Perfect location! We were in St. Pete to attend the World Series. Couldn’t have asked for a better location with fabulous amenities. Sharon was a great host - we will definitely look to stay here on our next trip to DTSP!

It was a wonderful trip to Indian Rocks and are thankful we were able to stay in this great beach house. We love IRB and visit the Tampa Bay Area often. This house is superb! The photos are very accurate to what you will find, but they do not do the house justice. The home is even better than what you see in the photos and description. The interior decorations are very Florida! The vintage beach decor was so personalized to the area; this was so fun to see. We felt as though we were guests in someone’s home rather than renting from a vacation agency. The space is great and everything is well prepared for guests, including a box of tissues, and a few other little essentials. We greatly enjoyed sitting outside at the patio table. And the breaches in this area are the best. This is a great place to stay, and we would definitely like to be guests again.

We had a wonderful weekend stay with my father and brother. Sharon was friendly and responsive, and check-in and checkout were easy. The place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location, close to the pier. The parking was convenient. Highly recommend, and we’d love to stay again!

Beautiful place, great location to enjoy all St. Pete offers. Highly recommended for access to downtown, restaurants, museums. Walk or take nearby public transit to Pier, beach, and more! Easy nearby parking too. All the little extras are provided in this apartment that is thoughtfully decorated and furnished.
