PRIME Oceanfront Townhouse in Indian Rocks Beach!
OCEANFRONT PARADISE AWAITS! 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!

The condo is located on an amazing beach in Indian Rocks. It's a good size and so easy to get to the beach. We enjoyed every minute.some updates are needed in the place, but overall in great condition! the property management was amazing too.
Perfect location on a quiet stretch walking distance to restaurants & fishing dock. Beautiful townhouse with balcony overlooking the white sandy beach. Everyday we enjoyed watching the dolphins and breathtaking sunsets. Looking forward to coming back!
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.
Super cute, outfitted with all the essentials and extras we needed to enjoy the beach for a week. Everything from beach chairs to plenty of wine glasses and cooking utensils; rent this condo, you'll be glad you did!!
Excellent place! I would like to come back again! Thank you! Loved it!

Beach Front access / location excellent; however the place is not as clean and modern as portrayed online.
We will be back here for sure!! Everything we needed and the location is perfect. The elevator is a bit annoying sometimes but once we learned to push it all the way shut, we had zero problems.

Hey Donna, thanks so much for the lovely five-star review. We're glad you enjoyed our place as much as we do, and please know that you're welcome to come back for another stay anytime! We look forward to (hopefully) hosting you again sometime in the not-too-distant future.
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!!!
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.
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!

Thanks so much for your kind words Brandon, we love having you as our guest and we appreciate you being so good to the place. Those beautiful Gulf sunsets hold a special place in our hearts as well. Looking forward to hosting you next year as well!
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. 👍

Make sure you read this review before booking it .
The only real positive about this property is the location—right on the beach and the pool was very clean , (the maintenance guy was cleaning it every morning.)Unfortunately, everything else was a disappointment. The house looks much better in the pictures than in reality. It was not clean when we arrived. The sheets didn’t appear to be freshly laundered, so we ended up buying our own. Thankfully, we had brought a few pillows from home, which made it more bearable.The bedroom door was difficult to open and close—you had to use force. The TV in the master bedroom is extremely outdated, and unless you travel with HDMI cables (which most people don’t anymore), it’s pretty much unusable. In this day and age, a basic smart TV with AirPlay or streaming capability costs around 100—it’s not a big upgrade, but it would make a big difference.The floors hadn’t even been swept, let alone mopped. The kitchen was lacking basic functionality—several cabinets were locked, so we had to store all our produce on the countertop. Kitchen supplies were minimal, making it nearly impossible to prepare a meal for a family.On top of that, the water heater is connected to a power saver switch, and there was barely enough hot water for one person to take a shower.We weren’t expecting luxury, but for the amount of money we paid, we did expect a decent and clean place to stay. Unfortunately, this property did not meet even those basic expectations.

Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry to hear your experience was not five-star. It was very surprising that neither we nor our on-site management team ever heard from you about any issues during your stay. Unlike many VRBO properties we are unique in that we offer on-site management and housekeeping and would have been happy to address any issues you had on day one, from the linens (which we stock plenty of) to the TV (which guests often fiddle with, a common adjustment for maintenance) to hot water (which we've never had a complaint about in over a decade of renting). We are confused about the kitchen, as none of those cabinets lock. Our family frequents the property as well, so as an owner's closet we lock a small cubby under the stairs and one drawer in our dining room sideboard, which you may be referring to. In any event, we encourage all guests to reach out immediately with issues of any kind (or simply for good breakfast recommendations!), so we do regret again that we weren't given the chance to address your concerns throughout the week. Wishing you the best in your future travels.

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.

Thanks for your feedback Tracy, we take it seriously and strive to improve our guest experience whenever we can. Your overall, deep-seated unhappiness is unfortunate, but RE: the cleaning specifically, we shared your thoughts with our housekeeping and property management teams and are reviewing their protocols. As you might imagine, they are disappointed in both your review AND in not getting the chance to see the property and address your cleanliness concerns at the time of your stay.
RE: your other thoughts... guests often leave cupboard goods behind as a thoughtful gesture for the next guest. Like them or not, gestures like this are a common part of the vacation rental experience, much like having certain closets/cabinets in the home that are locked for owner use only. To that end, we must respectfully correct your note about “a ton of locked cabinets” in the kitchen which is wrong. As for the kitchen layout, you’re free to your own opinion but again, saying it’s “not as depicted” is just false. Our kitchen is exactly as represented in our listing photos and we invite all future renters to judge for themselves from all reviews here and/or to contact us for additional photos to verify if needed.
Finally, your other comments suggesting “low quality” that you need to “forgive” (i.e. mismatched cutlery, Ikea cheap shot, etc.) are not even worth addressing here. We will just agree to disagree and instead sincerely suggest that a room at a major hotel chain would be better for your future vacation needs than a beautiful beach home where real people live. Although ironically, we DO have hotel-level management/ housekeeping services on site that, again, you could’ve immediately called on day 1 to address any cleanliness concerns. Personally, we can’t imagine not doing so, but that’s not for us to judge…our role here is to provide a great experience and we're truly sorry again that you feel you didn’t get that. Best of luck to you and to whoever hosts you next.
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!!!

Hi Nancy - we take pride in our vacation home and strive to give our guests a top-notch experience, so we apologize if it did not meet your standards. After hosting hundreds of guests over the years we haven't had any complaints about our cookware (pots/pans) or beach chairs, but one dissatisfied guest is too many so thanks for your feedback. And sorry if you came across a sock buried under the bed, we have an excellent property manager and housekeeping team who follow strict cleaning/sanitizing protocols after each guest, but clearly they missed that one.
That said, you and any other potential guests reading this should know that these are good, hard-working folks getting it done during tough times and they strive to make you feel like you're at the Ritz-Carlton, even though you're obviously not. Finally, RE: the listing verbiage your point is taken and we've removed any mention of an umbrella and toys. In addition to the liability issue I mentioned we had around that unsecured umbrella, our bigger issue is that things like toys and umbrellas are unfortunately "high turnover" items. We try hard to do inventory checks and replace things as needed but it's sometimes hard to track given how many guests we host (which also means we're doing something right, I guess..?). Know that we're doing our best, but in the meantime we've removed that specific verbiage and will remain hopeful that - toys aside - future guests will be able to see the totality of what our beach home has to offer and will continue to trust us with the privilege of hosting them.
Happy future travels,
Sean & Marilyn (owners)
Die Wohnung ist schön und zweckmäßig eingerichtet, sehr sauber, es fehlt an nichts.Die Lage ist sensationell- besser geht es nicht, die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und kundenorientiert. Insgesamt ein sehr gelungener Aufenthalt, wir werden wiederkommen!
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.
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.
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.
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. We will 100% be back!
