The house was very big and had all the necessities, no need to bring anything extra. It was great that our family, with adult children, was able to really spread out. The grounds/pool were in perfect condition! We loved the common room as well, to watch tv together. Just a glitch on checking in... they gave us the incorrect code. I'd recommend more instructions for garbage disposal use, recycling., what goes where, and television remote instructions could be clearer. We would definitely return!
Biltmore vacation homes goes above and beyond. This house was so spacious. Absolutely perfect. Short 10-minute walk to the beach didn't even feel that long. A lot of fresh seafood restaurants nearby. Beautiful ocean.
We loved this place. It felt like a home away from home. Our kids absolutely loved the beach toys and the beach cart was so handy.
House was beautiful and spacious and had everything we needed and more.
Location was brilliant as well. Close to restaurants/bars and beach (the sunsets here are amazing too).
This house is big and beautiful! There was plenty of space inside and out for our group. It was an easy 5 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. Loved the quiet neighborhood. Overall fantastic stay.
The house was awesome, and we felt that everything we saw online was exactly what we thought it would be!! This was a âstaycationâ for us, and we will probably use this house again for future family events!!
Great home for all of our family! Plenty of room, pool was amazing for all ages and short walk to the beach. We maybe back next year depending what the group wants to do. Thanks!
My family stayed at the property for 9 days. The house was comfortable for all 6 adults and two boys, ages 3 and 5. The pool was awesome and the littles lived in it when we were at the house. The park close by the property added fun to their day. The beach is a close walk and beautiful! Our stay was all we could have asked for! Thanks to the property managers!!!
Great house and a great family oriented neighborhood
Overall experience was great, the house is in great shape, it just needs a few minor upgrades: fix the freezer handle, fix the sink in the hallway ( no water comes out), fix the water temperature in the bathroom in the main hallway by the bedroom.
Sadly the pictures arenât of the current state of the house. The house is worn, chipped cabinets, mismatched floors, lumpy beds and a dirty pool upon arrival. Management was quick to answer, but sadly the place just wasnât what we expected for the price we paid and the pictures we saw.
We loved Indian Rocks Beach and the design of house and swimming pool. House had all the components promised. Killed a roach within 30 minutes of entering house. Need to check with pest control. One guest would not have stayed if she had known about roach. Living room couch broke when one guest sat down. We repaired the couch but all living room furniture needs to be taken to goodwill. House was overpriced for what was included. Kitchen cabinetry needs repaired or replaced.
Had a great experience. Overall, house was in good shape. Nicely updated. Very good communication with manager/owner. Easy check-in and the owner was accommodating to all requests. Pool was on small side, but we knew that going in. A few large bugs were on floor when we got there, but no big deal. Itâs florida after all. About a 7-8 minute walk to the beach, pulling a wagon with young kids so location was awesome. Weâd likely stay here again!
This was a great place to spend the week in Indian Rocks. There were two families with 4 kids and the house was extremely accommodating. The pool was awesome and there were a lot of inflatables for the kids and adults to use. The house was in a great location to get anything you needed. The only drawbacks would be there was no bathroom amenities such as shampoo and conditioner. Also, the kitchen had only the bare essentials but nothing extra like coffee filters and scrub brushes to clean dishes. Know you will have to buy some things to make your time there a little easier. Other than that, the house was clean and the sheets and both beach and bathroom towels were in great condition. We would definitely recommend this house if youâre looking for a getaway.
The house was big enough for our family and close to beach. Plenty of towels and the washer and dryer were a plus. However, some dishes were chipped, some lights were not working, we had no sheets for the futon, the pool was a little cool..seemed like the heater did not work, showers were cold except for the first bathroom (where everyone ended up showering), the water pressure in the sinks was barely a trickle in most and there were some safety issues. (Sliding doors had no locks only a bar to prevent them.feom opening,, floor outlet had no cover, wires hanging out from the fireplace). Lastly, the TVs kept asking for an upgrade. Tom was very accommodating and helped get the TV to work.. in addition, he and the other gentleman were easy to get a hold of.
This house has to be a newer rental because it is in amazing condition. The decor is very current and some of the pieces still had tags on them from the furniture store. It was absolutely lovely and our entire family loved it.
