About this property

Beauty & the Beach for Lovers of Fun, Work, Beach

WE ARE READY FOR RENT! NO DAMAGE! PLEASE STAY WITH US.
Beauty and the Beach awaits friends & families who love life and work! 2 blocks to the white sand beach and 3 feet from the intercoastal canal. If you love swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, starfish finding water play... stay here!

Located on the water with 2 boat docks this 2020 remodeled home is perfect. From the huge gourmet kitchen to the four large bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The home is like new, quiet with special floors & solid doors. Land and water on three sides of you.For peoples who enjoy their food (huge gourmet kitchen), their boating (2 kayaks, 2 inner tubes & two boat docks), their wine (wine cooler), their fun (3 bikes, frisbees, baseball mitts, corn-hole, beach stuff), their water (fish from the dock or sunbathe on the beach), their work (office desks and super fast WIFI MESH), their lounging (huge leather couch & 70" TV with YouTubeTV) their own bathrooms (we have five), their quiet time (nothing but water and land on three sides of you located at the end of a culdesac) their TESLA (have socket bring your cable) you will love Beauty and the Beach!

Get back to the simple ways of life... beaching, tubing, fishing, biking, eating!

IS THERE REALLY FISHING? OMG yes! You can see the large beauties swimming around the docs. You have shrimp buckets and two reels all you need is some shrimp available 1/2 miles down Gulf Blvd. Please send us a pic!

BUT NO POOL... Who needs a tiny pool when you have the huge, very private intercostal canal. When was the last time you had a squirt gun fight paddling in inner tubes (squirt guns and tubes provided!)? When was the last time you and your partner or kids kayaked together (we have one big one and one lil one with life jackets and paddles)? Belly Flop Contest? Right off the NEW docks with easy ladder to get back up. WEAR SHOES for there are lots of shells.

ALL access and home is privately yours. The beach is a 5 minute walk with nice sidewalks directly down from the 7th street beach access (shower and all). There are two garages for play (games, corn hole) or to park your car (two of the four garages are the owners area) and four parking spaces definitely large enough for an RV.

Sherrall and Steve are 5 Star hosts for over four years on three properties. We are a phone call away but our Property Manager lives next door and is here to help you with anything. Steve and Sherrall are also available.

Located on a quiet cul de sac you have nothing but land and water on three sides of you. We know of no reported crime in over eight years (probably longer but that's as far as can go back). Police are 3 minutes away and hospital 12 minutes. You are walking distance to fine restaurants, lively bars, brewery, ice cream stores, putt putt golf and so much more. The beach is three blocks with push button crosswalk directly to a very private beach entrance with showers.

The City limits of Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) is approximately 3 miles long (from north to south) along Gulf Blvd. Based solely on its size, Indian Rocks is generally considered to be a walkable, pedestrian friendly city. With totally renovated street system there is wide, designated walking and bike riding areas next to the road. Unique to IRB is that it is only 2-Way (versus 4-Way in beaches north and south of us) so you can walk and ride in safety.

Peddle power is a great way to get around and see the sites during your visit to Indian Rocks Beach. Whether you bring your own bicycle (we have three there with helmets), take advantage of bicycles provided by your vacation rental host, or rent a bicycle from one of the local rental businesses; cycling is a fun, healthy, and inexpensive way to explore all of the beach communities. You can even rent a covered passenger trailer and take your dog along for the ride!

Golf Carts are a great way to get around on Indian Rocks Beach and visit surrounding beach towns. Bring your own cart or rent a golf cart.

Getting around Indian Rocks Beach and the neighboring Pinellas barrier-island beach towns is inexpensive, fun, easy, and convenient when you take advantage of the Pinellas Suncoast Beach Trolley service. The Suncoast Beach Trolley runs from Clearwater Beach (north), to Pass-A-Grille (south), and stops at specially marked "Trolley Stop" locations along the entire Gulf Blvd. route.

