It was so peaceful and quiet sitting on the dock and by the pool. There is a large table for gathering or sharing a meal, the beds were comfortable and so was the furniture. Although we didn't watch a lot of TV, there are plenty so everyone can watch their own thing. The furniture was also comfy.One of the best perks of staying at Flippers Lagoon is the location to the beach and to just about everything else we needed.The only con was the pool heater was down (like all the others around) and waiting for parts. The water was a bit chilly but we still swam.Rod and Tracy were quick to answer any questions. We had a great stay. ##### Paul K. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nate H.

Kids kept busy swimming in the pool and fishing off the dock. We chartered a fishing excursion with Randy of Hustler Fishing Charters right across and he picked us up right from the dock, put us on fish, cleaned them and dropped us off for us to cook our catch! Great spot for a family vacation! Rod and Tracy were great! ##### Mark M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie M.

We spent most of our days at the beach and in the pool. What an amazing view to wake up to. The house is well-equipped for large groups. There are places to gather and places for privacy. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is a tv in every room. The hosts are beyond amazing. Easy to reach them and they answered questions within minutes. We grilled out on our last night and enjoyed eating poolside while watching a manatee hanging under the deck. Highly recommend this property! ##### Stephanie M.

The house was large and spacious with a perfect dining table to all sit together. Very close to the beach and the pool was fantastic. We caught fish right off the dock each day. Various varieties including a large Sheepshead. The house is very close to excellent dining locations as well as coffee shops and nice little restaurants for casual dining. We had 8 adults and the large space of the house suited our needs perfectly. An absolute homerun. We are VERY active and what clinched the house for us was that coming from Maryland, all we needed were some clothes and bathing suits. The house had EVERYTHING from pool and beach toys to Kayaks and fishing rods and tackle box. Communication with the hosts was really excellent. They reached out with check in instructions, little notes about things to do and answered any questions we had. We will all remember Flippers Lagoon as perhaps our best family vacation ever and we were actually very sad to leave it. ##### scott s. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne B. May 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location, not good for seniors or toddlers The house was well-stocked and clean. The pool and the many amenities in the garage were wonderful, and the location was great. However, we would have booked a different property if the floor plan had been included in the listing. It was a challenge for our parents and for the family we were there to visit.. There is a large stone/marble foyer with a couple of steps up to the level of the bedroom, bathroom and (small) kitchen on the ground floor. The living room is half a flight up on the second floor, with a guest room that opens directly into the living room. There are 30 steps from the front door up to the 3rd floor primary suite. The open stairway acted as a megaphone carrying the voices of our school-aged children from the ground floor to the top floor. The layout was challenging for our family, but it would be fine for those without any mobility or stair safety concerns. The extra guest room on the top floor is only accessible through the primary bedroom. The 3rd floor bathroom has a wonderful tub and walk-in shower. There was also a huge closet (also accessible only from the primary bedroom). We were visiting family who live in St Pete’s, and they have a baby who just started walking- all of the steps were a challenge when they came over during the day to hang out. As was the spiral staircase down to the pool area. Child safety gates would be helpful for any guests with young children. I would not recommend this house for anyone who has any mobility issues. ##### Anne B.

There was plenty of room for everyone with two balconies to enjoy. Renters should know ahead of time, there are LOTS of steps. Many things not as described (amenity list needs updating) for example, there is no "Keurig Duo", the cappuccino maker was unusable due to missing parts. When we requested sharp knives, the owner was responsive and brought us some but when we voiced our concerns regarding the slippery entry way and asked for a non-slip rug since it had been raining and the marble type flooring was slippery, he brought us a bath towel and told us to use it for that purpose. We felt this was a safety issue ignored by the owner especially since my 81-year-old Mom was with us. As previous reviewers have stated, the property could be much improved with a few extra upgrades and general upkeep which would not be costly but would greatly increase enjoyment of the property. I encountered a couple of things which I've never seen before at the numerous online rental homes I've been to: 1. the hot water supply to the washer was literally zip tied so we could only do wash with cold water. 2. we found a 13-page legal document in the back of the red information binder on foyer table indemnifying the owner of every imaginable thing and laying out an extreme amount of renter responsibility. The final page states "Signed by tenant by and thru original booking and occupying property." \* This was never presented to me at any time during the rental process and I just happened upon it. I never agreed to or signed anything of the sort \*. We found this unnerving, along with the numerous warning signs posted throughout the house and property warning of possible punitive charges for various infractions. We rented the pool heater for extra charge, and it broke the day before our arrival. Owner went above and beyond to get it fixed and we were grateful for that, as without it we probably wouldn't have been able to use the pool at all. We enjoyed the canal and relaxing out on the dock and saw dolphins twice during our weeklong stay. Indian Rocks Beach is lovely, and we would return to the area. ##### Barbara S.
