Beautiful house and pool area

House is wonderful. Outside area wonderful. Pull out couches extremely uncomfortable!!! So really only sleep 6-8 adults. 3 bedrooms. Parking is sparse only 2 cars in the driveway and no street parking so be aware!! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the pool area hours and hours each day!!

The premises were a bit outdated. Lots of rust and mold in outdoor furniture.

Sleeper sofas were horrible. Outdoor space was tiny. This house is not close to a beach like advertised. They only gave two garbage bags and two rolls of toilet paper. For $3,000, I would expect more of both. This was not a good value at all. We will not be coming back.

Great location…..but in need of updates and declutter.

Amazing location, property mgmt. was very nice and responsive the day of check in. The bad….. all the beds are sunken in and in dire need of replacement. While there was a lot of things to use, which was AMAZING, the bikes need new chains, only 1 of the 4 semi-worked, the canopy is not useable, umbrellas need to be thrown away. Outdoor furniture is no where near as pictured and living room couch is beyond uncomfortable and makes noises when you sit down.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The experience was good. The agent assigned from Beach Time Rentals was responsive and resolved our issues. We paid the for pool heat for our stay. When we arrived it was cold out and we we not aware the pool heat was turned off. We did call after two days and the agent sent out maintenance to turn on the breaker. We requested a refund for 2 days for the pool heat, which Beach Time agreed to give us. Our assigned agent helped us retrieve property we left behind after checking out. Much appreciated.

Great Place to stay for a multi generation family getaway!

Our group of 10 aged in range from 2 to 62. There was something for everyone nearby. The Park, including basketball court and tennis courts, the beaches and I can't forget the pool on the property. The wagon to haul the provided beach chairs in was a back saver. If you are looking for a nice clean beach that is family oriented and not over crowded, Indian Rocks Beach is the perfect place to go. Traveling with grandchildren, we did not want a beach boardwalk with bars and shops lining the beach. Indian Rocks did not have that which was perfect for us but wouldn't be if you are looking for a partying community.. If we wanted something it wasn't far to walk to, but it wasn't a temptation right on the beach for the kiddos to want to go to. The house itself was great as well. Large kitchen with all the things needed to make family sized breakfast and dinners so we didnt have to go out to eat all the time. The property manager provided information on local amenities which was extremely helpful. If we have the opportunity to visit the Tampa area again, we would definitely stay at Beach Time Rentals property.

Ok place.

Pros: -The location of this house is in a quiet neighborhood just off the main road which we liked. -Good communication with the property manager. -Had beach chairs, carts, and toys in the garage to use. -Propane grill to use. Cons: -The pictures in the listing make the house appear larger that it really is. -The pool is very small and you have to pay extra per day to heat it. -The floors appeared clean at first glance but were very dirty. After walking barefoot the bottoms of feet would turn black quickly. Most likely the cleaning crew mopped, however they just let the dirty waiter sit on the tile without trying to pick it up once the mop made the dirt loose. -Furniture was a little uncomfortable and appeared a little dingy from use. -Several tv remotes had dead batteries.

We had to buy toilet paper(there were only 2 rolls when we arrived).*We had to fill the propane tank. There was not enough to grill even one meal.Overall, we had a great time!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was fine & in a great location with everything we needed but slightly shabby throughout. Fixtures & fittings need updating. Garage was cluttered, three bikes & a tricycle all unusable. Pool area needed a clean/power-wash with damaged pool toys left behind. Also not enough seating.for all guests around the pool. Garden area was overgrown with grass not having been cut prior to our arrival or whilst we were there.

Cleanliness should be top priority

To start with, the manager let us in three hours early without charge She was pleasant and accommodating before we arrived. Now for the not so good: The outside front could use some yard work but the inside was clean and as described. The pool deck and pool were in clutter and disarray when we arrived. The deck was filthy with grime all over and the pool had a grimy yellow ring at water level. The master bedroom toilet kept running after flushing. I could manually stop it but it did cause a lot of wasted water use. I let the manager and the pool cleaning guy know but nothing was done to correct during my week stay. When I told the pool guy about the filthy condition of the pool he said this isn’t the Ritz and it’s not his responsibility. I explained to him that cleanliness has nothing to do with wealth. It was obvious what I had to say fell on deaf ears. The pool company did come and fix a leak at the pump that we didn’t have any idea about. Unfortunately, Beach Time Rentals poor cleaning and lack of response or action on the issues reflects on VRBO and we will be less likely in using the service in the future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome but could be better - inside the house was great but the outdoor furniture was/is in terrible condition and needs lots of yard work and exterior cleaning. When we arrived (Sat 4/16/22) there was a pile of garbage on the side of the driveway and all the bins were overflowing - broken toys, discarded coffee maker, huge amount of bubble wrap, and wet garbage. Since this was Easter weekend nothing could be done to remove the garbage. On Monday I placed all the garbage at the curb but was concerned that it wouldn't be picked-up so I contacted the management company and they must have sent somebody over to remove the excess garbage - the management company was very responsive and apologetic - they were great to work with. Not sure if I would rent this house again as the owner needs to replace the outside furniture and cleanup the landscaping and remove all the broken stuff from the garage. Such an awesome location and potentially an awesome house, but......
