This was our second year at the property. It’s always spotless and the hosts have everything a family would need. We always fly in, so having access to beach chairs, etc. is so nice. You are STEPS from the sand. Pool is a nice bonus. We love IRB and this property will not disappoint!

We had an amazing stay at this location! So close to the beach and a pool on site! We found shark teeth and so many shells. We only had to provide a few things once we arrived but was stocked with starter supplies, beach towels, etc. We really enjoyed the puzzles and board games available and the washer and dryer was a great thing to have on site! We had a wonderful, comfortable stay.

Family Winter Escape

We fled the snow Indiana for Indian Rocks after several friends had recommended the area. We were so pleased with our stay! It was the perfect setup for our family, giving us plenty of room to rest, relax, eat, and play. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and the beach access was actually closer than we expected.
