Newly Remodeled Beautiful Beachfront direct view of the Gulf and stunning sunset

CONDO, 2 BEDROOM, 2 BATHS, (SLEEPS 5)

SEVEN NIGHT MINIMUM
The perfect beach getaway at our beach front condo. With beautiful heated pool on the beach.
Relax with a cool drink and a spectacular sunset from balcony before dinner, or sit with your morning coffee watching the ocean.
Take a walk along the beach to collect the most amazing shells...but don't leave them for us as we have plenty!
Take a beach chair and sit on the edge of the dunes just in front of our condo and let your trouble float away.
Get your fishing rod out on the beach , or on the Fiddler's private dock across the road, and catch dinner.

The Fiddler on the beach is just a 2 minute walk to the quaint "beachy" restaurants, bars and shopping district and bike rental. - no need to take a car!

Each bedroom has a water view, master facing the beach and the other facing the intercoastal waterway.. The Balcony off the living room overlooks lush tropical gardens and sand dunes and the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A modern fully equipped kitchen, light and airy living/dining room and 2 full bathrooms completes the package.

There is a King size bed ( very comfortable mattress) in the master bedroom and the second bedroom has 2 doubles . There's also a pack and play.

The Beachside heated pool with sun loungers is a perfect place to while a way a few hours with a good book, or beachcomb along the prestige sands of Indian Rocks Beach. We have beach toys, boogie boards, lawn chairs beach towels are provided.

Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, two parks adjacent to one another in Tampa or Disney or Universal Studios just 90 minutes are wonderful day visits particularly for families with children.

Downtown St Petersburg has several world renowned museums and a host of smaller galleries and parks, the waterfront and marina.

Pinellas county has two of the top USA ranked beaches, Caladesi Island and Fort de Soto state parks . In between these are 20 miles of glorious white sand, pristine beaches, all open to the public.

While you are here, check out the atmospheric smaller towns of Dunedin - an arty waterfront town and Tarpon Springs, with its historic sponge docks and very Greek, Mediterranean flavor and downtown Safety Harbor.

If that hasn't tired you out, sport is our big thing here too! Golf, tennis, bike riding, water sports of every kind. Fishing from deep sea fishing to fishing off our private dock across the street from The Fiddler. Pro Football, baseball,and hockey during the season.

If you don't want to drive to much we have great public transport system all along the beaches from Clearwater to St Petersburg beach you can hop on and off the Jolly Trolley street car, low price single fares or weekly can be purchased. Trolley stops right in front of The Happy Fiddler.

Great week at the beach!

My husband and I really enjoyed this condo. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. The only drawback for us as we are in our upper 60's are that the stairs are a little steep and narrow for us. But we managed. It was within walking distance of places to eat. The pool and beach are nice. We will stay again if the opportunity arises.

5 Star Property on 5 star beach with 5 star customer service

Darren started off our wonderful week by contacting us even before we got on the plane. Great experience at his condo at the Happy Fiddler. While other condos were still boarded up or under repair from the hurricane the Happy Fiddler looked brand new including its heated pool. Our condo was just as shown on VRBO and really well stocked with all the condimentsand beach toys.

Great quality for reasonable cost.

The unit was well equipped. All the basics were provided so there was a nice settling in period before we left the property to grocery shop. The shade provided by the Sun Ninja was greatly appreciated. The pool was clean and refreshing after a beach day. Wonderful stay. Thank you.

Checks ALL the boxes

We were so worried we wouldn't be able to stay at the condo we'd booked because of the recent hurricanes, but Darren went above and beyond to make sure the property was safe and welcoming. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and it's clear he takes great pride in how well maintained his condo is. In fact it was the most well stocked condo we've ever stayed in, even down to chip clips and cozy blankets (which we appreciated as it was cold!) The location is AMAZING, so close to the beach as well as local restaurants. Easy to walk to whatever you may need. We saw some lovely sunrises and beautiful sunsets. Hopefully we'll be able to stay at Darren's again sometime in the near future

Time away

We enjoyed our week at the Happy Fiddler. The condo was clean and had everything it advertised. The bed was very comfortable and the views were beautiful. Darren communicated with us before our arrival and answered questions we had. The beach was close to the condo and not over crowded, even for Labor Day weekend. Going out and about was easy as well. We would definitely recommend renting this condo!
