Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) is on a 20 mile long barrier island conveniently located about 25 miles from the Tampa airport and 17 miles from the Clearwater/St. Pete airport.
“Old Florida” is the term used to describe a slow paced, no high rise, community approach to natural resources. Our 8 unit building is a fine example of 50’s FL, that retains it convenience and charm along with comfortable up dates.
Walk out the door onto the beach. You will not have to deal with elevators and parking garages. You may meet your neighbors and maybe make new friends or enjoy the solitude of a private spot. Indian Rocks Beach is small town America. There is a museum, park and gazebo. You can walk between the intercoastal and the coast.
There is even a trolley that runs the length of the island. Book this Indian Rocks Beach vacation condo rental by owner.
The "Shack on the Sand" is clean, comfy and uncommon

This Indian Rocks Beach vacation rental condo is truly a "by owner" rental. It has been tenderly loved and cared for since 1992. Ann named the “Shack on the Sand in 1996 when she began weekly rentals.
The rates vary greatly from season to season. Returning guests receive a $50 discount from May to January. This is the kind of place that welcomes returning guests like family. The joke is if what you want isn’t in the unit you don’t need it. Ann, the owner lives 6 minutes away and you may call her to find something or ask her to bring it over. The TV’s are mounted on the walls and Prime is available. There is a nice selection of CD’s and a small player/radio.
She wanted people to know that it was not a high rise and was very close to nature. Happily many people are looking for the direct beach front “Old Florida” experience. The Indian Rocks museum is about 2 blocks away. It is a beach cottage which has been moved and enlarged. There, you will find a post card about Port Holiday, which was the original name of our building. The museum is open from 10 to 2 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
If for some reason I have to cancel, you may reschedule or receive a refund. Examples could be a local emergency or pandemic.
If you cancel you will receive a refund if your reserved time can be rented. I will send e-mails for 6 months back or you may find someone to replace you. Other than that we share the risk.

Air Conditioned, Barbecue grill, Beach Chairs, Cable TV, Computer with Internet, WiFi, speakers for ipod or MP3 player Full Kitchen, Handicapped Accessible, Linens Included,.

Tour Shack on the Sand is a cozy beachfront retreat designed for travelers who crave the rhythm of the waves and the charm of coastal living. Nestled right on the shoreline.

Great area quiet and relaxing.Posted on Michelle ThomasJanuary 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely apartment with incredible gulf views.Posted on Madison FranklinMay 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ann is amazing! Shack on the Sand is my family's favorite place to stay on IRB. The condo is right on the beach, walking distance to restaurants, and feels like home. This place is so special.Posted on Susan RosenFebruary 24, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can we say except ... Stellar Stay Again! We've returned for the third year to this special place & shall be returning again! Each year, we meet up with beach friends from years past to enjoy the sun, sea, sand & relaxation! Ann is the perfect hostess ... always making sure your needs are met & the Shack is in perfect order for your stay! There's easy access to close restaurants with shopping nearby - and plenty of places to explore (if that's your interest). This is a very quaint unit and is certainly not the most modern - there's no need for a pool or exercise facility when there the beach right in front of your eyes but it is absolutely perfect with everything needed for your stay - towels are plentiful & dishes are too - the king bed is comfy & there's adequate places for your clothes. In our years, we've been lucky to travel from Europe to Hawaii to many places in the US ... but every year The Shack calls us back and welcomes us with open arms! We are always sad to depart but always planning for our next visit to our special spot here ... perhaps our next hamburger on the grill and for sure, our next beautiful Shack Sunset!Posted on Thomas LuenemannJanuary 28, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Only 6 units...... very quiet and not crowded. This condo is completely furnished with everything you will need. It is ground level and ocean is only 150' from back patio. Very peaceful with no stairs and easy, convenient parking. Highly recommended.
