Our Pet Policy
We love pets, and offer 3 pet friendly homes for our responsible pet-owner guests to choose from. So pack-up your canine, feline or feathered friends and bring them along.
We require all pets to be listed on the rental agreement at the time of signing. Two weeks prior to your stay we require a note from your vet verifying that your pet is current with all of their vaccines, licenses, prescription heartworm, flea, and tick medications. In addition, all guests are personally responsible for cleaning-up after their pets (whether on our property, or during a walk around the neighborhood). Please email or call us if you have additional questions regarding our pet policy.
Each pet friendly home has a fenced yard for your canine friend. There is also a neighborhood leash-free dog park available for your enjoyment during your visit, and the Belleair Bridge Dog Beach is just around the corner. We also have two excellent animal hospitals nearby so your pet is never far from medical help if needed.
Our Smoking Policy
Many of our homes have private yards, patios, or outdoor deck areas where smoking is permitted.
Smoking is NOT permitted inside any of our homes.
This policy is strictly enforced, and violation of this policy will result in immediate early termination of the lease agreement, and forfeiture of your security/damage deposit. If the lease agreement is terminated for violation of this policy, we do not provide refunds for the remainder of the rental term. This applies to all types of smoking tobacco's & herbs. No exceptions!
Our Reservation & Cancellation Policy
We require a 50% reservation deposit and signed rental agreement to hold your desired dates. The balance is due at time of arrival. Cancellation periods are based on several factors, including: time of year, length of stay, etc. Please inquire to find out what our cancellation period is, for your specific, desired dates. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, money order or travelers check (USD). Sorry, no credit or debit cards.
It's not, "too good to be true"... it's just modestly priced, we promise!
Beach rentals are rapidly changing on the Gulf coast of Florida. Many of the small, affordable, family and senior friendly, mom & pop motels have been razed and replaced by large, privately owned million dollar condominiums. It is becoming very difficult to find vacation rentals that are affordable on a more modest budget or fixed income.
After searching for rentals and comparing rates, many people call and ask us why our rentals are so "cheap"... they want to know why our rates are so much less than other comparable rentals in our area? Here is why...
We are able to keep our rental rates to a minimum because we have cut costs in the following areas:
1. We do not accept credit cards
2. We advertise very little and rely primarily on referrals
3. We are on-site and maintain the property ourselves (we do not pay a management company).
So, if you are planning a vacation and you think you might like to stay with us, please book your reservation early! We promise you will not be disappointed.
Ride the Beach Trolley...
Our Indian Rocks Beach vacation rentals are all conveniently located and within walking or bike-riding distance to: shopping, dining, live entertainment, parks, tennis, fishing, churches, hair/nail/massage salons, public boat launch, and the Beach Trolley stop.
For your convenience, we offer 2 adult beach cruiser bicycles and a couple of 2-person kayaks; available for your use during your stay with us. The Beach Trolley is equipped with a bicycle carrier, and is a great way to get out and explore some of the neighboring beach towns or nearby mainland towns, via the Pinellas Trail.
Indian Rocks Beach has several lovely parks scattered throughout the city. All of the parks are located within walking or bike-riding distance of our rental homes. Pack your picnic basket and spend the day exploring all of the wildlife that call these parks their home. Many of our parks have covered pavilions with picnic tables. Or maybe you prefer to dine under a large oak tree, or to enjoy your meal on a sunny dock overlooking the intracoastal waterway? Whatever your preference or desire, we have a park nearby that will exceed your expectations! The sights, sounds and smells of these wide-open outdoor spaces are sure to calm the nerves and provoke a peaceful, relaxed state-of-mind.
You don't need to "stay on the beach" to "play on the beach". All of our rental homes are just a few minute stroll from their front doors, to having your toes in the warm white sand and crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The City of Indian Rocks Beach maintains 27 beach access parks located all along the main Gulf Blvd. corridor. Four of our homes are just 7 houses away from the 20th Avenue beach access park, one is beachside and has private beach access, and the other is just a few minute stroll to the 17th Avenue beach access park. Limited parking spots are available at these accesses, and if you choose to drive, the trip takes about one-minute.
Take-In the Sights...
Our rental homes are surrounded by the intracoastal waterway to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Our kayaks are a great way to get-out on the water and see the city from a different perspective. Take some time and paddle to one of the nearby spoil islands for bird watching, or grab your fishing license and a pole, and head-out past the Gulf buoys for some nearby-off-shore fishing.
Looking for a faster-paced option? Then you might want to rent a boat or waverunner for the day. Or maybe you don't want to be the captain... then you might want to consider taking a sunset dinner cruise. Whatever your preference; you'll find what you're looking for, in IRB!
