Waterfront IRB Home | Private Heated Pool + Dock | Sleeps 10 + Small Dogs
ISLAND TIME DOCK OF THE BAY | WATERFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE HEATED POOL & DOCK
Welcome to Dock of the Bay, your own private waterfront retreat in Indian Rocks Beach. Wake up to beautiful open-water views, spend the afternoon floating in your private heated pool, fish from your own dock, and end the day relaxing outside as the sun goes down over the water. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and accommodations for up to 10 guests, this spacious home gives families and groups the privacy of a single-family home while keeping you close to the beach, restaurants and everything Indian Rocks Beach has to offer. Bringing your four-legged family member? Small dogs are welcome with a pet deposit, so they don't have to miss out on the beach vacation.
YOUR OWN PRIVATE WATERFRONT RETREAT The backyard is what makes Dock of the Bay special. Step outside to your private heated swimming pool overlooking the water, with plenty of space to relax, dine and enjoy the Florida sunshine. Head down to the private dock to fish, watch the boats cruise by or simply take in the view. Keep an eye on the water—you may even spot dolphins or manatees passing behind the house. Morning coffee by the water is highly recommended.
SPACIOUS & COMFORTABLE Inside, you'll find a bright, comfortable home designed for an easy beach vacation. The open living spaces give everyone room to spread out while still making it easy to spend time together. The fully equipped kitchen makes breakfast at home, family dinners and evening cocktails easy, while the waterfront setting reminds you exactly why you came to Florida. With 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, there's plenty of room for families, couples traveling together or a multigenerational getaway.
PRIVATE HEATED POOL + PRIVATE DOCK No crowded hotel or condo pool here. Your group gets the private heated pool, dock and waterfront backyard all to yourselves. Spend the afternoon swimming, relax by the water, enjoy dinner outside or walk down to the dock and cast a line. It's the kind of setup that makes it very easy to spend an entire day at the house—and never feel like you're missing out on vacation.
CLOSE TO THE BEACH & EVERYTHING IRB When you're ready for the sand, the beautiful beaches of Indian Rocks Beach are just minutes away. Spend the day along the Gulf of Mexico, then come home to your own pool and waterfront retreat. You'll also be close to the local restaurants, beach bars, shops and attractions that make Indian Rocks Beach one of the area's favorite beach towns. And because you're staying on the Intracoastal side of the island, you get something most traditional beach condos can't offer: your own private home, heated pool, dock and waterfront backyard.
WHY GUESTS LOVE DOCK OF THE BAY • Private waterfront single-family home • Private heated swimming pool • Private dock • Beautiful open-water views • 3 bedrooms • 3 full bathrooms • Sleeps up to 10 guests • Small dogs welcome with pet deposit • Fishing right from the property • Spacious outdoor living area • Chance to spot dolphins and manatees from the backyard • Close to Indian Rocks Beach, restaurants and local attractions • Ideal for families and groups traveling together
Whether you're starting the morning with coffee by the water, spending the afternoon in the pool, fishing from the dock or winding down after a day at the beach, Dock of the Bay gives you the best of both sides of Indian Rocks Beach—the Gulf nearby and your own private waterfront escape right outside the back door. Make Dock of the Bay your home away from home and experience Indian Rocks Beach from the water. BTR #1715
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE REGARDING HEATED POOL: Pool heaters only function while the pool pump is running. The pool pump typically runs 8 to 10 hours per day. When temperatures consistently stay below 65 degrees during the day and colder at night, it is not likely that the pool will achieve desired heated temperatures of 82 to 84 degrees. On the rare occasion our temperatures dip into the 40's, the pool heater will not be able to function adequately so will not be turned on.
*This property has a charge of $35/per day to increase the temperature of the pool over 84 degrees.

A very nice stay. Property was as advertised. Location was quiet and very convenient for getting to the beach and local eateries. Clean and comfortable. The property manager were excellent and went above and beyond in providing customer service. We would stay here again in the future.
We had a enjoyable stay in Indian Rocks! The house was clean and the property Manager, Taylor, was very responsive to minor concerns during our stay. It would be great if there were more or updated cooking utensils. Otherwise, I would recommend this property.
We had a fabulous stay in March for Spring Break. The house was just like described and had everything we needed including plenty of beach towels and chairs. The beach was just a short ride away and was so beautiful. Tons of local restaurants made dining out fun and delicious. The house also had a great kitchen that made eating in a breeze. Taylor from Seaside Property was great at answering questions and always quick to respond. Overall it was a great week and we would definitely go back!!
Amazing! We enjoyed the property and the area. The management company was the best we have ever encountered and they went above and beyond to help make our trip memorable. We would highly recomend The Seaside Property Shoppe (property mgmy company)--they know the area, they worked hard to deal with variables, and they were creative with solutions and options. I will strive to use them again based on this eperience. Property was clean and stunning! No negatives to report at all! Worth every penny we spent and more!

