This home sleeps up to 18 guests and offers a rare combination of size, privacy, and outdoor living. Inside, you’ll find a spacious great room, a huge fully stocked kitchen, high ceilings, and multiple gathering spaces designed for relaxing, dining, and spending time together.

The actual temperature of the pool water will be dependent on weather conditions which will significantly impact the effectiveness of the pool heater.

Things to Do Nearby:
One of the best parts of staying here is how easy it is to mix beach time with everything else. You’re just minutes from the sand, close to local restaurants and bars, and near a great mix of family-friendly activities, outdoor spots, and low-key local favorites. Spend the morning at the beach, grab lunch nearby, play pickleball at Kolb Park, take the kids to Splash Harbour Water Park, or head out for a sunset walk. If your group likes to stay busy, this location makes it easy.
Sun & sand:
Indian Rocks Beach is about a mile away so beach mornings and sunset walks can be part of your everyday routine. You’re also close to 5th Street beach access, Clearwater Beach, and Caladesi Island State Park if you want to explore beyond your closest stretch of sand.
Restaurants & bars:
You’re close to a great mix of casual beach-town favorites and a couple of nicer dinner options, so it’s easy to go from fish tacos and cold drinks to a more polished night out. For relaxed post-beach meals, nearby favorites include P.J.’s Oyster Bar, Jake’s Coastal Cantina, The Original Crabby Bill’s, Keegan’s Seafood Grille, and Hurricane Eddie’s, all of which appear to be currently operating. For a more upscale dinner, Guppy’s on the Beach, Salt Rock and Villa Gallace are good nearby options.
Parks, pickleball, and outdoor fun:
Beyond the beach, the area has a lot to offer for active groups and families. Kolb Park is a great nearby option for pickleball, tennis, basketball, and playground time. The Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve is a nice change of pace if you want a quiet walk through mangroves and along the boardwalk, and Largo Central Park and other nearby green spaces are great for getting outside without making a day of it.
Family attractions:
Splash Harbour Water Park is a fun nearby outing for kids and adults alike, especially on days when you want a break from the beach but still want something easy and vacation-friendly. You’re also within reach of Pier 60, the Florida Botanical Gardens, the Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center, and Busch Gardens if your group wants to branch out for a bigger day trip.
Nature and wildlife:
If your group enjoys wildlife and the outdoors, there are several good options nearby for birdwatching, nature walks, and getting on the water. The Indian Rocks Beach area is known for its parks, preserves, and easy access to boating, kayaking, and dolphin-watching excursions.
Golf and spring training:
Golfers have several courses nearby, including Largo Golf Course, East Bay Golf Club, Cove Cay, and Mainlands. In season, Clearwater spring training is also an easy outing from the house.
Airports:
St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is about 11 miles away, and Tampa International Airport is about 24 miles away, making arrivals and departures quick and easy for groups flying in.
