Welcome to Sunrise Suite at Dolphin Bay on the Rocks—your private waterfront retreat in Indian Rocks Beach.

You'll have your own private entrance, 2-bedroom/1-bath suite, full kitchen, living and dining spaces, and laundry. There are no shared indoor spaces between the two suites. Outside, enjoy our waterfront amenities along the Intracoastal. The hot tub, dock, waterfront seating and bar, grills, kayaks, paddleboards, bikes and outdoor games are shared with guests staying in the neighboring Sunset Suite. Traveling with a larger group? You can book both sides of the duplex for up to 12 guests. WATERFRONT LIVING + WALK TO THE BEACH Wake up to beautiful bay views, sip coffee overlooking the water, fish from the dock, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or relax in the hot tub. When you're ready for the Gulf, the sugary sands of Indian Rocks Beach are just 3 blocks away—about a 5-minute walk. We provide the beach gear so you don't have to pack it: beach wagons, zero-gravity beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers and a Bluetooth speaker. 2 KING BEDROOMS + ROOM FOR 6 Both bedrooms feature king-size memory-foam mattresses, Smart TVs and dedicated workspaces. The living-room sleeper sectional accommodates up to two additional guests. A COFFEE LOVER'S DREAM Start your morning at our fully stocked coffee bar featuring a Nespresso Vertuo, Keurig, traditional drip coffee maker, Fellow pour-over, French press, electric kettle, frother and grinder with fresh coffee beans. YOUR WATERFRONT PLAYGROUND Spend the afternoon kayaking, paddleboarding or fishing from the dock. Challenge the family to giant Connect 4, Jenga, cornhole, ring toss or glow-in-the-dark bocce. In the evening, fire up the Blackstone or 6-burner grill, make a frozen drink with the Margaritaville machine at the custom 10-foot waterfront bar, and settle into the hot tub as the sun goes down.

House Rules

The Hot Tub is provided for your use and the water has been treated to ensure it is correctly balanced. If used following these instructions, there should be no need for additional maintenance visits. Hot tubs pose similar risks to swimming pools, as well as having their own dangers. Here are some hot tub safety rules that everyone should be aware of before using the tub. 1. The tub is to be used responsibly and is not to be used as a substitute wading pool by children. Allowing children to jump or dive into the water is not permitted under any circumstances. Children must not use the spa unsupervised at any time. No infants or toddlers in the spa. 2. Please shower before using the tub to remove make-up, sun-screen, insect repellent or any other oil-based products. 3. Only clean swimwear may be worn in the tub as the chemicals in the water will remove the colored dyes found in ordinary clothing, causing them to leach into the water and turn it cloudy. 4. Prevent accidental drowning. Leave the hot tub cover on and latched when the spa is unsupervised. 5. Prevent Hyperthermia. Understand that alcohol and other medications greatly increase the chance of hyperthermia – the opposite of hypothermia. This occurs when the internal body temperature reaches several degrees above the normal temperature of 98.6 degrees. 6. Glass. Don’t do it, ever. Trust us. 7. Do not use a hot tub if you are taking any medication that makes you drowsy or affects your circulation; if necessary, check with your doctor. Pregnant women and the elderly should also consult their doctor before using a hot tub. 8. Dot not use the hot tub if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs as your judgment will be impaired and you could become unconscious and drown. 9. No smoking is permitted in or around the tub. 10. People with cuts or external infections should not use the tub. Overuse or abuse will also cause the tub water to turn cloudy and may render the tub unusable. Tubs that require excessive cleaning will be emptied and cleaned at the expense of the renter, and may deny you the use of the tub for at least 24-hours. All of our hot tubs are on a regular cleaning schedule. On rare occasions, you may not be able to use the tub for a short time after it has been serviced. We apologize for this inconvenience, but it is necessary to keep the tubs sanitized. The water in front of the property is very shallow- no diving in this area. There are quite a few sharp rocks in the water in front of the property- we advise guests to wear water shoes for their safety and comfort.

If you’re reading this, stop and book your stay now. This was by far the most generous vacation rental we’ve ever had. It had everything we could possibly need during our stay. We’ve never had so many options for coffee supplied at a rental and had a great coffee shop nearby. Everything was like new, comfortable and super clean. The location is amazing and it’s super easy to access both the beach and the main intracoastal channel. We loved getting everywhere we wanted to go locally on the supplied beach cruiser bikes. It was a fantastic stay and we’ll be back!

This was our second time staying at Thomas and Nicole’s Dolphin Bay. We rented the whole duplex & brought the parents. We absolutely love this beautiful property. They are the perfect hosts and make our stay so easy, peaceful, and enjoyable. The property has everything you need for vacation. Beautiful view of the bay, couple minute walk to the beach, SUPs, kayaks, fishing, & wagons and chairs for the beach. There are so many amazing restaurants right within a 5-10 minute walk. This place and Nicole and Thomas are 5 stars all around and we will be coming back for a third time hopefully next year!
