Why Kids Love It
THE BEACH
Area Information
Gulf Blvd runs the length of the barrier island from Clearwater Beach to St Pete’s Beach, about 30 miles. It is dotted with one beach town after the other. The best kept secret is the beach trolley. You may pay one fare and ride all day.
You can visit the Sea Bird Sanctuary, John’s Pass,the galleries in Pass-A Grille and stop for lunch at the Don CeSar Hotel. Then head north to Clearwater Beach and catch sunset at pier 60. Most evenings you will want to watch sunset from right here at 410 Gulf Blvd while sitting on the couch, the porch or at the water’s edge.
Some people plan to visit Busch Gardens in Tampa or spend a day in Orlando, but many times they end up just sitting on the porch or the beach with a good book. The condo library has several books titled “One Tank Trips” They were put together by a local TV station and are filled with wonders to visit that are close by.
Guests are encouraged to walk over to the Indian Rocks Museum in Chief Chic-A-Si Park. It is housed in a former beach cottage donated to the city. Admission is free, it is staffed by volunteers Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Check the Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) online calendar if you want to visit during a city wide festival.
Indian Rocks Beach is small town America. There is a lot of community spirit and the people are happy to be here whether to live or vacation.
If you visit Saint Petersburg for the fancy water front shops and museums be sure to visit the funky part of Central Avenue. You can spend an hour creating a wine glass or a clay bowl. You should visit Haslams Book Store and eat at the Berg nearby. Mama cooks a wonderful Greek salad with potato salad in the middle and her lemon chicken soup is perfection.
There are many more wonderful things to see, taste and do but some folks only leave the beach to charter a fishing boat. Crabby Bill’s will cook your catch any way you want it.

Shack on the Sand was magical. The poetry around the condo was inspiring. We spent our days walking the beach looking for shells, visiting with locals and visitors, and watching sunsets.

Host response
“Thank you for your enthusiasm. I am so happy that you enjoyed the writings left by other guests. I am glad that you took the time to write a review. It sounds as if you took perfect advantage of your stay. Ann”

The cottage is right on the beach, walk out bare foot and walk until your heart is content. Sit on the deck or in the living area with the doors open and breath in the gorgeous breeze from the direct ocean. The water is calm and perfect for swimming or lounging in the ocean. Get breakfast within walking distance at any number of cafes or restaurants. It’s a quaint little romantic and popular place with wonderful food, restaurants and shopping. Feels like a tropical oasis. The accommodation is comfortable, everything you need in comfort. Highly recommended.
