About this property
DIRECT Gulf Front! NOT Overlooking Pool! Expansive Views of Gulf North & South.
Our vacation townhouse/condo in Indian Rocks Beach has the best of everything Florida's Gulf Coast has to offer for a perfect week or longer!
This direct Gulf-front 2nd floor townhouse has a 50' common area of grass before you hit the sand. The beautiful clear waters of the Gulf are as far as you can see! We are at the south end of this small complex, well away from the hubbub of the pool, yet close enough for quick access for a dip or sitting poolside.
We have on-site managers in our small 34 unit, 4-story condominium facility. Amenities include gas grills by the large heated pool to BBQ your favorite steaks or seafood. Don't feel like cooking? There are over 10 restaurants within a 5-to-10 minute walk of this vacation paradise.
There are Smart TV's in both bedrooms & the living room. Included for your enjoyment is a small cooler, beach umbrellas, a tote, beach towels & chairs. Set your internal clock to beach time, bring your sunscreen and a laid-back attitude :)
Your kitchen is equipped with everything needed for preparing gourmet meals. The king size bed in the master bedroom is luxuriously comfortable. There are 2 queen beds in the 2nd bedroom, both with comfortable memory foam mattress toppers. There are plenty of beach towels, bath towels and linens.
We are located in The Narrows of Indian Rocks Beach - a location unique to all of Florida. From the living room balcony, the Gulf is jaw-droppingly laid out before you. Walk through the unit to the front entrance & to the Intracoastal Waterway across the street! From the 2nd bedroom, wake up to view a Florida sunrise over the Intracoastal. In the master bedroom, the first thing you'll see in the morning is sun sparkling off the waters of the Gulf & magnificent sunsets in the evening.
The condo is our family's pride and joy, and we do our best to keep it immaculate & modern. It's townhome-style, located on the 2nd floor. On the entry level is the living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen & full bath. A stairway leads to 2 bedrooms & a full bath. An elevator is located ~80 feet from the front door for access to the pool & parking.
Easy access to all the attractions, museums, music and sports activities in both St Petersburg, Clearwater & Tampa.
WOW, a piece of paradise awaits!

Great condo ! Awesome view. Clean pool and neat property. Walkable to area restaurants. It was overall well stocked. Had plenty of towels good beach chairs 2 umbrellas and a beach tent! Communication with host was excellent.
The views are amazing. Our young children loved the calm water and clean pool. The central location and walking bike lanes make walking to restaurants easy. The beds were comfy. This is one deep clean from being immaculate. We would certainly stay here again!
Everything was great at this property. One complaint would be water pressure in the showers and bathroom maintenance. The view of the beach and sunsets was perfect for us. Thank you for hosting our vacation!
It’s clean, reasonably priced and right on the beach! This place would work well for all ages. Close enough to local attractions, but far enough away the beach always has lots of space. 2nd time stayed there and we’ll go back next chance we get. The manger was extremely responsive and even got us in a few hours early once we were in town. I just can’t say enough about Happy Fiddler, we always have a great time.
Condo in a perfect location for getting around! A perfect stay in a perfect location. Host was very responsive and dealt with a minor issue promptly. The pool at the condo was very clean and pleasant.
Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a blissful beach break. Definitely hope to return to this property
This is one of our favorite locations on Indian Rocks Beach. Love watching the sunsets! Convenient to Clearwater Beach, Dunedin breweries and St. Pete Beach. Assigned easy parking for us and our guests. This property has a new owner who is easy to work with and super responsive.
This property was exactly as advertised. It was perfectly clean, steps from the beach, quiet and relaxing. Communication with the owner was very accurate and quick, and we simply had an awesome stay. Thank you
Host was very kind and welcoming, although I would suggest at minimum, some bottles of water in the refrigerator for guests when they arrive. Could use some furniture upgrades such as outlets for charging phones.Table by front door is a great idea and very functional, although it needs updated as well. The real appeal here is the beach access and view. It's absolutely beautiful. We only had one day of sun unfortunately, but I can see this being a place to come back to with a few more updates.
We loved the oceanfront view as soon as we walked in the door ! The sunsets were beautiful! The balcony and furniture were very comfortable! We really appreciated being told there was an extra umbrella in the closet to use for shade in the late afternoon sun ! The king size bed in the master was super comfortable! Cheryl and Luke were on-site to help and so nice ! We would stay again !
Property was wonderfully situated within walking distance of restaurants and CVS. The condo was very clean with one of the best equipped kitchens and set of beach chairs and toys we have ever had in 8 years coming to this area. We even walked over the Intra coastal to visit the turtle park and stopped for ice cream on the way back. We would come back there anytime we can!

