Perfect Location
The back porch and proximity to the beach is outstanding. Even with the condos next door, you could feel a sense of privacy. The home and casita could use some upgrades to alleviate some pest issues, but we truly enjoyed our stay. The property manager was easy to communicate with and we loved our time!

Great Space and Location! Poor Property Management!
The house and casita were amazing! They had everything you could possibly want while on vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook and serve meals. The casita had a bathroom and kitchenette area with a coffee maker, microwave, washer and dryer. They provided towels and chairs for the beach.The foldable beach tent was broken so it was lopsided and not very stable when we set it up. The porch on the main house is where we spent most of our time. It is just steps to the ocean however with the sand dune separating the house from the beach, it created a privacy barrier so you can't see or hear the people on the beach. It was perfection! The sunset views were incredible. There was a ton of space inside for lounging...whether in the living room or dining room. The 4 bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable. The location was great for getting groceries or going to restaurants. Now, for the less positive parts. I emailed Evolve twice with questions which didn't get answered for weeks and they still didn't answer my question. Then, when we arrived the place had not been cleaned. The mgmt host did not return our calls. We had to do the laundry, make the beds, clean and buy TP, dishsoap, etc. upon arrival. The place also smelled because the garbage disposal switch cannot be found. I called Evolve the next morning and am waiting for resolution/reimbursement. I never heard back from the host. Thankfully nothing bigger needed attn.

Fantastic Location, Charming Home
We really enjoyed our stay, the property is in a fantastic location, amenities close by, the beach was not crowded unlike the big condo near Pier 60. The home has all the amenities in the kitchen, washer and dryer, covered porch to enjoy rainstorms. The house was built in 1963, and is so charming and we felt very comfortable. I would recommend you book this listing, the home was clean it is just an older home, so other reviews mentioned cleanliness, I found the home to be clean. I would book this home again. The beach is just steps away from the porch and was so nice to wake up and walk outside. Thank you for letting us stay.

Perfect little beach house
The home was great for our family! We had a group ages ranging from 1 to 70 and the home had everything we needed. Minimal stairs to get in the home, plenty of beach toys for the kids, a beautiful view, and close to restaurants and shopping. Nothing fancy about the home itself but perfect for a beach stay to relax.

We enjoyed the location, home and proximity to the ocean! One bathroom in main house can be a bit taxing! The separate house with full bathroom, laundry and kitchenette is quaint and cozy! Beach access is around the construction site next door. You cannot climb up and over the dunes. This house has a huge back porch with beautiful sunset views!! We enjoyed this trip immensely!!!

Location was great!
First of all, location is fantastic!! We did have some issues. There was no power/internet in the living room and the a/c didn’t work. Jamison was great, he had people come and look at the problems immediately. Everything was repaired while we were there. Meaning we had contractors in our house for 3 full days fixing electrical issues and installing new a/c unit. The owners didn’t feel we deserved a discount since they repaired all the problems while we were there, BUT, Evolve agreed we should be compensated for having contractors in our house during our vacation. We were given a refund for part of our stay.

Beach-cation
The property was nice, and right on the water. However we were miss informed if we had full access from the back yard to the beach or if we had to use side entrances. The house inside needs a deep clean. We were disappointed there was construction happening next to the house we were unaware about. Overall we did enjoy our stay at Indian Beach.

If you just want access to the beautiful gulf this house is for you.
This house has great outdoor accommodations. Tons of outdoor seating, a hammock, tons of water toys for the kiddos and gulf water access steps from the walkway. If you want my honest opinion of the inside of the house like others reviewed it needs some tlc. That though we could live with but whatever cleaning crew cleans the house needs to be replaced. The bed linens and towels were clean but that's about all that was clean. The house needs a deep clean. Tons of dust everywhere, bedside tables, ceiling fans, windowsills, floors, the doors and house in general just needs a good scrubbing. I messaged the manager about the garbage disposal not working and a burned out outdoor light as well as some inside that could be replaced but never heard anything back. These were not major issues but odd that I heard nothing back. Overall our stay was good, as 80% of the time we were outside. If you plan to always be outdoors than this house will work fine.

Beach retreat
Very pleased overall with property, Great location. Main house is clean and well maintained for age of property. Need labels on light switches. Also could not figure out how to turn on garbage disposal. Casita was extremely musty smelling and the washer had mold growing in it. I emailed property mgr as it was not urgent but never received a reply. The dune in front of the house left front storm made beach access nealry impossible. It would have been nice to know that was the situation in advance.I would stay there again.

Great Potential but Did Not Live Up To It
The location was amazing but unfortunately the property was in borderline disrepair. When we arrived the outside of the house was filthy. Chunks of the outer stucko and brick were missing in spots. The casita door was covered with corrosion and inside had noticeable flood damage along the baseboard and leak damage beneath the Air Conditioning unit. Inside the house there was serious roof leak damage in multiple rooms. THIS PROPERTY NEEDS AN EXTERMINATOR!!! There were mouse droppings on the nightstand in the bedroom, in the bathroom, and all over the cookware under the stove. Having cockroachs crunch under your feet was the norm and a salamander came up through the sink! I have pics of all of this. The compressor on the fridge struggled the whole time and the oven could not get above about 250 when on. The windows were painted shut and held closed by boards in some instances. The fence on the side of the house was collapsed and being held up by jerry-rigged boards . The lattice work on the rear deck needs to be replaced and there were empty beer cans in the bushes. It is a shame because this property's location is amazing. It was sad to see it in neglect. This property was not cheap, we chose it because VRBO called it a preferred property. At that price point I would expect something more properly maintained. An expensive lesson.

Needs just a little love.
The property and location are absolutely amazing. It's nestled away to where you almost wouldn't even know it was there and 40ft from the beach. The house is old, but was very clean and well stocked with essentials. As others have mentioned the house could just use a little tlc. I was surprised the toilet was still broken as it was mentioned in reviews from a couple months ago. We just took the back of the toilet off and kept it on the ground so we could easily push the stopper down. You would think the owners would want to fix this as it's probably making their water bill extremely high but I guess if you own a beach house you probably aren't worried about water bills. There were no issues with stopped up sinks or anything else other people have mentioned. There is a rat trap in the kitchen and I did see a rat outside close to the neighboring hotel but it wasn't on the property. If you are looking for a house with the perfect location and convenience this is absolutely it. We just used it to sleep mainly so we didn't need all the bells and whistles and fancy interior. It reminds me of our lakehouse. Just the basics and that's all you need. We would absolutely stay there again. Also the back porch is amazing.!

Great location
We had a great time at this house. It’s one of the last original beach houses In the area. However the house is in need of repairs that would cost very little to make the stay much more enjoyable. The gate is broken and very hard to open. The bathroom faucet drips, the toilet handle chain falls off all the time. Making the toilet not flushable The doors to the bedroom are slotted so no privacy. And loud. Kitchen sinks clogged. Guest house is musty smelling. The outside furniture is very old and dirty. We spent an hour clean the back porch. The kitchen is very poorly stocked with awful pans and very limited utensils. The inside of the house was very clean. Overall if your looking for a house right on the beach with no luxury amenities this is the place. But if you like nice higher end homes this it not the one.
