Flipper's Lagoon Luxury Waterfront Pool Home Dolphins in Backyard Daily

Flipper's Lagoon is a large 3 story, 3,400 square foot, large roomed luxury waterfront house with private pool overlooking a gorgeous view and a 30' boat dock with two boat slips. (Bring your own boats or rent nearby or use the included kayaks) Nestled on a saltwater swim and snorkel cove Flipper's Lagoon is visited daily by dolphins and other wildlife. Flipper’s is luxurious with opulent furniture, extremely comfortable beds and garage full or toys. Included are three kayaks with life vests for everyone and good fishing tackle. There is a basketball, volley ball, soccer ball and beach balls to use at nearby parks. You may see spoon bills, quaker parrots, blue herons, manatees, ospreys, jumping eagle rays and of course, dolphins. Our guests have caught red fish, snook, snapper and flounder right off the dock.

Flipper’s Lagoon is 700 yards to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Indian Rocks Beach. A safe, friendly, natural beach where you can sunbathe, look for shark teeth and sea shells, fish, swim and surf. Flipper's Lagoon includes everything for the beach including chairs, boogie boards, three umbrellas, a beach canopy and toys for kids of all ages.

Take a short walk to a variety of restaurants, beach bars, parks and local attractions. Close by is Kolb Park with basketball, tennis courts, baseball fields, children’s playground, picnic pavilions and a skate board park. There you will also find an art center, library and boat ramp close by. There is a nature park 100 yards from the house with board walk that extends into a tropical mangrove bay. This nature park offers an outdoor work out area equipped with several machines for a unique athletic experience.

Flipper's Lagoon has an inviting waterfront pool centered on an 80 foot long sea wall. Paradise found here in this tropical setting. Spend your days relaxing by the pool, boating to many nautical destinations or kayaking to one of three near by nature islands. Fish off the dock with one of the fishing poles provided and cook your catch by the pool on the grill.

Flipper's Lagoon is equipped with five smart TVs and high speed internet.

The kitchen is fully equipped including quality cookware and utensils, dishwasher, microwave, fridge with icemaker, oven, blender, toaster, waffle maker, coffee maker (standard and K-Kup,) two crock pots, electric kettle, electric knife and electric hand mixer. There are plenty of drinking glasses, wine glasses and coffee cups with enough casserole dishes and bakeware to make a feast. There is a high chair available.

The dining table is impressive with seating for eight and extra chairs are onsite for your family’s bigger dinners.

The waterfront gathering room has a 65" internet TV, large leather sectional sofa, leather love seat and three leather comfort chairs. There is a waterfront view and a 30 foot balcony with plenty of seating.

There are children’s parks with play equipment at both the nature park 200 yards away and the main Kolb park just a little further down a quiet street.

Golf Cart rentals are available for those who wish to book a daily golf cart rental.

The 30’ dock has a swim ladder and fish cleaning table and the fishing is fantastic right from the dock. Fishing poles and fishing tackle are provided and bait can be caught or obtained from many local bait shops. Redfish, Snook, Black Drum, Flounder, Grunt, Mullet, Trout and many more species have all been caught here. Cook your fish right on the grill next to the pool. The pool deck has six Adirondack chairs, a table set and plenty of patio chairs. Kayaks, kayak paddles and life vests are provided and there are many areas to paddle including the River of Hidden Mystery, Party Island and Bird Island. Your sense of adventure and a bathing suit is all you need to experience an unforgettable paddle into this waterfront paradise. Directly across the lagoon is a commercial fishing boat captain who with. prior arrangement will pick you up directly off your dock for a half or full day of off shore fishing. Come home, clean your catch, grill your fresh seafood and jump in the pool. Paradise found here at Flipper’s Lagoon.

Flipper's Lagoon caters to travelers requiring the cleanest of environments free from having ever been smoked in, free from ever having animal dander of any kind, with high air quality treated by UV lights and thoroughly disinfected for each guest arrival.

Flipper's Lagoon is a smoke and animal dander free clean air environment catering to the needs of vacation travelers who require perfection in air quality and cleanliness.

We provide a single pack of laundry detergent in case you need to do a load while here and also provide liquid dish soap and dishwasher detergent pack(enough for 7 loads), one full roll of paper towels to get started, 3 rolls of tp per bathroom and liquid hand soap in each bathroom. We also provide enough garbage for 7 days. You may wish to bring extra.

Flipper's provides many items in the garage as a bonus to make your vacation more enjoyable but the condition of the items is largely dependent on the guests who stay before you. There is a bike pump to air up the tires in the bikes, please don't ride bikes in saltwater as it will rust them up prematurely. Fishing poles are provided but the guests must rig them up and there is an honor system tackle box for guests to use some tackle/leave some tackle - there is a bait shop a couple blocks away.