As others mentioned, it is about 2 blocks away from a very nice park with tennis, playground and basketball. It's also only about 4 blocks away from ice cream and other great restaurants. The beach is about the same distance away.
The pool at the house is very nice and having a few floats and toys there was also great.
The downside of it being a new rental is a lot of the basic kitchen supplies were lacking... only 6 tall glasses, no mixing bowls, no cookies sheets or any sort of bakeware and minimal utensils. There was only one kitchen towel. I like to make side dishes for our dinner and also keep things cleaned up in the kitchen, so we ended up having to make due with what we had or were willing to purchase. The only other thing I'd note is that I expected there to be supplies for the week based on the description of the unit (shampoo, soap, tp, paper towels) and we had to go out and purchase more of everything. There were supplies to get us started, which was helpful, but not enough for our stay.
All in all, a wonderful property that I highly recommend. The quality of the home definitely made us feel like we were on vacation! You will not be disappointed with this house!
Wonderful location, able to walk to the park, restaurants and the beach. Beautiful kitchen and dining room. TVs were very difficult to figure out even simple channels. Bathroom TV was not even hooked up to a cable/plug in the wall, it was as if it was in for "show" only. Patio door facing the street had no indoor handle on it, it was completely broken off. Living room shades were broken. Construction across the street blocks any view of the intercoastal watery that the property had in the past. A cockroach greeted us in the main hallway, one noted emerging from ceiling fan in the living room during our stay. Largest disappointment: pool. It was very cold. Due to trees surrounding the property for privacy, it was shade covered for most of the day. My elderly father went to sit on a pool chair and fell to the ground as they were almost all broken/rusted to the point of one more bottom sitting on them and they would break. I did contact the management agency upon arrival about the pool chairs. I was connected to an after hours voicemail and eventually received and email that there was nothing they could do, they had no replacements. I understand each property is not perfect, but for the price we paid to stay at this house, expectations of sturdy pool chairs were included as depicted in the pictures. We will not be staying at this house again. I hope this review does prompt some changes as it is a beautiful property.
Excellent location/great communication with manager
Loved the location. We could easily walk to the beach and restaurants. Recommend Salt Public House, TJâs Italian Restaurant, Cafe de Paris, Guppies, Grouper on Gulf and Keeganâs.
The house looked just like the pictures. Nice open area, large dining room table, large refrigerator and large washer and dryer and garage parking for one car. Also appreciated the 4 garbage bins and twice a week garbage collection.
Tom, the property manager was a miracle worker and found someone to come over on a Sunday night to replace a broken part in pool heater. Loved the pool area. The pool was cleaned twice a week and there was plenty of seating.
Tom also fixed a few minor maintenance issues. He responded within a hour or so. He also brought over extra propane for the grill. Thank you, Tom!
It is a good rental for a group. We were three couples and we had plenty of space to spread out. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Think this home might work better for short term rentals than the month that we rented. We probably wouldnât have noticed the minor maintenance issues, if we only there a short time,
Because we were there a month, we ended up picking up a few kitchen items (crock pot, 9x10 casserole, measuring cups and spoons, and serving glass casseroles.) We picked a few more hangers and cushions for some of the pool chairs. Didnât ask Tom for these, as we picked them up at a thrift shop or figured we could use them at home.
We would love to give this home a five star, but it needs little updating of living room furniture. The furniture was comfortable but showing wear. It also needs a few shelves installed in the closet.
Just a heads up: remember that you will be hauling luggage and groceries upstairs, so try to pack lighter weight suitcases and grocery bags with supplies.
Also, we knew looking at the pictures that there werenât lamps in any rooms, so brought reading lights. (Weâre old and still read books. Ha!Ha!) Iâm sure this would not be an issue for our millennial kids.
Thanks for a wonderful month and Tomâs help in making our vacation so wonderful.
My family really enjoyed the house and the layout. It accommodated two families perfectly. Cleanliness and appearance were just as pictured on the website.
This home was beautiful & spacious for our family of 9 people in July. The pool was perfect for our family of ages 18 months - 60. Totally worth the price.
We needed a propane tank on a Friday evening & the rep with Biltmore vacations had one there in 15 min. We woke up one morning & the air had stopped working. We went to the beach & they had it fixed by noon.
