2 Bedroom House in Independence Square, Indian Rocks Beach

SEVEN NIGHT MINIMUM STAY (Trust us, it won't be enough!)
PLEASE NOTE: WE ACCEPT SATURDAY-TO-SATURDAY BOOKINGS ONLY
Wake up to the sounds of ocean waves rolling in...a sunrise stroll with the sand between your toes. Afternoons filled with family fun in the sun. Sunsets and refreshing drinks by the pool or on your private balcony. THIS is beachfront living! Welcome to beautiful Indian Rocks Beach, a small community known for immaculate white sand beaches that are family-friendly, incredible natural wildlife, and close proximity to amazing attractions up and down the Gulf coast. This vacation oasis surrounded on both sides by water is also home to our boutique beach getaway, a graceful 2 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse with direct beach access and endless ocean views.
Upon entering your eyes linger for a moment on the cozy, coastal cottage decor...then travel directly to the view from the living room to the unobstructed ocean front balcony. The balcony overlooks lush tropical gardens and sand dunes that flow right into the quiet beach and azure blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A cozy kitchen, breezy and open living/dining room layout and full bathroom complete the entry level.
Upstairs, each spacious, beachy bedroom has a water view-- one directly facing the ocean, the other facing our private dock on the intracoastal waterway. Along with a king size bed in the main bedroom and two queen size beds in the second bedroom.
This unit comes fully equipped-- sheets, towels, complete kitchen accessories, TV, central heat/air, beach chairs, etc. Also included are full cable service and internet access at no additional charge.
The private, beachside pool is heated and well-appointed for relaxing or grilling, with the adjoining sand dunes providing a gorgeous natural barrier to the pristine beach just steps away.
And oh, that beach... whether you're into shell collecting or water sports, swimming or lounging with a good book, this is the place! Best of all, a recent beach renourishment program has tripled the size of the sugary white sand at your doorstep.
Unlike many of the busy neighboring resorts along Gulf Blvd, The Happy Fiddler is a small boutique property located in the highly desirable "Narrows" section of IRB, with no other homes or condo developments facing it. That lack of foot traffic means stepping onto a stretch of beach that always feels quiet and private, regardless of the time of year. But when you're ready to see the sights, this property is just a short two-minute walk to the area's fun beachy restaurants, ice cream shops and shopping district.
Those interested in further exploring the coast in search of adventure won't have to travel far: the Tampa Zoo, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island are close day visits; nearby downtown St Petersburg has the world renowned Dali museum and a host of smaller museums, galleries and parks along its charming waterfront marina; gorgeous Clearwater Beach, with it's incredible nature preserves and famous Marine Aquarium are just 20 minutes up Gulf Blvd; and various charming smaller towns like arty Dunedin and Mediterranean-flavored Tarpon Springs are close as well.
All of the above are just short drives away, but also running regularly up and down Gulf Blvd. from Clearwater to St Pete is the cute Jolly Trolley street car (low priced single fares or weekly passes available). Check it out!
We are just 30 minutes drive to the Tampa International Airport and 20 minutes to the Clearwater/St. Pete airport. Book now to enjoy a quiet, family-friendly vacation getaway in paradise, where the gorgeous white sand beach is literally steps away!

Summary: The condo was clean, well stocked w blankets, pillows, towels & beach gear. The AC worked great, the beach view was all that we hoped for. The ease of getting to the beach was phenomenal. The decor was super cute & put together. The area was so charming and loved that we could walk to many places in the evening for dinner.There were a few things about the unit that didn’t quite meet our expectations:The right half of the back sliding back door was broken, with the screen leaning up against the inside of the unit. The other side of the door didn’t lock. It seemed like a safe neighborhood, and we were on the 2nd floor, but a locking back door is definitely something that we expected.The deadbolt on the front door was near impossible to lock as well. We were able to lock it once, and never again after that. The lock on the keypad did work.The shower head in the bottom shower needs to be replaced. Water was slightly better than a trickle when coming out. We ended up not using that shower because of this. The description indicated that the unit had its own washer & dryer. When in reality, it’s a shared facility that you have to pay to use. All in all, we would stay here again, and hope that these fixable issues were fixed. The good outweighed the bad. LOVED the area!

Summary: Fantastic location! Views are unmatched and beach was perfect- not at all crowded. Nice little pool area overlooking the Gulf. Great small beach town feel. Walkable places to eat and shop. Food at all the restaurants was so good! Super quick trip to Clearwater too for even more fun.

Summary: We had a great time. Perfect access to the beach that was quiet, calm, and clear. Pool was great, balcony was awesome to wake up every morning. I’d love for a few things to be updated, but that is a nitpick. Would stay here again and recommend it.

Summary: The condo definitely needs/needed a deep clean! My wife spent over an hour wiping things down our first day. It is definitely in need of some touch ups (i.e. paint, caulk, toilet seat, etc.) as there was paint coming off the hand rails, scuffs all over, and the main floor toilet seat had bare wood spots and one of the hinges was broken. Linens in the main bedroom and numerous towels were stained/dirty. The owners were very responsive and apologetic, and had new sheets, pillow cases, and a quilt sent via Amazon the next day! The unit was otherwise as described and everything functioned as expected. The location was amazing! We were able to walk right out to the beach, and never once felt crowded (and it was spring break)! The pool was nice and we never had an issue finding chairs/loungers, and never felt overcrowded in the pool. It was also great having access to 2 gas Weber grills on the property that were hard lined in, so you never had to be concerned about the gas running out. One thing we wished would have been more clear was that there is no laundry in the actual unit, but there is coin operated washer/dryer on the property. Overall, we had a great week there,

Summary: The Happy Fiddlers is located in the Narrows with beautiful views of the Gulf and Intercostal. The pool is relaxing, heated and a very nice size. Views to the Gulf are wonderful! The unit we stayed in was very comfortable and quiet. The townhouse layout was excellent. We are already booked for 2026......

Summary: This was our first time to the area and this place was an absolute gem! I packed so much extra things that we didn’t need because the condo had everything we needed and more! The view was breathtaking and the property managers was very kind. Already planning a return trip next year!

Summary: We loved the location! Right on the beach and could listen to the waves 24/7. Easy walk into town. We enjoyed having 2 levels. I guess you could say the place needs a thorough cleaning and fixing. Sliding door didn’t work, BR blinds broken, Dining table bench broken, ice maker broken. The dust/scum on some things (sliding door track almost black with bugs and black stuff coming off the kitchen faucet) pretty bad. Before our grandkids came I had to clean. Then, the night before check out a large cockroach came out to say goodbye. Considering the cost of a month it would be a minimal investment in a handyman, really deep clean and refresh and the unit would almost be a 5 star rating…..Just no washer and dryer in unit.
