About this property

Boutique Oceanfront Townhouse in the Quaint & Peaceful Narrows of IRB

Enjoy incredible, unobstructed beach AND intracoastal views in this direct beachfront property that is the definition of "toes in the sand!"

Located in a small, boutique resort surrounded by nothing but the white sugar sand beach to the rear and the gorgeous intracoastal to the front, this highly desired location along a two-lane section of Gulf Blvd (locally called as "The Narrows") is rare and well-known for being quiet and relaxing. No other buildings/parking across Gulf Blvd also means little to no foot traffic on the beach side, creating a very private feel. Nestled between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach the community of Indian Rocks Beach is unique, with a lot of old school charm and small-town atmosphere but none of the big box stores, fast food chains or typical Spring Break crowds. In short, it is a vacation paradise!

The townhouse itself is comfortable, with an open plan kitchen featuring Bosch stainless appliances (including ice/water dispenser), as well as marble kitchen countertops that extend into the dining room to include a wet bar and breakfast bar seating.

The spacious living room opens to a balcony with unobstructed pool and beach views. The softly lit pool at night casts an enchanting blue glow that makes evenings on the balcony oh-so inviting. A second, full bath completes the first floor.

Just upstairs the primary bedroom has a spacious king bed and enjoys the same panoramic, unobstructed beach/Gulf views as the living room. The guest bedroom has one queen and one full bed, and direct views of the intracoastal waterway where small cruiser boats and dolphins regularly pass by.

The upstairs bathroom features custom granite, double sinks and a 10-jet Jacuzzi tub with a built-in water heater. 2 large linen closets house extra plush bath and beach towels. While both bedrooms access the upstairs bath ("Jack & Jill" style), it can also be locked for exclusive use from the primary bedroom if desired.

This townhouse is on the 2nd and 3rd floor of a small, four story boutique resort with less than 30 rental units that is directly on the beach. Amenities include private parking, a large, heated pool with no access from the street, a private, 70-foot fishing dock on the intracoastal, two large gas BBQ grills, private manicured grounds, and two outdoor showers.

Most notably: there is a lovely on-site management and maintenance team for any emergency or non-emergency issues that come up, a rarity at vacation condo buildings along the Gulf.

We love this place and look forward to sharing that love with you as our guest!

Great Experience - Highly Recommend

Owners of the property were a joy to work with. Excellent communication and wonderful people.Never interacted directly with the Property Manager, but the one request we made for a vacuum cleaner, was actually addressed by sending someone to vacuum the areas we needed cleaned. Very happy with that experience.The Condo itself was very nice with beautiful views and directly on the beach. I highly recommend this property, the ownership and the property management!!!

Beautiful spot on the beach

This is a well kept older building, smaller than the huge complexes in other areas. The building, pool and grounds are very nice and the beach is right there and wasn't crowded. Property managers were on site and really care that things are nice and you enjoy your stay. We'd stay here again.

great location, nice people

Enjoyed our stay very much. The beach and pool were wonderful. Cheryl & Luke were very responsive to our needs. The unit needs a little updating. TV/cable issues a few times. One of the beach chairs was rusted and broken, so I bought a used one to leave so there would be two. No handbook or reference guide to show how to connect to internet (the VRBO provided instructions didn't work). Overall, though, we were very pleased and enjoyed the week tremendously.

Paradise on the Gulf

This is our second year staying in this particular unit. It was just as magnificent as last year. The condo is impeccably clean, the appliances are great, the wet bar is such a nice amenity, and the view out of the sliding doors is second to none. Our routine upon arrival, as we have been visiting the Happy Fiddler for more than 14 years, is to go straight to the back and open the doors to feel the breeze and hear the Gulf. The property management team on site is a joy to work with and very accommodating and the Fiddler is in such a great location between the Gulf and the bay. We were able to walk to many different restaurants from the condo. We will be back next year and for years to come!

Great for families

Found this property because my in-laws live nearby in Largo. It was a perfect meeting place for us all. My family got to experience being right next to the beach... Something my 3-year-olds loved. My in-laws were our daily guests which was something they loved. The pool was warm and we used it frequently. There were chairs by the pool, but also beach chairs for us to use. The beach also seemed somewhat private. Perhaps less use is a better word? So there was plenty of room on the beach. We didn't have a car, because my in-laws picked us up from the airport and brought us here. We thought we would use the trolley often. But what ended up happening was we would just walk to the nearby restaurants, CVS & beach store. Other times we used delivery services to bring us alcohol & food when needed. The property was well kept and it was convenient having our door right by the elevator for this particular unit. This was a two-story condo and the stairs were very easy to climb for my father who was also with us. I can't compare this to a hotel. Hotels are just fancier. But this place was clean and reasonably priced and provided everything we needed for a memorable vacation. If given the opportunity next year, we will definitely come back again. Thanks again for having us. 👍

Not as depicted! Poorly designed and dirty.

