Teena and her staff are friendly and they do such a great job making their guests feel welcome! Our room was huge, clean, and amazing. The location is perfect, too. Situated right on the Gulf of Mexico, you are merely steps away from experiencing one of the most beautiful, soft-sanded beaches in the area. The Gulf is clear and warm. If the beach isn't your thing, take a dip in their clean, sparkling pool and relax to the sounds of gentle waves just beyond the pool deck. Guests of this hotel are also treated to a front row seat to the most breathtaking sunsets you will ever see. Don't miss it! Not only are they a quick 2 minute walk to the bus stop, they are within easy walking/cycling distance of several great restaurants, a nice local brewery, and a few shops, including a well-stocked CVS. This adorable hotel is truly a gem nestled amongst the dunes in Indian Rocks Beach. Thank you, Teena! We hope to return next summer!

The hotel however is kind of a mess. The place needs some major repairs. Everything is dirty and falling apart. It looks like it's one good storm away from crumbling into the harbor. We found a roach crawling in our room. The shower head was almost unusable because it was so dirty that water couldn't get out of it. The carpet was disgusting. We ended up switching rooms because our fan was making a clicking sound. Thankfully the bed in the second room was more comfortable but the bed in the first room was terrible. The rooms are very spacious though and all have kitchenettes which is great. The mini golf course is cute but you need to pay 7$ a game. What's the point in spending the insane amount of money to stay here if you can't actually enjoy one of the only amenities. The pool is a joke with how small it is. The restaurant is the absolute worst and the store is so small and overpriced and has almost nothing we actually needed. The one bright side is it's only about a 5 min walk to the beach. The absolutely worst part was the event space. We were there for a wedding and the reception in the event space was so hot I actually got sick before I could even eat. It must've been no less than 85-90 degrees in that room (before eating and dancing) and their solution was a big fan in the far corner of the room not near anything or anyone. It was insane that anyone thought that was acceptable.

Looking for a unique hotel experience? This place offers complimentary termites!…read more My boyfriend also left a review and I'm laughing out loud as to his reflection on how the events transpired. We woke up to what my boyfriend thought was some kind of mysterious skin condition. Half asleep, he kept brushing little specks off the bed and himself, trying to figure out why his skin was suddenly shedding like a snake. After several minutes of confusion and mild panic layered with hysterical laughter we discovered it wasn't his skin at all--it was termite droppings literally raining down on us from above. Nothing says "vacation relaxation" quite like lying in bed while insects droppings fall from the ceiling. The hotel apparently believes in immersive wildlife experiences, and they definitely delivered. The pool bar service was exceptional however the poolside service was exceptionally bad. The servers were not only elusive but they were bothered and actually argumentative. It should be mentioned that we were ordering buckets of canned beverages and nothing that required an eye roll, fruit adornment or a blender. It couldn't get any easier than our order and watching her crash out when we asked for a chicken quesadilla kind of made our day. Imagine our nerve... The front desk guy handled it like a champ. I'm no Inspector Gadget but his lack of surprise and the sealant all over the ceiling in our room leads me to believe this wasn't the first time Russ heard this. I recommend checking your bed before you unpack your belongings and if you plan on utilizing the servers at the pool I'd suggest you have thick skin as they are not for the weak. On the bright side, we left with memories we'll never forget and a newfound ability to identify termite droppings on sight.

I spoke to Janet when making my reservation, she was wonderful and very helpful. They have lounge chairs on the beach with the great pillows, cabana (no charge) bikes if you want to ride also free, a washer and dryer if you want to wash your clothes, and yup free.

The grounds at Sarah's are beautiful, well kept and the foliage makes you feel like you are in the tropics, so many different palm tress, banana trees (that have bananas growing). Many different flowering plants. Pool that is shared within this small complex is very welcoming and relaxing. Rooms are spotless and very comfortable, well decorated and all the supplies for cooking your own meals if you want. Pam and I stayed in the Carriage House while my 2 sons and family with 3 children stayed in the Governors Main where the porch is shaded with great view of the beautiful sunsets. Great place for family vacation or reunion. Owners and staff and very nice, welcoming and available for any special needs. They will make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your time. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the vacation that will be in our memories for years to come.

Nice smaller condo complex in Indian Rocks Beach, Fl. All…read moreunits are 2 bedrooms that sleep 6. Very large and well appointed. No laundry in the unit but available on each floor. Each unit has some type of gulf view. We stayed in 201 and had a view from one bedroom and also to the side from the large patio. It was fine as it's just a minute walk from the unit to the sand. There is a nice pool area with plenty of chairs and a separate hot tub area with a tiki area if you want to grill out. The resort offers plenty of Adirondack chairs to take out to the beach. The beach area here is very wide and clean. It's more of a residential area so very safe and not over run with tourists. The staff are very helpful. I'd actually confirmed 2 different units for consecutive weeks and they were able to work out our not having to move. There are several restaurants within walking distance and plenty up and down a gulf blvd. if you have a car. Tons to do in the area. I would definitely stay here again!

Let's start with the negatives this time: - the floors like others have mentioned were extremely dirty. My daughter's feet were super filthy after walking for just a few minutes. - water pressure/shower heads weren't the best - no beach towels provided in the room, we got 3 at the front office - only one elevator on our side was working the whole time, and upon departure when we're trying to bring all our stuff down, all elevators on our side stopped working - beds were overall comfortable but you can tell are getting old, you can feel and hear the springs in the sides of the bed The positives: - the front office service was SO nice, especially Teresa, she is absolutely excellent! - the balcony with view of the water park was super nice and made the little one super excited - sheets and towels were clean - water park was super fun, so much to do for young kids We loved our experience so much, but having clean floors would really have made it a ton better.

Our room wasn't ready when we arrived but the front staff was able to take our luggage and give us access to the amenities. We explored the pool for a bit, which was smaller than I expected, so we moved over to the beach. The beach has a very friendly and helpful attendant who assists with the chairs. Once you reserve your chairs, they're yours for the entire day and the attendant keeps an eye on them. The hotel offers a full-serivice restaurant and bar right by the beach. I ordered a piña colada and it was quite delicious. The staff was wonderful throughout. Parking can be challenging during busy times. Not sure if it was the wedding happening at the same time or that's the usual, but we left the hotel for dinner and came back to full parking lots. Fortunately, we got lucky when a car left a spot shortly after we arrived. Overall, we had a pleasant and comfortable stay. We would consider staying here again.
