Newly Remodeled Beautiful Beachfront direct view of the Gulf and a heated pool.

CONDO, 2 BEDROOM, 2 BATHS, (SLEEPS 4) one king size bed and two double beds.

SEVEN NIGHT MINIMUM
The perfect beach getaway at our beach front condo. With beautiful heated pool on the beach.
Relax with a cool drink and a spectacular sunset from balcony before dinner, or sit with your morning coffee watching the ocean.
Take a walk along the beach to collect the most amazing shells...but don't leave them for us as we have plenty!
Take a beach chair and sit on the edge of the dunes just in front of our condo and let your trouble float away.
Get your fishing rod out on the beach , or on the Fiddler's private dock across the road, and catch dinner.

The Fiddler on the beach is just a 2 minute walk to the quaint "beachy" restaurants, bars and shopping district and bike rental. - no need to take a car!

Each bedroom has a water view, master facing the beach and the other facing the intercoastal waterway..This is a two-level condo with both bedrooms being on the upper level with a Jack and Jill bathroom. The Balcony off the living room overlooks lush tropical gardens and sand dunes and the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A modern fully equipped kitchen, light and airy living/dining room and 2 full bathrooms completes the package.

There is a King size bed ( very comfortable mattress) in the master bedroom and the second bedroom has 2 doubles . There's also a pack and play.

The Beachside heated pool with sun loungers is a perfect place to while a way a few hours with a good book, or beachcomb along the prestige sands of Indian Rocks Beach. We have beach toys, boogie boards, lawn chairs beach towels are provided. There are coin-op washers and dryers in the common area ,laundry detergent in the upstairs master closet.

Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, two parks adjacent to one another in Tampa or Disney or Universal Studios just 90 minutes are wonderful day visits particularly for families with children.

Downtown St Petersburg has several world renowned museums and a host of smaller galleries and parks, the waterfront and marina.

Pinellas county has two of the top USA ranked beaches, Caladesi Island and Fort de Soto state parks . In between these are 20 miles of glorious white sand, pristine beaches, all open to the public.

While you are here, check out the atmospheric smaller towns of Dunedin - an arty waterfront town and Tarpon Springs, with its historic sponge docks and very Greek, Mediterranean flavor and downtown Safety Harbor.

If that hasn't tired you out, sport is our big thing here too! Golf, tennis, bike riding, water sports of every kind. Fishing from deep sea fishing to fishing off our private dock across the street from The Fiddler. Pro Football, baseball,and hockey during the season.

If you don't want to drive to much we have great public transport system all along the beaches from Clearwater to St Petersburg beach you can hop on and off the Jolly Trolley street car, low price single fares or weekly can be purchased. Trolley stops right in front of The Happy Fiddler.

Wonderful Beach Vacation

This condo had everything we needed for the perfect beach vacation. The location was excellent for our family of 5 to enjoy the sun, sand, and pool with all the comforts of home. Darren was a gracious host and so easy to work with. We hope to return to Indian Rocks Beach in the future and would absolutely stay here again!

Checks ALL the boxes

We were so worried we wouldn't be able to stay at the condo we'd booked because of the recent hurricanes, but Darren went above and beyond to make sure the property was safe and welcoming. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and it's clear he takes great pride in how well maintained his condo is. In fact it was the most well stocked condo we've ever stayed in, even down to chip clips and cozy blankets (which we appreciated as it was cold!) The location is AMAZING, so close to the beach as well as local restaurants. Easy to walk to whatever you may need. We saw some lovely sunrises and beautiful sunsets. Hopefully we'll be able to stay at Darren's again sometime in the near future

Loved this condo!

The property owner couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave suggestions for restaurants and activities in the area, which are numerous. He was always accessible and friendly. There are beautiful views from the balcony, comfy furniture, and a well equipped kitchen in the event you want to eat in. We are already planning a return trip to this condo, hopefully for longer than a week this time!

The Unit we stayed in at the Fiddler on the Beach was great!! We had an awesome time with beautiful views of the beach! Was located close to everything. The unit was clean, well maintained and perfect for a family with kids as it was not too fancy! We had a great time and look forward to going back again!! The owners were great to work with.

Tampa Area Fun

The condo was just as listed with a great view of the beach in a great location. It was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable but the pillows were a little firm for our taste. We used both grills during our stay and both were serviceable, but the burner tubes never fully lit in both grills. Still managed to make steaks for a non-traditional Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed our visit and would stay here again if our travels brought us here again.

Beautiful

This condo was excellent! Beautifully decorated and cozy…. Direct ocean front and beautiful views! The owners really thought of all the “extras” for their guests…Only issue we had (which really wasn’t an issue)was the water pressure in the shower wasn’t great… we have been coming to this area a couple years now and love it! So laid back and low key(which we love) We loved this condo and the convenience of the location and the area so much we already booked for next year!!!

Great condo!

I have stayed in other units at the Fiddler over the years and this is the best. The unit is inviting and very comfortable - especially the beds! The kitchen is fully stocked with dinnerware and cooking supplies and the living room features ample seating and a flat screen TV with cable. The place is furnished with vacationers in mind and was spotless when we arrived. This might seem like a small detail but both closets had more than enough coat hangers for our clothes (this rarely happens in beach rentals). I bring this up as just one example of the owners' attention to detail and concern for the comfort and convenience of guests. Oh and the view is fantastic from the balcony. Thanks for great stay.
