We have been renting condo's in Florida yearly since 1998 and were impressed with how clean the unit is and how welcoming it is for renter's. We hope to carry on this tradition. We take extra effort to make this a place that we would want to rent.

Perfect place to have everything you need! We met together from three states to enjoy the sun, beach and spending time together with our family. The condo was well stocked in the kitchen, had plenty of towels, beach towels (and beach toys), games, puzzles, heated pool and hot tub overlooking the Gulf, and front row seat to beautiful sunsets!Debbie was quick to respond and did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable.We would love to return!

It was amazing. They should actually redo their pics for the Verbo account because it was nicer than we even expected it to be really nice for a very good affordable price right on the beach just like they said.

Indian Rocks Beach

This condo is in a great location with easy access to multiple restaurants. We saw dolphins from the balcony one morning, while having our coffee. There are so many family activities within a short drive of this condo. We visited Honeymoon Island for the first time, which has great walking trails and beaches.

Wonderful Week!

My family and I had a wonderful week staying at this property. Most anything you could possibly need was provided by the host. Great communication with quick responses to all questions we had. Beautiful views from the balcony of the beach, and the pool and hot tub were great assets ! Great location and easy to walk around the area and to get to other nearby beaches. The only downside was the beds were harder than we are used to, but I would definitely stay again!

Hidden Treasure

Nestled between Clearwater and St. Pete, this quaint hideaway was perfect for three people who were looking for a secluded beach/pool scene. Quiet nights and equally quiet afternoons spent reading in a nearly private resort were just what the doctor ordered. Combine that with a never ending selection of fabulous eating choices and you can well imagine a paradise found in few other locations. This resort will definitely have a special place in our “favorites “ file! 😎

We loved this condo! It was very comfortable, had a great central location, and had lots of extras that made our stay easier, like beach, laundry, and kitchen supplies. The beach towels were a big help too! The condo has a beautiful view from the balcony, and we really enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and beach access. We'd definitely stay again! In my daughters words, "It was very awesome and nice." Thanks for everything!

Beautiful Sunsets in a Comfortable Setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable condo. There were plenty of beach toys for the grandkids! The apartment is spacious and well equipped. The building is quiet, but near to restaurants, pharmacy, grocery store and ice cream shops. The sunsets are spectacular! The only disappointment was the pool, which was not maintained properly, and therefore we didn't use.

The perfect vacation.

Me and my family had an absolute fantastic stay here in Indian Rocks Beach. This apartment is amazing. Everything is just as nice as the pictures show. The view from the balcony is really nice looking out over the gulf of Mexico. We saw dolphins every day. The owners were very serviceminded and really made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Rasmussen for letting us stay at your beautiful place. We really hope to come back in the near future. Regards, Jani Lemmetti with family from Gothenburg Sweden.

Great Place

This was a great place to stay! Everything was as it appears on this website. Debbie and Chuck were very friendly and communicated very well. The condo had everything we needed. Pack n Play, high chair, and beach/pool toys and chairs for everyone. The condo was especially quiet. It is just outside of the touristy areas and is in a great location to some excellent restaurants. Fresh linens were ready for us when we arrived and having a washer and dryer came in handy. They provided all the necessities for what you would need. Couldn't thank them enough and I'm sure we will be back. Thanks!

Fun in the sun

This is the second year we have stayed at the condo. Our third stay is already in the books. The location and view are amazing! My friends and I enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the gulf with the sounds of the waves rolling in. Diane and Chuck’s place is clean and well appointed with everything you may possibly need. The only glitch we encountered on our trip was the elevator breaking down. Diane was very responsive and sympathetic. She kept us informed and updated throughout the repair. Aside from the elevator we had another fantastic vacation in IRB and can’t wait to return!

Summer Holiday

This condo was great, had all the amenities that you could want or need. Very much a well cared for home from home. Condo, pool and grounds well cared for and clean, with the proximity to the beach very convenient for morning runs and walks. very much a relaxing holiday and you could be as active as you wanted or needed to be. Short and easy 25 mile drive from Tampa, so convenient for theme parks etc, although we didn't take advantage of that part. Good restaurants within walking distance, and would highly recommend Guppy's and Keegans, along with Caddy's Pub and Jimmy Iguanas both a short drive away. Thanks very much for your hospitality and your prompt and helpful communications, before during and after the holiday.