The unit on the surface appeared clean but floors were filthy and we had to keep shoes on the entire time to avoid nasty feet (that was before stepping outside on day 1) Kitchen is laid out weird with a ton of locked cabinets and mixed and dirty dishes. No pantry space for your own stuff but tons of leftover stuff from others which I personally in this day and time did not want. Drawers had not been cleaned and had leftover Qtips and dental pics in them. I don’t want to see other renters stuff Bench to table was almost broken and it is a matter of time before some goes through that ikea style bench The linens were gross (our set had hair and a blood spot on them and literally looked like our bed had been slept in) so we all went out before night 1 and purchased new sheet sets and comforters. Why did we not call to report? Because I don’t know that I would have trusted the replacements. I only give one chance with linens as I feel they should have been checked thoroughly. I can forgive some spatulas or pans or low quality stuff there but my bed needs to be clean. It wasn’t even comfortable. On a positive, the pool was great and beach access was nice and other tenants were friendly. I would just never stay in this unit again.

Location for sunsets were the best!

We loved the location of this property and had a great stay for the week. There was a few minor things that need attention. 1. The pots and pans need replacing ASAP . You literally can't cook a egg with the pans as they are warped and won't sit on the burner correctly . They are scratched all over and for us we decided to call door dash for all of our meals as we were not going to buy pans. 2. In the description of the property it says beach chairs, umbrella and sand toys provided. This is false. Bring your umbrella , chairs and toys. There is not a umbrella. We contacted the owner and was told it is a liability to have it there and that if we bought one to not leave it. (we did buy one). The chairs provided are what we call "soccer chairs" they sit high and come in the bag. No toys are provided. We picked this property so we would not have to bring all of ours from home. To the owner you may want to update your description of the property and adjust this. The location is PERFECT, The house was overall clean except dirty socks under the bed we pulled out when we plugged in our cell charger. No biggie with that we just threw them out and went about our night. The pool at this property was immaculate. The management does a great job with the landscaping and care of this property. We really are not picky but just wanted to let people know what our experience was. Oh the view from the balcony is worth 10 stars!!!

Great location for relaxation

Overall our stay at this unit in the Happy Fiddler was good. You cannot beat the location of this complex if you are looking to be in a less populated area. The ocean front views from the bedroom and living room/balcony are a nice bonus. The unit overall was clean when we arrived. I do agree with previous comments that the furniture, paint and nit picky details could be better/updated. Everything that was previously broken was "fixed" whether it was the right way or not. But, when you are literal steps away from the beach that's where we spent most of our time. The pool is also a nice feature which the managers do a fabulous job keeping clean along with the rest of the grounds. We would definitely stay at the Happy Fiddler again.

Vacation

This our second time staying in this condo. It is clean and well appointed. The beds are comfortable and it is located on a quiet stretch of beach. The fishing dock across the street on the Intercoastal is nice. The owners are very easy to work with and the fact that it is close to the elevator makes it very accessible. It is right over the pool but people are not permitted to be noisy so it is not a problem. This is a very nice condo.

Great location and building

The location and complex facilities are first rate. Right on the beach, great pool, good sized bedrooms. Kitchen is oddly designed which makes it difficult to stock and use cutlery, pots etc and kitchen could use more kid stuff and utensils but overall the Condo was excellent and everything is well maintained.

Beautiful place

This was a great place to stay for a week! Great location, quiet and quaint. The only negative I have is the sliding doors were broken so they never closed all the way and the a/c was capped at 72, meaning, it was hot all the time because the door wouldn’t close. Other than that, the place was wonderful and I would totally stay there again!

We loved our stay in this lovely townhouse. The location is perfect, just steps to the beach with a beautiful view from the balcony. The unit is comfortable and with 4 adults plus a child we felt we had loads of room. The hosts were great, super responsive and the couple who property manage it (Cheryl & Luke) are simply amazing - so kind, helpful and welcoming and keep the pool pristine and the property in great shape.

Breathtaking views, clean and comfortable - a perfect place to relax!

This property was incredible. Every inch was clean, the beds were comfortable and the view was incredible. The heated pool was also very clean. The property managers were attentive and accessible. Walk to the low-key main strip on the street or via the beach with multiple access points. The beach was never crowded even with 80 degree weather and sunshine during our kids spring break from school. A 5 minute drive to town provides anything you could ever need (groceries, more restaurants, etc.). This property provided us with a gorgeous way to relax and enjoy swimming in the sun after a long winter. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!

This property is tucked away in a beautiful location called the Narrows. The Gulf of Mexico is steps away from the pool. White sand beaches everywhere are great for those morning strolls. And even more is the great view of the intercoastal watery way from the second bedroom! Onsite managers , Luke aand Cheryl, are very welcoming and wonderful helping out with our questions. Property owners always responded throughout the booking process. Would we return? Absolutely!

This was a perfect getaway location!

We booked this for our 30th wedding anniversary. The description of the property perfectly described what we were looking for and we were not disappointed! Right on the beach and with a pool, and the décor was just the right amount of beachy! There were fun restaurants within walking distance with live music and dancing, and a beach trolley if we wanted to adventure out further. We did not rent a car and had no problem getting around, even had groceries delivered. We just loved watching the dolphins in the morning while we enjoyed our coffee on the deck and listening to the surf as we fell asleep each night. This condo and location was just perfect and just what we needed. Erik and Michele H.