This is awesome direct beach front/view property
We loved this property! Everything described is exactly as it is! The quick access to and from the beach was so convenient and the condo contained just about anything you could think of you may need. It was located in a perfect spot in between Clearwater and St. Pete. The short drive to either allowed us to enjoy a wide range of activities, restaurants, shopping and sight seeing in either direction. The owners were always available to answer any questions about the property or offer suggestions on things to do. If you fly into the St. Pete airport the drive was less than 20 minutes. The condo area is quiet and the morning view out the mater bedroom from the bed when you wake up is one you will not forget. I would rent this condo again in the future and recommend it to others!
This is the perfect spot! Beautiful views from every window! Love you don’t have to go far to be in the sand, just a few steps. Super easy. 2 adults and 2 teenagers and we never felt cramped, had plenty of room. Condo had everything we needed, the beach supplies were a huge plus for us, saved us from trying to pack all of ours in. Beds are extremely comfortable. I have a back issue and always have to buy a topper on vacation, this is the first time in over 10 years I didn’t need one. This is a 10 star condo! Don’t look any further!!!!! Also this was the most beautiful beach to see so many different types of birds! Ive never seen so many. They all were just beautiful! And the bird book in the living room is a huge help to identify them all. Very peaceful condo!
Had a very positive experience with this property in IRB and would recommend it to others. The building itself is very centrally located in the area where you are steps away from the beach but also within walking distance to several restaurants and shops.
Both the condo owner and property manager are very responsive and helpful. Instructions for check in, upkeep, and check out were clearly communicated. Had no issues the entire stay.
Lastly, the condo itself was exactly as described in the listing with a really amazing view of the Gulf. Traveled with children, who liked that the property was not too "stuffy", nor just a free for all. Hopping down to the beach or pool was about as quick as any property we ever stayed at.
Big thanks to Dan and looking forward to our next trip!
We had a fantastic time! My husband couldn’t stop saying how it was the best condo we have ever stayed in. It had everything you could ever need. The closet under the stairs is FULL of beach accessories which is so convenient for travelers. The view is incredible. The condo is clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for walking. We were all very impressed. A huge thank you to the hosts for making their condo feel like a home away from home!
Wonderful townhome right on the beach and very close to the pool which was great for our grandchildren ages 3&5. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony. Will definitely stay here again. Communication with the host was very prompt and any issues were resolved immediately.
What an excellent property! Great check-in/out process. The keyless entry is very convenient. The host was very responsive. The townhouse was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed for the groceries we bought. The views - amazing. The distance to the beach was easy and quick. There were plenty of towels for 4 people. The Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs and the smaller bathroom downstairs worked perfectly for 4 guests. The balcony was very nice, and the chairs, pool noodles, and beach umbrella were great to have. There are two things to mention for awareness. 1) The master bed had tons of drawer space, but the second bedroom really needs a tall dresser between the beds instead of the small cabinet. We made it work. 2) The bathrooms both need a little attention to the caulking. It did not detract from an amazing stay but was something we noticed.
This is a gem of a rental. The location is what makes this property really special. situated in an area untouched by corporate giants like Hilton, Hyatt etc. No towering resorts no crowds, this could be one of the last areas in Florida that can have bragging rights to being a true beach town. The property itself was absolutely perfect, true to the photos. Very clean with everything you need for a true beach vacation. Access to the beach took 30 seconds. the host of the property is also very quick to respond. the views get no better from your balcony or from the beach which is basically your back yard. Very quiet at night, and you can walk to just about anywhere you need to go.. if you want privacy and relaxation you will get it here. We have stayed at Hundreds of properties and this one is now at the top of our list.
Spacious and clean with a world class view of the gulf from the main floor and master bedroom. Literally Everything you will need for your stay- from the fully stocked kitchen to all of the beach chairs, umbrellas, noodles and a cooler. Bill and Cher were the most accommodating and friendly hosts we’ve ever had during our 20+ years of staying on the beach. Can’t give enough stars!!
This was our first visit to the Gulf Coast and by far one of our most relaxing vacations. The condo was very nice and spacious. It was clean and equipped with everything you would need. The owners have made it so easy to spend the day at the beach or pool. Chairs, toys, towels, etc., Our kids loved the fact that all we had to do was open the door, go down a flight of stairs and within a moment our feet were in the beautiful white powder sand. Waves were perfect for our kids and we felt safe having them in the water. Beachcombing was one our favorite parts of the day along with sitting on the balcony and watching the wildlife. We even spotted a couple of dolphins! Sunsets were breathtaking and waking up every morning to the sounds of the ocean was a delight. Another favorite of our children was the pool. Beautiful and clean. There are plenty of restaurants and stores close by. However, a short drive and you are in the shopping area of a local town. Thank you to owner, Bill and his family for making their guests feel welcomed and at home in their condo. We loved our trip to Indian Rocks Beach and would definitely return and stay at their condo again.
Our stay was seamless. The condo was beautiful and clean. The pool was very well maintained and very nice. The owner was very quick to respond to email questions.
I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a beautiful stay right on the Gulf beach.
We will definitely be looking to stay here again on our next adventure.