Want to bring your boat or personal watercraft with you during your visit to Beauty and the Beach in Indian Rocks Beach? Please be sure to check-out the Florida Boating Regulations before you arrive.

There are several public boat launches available for boaters to use when visiting Indian Rocks Beach. Don't have a boat or personal watercraft? No problem, there are plenty of places nearby where you can rent one for a half-day, full-day, week or more. You can dock it at our docks!

Quiet time after 10:00pm
Dogs only, under 25 lbs., Photo, cleaning fee/deposit required.
Not a party home! Property Manager lives next door and will monitor.

Excellent Vacation Spot
Highly recommend this house for your next vacation rental. I rented this home to host my family visiting from out of state. Everything was amazing. Every bedroom has its own bathroom and plenty of privacy. We loved the main floor layout because it was great for the family to gather and hangout. Customer service was absolutely AMAZING! Definitely plan to rent this home again in the future.

Vacation gem!
Our family and another family spent the week of Thanksgiving at the Beach and the Beach. We had an amazing time! The place was just as advertised. We love the fact it had two master bedrooms which made it sharing with another family ideal for our stay. Place was in great shape, clean, and had all the extras that really made our stay memorable. Little things like fishing poles and boogie boards along with beach towels and washer and dryer. Location is in a good place. 4-5 minute walk to the beach. Can walk up and down beach for miles as well as up and down Gulf Blvd which is a main street with local shops (ice cream, etc.). Communication was great with Steve and Sherral. Checkin and checkout was easy and I reached out to them a couple times during my stay and they replied right away. Overall, couldn’t have been a better place and experience. Looking for to coming back! Thanks again!

We enjoyed our stay. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which is nice when traveling with another family. Kitchen was beautiful and all the necessities available for cooking. They provided beach chairs, towels, cart, only thing needed is canopy. It is about a 8 min walk to the beach. The property manager was responsive and property owner checked in via msg during our stay.

Beautiful property with more activities than we had time to enjoy!
I cannot say enough good things about this gorgeous property or the owners! Communication was so fast and effective, every question I had was answered before arrival. Check in was a very easy process and we were immediately in awe of the property, the inside of the house and everything there was to offer. The house was clean and had everything we could of ask for and more from kitchen supplies, beach supplies, indoor/outdoor activities and more! I keep using the word “more” because I truly feel like we didn’t have enough time to get to enjoy everything you all have to offer! I have already sent pictures and recommendations to other family members and we will without a doubt love to return to this exact property for vacation! I was a huge fan of the open concept of the first floor and the fact that each person had their own bathroom in their bedroom was a super convenient added bonus. Thank you Steve for the lunch recommendation, the Cuban at kooky coconut really was amazing! Thank you all a million times over for making sure our family had a fabulous vacation!

Will likely return
Beauty & the Beach has everything you need for a beach vacation, which was especially important when traveling by airplane like we did so we didn't have to pack anything extra. There were 6 of us total, including our 2 year old, and we all enjoyed having our own bathroom attached to each of our bedrooms in addition to the shared half-bath on the main floor. We only needed to use a pack & play for our son to sleep in, but there were plenty of other baby gear options available for the younger kids too which meant 1 less thing to check in for baggage. This was our first VRBO experience & we were very pleased with everything. The listed description set us up with confidence & all our expectations were matched. We will likely stay again if in the area again!

Hidden Gem
Book this place! The owners are super easy to work with and respond very quickly (before, during and after the trip). The layout and location is ideal. It’s very nice (short) walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. It was peaceful and quiet in the neighborhood and the few neighbors we saw were friendly. The beach was beautiful (even during red tide of which we saw none). The house itself is super clean, they had everything we needed and more. It is very well kept, every detail from the super comfortable beds to the high end appliances. They even arranged for dolphins to swim by their dock (wink wink)! I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone but especially to those traveling with family / friends!