Flipper’s Lagoon is owned by a boat captain and a nurse who frequently travel to vacation rentals and understand the importance and value of your time on vacation. Much care goes into making an ideal experience for our guests. We want our guests to have the most wonderful time of their lives and we hope it shows it many big ways and in every little detail. We hope you return time and again. Thank you for staying here at Flipper's Lagoon.

Great Family Time

We had a great family get together at a great place. Loved the location and enjoyed the fishing from the dock. Grandkids had fun in the pool and at the beach. Rod and Tracy are great hosts and handled any issues we had quickly. Definitely a place we will come back to

Great Stay

Flippers Lagoon was the place we needed to relax and rejuvenate. It was so peaceful and quiet sitting on the dock and by the pool. There is a large table for gathering or sharing a meal, the beds were comfortable and so was the furniture. Although we didn't watch a lot of TV, there are plenty so everyone can watch their own thing. The furniture was also comfy.One of the best perks of staying at Flippers Lagoon is the location to the beach and to just about everything else we needed.The only con was the pool heater was down (like all the others around) and waiting for parts. The water was a bit chilly but we still swam.Rod and Tracy were quick to answer any questions. We had a great stay.

4th of July at Indian Rocks Beach

Nice house for a big family on the waterway for boaters. Beach equipment was all worn out. We ended up buying a lot new and leaving it because we flew in. The AC is not sufficient for the house during our stay, owner has the thermostat locked not to go below 74 which caused us to be warm. Minor plumbing issue that the took care of quickly.

Great backyard and location!

My family had a very relaxing time at Flippers Lagoon. The house was clean, spacious and close to the beach and shops. The highlight was definitely the backyard. The pool is a good size and we loved hanging out in the water while watching our kids fish off the dock.

Great location, not good for seniors or toddlers

The house was well-stocked and clean. The pool and the many amenities in the garage were wonderful, and the location was great. However, we would have booked a different property if the floor plan had been included in the listing. It was a challenge for our parents and for the family we were there to visit.. There is a large stone/marble foyer with a couple of steps up to the level of the bedroom, bathroom and (small) kitchen on the ground floor. The living room is half a flight up on the second floor, with a guest room that opens directly into the living room. There are 30 steps from the front door up to the 3rd floor primary suite. The open stairway acted as a megaphone carrying the voices of our school-aged children from the ground floor to the top floor. The layout was challenging for our family, but it would be fine for those without any mobility or stair safety concerns. The extra guest room on the top floor is only accessible through the primary bedroom. The 3rd floor bathroom has a wonderful tub and walk-in shower. There was also a huge closet (also accessible only from the primary bedroom). We were visiting family who live in St Pete’s, and they have a baby who just started walking- all of the steps were a challenge when they came over during the day to hang out. As was the spiral staircase down to the pool area. Child safety gates would be helpful for any guests with young children. I would not recommend this house for anyone who has any mobility issues.

"Unforgettable Stay: A Review of Paradise Found - VRBO Haven"

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic VRBO property, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful house and its prime location. The proximity to the waterway made for stunning views and provided endless opportunities for kayaking and fishing. Speaking of kayaking, the fact that the house supplied kayaks for our use was a fantastic bonus. It allowed us to explore the local waterways at our leisure, immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of the area. As for the house itself, it exceeded all expectations. Not only was it spacious and meticulously clean, but it also boasted all the amenities we could ask for. The pool was a particular highlight, providing the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sunshine after a day of adventure. Overall, our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of the incredible house, stunning location, and thoughtful amenities made for a truly unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return!

Great location & stay!

My friend and I brought our combined 4 grade-school aged children. This was our first trip to IRB and I feel sure it wont be our last! The house was a perfect layout for our two families, the fishing equipment, bikes & other gear were great for our group as well. Plenty of beach and shower towels. Lots of walkable shops & restaurants, plus grocery delivery available- we didnt need a car. Beach is about a 10 minute walk. The hosts' communication was excellent!

Great Vacation Destination

My family and I had a wonderful time at Flipper’s Lagoon in Indian Rocks Beach! We spent most of our days at the beach and in the pool. What an amazing view to wake up to. The house is well-equipped for large groups. There are places to gather and places for privacy. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is a tv in every room. The hosts are beyond amazing. Easy to reach them and they answered questions within minutes. We grilled out on our last night and enjoyed eating poolside while watching a manatee hanging under the deck. Highly recommend this property!

The property is very nice and just as described. All the water equipment, beach equipment, and bicycles in the garage to use make the stay even more enjoyable. The swimming pool was excellent as we spent a good bit of time in it. Rod and Tracy even dropped off some fresh fruit for us which was very good. We enjoyed fishing off the dock. There is plenty of convenient beach access close by, but you are far enough off the beach to relax and unwind when you've had enough fun in the sand.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed Flipper's Lagoon. The description of the property is spot on. It is very clean; very well-stocked with towels, dishware, etc.; has well-functioning appliances, a nice pool, and much more. The local restaurants are great, and if you want to fish the Gulf have the owners connect you with Captain Randy just across the harbor.
