Indian Rocks Beach is a quaint and welcoming community centrally located between Clearwater & St. Pete.

You're within walking distance to several dining and shopping options just north on Gulf Boulevard, including: Villa Gallace [Italian +++++], Crabby Bills Seafood [++++], VIP Mexican [++++], souvenir shops, CVS, and many others. Just approximately two miles south, enjoy the entire region's best culinary experience available at famed Salt Rock Grill, where the seafood menu is built daily and depends entirely on the haul of their private fishing fleet at the close of each fishing day.
Around town, John's Pass, our county's busiest tourist attraction is 6 miles south on Gulf Boulevard. Restaurants of all flavors and price ranges line Gulf Blvd. in both directions between St. Pete Beach to the south [20 min.] and Clearwater Beach to the north [20 min.]. Additional attractions within 30 minutes include: The Clearwater Aquarium, featuring Winter the Dolphin from the acclaimed Dolphin Tales, the beautiful Dali Museum and revitalized, vibrant downtown St. Petersburg and new Pier, and home of the Tampa Bay Rays Tropicana Field just to name a few.
Just a 35-45 minute drive will take you to Tampa, where you'll want to make a stop in Ybor City, the CruisePort, International Plaza, Busch Gardens Amusement Park, Lowry Zoo, and countless other points of interest. Even a quick diversion to Disney World and all Orlando has to offer are just an hour east of Tampa.
Getting Around:
Getting around is simple, with around-the-clock Uber availability, and our very own “Jolly Trolley" offering bus service every 20 minutes at all points between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach! Care to get out and really explore? Tampa, Orlando, and many points beyond are very popular day trips away.
Other Things to Note:
On the Rocks #15 is strictly non-smoking. Evidence of smoking inside or outside a unit will result in assessment of a $500 deep cleaning fee. There is a designated smoking area on the SE corner of the complex by the street.

It was perfect for a weekend getaway with my wife. Very close to town/restaurants but far enough away so the beaches wasn’t packed. Definitely will be back.
This is an easy location allowing us to visit a wonderful place, Indian Rocks Beach, with good access to the town, restaurants and both sides of the water. The greatest thing is the private access to this stunning beach and amazing sunsets. You have to get there to see what we saw!
Nice area condo right on the beach. A little small and there wasn’t a pull out coach. Beach chairs and umbrella was a nice surprise! Overall the location was the big plus for us
We spent the 4th at the beach. The condo is perfect for a couple. WiFi, well- stocked kitchen, comfy bed and a desk to work, if needed. The property manager was super responsive to any and all questions. We stayed in 15 so it was not directly on the beach, but just a 30 second walk around the building and voila! There is a closet full of beach stuff (albeit in desperate need of a clean out!) so no need to worry about chairs, umbrellas or floaties. It also had a dedicated parking spot which was super handy.
Ideally, the washer and dryer wouldn’t be shared so if that bothers you, pack enough for the entire stay. My only other suggestion would be to leave the standard seasonings and cooking stuff (besides salt n pepper). This is handy when you’re cooking in the condo and not having to buy all of it new.
Would definitely stay here again. It’s convenient to pretty much everything!
