First Chair Vacations brings together nine Gulf Coast homes looked after by one local host. Six are houses with room for six to twelve — four with private pools, two with their own docks on the water — and three are bungalows on one lot, five minutes on foot from the Indian Rocks Beach sand. Most sit between Indian Rocks Beach and St. Petersburg; Palmetto House is down the coast in Sarasota.
