About this property

Beautiful home right on the Gulf

This property is a 3BR, 2.5BA direct Indian Shores Beachfront Home. It has direct access to the Gulf of Mexico sand and surf. You step off the ground floor patio onto the short beach path that winds through the dune. High tide or low the beach offers some of the finest sugar sand in the country.

It is a beautifully decorated three-story unit with a two car garage on the ground floor, main living spaces along with a half-bath on the first floor and the three bedrooms (all with skylights) and two full baths on the second floor. The water views from every window say it all.

Sunsets, locally called The Show, are sure to be enjoyed to the fullest from the spacious deck, the balcony off the master suite, or the patio. Our preference is to watch The Show with our toes in the sand.

The recreation and relaxation activities are only limited by your imagination. Sitting on a beach chair or strolling the water's edge looking for treasures to the sound of the surf is a great way to relax. Wading and swimming is easy and refreshing in the warm waters of the Gulf. If you're under 65 you'll need a license to surf fish with the provided gear. You can catch your own bait with my bait net or purchase bait just up the street. Walking, jogging, or cycling up or down the beach or Gulf Blvd is pleasant before the heat of the day.

We are located on a quiet stretch of Gulf Blvd within a short walk to Caddy's Restaurant, ice cream shops, and other local shops. The rental shop next to Caddy's rents bikes, boats, and other items. Slyce and Original Pizza will deliver to the house. Many other restaurants are a short drive up or down the beach. We've had many pleasant meals at the Salt Rock.

We are 40 minutes from Tampa International Airport, and only 30 minutes St Petersburg/Clearwater Airport. Disney World & Universal Studios are an hour and a half away. Busch Gardens is less than an hour away! You can see Winter the dolphin at the Clearwater Aquarium just 30 minutes up the beach. The Tampa area offers many fine attractions for its visitors.

Absolutely spectacular view!
The ocean view from the house was so beautiful! You could hear the ocean waves. The sunset was so lovely and peaceful. The beach was wide and the sand finely ground. There was room on the beach for bocci ball games, football, playing catch. We found sand dollars, sea urchins, and multiple kinds of sea shells. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking our own dinners. An overall, relaxing and peace filled vacation.

Beautiful oceanfront home
The property was perfect! Just steps to the beach and the most gorgeous sunsets from the balcony. The kitchen was large and fully stocked. A nice spot away from the busy traffic of Clearwater but close to several restaurants, bars, and shopping.

Great place to relax!
Ours was a group of 5 adults having our first family vacation in years, and we're glad we stayed here. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the owner has provided lots of extras to try to make sure we had everything we needed. Sunset views were spectacular! If we're back in the are we will definitely look into staying here again!