Home away from home!

Great location! Away from the touristy parts, but very close and easy to get to those locations. The unit itself is the most stocked unit we have ever rented. The host has thought of absolutely everything you will or may need while staying there. From the littlest things like envelopes, cooler- including ice packs for the cooler, an air pump, extra toilet paper, bar soap, beach towels and chairs, wagon, beach accessories- I could go on and on! The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of everything. You may want to checkout the supplies before heading to the grocery store- we had several items that were taken back to Walmart due to the unit already had them. The local restaurants that are within walking distance are very good! Groupers has a delicious Cuban sandwich and the grouper sandwich is quite yummy too! The suncoast trolley is very easy to use and runs right infront of the building with the trolley stops to either side of the buildings. The only thing that is in need of attention is the living room couch and recliner, they are quite worn . Other than that, we really enjoyed our time at this unit and would highly recommend it!

Best Stay

This vacation was all about the location and this property did not disappoint. So much to do within walking distance of the condo, aside from the ocean, but the ocean was the best part. The top floor view was amazing and the price was well worth what we got. Definitely plan to come again.

Great Location with everything you need

We very much enjoyed our trip to Indian Rocks and our stay at Sandcastle North. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for the week including great beach chairs and a wagon to get everything to and from the beach. We appreciated all the extras in the condo. The only thing I struggled with was the firmness of the beds, but that did not take away from how much we enjoyed our the condo, location and easy walking to lots of restruants.

Amazing vacation

Our family of 3 adults and 3 children had an amazing time. The views were spectacular and the convenience to everything you could ever need was so nice. The place had absolutely everything you could ever need from extra towels to toiletries and all kitchen necessities. They went all out in this slice of heaven. We already booked next year’s vacation here. Debbie and Chuck were excellent hosts and checkin and checkout were very easy. We really appreciated all the beach toys and umbrellas with a wagon to get them to the beach. Pool and hot tub were a plus too. Met great people at the complex too including a Raiders rookie! Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful condo in little slice of paradise

I cannot say enough good things about Debbie and Chuck's condo. The condo sits in a quiet area with a convenient store, Pajano's pizza and Indian Rocks Beach Creamery right across the street. The ground level has 1 assigned parking spot for the unit. This was very convenient and kept the car cool. Once inside, the condo is decorated beautifully, updated, and the most stocked condo i have ever seen and also immaculately clean. You can see the attention to detail with things like night lights, air fresheners and Alexa. We found plenty of kitchenware, along with cups with lids you could take onto beach, drink coozies, scissors, extra beach towels, movies, games, books, etc. It was unbelievable. One notable thing that didn't bother me, but may some people, is the master bedroom curtains are thinner and do not black out much, if any light. Once the sun comes up, it lights the room up. Likewise, the master bed was pretty firm, more than i prefer, but that's just a difference in preference. The view from the balcony was unobstructed and beautiful with seating for 6. The pool and hot tub are small and could get crowded if all 16 units were full, luckily we did not have to deal with that. The same could be said for the amount of beach space. I also found opening the condo door to be tricky. Once the code is entered, you had to push and turn the lock at the same time and i never was strong enough, or had slippery hands, and couldn't do it. Thankfully i was always with someone that could. The door also has to be locked from outside. This was the first time I'd seen a door entry this complex, but nothing to detour me from staying again. In fact, i am sure we will return in the future to Debbie and Chuck's condo. Debbie was quick to respond the couple times i texted her with questions, and even answered the phone when i called to ask about extending our stay. We really enjoyed everything! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Deborah and Chuck Rasmussen

We live in a small town in central Minnesota and hope to retire to the gulf coast some day. We love the area and have spent some time every winter on the gulf since our children were young. They are all now adults and we now have grandchildren which we enjoy taking to Florida.

Why they chose this property

Clean, attention to details that make it nice for renters. We had been renting condos in Florida by the week for several years. This is the type of condo we were always looking for

What makes this property unique

We bought unit in 2013 and every year since then we have done a major update, new flooring, new windows and patio doors, new kitchen, new laundry area.