Our family had a great vacation in this house. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The decor and furniture is very tasteful and of a high standard. We found the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The outside area, including the pool, was also very well maintained. Sharon the manager was exceptional and professional, and provided excellent customer service. We would have no hesitation in using The Seaside Property Shoppe again and I would highly recommend the property to anybody wishing to stay in that area.

Needs Some Work
Arrived to dirty living areas and a dirty pool. Management company sent another cleaner in on Sunday which we appreciated. Pool remained dirty until the pool repair company came on Thursday afternoon to replace the filter after stating “ that’s pretty dirty”. We realize this is not the fault of the property management company but still disappointing because we did not feel comfortable swimming in the pool after finding and using pool test strips under the kitchen sink. I did end up paying for a night at a nice hotel so we could enjoy swimming in clean pools for 2 days. The patio table is extremely cheap and missing a chair. It only rained once the week we were there but also rained in the house due to two separate areas in the ceiling that have water damage and have not been repaired. This lead to water streaming down from the ceiling onto the floor (I have video). The house is not well maintained by the owners (weeds and landscape included). The Nest alarm went off one evening upon entry, extremely loud, would not shut off. We were not ever given a solution for this other than to unplug it (didn’t help), wrap it in towels and place it in the garage in a cooler until it died. Pros: the house is well laid out, the master bedroom shower is fantastic, the location is good, the view is beautiful and the beach is pretty. The management company is also responsive in a timely manner. We made the best of it because we were all together.

Reviewer Comments:
The house and view were beautiful! We vacationed with our extended family including my elderly father. The reclining furniture was so convenient for him as his mobility is limited. The dock was great for fishing. We lost count of how many fish we caught. So fun! The layout is great for large groups with several areas to gather. The back area was perfect for morning coffee. The pool is perfect also for evening swims. I was a little worried about not being on the Gulf but, honestly, this view was exceptional. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were updated and beautiful. A few small suggestions: there were only bedside lamps in the master suite. It would be nice to have bedside lamps in all 3 rooms. Also some hooks on the back of the bathroom doors and more towel racks would also be great. Other than that, the property was perfect! We would definitely return and surely hope we can!

Reviewer Comments:
The home was very clean on arrival. There were plenty of pool towels to use at the pool. We appreciated the beach chairs and wagon to use on the beach! The pool was clean and we enjoyed fishing off the dock! The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing! We had 7 adults. The only comment I will make as a heads up for an adult guest is the queen mattress that was on the pullout couch was extremely uncomfortable. I would deem it pretty much unusable. As a result we had two 6 foot 3 people trying to sleep in two double beds. Not ideal. Overall though, a wonderful vacation home. The management company was VERY prompt and responsive. In 20 years of renting homes, they had the best response time.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was overall great! One complaint is they guaranteed the pool to be heated to 80 (which I think was the agreed temp) however the homeowner turned the heat on at noon day of arrival. It took 3 days to heat up so unfortunately we weren’t able to use the pool as much as we intended with the kids. Location is very quiet so glad we rented a car and traveled to beaches, restaurants etc! Our family likes entertainment so we just had to go find the happenings. It is a beautiful view to enjoy your morning coffee & or evening night cap. Husband and kids fished off the dock. All in All our family loves FL so we enjoyed our week in October!
House was very nice and very clean. We had a relaxing stay and found it convenient to restaurants and stores. Property Manager was very attentive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.
The house was the perfect size for our family of four. The house and pool were clean and ready for us when we arrived. The pool is great for adults to dip and cool off but small for older children to play in. My family enjoyed fishing off the dock but did not swim in the cove, we went to the beach to swim in the ocean.Our only recommendation for improvement would be kitchen supplies. The knives in the knife block are all dull and made it difficult to cut vegetables and prepare meats. There were limited serving dishes and utensils for making meals at home. Overall the house was wonderful, the weather was great and we had a really nice time.
We enjoyed our week. Communication and attention to detail was great. Would recommend this home to anyone who wants a private pool, great views and close to amenities.
We had three adults and two children. The house was very serviceable and the neighborhood seemed ok. It was near to clearwater beaches and assessable to restaurants and walking. The pool was a bit small and the patios could use a little landscaping but all in all would recommend.
To me everything was good except for that master bathroom third world country bed it was horrible old and it the not match the beautiful property itself it was lots horrible I came home with my back twisted even that bed frame or base is super old broken from underneath te rest was amazing
The house was perfect! It had everything we needed, it was clean and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The layout of the house and bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our 20 year old sons and their wife and fiance. We had a lot of together time, along with space to get away. Mornings drinking coffee, visiting and watching dolphins was especially memorable. Thank you for a perfect stay! The beach and the sunsets were beautiful too!
Our family decided to take a trip for Christmas instead of giving gifts, we selected this VRBO property for it's layout, pool and water view. The property layout was ideal for our family - 3 bedroom, 3 bath with a nice central gathering area. Thank you.
