ABOUT THE AREA (INDIAN ROCKS BEACH - BELLEAIR BEACH - CLEARWATER BEACH)

You'll probably want a rental car, so you can access the many points of interest nearby - Clearwater Beach, Tarpon Springs, Anna Maria Island, Honeymoon Island, or go grocery shopping in nearby Largo or Belleair Bluffs, (5 minutes drive). There is the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, half an hour away, if you have a rainy day, or check out the Aquarium in Clearwater, where the famous dolphin Winter lives, who was made famous in the movie and sequel Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale Two. Book boat trips, deep sea fishing, parasailing, and sunset cruises in Clearwater Beach, Pier 60; 10 minutes drive. Just a little further is Tampa - 30 minutes drive, Busch Gardens - 40 - 45 minutes, Disney, Universal, and Sea World - 1.5 hours.

There is excellent golfing at the Belleview Biltmore, just a couple of miles away on the mainland, as well as at many other golf courses in the area.

We are located on a barrier island, which is narrow, but very long. There are public trolleys which run up and down the main road which cost $2.00 per ride or unlimited daily riding for $4.50 per person. On one side is the intercoastal waterway and on the other side is the Gulf of Mexico with beautiful beaches, palm trees, exotic birds. and stunning sunsets. The island has bridges to the mainland close by. We also have sea turtles nesting on our beach.

The beach is great for swimming, kayaking, and wildlife watching. You can see a variety of birds - pelicans, seagulls, herons, and egrets. If you keep an eye out on the ocean, you can see the dolphins swim by in groups of two to five.

A car is recommended but not required. Beach trolley buses run about every 30 minutes and you can go from Clearwater Beach to the north all the way to Pass-a-Grille in the south, and back.

If the dates you want show as booked on the calendar please send us an inquiry because we might have availability in the second identical apartment. 031823

Great location and very clean

This house was a perfect location for our quick beach trip. Short walk to the beach, several restaurants, small markets and bars. The trolley was super easy to use to get everywhere we needed. The house is well represented on the site - clean, spacious. It is just one bathroom - I’d suggest adding a mirror in the 2nd bedroom. We enjoyed this house and location.

Vadim's duplex is wonderful for a small family. Great location 2 block from the beach, across the street from a city park with pickle ball, softball and a playground. Walkable to several really outstanding restaurants yet quiet enough to be away from the noise. The property itself was spotless and included everything we needed for a long weekend away. We will be back and I've already recommended it to friends and family.

Wonderful, spacious and relaxing!

The property was roomy and cozy. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the porch watching the pickleball across the street. It was great to have beach accessories available downstairs; the only problem was that most of the umbrellas were broken. We found one that was good but not a base that matched it. All else was excellent!

Relaxing Getaway

Our family of 4 really enjoyed this rental. We were very familiar with the area, so knew this would be a great location. Short walk to the beach, restaurants, ice-cream, shops, etc. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The availability of a wagon and beach gear was definitely a plus. The pickleball and softball across the street provided some entertainment while relaxing on the large patio. There was never a point that it was loud or annoying. The beds and furniture were comfortable. We didn't use the washer/dryer that is on the ground floor, so can't speak to that. The owner Vadim was very responsive and helpful. The check-in/out process was seamless and loved not having to carry a key around due to the electronic door locks. Overall, definitely would stay again.

This property is everything we needed - great location, clean, great amenities. We loved having access to beach accessories (towels, chairs, umbrellas) and the beach is a very short walk away. Check-in/out was super easy. We loved the pickleball courts right across the street. I would highly recommend this property!

Clean, great location but....

The property is really cute and the street is very nice. There were many plusses, but the fact that i was woken up Sunday and there was clearly some kind of animal in the wall ór a bird with very loud pecking keeping me awake and very uncomfortable in the space was a deal breaker. Vadim was to come and check it out and we waited for a while but didn't want to wait any more. He never offered a solution or compensation for being kept awake. That was disappointedly why i would not stay here again. Hopefully the house is not compromised too much from whatever was in the wall. It was no one's fault this happened, but the way it was dealt with was disappointing.

Great Location

This is our first time visiting IRB. The property is close to just about everything -- beach, restaurants, playground. Publix is a short drive over the bridge. I like that the town is not crowded with visitors but still close enough to Clearwater and St Pete Beaches if you are looking for more things to do. We enjoyed our stay and plan to come back.
