About this property

5 STAR CUSTOM BEACH CONDO, ACROSS FROM WHITE POWDER BEACH!

This Island Beach Condo is a Five Star, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, beach condo across the street from Indian Rocks Beach (IRB). A 2 1/2 minute walk from either the front or back door to gorgeous white powdery sand and the blue waters of the Gulf. IRB is a 3 mile stretch of beach which is located just a few miles south of Clearwater Beach (which is rated the #1 beach in the US for 2018 & 2019), but IRB does not have any of the crazy touristy-ness of Clearwater Beach. Unlike Clearwater beach, which is a tourist destination, IRB is a residential community. There are no hotels located on the beach; it's a quiet island beach community, away from all of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to Clearwater if you want to hang out with the crowds. Wake up in this beautifully decorated beach condo and walk across the street to the beach and press your restart button, sit on the beach, take a dip in the ocean, collect shells, watch the birds and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets.

This updated beach condo has a new updated kitchen with quartz counter top and stainless appliances, new bathroom, new furniture, new mattresses, new window treatments, fresh linens & towels and professionally decorated and brand new LG Washer/Dryer Tower for your convenience. This is a ground floor (single level) corner unit, with a front and back door. The back door has an area to hang beach towels and leave beach equipment. There is also a small deck with 2 chairs and a table for having your morning coffee or afternoon drink. This single level beach condo in a quiet area, 5 blocks from the heart of downtown IRB. You can walk to good restaurants in all price ranges, no chain or franchise restaurants only local eateries, many family owned for 25+ years like: Crabby Bills, Keegan's Seafood Grill, PJ’s Oyster Bar, Guppy's, Kooky Coconut, Pajano's Pizza & Famous Subs, Salt Public House, Pinky's Ice Cream & Candy Shop, TJ's Italian Cafe, Casa Italia Restaurant, Cafe De Paris Bakery, Jake's Coastal Cantina, Tropical Ice Cream, Slyce (Pizza) and more. You'll have many food choices: Seafood, Italian, Mexican, Pizza, Chinese, Bakery, Burgers, Ice Cream, & Cuban food and many within walking distance.

Right next door to this beach condo is the IRB Nature Preserve. You can enjoy this 9.3 acre wildlife habitat preserve - featuring wildlife habitat, native vegetation, wetlands & educational boardwalk.

Rent this beach condo that is beautifully decorated and steps away from the beach! You will fall in love with the beach, the solitude, the town and the condo.

Amazing Place!

The house was just as described! It had absolutely everything we needed. Cheryl communicated well and checked in to be sure all was well. The proximity to the beach was another highlight. If we're ever back in the area, I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great Place with Grear Location

First, communication was top notch. Cheryl proactively texted us in advance with everything we needed to access the unit. We had a late arrival and we got in smoothly. This 2BR unit is in excellent shape and it appears the entire unit was remodeled recently. High quality materials throughout. We liked the little touches, like the wagon with beach chairs and towels. Place also was very clean. We literally had to just cross Gulf Boulevard to get to the beach in 2-3 minutes, which was fantastic. It was a great stay for us, and we were happy to be in a nice place with such a great location.

Perfect Gem of Indian Rocks Beach

A comfortable condo for a family of four. The owner has thought of everything anybody would need. Also very helpful and easy to get a hold of. Close walk to the beach makes it great for a no rush vacation. Thanks for sharing your home with us CB.

Cozy Villa Steps from the Beach

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this cozy, fully furnished villa which was just steps from the beach. The queen bed was very comfortable and so was the living room furniture. We were pleasantly surprised at all of the amenities provided for our stay. One can tell from the moment you walk into this villa that the host takes great pride in their property. The entire villa was very clean and so comfortable. The host was very pleasant during all communications. I would highly recommend this beautiful property.

Exactly as Advertised

This is a very nice vacation condo. It looks exactly as it appears in the pictures. The location was perfect for us. Beach access is directly across the street, two minutes away, and multiple restaurants are within walking distance. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the condo was clean and well stocked with just about everything needed. The property manager was very friendly and accessible, just a text away. We are in this area at least once a year and would definitely like to stay here again.

IRB

Excellent property, a little farther from the beach than I expected. Lots of rules, especially for departure. I have never used VRBO before, so I did not know that there would be a separate cleaning fee, even though we stripped the beds, cleaned the shower and took out the garbage/recycling. The owner, Cheryl, was delightful and easy to communicate with.

Excellent vacation

Cheryl has thought about everything carefully and provided everything you need as a guest on holiday. The Condo is brilliant and couldn’t be in a better location, with a 2 minute stroll to the beach. The beach equipment provided is a great idea and we used it most days. The neighbours to the condo are lovely people aswell, all very welcoming. All in all we couldn’t recommend it highly enough and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, everything has been done to a high standard including the appliances and the shower had great pressure aswell. Thank you Cheryl

Very clean

Property was very clean. Lots of extras provided. There isn’t anything negative to say about our experience here. The one thing I would like to see and this is the same at all beach condos we have stayed, is I would like better beach chairs provided. They are always too small and sit very close to the ground.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Buchen

Why they chose this property

After many trips to this area, looking at many condos, most in high rise buildings, we fell in love with this condo the minute we set our eyes on it. The property is laid back and relaxing which makes it very desirable. This Beach Condo is only 1 of 12 ground level units (and only 1 of 3, 2 bedroom units) at the Spanish II Villas, a quiet, small development. Spanish II Villas is located on the corner of 10th Avenue & Gulf Blvd. Your parking space is right in front of the condo. Once you leave the unit you will step only a few hundred feet to cross Gulf Blvd and the 10th Ave Beach access is right there. Even the beach access is amazing where you will walk through a maze of tropical palm trees; you'll be on the beach in less than 2 1/2 minutes, from walking out the back door of this beach condo to stepping foot in white powdery sand and gazing at the Gulf of Mexico!

What makes this property unique

THE BEST PART ABOUT OUR BEACH CONDO IS THE BEACH!!! Our condo is a 2 1/2 minute walk to the beach. You literally walk out the door, go to the corner, cross Gulf Blvd., and the 10th Avenue beach walking path is right there. Roll out of bed, grab a cup of coffee and walk on the beach!. Then during the day, we walk home for lunch or little breaks and leave our chairs and towels on the beach... it's that close. Our beach condo is also newly renovated, beautifully decorated, comfortable, with a brand new spa bathroom. The unit is very quiet. There has actually been a storm raging outside and I didn't hear it at all. The condo has new furnishings, new window treatments and new stainless steel Samsung kitchen appliances. New LG washer/dryer tower installed 9/2021 for your convenience. There are ceiling fans in every room. The unit has central air conditioning and heat. You have 1 parking space which is right in front of the condo. The condo is ground floor with direct access from the street and parking space. It is 5 blocks from the center of town, which on really busy days, during the season, is nice because you are close enough to walk and far enough away that you escape all the touristy noise! You will LOVE this condo!!!