Great for a working Vacation
Property was furnished with everything you can imagine. It was fabulous. The walk to the beach was not far and the shores are breathtaking as expected. The hosts were amazingly attentive, available and courteous and I think its a great place if you want to bring a family on vacation or with you while you work remote! Home was great for entertaining, proximity and essentials! We were expecting a more quaint area with less traffic but have never been to this area. My only real recommendation is that the bed frame in Master does'nt move when you're sleeping because nobody sleeps still. We ended up trying other suites to get a good nights rest. Curtains would be a great asset to block out light or provide privacy. It kind of felt like living in a fish bowl lol. Lastly, we would have like to be notified there was construction right out front. It kind of ruined the 'view' that was shown on photos. We are certainly not trying to be negative because it was a wonderful rental from great hosts! Just thought it would be good for ya'll to know. Thanks for having us! Blessings

Wonderful stay!
This house was perfect for our family. Everyone enjoyed their own bedroom/bathroom & we were pleasantly surprised how comfortable the beds were. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and patios were perfect for everyone to join for some family fun or to find a place to relax. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals, and lots of containers to store leftovers for the next day. Tons of beach accessories, including comfortable, reclining chairs to relax to the sounds of the ocean. We used the provided kayaks, and everyone was excited to see dolphins swimming next to the dock! The owners are wonderful - very attentive and informative. We appreciate them providing this beautiful home for so many to enjoy! If we return to the area we will definitely stay here again - loved it!

Rarely do you find property that has separate bedrooms and bathrooms, but this is it! All four bedrooms were able to give adult children privacy and space. Alot of activities/games provided as well as the kitchen is the most well stocked, I have ever seen in a rental property. The owners are responsive and answer all questions in a timely manner.

Florida Beach Family
We had a good time with family time and the beach, but Not a very good welcome at first. I hadn’t even moved luggage in and received an email saying I owed more money because there was a dog with our party. Got a little upset because I paid $200. Extra already and apparently whoever did not check this. Along this same line there should be consideration as to the breed of the dog because ours was a miniature aussydoodle which has hypoallergenic non shedding hair. There was no extra cleanup for this dog, especially not $200. The floors had not been mopped as your socks would be filthy when you walked on the floor. All the showers need hand rails or grab handles put in them to help from falling. The living room East and West sides need shades or curtains to close or open as needed because you don’t want the sun blaring in all the time. Seems neighborhood you have to walk through to get to the beach is not that safe. One day police were called to a man and woman fighting in the street and seemed high on something. Other days there were people in the street acting irrationally. I was not real thrilled with our surroundings in this area.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Barrowclough

Host profile image
Steve and Sherrall are over 10 years 5-Star hosting of multiple properties in Virginia Beach... then we moved to Florida! We are in our early 60's and considered by friends to be fun, happy and caring. We have three kids and a new grandkid (yippee). We sincerely care about your have a grand vacation. We are compulsively clean and would never think of charging you for toilet paper and such AND you have plenty! We love wine and have been known to leave a bottle for you. Please stay with us!

Why they chose this property

Beauty and the Beach is classy! We bought the property for it is serene, quiet, surrounded by no one but land and water on three sides. It is less than three blocks (six minutes) to the very private beach of white talc sands. You are three feet from the inter coastal canal for fishing, kayaking, swimming and watching a dolphin or manatee swim buy. Across the water from us is a bird sanctuary so no telling the kinds of birds that sit on the docks. You will get to know of few of them!

The home is completely, top to bottom renovated with new everything (including beds), top quality linens and... 5 bathrooms (we are big about our bathrooms) newly tiled.

What makes this property unique

Giant and new kitchen. Wine cooler! Two Docks (rent a jet ski and don't bring it back). Tesla Charge Outlet. Tons of places to sit... back deck with two tables, front deck with mini morning or evening coffee table. Fun stuff at hand (ping pong table, corn-hole, board games, frisbees, fishing poles, baseball mats, beach stuff)... so much more! So please stay with us for memories forever.
