ON THE BEACH COZY CONDO, OCEAN VIEWS, STEPS FROM THE WATER, AT THE HEART OF IRB

***IMPORTANT UPDATES***

* Please be aware that Pinellas County is making important improvements to our beaches this fall. Work has begun in Indian Rocks Beach on Nov. 4th, and it is expected to take approximately 2 weeks. Some beach access points may be temporarily closed and equipment or noise may be present during this work. For the latest updates on open access points, visit the Pinellas County website: https://pinellas.gov/projects/2025-pinellas-county-beach-nourishment-project/.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Thank you for your understanding as our community works to restore and enhance the shoreline after last year’s hurricanes.

* AS PER CITY ORDINANCE, ALL SHORT TERM RENTAL GUESTS MUST ACKNOWLEDGE AND ABIDE BY THE OWNER'S (AND GUEST'S) CODE OF CONDUCT AND RULES (Please read fully at the end of the listing description). There will also be a printed copy of these documents in the condo for your perusal once you check-in. Thank you for helping us comply with City licensing and registration requirements.


LOOKING FOR the perfect setting for a memorable vacation with family or friends? Look no more! This is a fabulous family-friendly condo that is part of a small beach front community of only 7 units, so no crowded, noisy beaches. Our space does not directly overlook the Gulf of Mexico, but DOES offer a nice glimpse of it from the balcony. The unit is one floor above the parking garage and you will get to the condo by walking up stairs (around 15 steps). The stairs are a little steep, which is something to consider when carrying large/bulky luggage or for people with limited mobility. NO ELEVATOR, sorry!

Once you are parked the beach life really begins. Parking space is a hot commodity on the beach, but this unit has one assigned spot. In full disclosure, some people find it tight, but it is big enough to fit an SUV. A bit of maneuvering or backing up into the parking spot may be necessary depending on your vehicle's size. There is also one guest parking spot between the two buildings in the property, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Restaurants and bars are within walking distance, so no need to move your vehicle frequently while you are here!

This updated unit offers an inviting and practical open-floor plan. The living room has a sofa and love seat, and a smart TV loaded with streaming apps. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances, and furnishings you may need to cook. The cozy master bedroom suite has a full bathroom, closet space, a queen size bed, a spare bed, and a smart TV. The second bedroom includes two twin beds, smart TV, and additional closet space.

The amenities in the community include a small but relaxing pool, lounge chairs, a fridge to keep your drinks handy, and a grill for barbecuing if you so desire! Since this is a very small community, you only share amenities with a few people. Some days, the pool may be just for you to enjoy. Please note that we do provide beach/pool towels for our guests as well!

We fell in love with this condo when we first saw it. It was our dream come true. Not an ultra modern, luxurious, resort, family-friendly, unbeatable location, literally steps from the beach. We are a local family, not a managing company, with young kiddos who LOVE the water, and we can honestly say that our beach condo is located in a unique, low-key spot to relax, play, and enjoy some of the best sunsets Florida has to offer. Come visit!

Absolutely perfect

This place was perfect for our family. The location was amazing (literally in walking distance to some of the best restaurants), the beach is calm and relaxing (and quiet!) and the condo itself is gorgeous, spotless, and had everything we could need. We are already talking about another trip. We did not want to leave!

Excellent!

This property is perfect! The location was perfect! It is great that there is a private pool just for the people staying in the condos, and it is literally steps away from the beach and Gulf of Mexico. The property is very clean and had all the amenities you need! A ton of restaurants are with in walking distance. John's Pass is about 15 minutes away. Great location...Will definitely be back!!

Office Staff Getaway

This was a trip I organized to say "thank you" to the all-female staff of my CPA office. We had a wonderful time at this property. It was perfect for the 5 of us (2 in each bedroom and 1 on the couch). Having been to IRB before, I knew the location was perfect for getting to the restaurants and activities we had planned. We couldn't have asked for anything more in a property. I will definitely add this to my "Perfect Places To Stay" in IRB!

Great Trip

What a great place. Super clean and updated. We love the area because you can walk to anything you need. Esteban was quick to answer any questions we had and accomodated our requests. Although we didn't use them, there was a pop up play pen and kids toys in the spare bedroom closet. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas in the storage closet as well. We look forward to returning.

Great condo just steps away from the beach.

