We loved it!
This was a great property. Very well maintained, clean and very functional. My husband and I stayed here with our dog and had a wonderful time. So many spaces to enjoy the outdoors. The upper deck off the unit was a nice screenroom-perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. Downstairs at ground level there were two hammocks and lots of places to seat people and also a nice gas grill. The outdoor propane firepit was really nice, too. Mia provided two wonder wheelies for the beach, plus umbrellas and chairs. We threw all our stuff in and wheeled it right to the beach, which was a very short walk. You do have to cross a two lane street, but as soon as you press the button on the pole, the flashers go in and the cars stop for you. Lots of restaurants within walking distance, and a dog park as well. This one’s a winner. We’ll be back!

Great place; great location!
My husband and I have been staying in Florida as snowbirds for a few years now. This is by far the best place we’ve rented! The host is very responsive and super friendly and helpful! The place was roomy, comfortable, clean, well stocked and updated! In unit washer/dryer was a game-changing feature. All new appliances. Dog friendly. A block from the beach. It was absolute perfection! This host thought of everything! We will definitely be returning.

The place is immaculate, the host is friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.
I recently had the pleasure of staying here with my pregnant wife and dog. We wanted a place to relax and it was an absolute delight. The first thing that struck me upon arrival was the place's cleanliness. It was spotless and well-maintained, immediately setting a positive tone for my stay. The location was perfect for a serene and relaxing getaway. The quiet surroundings provided a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I found myself unwinding effortlessly, with the tranquil sounds of the nearby beach adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, my experience was enjoyable, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and relaxing beachside retreat.

Wonderful vacation at tropical paradise!
The property was even better in person than the pictures showed. Mia thought of everything so if you do not want to go out to eat, you can just go to the store and buy food and come back and cookout and all the utensils and plates were available. The beds were extremely comfortable and the couch is absolutely amazing! At night we Stayed at the property and cooked out and enjoyed the fire pit. during the day we just crossed the street to the beautiful beach. Will definitely be visiting Mia's place in the future!

Great Clearwater area beach property
Property summary It’s modestly sized and comfortable, so a great choice for a couple and workable for a group of three to four. The neighborhood is a typical upscale Florida beach community. We stayed for ten days in late January/ early February 2023. Communications/ coordination We had good communications with owner Mia before, during and after our stay. Mia was responsive when contacted by text or phone. We had several minor questions requiring communication, and Mia was quick to address these. She was friendly and engaging. We also were introduced to a long term resident next door who was very friendly. Property details As noted, the property is one unit of a duplex. It’s all been updated in the recent past, so all furnishing, appliances etc. are fresh and up to date. All the amenities were as described. Property limitations If mobility challenged, note that the property is on the second floor and accessible only by stairs. This was mentioned in the description but we missed it. Fortunately for us this wasn’t a deal killer. Area comments Many nice casual restaurants in the neighborhood. A quick drive to the mainland gives access to a wide variety of retail stores and more restaurants. We were told that at times the traffic can be heavy but we didn’t experience this (January is perhaps a bit early!)

The location is the best! Right across the street from the beach, a block from a beautiful nature preserve, and in the heart of IRB restaurants and culture. The owner is amazing and makes sure you have everything you could possibly need or want!

Mia was very helpful. This was a last min get away for us. We also had our fur baby. Lots of great places to walk your dog. Mia really made us feel welcomed. Everything you need is there. Location is awesome. Close to shops and lots of local spots you can walk to. Couldnt have asked for a better vacation spot and a great host.

Mia was a wonderful host! The apartment was neat and clean and well appointed. It was awesome to have that huge, beautiful beach just steps away. Great little restaurants in both directions within walking distance. Everything you could ask for in a beach vacation. We had a super time! Would stay here again without question.

Much needed getaway
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a short vacation to unwind and celebrate my college graduation. The check in process was smooth. Mia made everything super easy for us. The property was clean and had everything we needed. I loved the sitting area outside the door with it being screened in. If we weren’t on the beach that’s where we were. We had such a great time!

Delightful duplex, right across from beach
This property was very clean and well decorated. The furniture was nice and the beach toys provided were plentiful. We enjoyed the screened in porch upstairs and the firepit area downstairs. It is an ideal property for a larger group that would rent both units. The owner is very responsive and conveys a real desire for you to have everything needed to enjoy your stay.

Fantastic property
We spent 10 days in Indian Rocks Beach and loved every minute of it. The property was so nice that we ended up canceling some of our plans to do overnight outings to other places because we were so happy where we were. Mia (the property manager) was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions we had. We are hoping to come back next year!!!

Corona Era
Unfortunately, we arrived just as the COVID-19 virus hit. So we were unable to explore the area and enjoy all that it appears to offer. That said, the weather was perfect and we spent our time alternating between the screened in porch, the sunny backyard, and the under house patio area (great breezes). Since we couldn't eat out, we made great usage of the grills and kitchen. Would like to give this another shot - without the virus!
