About this property

Updated Home, Steps To White Sand Beaches Of IRB - BTR#1687

Our home is a labor of love! We fully updated the entire property, the most recent renovation occurring in 2018, with quality finishes and modern stainless steel appliances. Brand-new, beautiful floors throughout the home including cozy carpet in the bedrooms. Our home has a very easy, open floor plan to include the fully stocked kitchen, dining room, and relaxing living room which is perfect for family vacations. The master bedroom, which has a full bath attached, includes a queen bed. The tranquil guest room also has a queen bed and a shared full bathroom with a tub is directly across from the bedroom. The 3rd bedroom is equipped with a home office setup and also has fold down double futon. The carport area, which is attached to the open concept dining/kitchen/living area, has been converted into a covered relaxing outdoor space with two hammock chairs and a full outdoor dining set where meals are thoroughly enjoyed. A deck connects to carport and wraps around home to the backyard where you will find a large deck area equipped with patio furniture and umbrella. The fully fenced in yard contains a large grass area (perfect for our furry friends) as well and a hammock for relaxing with a book. Although it's easy to stay put and enjoy the house, just steps from the house you will find the beautiful beach of Indian Rocks Beach. Hardly ever crowded, take as much or as little space as you need. Our home is stocked with all that you will need to enjoy the beach including beach chairs, beach towels and blanket, rafts, bocce ball, snorkeling sets, a cooler, beach cart, and beach toys. Just around the corner within walking distance, you will find local bars, restaurants and shopping. Also within walking distance is ice cream and local convenience store that carries everything you need. A surf shop and bike shop are just 2 blocks away for your outdoor rental needs.

Monthly rates available, please ask.

Outstanding Vacation Pick

I can’t imagine another property living up to the standards this one has set. The neighborhood is so quaint, the walk to the beach is so easy, and the home is so spacious and stocked with so many convenient amenities - they’ve really thought of everything! The owners are so responsive and friendly. I hope to find that this home is available for our stay every summer.

Great Stay in Indian Rocks

We had a great stay at Jason's house in Indian Rocks Beach. House is exactly has pictured. Communication with Jason great. It is a quick, half block walk to the beach and within walking distance to many restaurants. Going in the opposite direction, the house is located in a beautiful neighborhood. Kitchen was well stocked. The only thing missing was a large fry/saute pan with an accompanying cover. Fashioned a cover out of foil which worked just fine. We really enjoyed sitting out on the covered patio playing games and relaxing. Thank you for a great stay!

Cozy paradise

The home was nicely decorated and as advertised. Pillows & bedding were of nice quality, that matters. So close to beach, very easy quick walk. Plenty of beach towels, toys and chairs. House was well equipped as well. The host was very prompt to reply with all questions answered. Very nice to deal with, that also matters. We definitely plan on returning!! Since you must leave the fridge empty upon departure, I called locally and found a lady that picks up all your food, perishable, non perishable and freezer items. I found this to be useful rather than wasteful. You will totaled enjoy this home :)

Fantastic stay in IRB!

This home was the perfect fit for us. The location is such that I could leave the "remote office" and be on the beach within 5 mins. Daily walks through the neighborhood were also very enjoyable. The fenced yard was ideal for our dogs who spent time roaming the back yard and then lounging under the converted carport. Jason and Jill have thought of nearly everything including a full complement of beach equipment, a RO water filtration system, and furniture which was extremely comfortable. Overall, we could not have envisioned a better place to stay for a month. We surely hope to return soon.

Best choice of the whole trip

This home is close to everything. A few houses from the beach, 4 blocks from the best Cubans ever (kooky coconut), super close to Crabby Bills (seafood was amazing as well as the steak...the killer garlic sauce is fantastic and gator was the best I've ever had), cvs as well as a souvenir shop are a mile or less. The house is super clean and comfy. The only 2 issues we had was a weak spot on the back deck which the owner said he would have looked at and the fridge has to be closed just right or it doesn't close all the way. Otherwise the home is a dream. Also, the little lizards were funny to watch running around.

Perfect beach house with everything you could need

This house was perfect! It was very clean and much more spacious than I expected. It is a quick walk across the street to the beach and this house has anything you could possibly want to take to the beach. The owner has even put together a binder with information on local activities and restaurants. The owner was great about communicating and responded quickly to any questions. Highly recommend this property.

Absolutely Stunning

This house is perfect for anyone who likes a quite relaxing vacation. The owners are the most organized and their home met all of our needs and then some. We loved the fact we could get up early and was walking distance from the beach. The house is very clean and I loved being able to cook when we just wanted to relax after the beach and not have to go get take out or go to a restaurant. There are plenty of options for local restaurants, stores very close by .We even enjoyed going to Clearwater and took a walk on pier 60 and we got to walk around and visit the local shops. Frenchys restaurant on the beach has the most amazing grouper sandwiches and their famous crab fries. The only issues we had was when it rained (which was a few days) the back yard flooded up to the back porch so we didn’t get to really utilize that area with the grill. Also in the front under the patio is the laundry room which I did have to run a clean cycle a couple of times on the washer from a moldy smell. I think it’s just where it’s outside and there isn’t a window to allow air flow and it’s very humid there as well. The last issue was the refrigerators water & ice maker was broken. I brought these up to the owner and he was very understanding and was super nice. There are definitely way more positives. We loved the front patio with the hammocks and the beautiful table. We were surprised at how much they have for you to use for the beach. They had a wagon that we used every day and was so helpful to carry our cooler, chairs and canopy. There are several beach toys, chairs, and additional beach towels. The beds are absolutely comfortable. This home was absolutely perfect and we would 100% recommend and would book again.

We really enjoyed staying at this beach house. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It is pet friendly with the fenced in yard. It was nice to sit outside on the covered patio with the ceiling fan. The laundry room is located outside by the table and chairs and a great place to store all the beach gear. It was just a short walk to the beach, food mart, restaurants, coffee shop, and ice cream shop. We highly recommend this house and would definitely rent it again.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Arnold

Jason and Jill moved to IRB from the Washington, DC area in 2006 to escape to the sunshine and beaches of Florida. They found a beach fixer-upper and put a lot of work and heart into their home. The entire property was fully renovated and built for entertaining, as they love to have guests out at the beach. Jill is from Annapolis, MD and graduated from Virginia Tech. Jason grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated from University of Maryland. Avid travelers, they love to visit new places around the world and become as much of a part of the locals as possible. They currently reside in Wilmington, NC.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home because we absolutely love the town of Indian Rocks Beach. You can't beat the beautiful beaches and small town feel. But Tampa is just down the road and has everything you need from a big city; NFL, NHL, MLB, amusement parks, water parks, zoo, concerts, shows, etc. The property itself is super close to the beach ( just across the street), located on a beautiful and quite street, with a huge fenced in yard. The carport was converted to a tropical hang out area, completely with hanging hammock chairs, where it's easy to spend most of your time.

What makes this property unique

Our home is fully updated and very comfortable. It was built and designed to host family and friends at the beach. It has an open floor plan that lends perfectly to a vacation at the beach.