Perfect spot for a family vacation. The condo has everything you will need. We found the washer/dryer extremely handy with 3 kids. Nice furnishings and everything is well kept. The owners are extremely good at communicating with their renters and were even willing to check with their neighbors on availability for next year. You can park your car in your private parking spot and walk to a variety of restaurants. There is easy access to both the pool and the beach. You can't go wrong booking here for your next vacation.

Great time at Heavenly Hideaway

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Heavenly Hideaway. This was our 2nd stay at this property (different condo). The beach is was great and so convenient to the condo as well as the pool. The kids brought their own boogie boards and toys but there were plenty of "community" boards/balls/toys available. Everythign is within walking distance such as restaurants, bars, stored, surf shops, etc. We love the fact that there is a CVS store right across the street. Linda was great to work with and we will definitely be back!

Highly Recommend

Great vacation spot for our 16 month old! Quite location with low traffic. Great for young families. Beautiful beach, pool, and rental! I got confused about the code to get in, but Linda responded quickly to help. There is one covered parking spot, which is nice. The parking space felt tight and would make us question bringing a full sized SUV or truck. Thank you to the Millers!

Girls Trip

Five ladies over 40 enjoyed a long weekend on the beach. Everything was wonderful. The stairs leading up to the condo were a great lil workout for some of us! So many awesome beach accessories for us to use. We weren’t missing anything. There were several restaurants, bars, and a CVS a quick walk away. The pool wasn’t huge, but we basically had it to ourselves. The beach was amazing, clean, and lots of chairs available! Highly recommend for a laid back beach vacation.

This condo is complete perfection and more than we hoped for! It fit my family of 6 fabulously, was spotless, and filled with all the essentials. Just steps away from the beach and we spent a ton of time in the pool. Steve and Linda had quick and clear communication which was so nice! We don’t travel often but I’m certain we will come back here!

Clean, Nicely decorated, Conveniant, Fairly priced.

The condo was very clean. There weren't any needs not met by the well equipped kitchen. The condo is in walking distance to many restaurants and sits directly across the road from a great place to start your day with a fresh apple fritter. The pool is nicely equipped with lounged chairs and a shuffle board. The beach is only steps away. We would definently stay here again and may very well do it next year. My only complaint would be the pillows provided for the bedding need to be replaced but other than that this place is a winner.

We loved the location of the property and the amenities provided. We did not enjoy the neighbors above us. Kids were running the entire time and it is very noisy for this unit. We also didn’t like the fact we couldn’t cool the condo below 74 degrees. After being in the sun it was not comfortable sleeping at night even with fans going. On our last day we had water dripping into the master bedroom from the ceiling. The dryer does not dry very well. Our laundry had to be set to 60 minutes and ran two cycles. Our stay would have been more enjoyable had the guests above us been more mindful. This property manager did reach out to the other owner but it did not resolve the issue.

Wonderful place

Our family, including two boys ages 3 and 4, stayed here for 5 nights and loved this condo. We especially appreciate the family-friendly touches such as kids’ books in the TV armoire, a step stool in the bathroom, and plastic plates and utensils. Yes, the parking spot is tight as advertised, but in a great location as it is right next to the unit stairs. The pool was nice and we spent a lot of time here too. Coco’s is a great restaurant for kiddos and we also visited Tropical Creamery for ice cream! This complex is small, simple, and had everything we needed and for family that cooks most of our meals, we also found this particular unit well stocked. All windows had blinds but we’d have loved curtains in addition to also keep it cool and dark, especially at night, and a storage shelf would’ve been helpful in the master bathroom shower. These are just small suggestions as we really enjoyed this place and hope to be back!

Fabulous Home away from Home

Cannot say enough about our fabulous 3 month stay. We had stayed for 3 months last year and loved it so we could not wait to return this year. As before, the unit was pristine and well equipped. We had travelled from Toronto which is quite far so it was really nice to find everything we needed when we arrived. The location is absolutely perfect as well. Despite being one building back from the beach, we had a clear view of the Gulf and the stunningly beautiful sunsets. The pool was well maintained as was the property itself. Owners are great too and very responsive. They always got back to us very promptly if we had any questions. We had a wonderful time during our stay. There is so much to do and see in Indian Rocks and the surrounding area as well as great restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Fabulous location, fabulous condo, fabulous experience!
