Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as vacation rentals, are legal in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, under new regulations established on August 1, 2023. The city caters primarily to tourists, with properties thriving in beachfront locations, making them attractive for vacationers looking for homes, condos, and townhouses. STRs are subjected to specific regulations, including a limit on the number of guests—no more than two per bedroom, plus two additional guests. This market environment is influenced by the area's reputation as a safe and scenic beach destination, drawing in family vacationers rather than business travelers. The City of Indian Rocks Beach Commission is responsible for overseeing these regulations.
