About the host: I fell in love with Indian Rocks Beach years ago after a family stay. After living in the mountain west (UT & CO) for 15 years I traded the mountains for the beaches. I'm blessed to have the opportunity to create amazing stays for beach visitors. Living nearby, I provide unparalleled support from easy check-in to wonderful suggestions on food, activities and more from a locals perspective.
Why this property? Bahia Paradise is the perfect destination for your family, group of friends or girls weekend. With a heated saltwater pool, waterfront with kayaks, dolphin viewing from the pool and a house made for relaxing, you will enjoy the classic beach vacation without all the stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time is check-in and check-out? And do you allow early/late check-in/out?
Check-in is 4:00pm and Check-out is 10:00am. I do my best to allow early and late arrival/checkout where possible. If you would like to arrive early or depart late, I ask that you notify early so I can confirm.
How close is the beach?
The beach is an 8min walk from the door. All neighborhood streets and a lighted cross-walk on Gulf Blvd. Most families and groups use my complimentary golf cart which makes carrying beach gear and people easier.
Do you provide beach and pool toys?
Great question! I have a full storage locker full of beach and pool toys. Several beach chairs are provided along with a cooler.

Matthew as a host was fantastic! Great communication throughout the stay and made sure we were well situated and had no issues. The house was a PERFECT location for fishing, kayaking, walking distance from the beach. It was a perfect trip and will definitely stay again!

Not only was the setting beautiful, serene and comfortable… but the amenities were perfect! The home is spacious and accommodating!We especially loved the ease of the golf cart in getting around town quickly and easily… but also the pool and beach supplies were unexpected. We didn’t need to bring a thing other than suitcases and some groceries.Be sure to keep an eye out for the porpoises and other aquatic life. You never know what you might see, unexpectedly jumping around in the water.We had the best week with family and plan to visit again soon!we loved it!

Thanks Kendra!! It was so wonderful to meet you all and so happy Bahia Paradise made your family vacation so memorable. Looking forward to seeing you again next year :) Matthew
Matt’s house was perfect for my friends bachelorette party! There was ample space, and it was great that there were 4 bathrooms. The house was spotless and we made excellent use of the pool and golf cart. Matt was also very responsive to any questions we had. As a bonus we also saw manatees and dolphins from the dock! Would definitely stay here again!

Great location for a family get together. The golf cart was a big help to get around in. Pool was a great alternative to the crowded beach with 2 little ones. Blackstone grill was a bonus and Matthew was very accommodating to our needs.

This was an absolute perfect vacation!! The Bahia Paradise was perfectly suited for our group of 8 and Matthew was an absolutely amazing host. Very responsive and always there to help with anything. We enjoyed some great dinners, swimming in the pool, hanging out on the dock and saw dolphins swim right by us. Having the golf cart to putter around in was a nice addition. The beach is so close as well so we spent a day there and went to Kooky coconut. Can’t say enough about the location and just overall great trip and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Matthew’s place is perfect for groups! It is bright and spacious and functional. The pool gets sun all day long and the dolphin visits at the dock are a delightful addition. Steps to the beautiful sandy beach and a short walk to the busy bars. We loved our stay and would not hesitate for a second to stay there again. Matthew is also a super host. He’s friendly and attentive and makes your enjoyment his priority.

11/10 stars per my kids, grown ups agreed (especially with the new expresso maker addition). Golf cart was fun to cruise around in, great pool, tons of towels and anything you would need for a nice escape. Highly recommended, Matthew was great and responsive to any questions we had. Layout of the place was great too, with open common areas but privacy and bathrooms in every BR. We loved our stay!

Christmas Vacation
I don't even know where to start! This location is AMAZING! We had 5 adults and 2 children and there was more then enough space for us all to completely enjoy ourselves! We fished and swam in the pool daily! We also cruised around in the golfcart which was very convenient and easy. Matthew (The owner) was OUTSTANDING! Very attentive! Kind, courteous, understanding and more then accommodating and determinded to make our stay the best it could be! (I can't thank him enough for all of the extra attention he gave us!) He even purchased a Christmas Tree for us so that the grandkids could throughly enjoy the Christmas holiday and be sure Santa could find us in Florida! The kitchen had ALL of the amenities we needed and we made good use of the blackstone flat top outside! (I've always wanted to try one !) We made pancakes to hot dogs to burgers to steaks on it and it all was amazing! I hope that we can make it back one day!

Thank you so much Frankie!! It was a delight to meet you and your family. So glad everyone had such an enjoyable stay :)
Matthew is wonderful and his house is great! Perfect size for our group of 6...and there was plenty of room to spare. The house was just as described and was the perfect location to relax by the water with a beautiful view. Dolphins swam by daily and were a joy to see. The house was in perfect walking distance to the beach and Matthew provided more than ample items to enjoy at the beach. The pool was wonderful and there were many floats provided to enjoy lounging. It was wonderful to be able to take the kayak up the canal and enjoy the scenery. And the use of the golf cart came in very handy to run up town for supplies and to dinner every evening. We could not have asked for a more perfect place for our family to relax and spend time together. We definitely plan to stay again in the future.

Thanks Nina! So happy to host you and your friends for an unforgettable weekend :)
We felt right at home with this property and Matthew was absolutely incredible to work with from beginning to end. The golf cart was a perfect addition to our adventures around IRB. You will not be disappointed with this home; it will exceed your expectations in every way.

Amazing host and house! Our original house was damaged by the recent hurricane and rather than cancel our reservation, Matthew offered us to stay at this house. He even had the pool ready with themed bachelorette floaties. He was also incredibly responsive. Would absolutely recommend Matthew and this home. Best part was paddle boarding the canal each morning with the dolphins. 10/10. Cheers!

Great location in Indian Rock. Walking distance to a great beach or just simply enjoy the pool over looking the inshore waterway. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 children under 3. Communication with the owner was incredible and so was the hospitality. Our time together as a family could not have been better and having a place for all of us to stay made it that much more special. Everything we needed and more was available for our stay. Thank you Matthew!

My family and I had celebrated my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. We Had 3 families, 3 kids and lots to do. Was a perfect home for managing younger children’s nap times while managing older kids pool time and fun outside. We were able to fish off the dock as well!The home is only a couple blocks from the beach and plenty of options for restaurants along Gulf Blvd.Mathew was wonderful at communication and flexible with our requested needs. We are appreciative!

Outstanding location with a six person golf cart to travel all around IRB. The swimming pool is heated and the dock has decent fishing. Sheepshead, Red red drum, snapper and catfish. Matthew was an amazing host, always quick to respond. The house is loaded with all the amenities you need and our family plus two set of in-laws never felt “snug” in the space. I highly recommend this listing and will be back again. Thanks for a wonderful vacation where moments became memories.
