Beach Retreat II
The two bedroom was beautiful, well appointed and great location. I enjoyed everything about it even the comfy bed which never happens when traveling. Thank you so much and will return for another great beach getaway.

No detail has been spared in this newly remodeled, state of the art 2 bedroom, 1 bath, large private deck ground floor ‘beach retreat’ villa right across the street from the Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful shores of Indian Rocks Beach. Very efficient and spacious feeling 760 sq. ft. condo with additional 250 sq. ft. of outdoor living space.

We enjoyed our stay. Short walk to the beach.The area is away from noisy sites but has all you need in walking distance.The Apartment is well equipped with attention to small details. We like the beachchairs😄 and breakfast on the patio.Excellent price/value. We consider to come back.
First impression upon arrival very impressed with location apartment very clean & equipped for a very comfortable stay a short stroll to beach , local restaurants ect ect just great
Will definitely visit here again!! Thanks so much Beth!
we could not have asked for anything better. the property was very clean and comfortable. we had local family visit us while we were there and they all wanted the information to recommend this property to other relatives and friends. love the shell counter tops! beautiful place. when we walked in on the first night our son said "this place is awesome"
This place exceeded my expectations. It was clean, comfy and included just about anything a vacationer would need including beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels, washer/dryer, pots/pans, etc.. the list goes on. The place isn't big but with the open deck out back, it provides plenty of space for 6 guests to dine, live and relax. No detail was spared here, neither was the quality. The walk to the beach is literally 5 minutes or less, with an amazing food shack on the path to. My husband is already talking about renting this place again!
My family and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome. The condo is extremely clean and updated. The owners are very friendly and answered all questions and one request very promptly. Very short walk to the 8th Avenue public access. Would definitely recommend and stay here in the future.
Perfect place it was a pleasure close to the beach everything you need. Beach was great everything needed was within walking distance usually stay at hotel when visiting family this was a great experience. Next I look forward to my next trip Thank you
From the minute I spoke with the owner, Beth she was a pleasure! She responded to every email so quickly and was more than willing to accommodate our every need! First, she allowed us to stay only 3 nights (Thurs-Sun) as this was an annual Girl's Trip and I believe most places have minimum night stays, especially during this time. Second, we wanted to surprise one of our friends with a mini-bachelorette day so we had a box of goodies shipped down the week prior. Beth was just as excited as we were and placed the box in the room for us prior to our arrival! The condo is absolutely beautiful, clean and everything you could want on your vacation! My friends were so shocked at how nice it was!! It is completely updated and no detail was missed. All of the towels, linens and beach towels are very nice/comfortable! Having a washer/dryer was also very nice. You don't find many places with two king size beds and they are extremely comfy too! Anything you need for the beach is also provided. She provides Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach towels and a nice size cooler! The beach chairs are especially nice as they have shoulder straps for easy carrying! The beach was so much closer than I thought it would be (at most a 5 min walk)! We felt like we were on a private beach and loved every minute of it! The water is so clear and beautiful and we loved talking with the locals! Kooky Coconut was our favorite lunch spot (a 3 min. walk from the condo) and enjoyed ending our nights at 18 on the Rocks up the road! As you can see from my review I have nothing but amazing things to say and will 100% be back!! All of my girlfriends agreed they would be back and would be contacting Beth! 🙂
Very nice place to stay! Units were just as pictured and fully stocked with the necessities for the beach. Very clean, too. Very easy to get to beach and within walking distance to many local attractions and businesses. Owners were very responsive, polite and helpful through all stages of inquiry, booking and the entire stay. We would definitely stay here again.
