We enjoyed a very relaxing week at this property. The owners were great to deal with and the access to the beach was perfect. The location in town was convenient, positioned about halfway between Clearwater Beach and Madeira Beach. Plenty of restaurants close by. Morning walks on the beach and thru town were perfect.

We were very please with our stay. The condo is very clean and well stocked. Lisa was very easy to reach when we needed something. The only thing I would change for us since we just had 4 adults, it would have been nice to have 2 King beds, other than that we were happy with our purchase.

We had an amazing time this past week staying at Music by the Sea! The owners truly know how to make a stay easy and accommodating. Anything you would look for in your kitchen was available, down to spices! Going away (with a flight need) and not having to pack anything except your clothes is amazing, but grocery shopping and only needing food vs cleaning supplies, beach toys, and laundry needs is fantastic! Looking forward to future visits.

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!
