About the host: In 2006 Max and Rita were on business in Indian Rocks Beach and fell in love with the sand, sun, and family-friendly vacation community of Indian Rocks Beach. On a chance drive down Gulf Boulevard, they stumbled onto what would later become their first property in IRB.
Fast forward to 2022 and they have become full-time residents and own 6 properties in IRB, hosting families from across the world, and sharing their little slice of paradise all year long. Short-term and seasonal rentals are available and they invite you to experience the ambiance, community, and the people that made them trade in their New Jersey winters for the beach life that can only be found in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.

Great little house.

We (2 girls) rented this for a week. The house was well equipped. It was spotlessly clean. It was about 3 blocks from the beach. There are beach chairs, umbrella and a cart to bring to the beach. The bathroom light is actually bright, yay! I would definitely stay again. There is a screened in porch to the back yard, it was great for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The washer and dryer are new. I did message owner about a couple of things that need to be repaired (bedroom light and TV).
