BENEFITS OF A GULF FRONT RENTAL

Best Beachfront Access
There’s no doubt about it, waking up to the beach right outside your windows, balcony, and doorstep gives you the best beach access during your vacation.

Along with that prime beach access comes the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico views that can be yours all day, every day of your beach vacation. The scenery is spectacular.
Comfort & Convenience
Gulf Front vacation rentals in Indian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores are well-appointed and fully stocked with the items you need to feel at home at the beach.
Gulf Front Amenities
If you prefer to spend most of your time doing things centered around the Gulf of Mexico and its beaches, the gulf front amenities that IRB condos and rentals offer are just what you’re looking for. Beachfront pools, spas, grills, and tennis courts are perfectly placed for optimal enjoyment.
Spectacular Sunsets
The Florida Gulf Coast beaches are famous for their western facing views of the sunsets that sink into the horizon line over the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a new color show every evening, so you can watch as many as you want to from your gulf front vacation rental.

Boat Slips & Docks
Plumlee offers rentals on the ICW that come with amenities that boat lovers and paddle-enthusiasts will love. You can have close and convenient access to a boat slip and/or boat dock if you’re bringing watercraft with you.
Easy Water Access
There is no easier access to the Intracoastal Waterway than here! It’s also the fastest way to get out on the water. It’s all right there for you and only steps away from your rental. The water views are pretty amazing, too.
Fantastic Fishing
You can drop a line right from the dock of your vacation or condo rental anytime you choose. Fish as often and for as long as you please, and you won’t have to worry about it being too crowded or too far.
Plenty of Privacy
Vacation rentals are known for their superior privacy when compared to a hotel or motel stay. This is especially true of Intracoastal Waterway rentals that are situated away from the busier beach front areas.
Walk to the Beach
Just because you choose an Indian Rocks Beach Intracoastal rental doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice beach access. You are typically across the street or around the corner from the Gulf of Mexico and its beaches.
