drive.
We love spending time at 'Three Mermaids and a Crab' and hope you will, too!

Excellent location!

This house hit all the marks for our group, very close to the beach access, clean, and private. We were able to have 8 of us without feeling like we were too crowded. The house is clean, and the updated kitchen was great. A little light on the kitchen utensils, towels, but enough to make it work. Steve was very speedy in getting us replacement beach chairs and umbrella when notified of broken ones.

This property and location is perfect. Just the right size for our group. It is so close to the beach that we enjoyed sunsets every evening. The pool is heated and allowed us to enjoy pool parties on cooler days. Everything inside is clean and new and cozy.

Christmas at the beach

Awesome property, everything was clean and felt brand new. Super close to the beach and they had everything you needed to hit the sand. The pool was heated so we could use it all day even when it wasn’t that hot out. Can’t beat the convenience and privacy! Would definitely stay here again.
