Best Location 2 - In the Heart of IRB - Close to Everything and the Beach

PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND DISINFECTED WITH MEDICLEAN BY MICROBAN (HOSPITAL-GRADE DISINFECTANT) AFTER EVERY GUEST.

Welcome to our beautiful beach house! This is a newly renovated, two-suite duplex house on stilts. There is one apartment in the front and one in the back of the property, each with a wrap-around deck so you may enjoy the sea breeze. The location is right across the street from the beach and beach access.

We are right next to four restaurants: TJ's Italian Cafe, Keegans Seafood Grill, Chicago Jaqx Pizzeria, and Guppy's. We are directly across the street from tennis courts and a park with children's playground. Many shops are nearby, ranging from boutiques to bait shops. Bicycle rental shop is within walking distance. Hairdresser and masseuse are also close by.

Our ideal location allows quick and easy walking access to the beach, restaurants, shops, tennis / pickleball courts, and fishing spots! We take pride in having immaculate apartments that are exquisitely clean, comfortable, tastefully furnished, have plenty of covered parking and a large wrap-around deck to relax on. Life's a beach when you stay with us!

The apartment suite has two bedrooms with queen size beds, plus one bathroom, a living room with a queen sleeper sofa, dining area with seating for six, and a full kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave oven, coffeemaker, and all the utensils you will need for cooking.

Outside, there is a wraparound walkway with a large deck for each apartment. There is plenty of covered parking under the building. The washer and dryer are in the laundry room downstairs.

Beach boogie boards, beach umbrella, and beach chairs are available for use. We supply a set of beach towels. We also have a few beach toys for small children and one Pack n' Play for those travelling with infants (on-request).

Please send a message about your desired dates even if they show as "booked" on the calendar as we may have availability in our other properties.

We are confident that you will love it here! Email us with any questions you may have about our property or the area - we are happy to help and excited for you to see the beautiful shores of Indian Rocks Beach from the best location. Feel free to contact us and ask away.

Thank you for looking at our listing. We hope you make lasting, happy memories in our beach house for years to come!

ABOUT THE AREA (INDIAN ROCKS BEACH - BELLEAIR BEACH - CLEARWATER BEACH)

You'll probably want a rental car, so you can access the many points of interest nearby - Clearwater Beach, Tarpon Springs, Anna Maria Island, Honeymoon Island, or go grocery shopping in nearby Largo or Belleair Bluffs, (5 minutes drive). There is the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, half an hour away, if you have a rainy day, or check out the Aquarium in Clearwater, where the famous dolphin Winter lives, who was made famous in the movie and sequel Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale Two. Book boat trips, deep sea fishing, parasailing, and sunset cruises in Clearwater Beach, Pier 60; 10 minutes drive. Just a little further is Tampa - 30 minutes drive, Busch Gardens - 40 - 45 minutes, Disney, Universal, and Sea World - 1.5 hours.

There is excellent golfing at the Belleview Biltmore, just a couple of miles away on the mainland, as well as at many other golf courses in the area.

We are located on a barrier island, which is narrow, but very long. There are public trolleys which run up and down the main road which cost $2.00 per ride or unlimited daily riding for $4.50 per person. On one side is the intercoastal waterway and on the other side is the Gulf of Mexico with beautiful beaches, palm trees, exotic birds. and stunning sunsets. The island has bridges to the mainland close by. We also have sea turtles nesting on our beach.

The beach is great for swimming, kayaking, and wildlife watching. You can see a variety of birds - pelicans, seagulls, herons, and egrets. If you keep an eye out on the ocean, you can see the dolphins swim by in groups of two to five.

A car is recommended but not required. Beach trolley buses run about every 30 minutes and you can go from Clearwater Beach to the north all the way to Pass-a-Grille in the south, and back.

If the dates you want show as booked on the calendar please send us an inquiry because we might have availability in the second identical apartment. 031823

Relaxing Getaway
Our family of 4 really enjoyed this rental. We were very familiar with the area, so knew this would be a great location. Short walk to the beach, restaurants, ice-cream, shops, etc. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The availability of a wagon and beach gear was definitely a plus. The pickleball and softball across the street provided some entertainment while relaxing on the large patio. There was never a point that it was loud or annoying. The beds and furniture were comfortable. We didn't use the washer/dryer that is on the ground floor, so can't speak to that. The owner Vadim was very responsive and helpful. The check-in/out process was seamless and loved not having to carry a key around due to the electronic door locks. Overall, definitely would stay again.

Wonderful, spacious and relaxing!
The property was roomy and cozy. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the porch watching the pickleball across the street. It was great to have beach accessories available downstairs; the only problem was that most of the umbrellas were broken. We found one that was good but not a base that matched it. All else was excellent!

Vadim's duplex is wonderful for a small family. Great location 2 block from the beach, across the street from a city park with pickle ball, softball and a playground. Walkable to several really outstanding restaurants yet quiet enough to be away from the noise. The property itself was spotless and included everything we needed for a long weekend away. We will be back and I've already recommended it to friends and family.

This property is everything we needed - great location, clean, great amenities. We loved having access to beach accessories (towels, chairs, umbrellas) and the beach is a very short walk away. Check-in/out was super easy. We loved the pickleball courts right across the street. I would highly recommend this property!

Clean, great location but....
The property is really cute and the street is very nice. There were many plusses, but the fact that i was woken up Sunday and there was clearly some kind of animal in the wall ór a bird with very loud pecking keeping me awake and very uncomfortable in the space was a deal breaker. Vadim was to come and check it out and we waited for a while but didn't want to wait any more. He never offered a solution or compensation for being kept awake. That was disappointedly why i would not stay here again. Hopefully the house is not compromised too much from whatever was in the wall. It was no one's fault this happened, but the way it was dealt with was disappointing.

This is our first time visiting IRB. The property is close to just about everything -- beach, restaurants, playground. Publix is a short drive over the bridge. I like that the town is not crowded with visitors but still close enough to Clearwater and St Pete Beaches if you are looking for more things to do. We enjoyed our stay and plan to come back.
