All of the homeowners have guest books available for their visitors to write in, and these are the comments that visitors have shared with them over the years. Please keep in mind that not all guests choose to write a review; this is why some homes may have more reviews than others (or there are large gaps between review dates). In addition, many guests return year-after-year and don't write a new review each time they visit.

Jan-March 2020 - We were happy to be backto IRB for winter 2020. Love the community, the beach and the wonderful friends we have made over the years.

As always, Rox & Brian were very helpful and we look forward to returning in 2021. Ken & Connie & Gracie.

04/2014 - "It is our last night here in your lovely home. The month has passed by so quickly. We've enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and of course the beautiful community of Indian Rocks Beach. The weather was almost perfect with the exception of one or two days of rain...which was a great reprieve from the sunshine & beach. We went to the beach very often and enjoyed the pool in the evenings after dinner. We loved having your privat house... a nice change from a high-rise condo. A lot of evenings were spent out in your backyard listening to music or just chatting. Your house was very comfortable and I would definitly recommend it to anyone who asks. It was also a nice touch to have things on hand like salt, pepper, tin foil, spices, etc. Your kitchen is well equiped for cooking. We enjoyed many meals at your patio table. A wonderful holiday! Especially when our Canadian winter has been so brutal. I guess it is back to the great white north tomorrow. With any luck - the snow will be gone!! Thanks again - Peggy & Jim - Prince Edward Island, Canada & Cindy & Wayne - Nova Scotia, Canada
-03/2014 - We have been coming to Indian Rocks Beach for the past 15 years to take in baseball spring training; this was the first time we have stayed for a full month. After 14 years at a condo, we were thrilled to find your house. We love IRB and your home gave us everything we were looking for in accommodations. The pool was a bonusalbeit the weather was not always condusive to taking advantage of all the toys. Cannot say enough about the efforts of Rox, Brian & Tyler. They dealt with a couple early issues immediately and were prompt in responding to every question or concern. You are very fortunate to have such pros looking after your investment property. Would love to return in a future March and look forward to sharing your piece of paradise again. Bill, Jim & Larry - Ontario, Canada

- “Hello Mike & Regina - We’ve had a great time and great weather at your Indian Rocks Beach house this month! It is a very cute and clean place, a pleasure after some of our past rentals.We enjoyed our morning bike rides and walks on the beach. Had many picnics at the beach too. Played lots of golf in the area as well. Our daughter & family live in Seminole and we spent a lot of time visiting there. A bit of a drive but it worked out fine. Our month passed by very fast! Your neighbors are very pleasant and friendly - a nice area! A couple more days with the family and we’ll be heading back to Mass - Cape Cod. Hopefully to be back next year. If you ever come to Cape Cod, look us up. We’ve left our brochure here. Thanks again, Charlie & Eileen” - (Private Paradise - February 2011)
