Our entire property is non-smoking and non-vaping. All of the units are individually owned. My unit the "Shack on the Sand" is on the lower left. It will sleep 3 there is an extra charge for a third guest. The posted rates are for double occupancy. The "Shack" is a Saturday-to-Saturday rental. The minimum time is 1 week.

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 Netflix is available. There is a nice selection of CD's and a small player/radio.

Beach towels and chairs are provided. Books with information about the area are in the book case as well as a shelf of novels that you may take home with you. The wifi title and pass word are in the unit. Guests are invited to go through all of the drawers and cupboards.

The "Shack on the Sand" is clean, comfy and uncommon.

Unique Benefits

The most unique benefit of the "Shack" is the fact that it
is DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH and it is GROUND LEVEL.
No Stairs!

There are windows the length of the unit so it is bright and airy.

The little front porch has a table and chairs for out door dining.

Amazon Prime is available, ask Ann

Why Kids Love It

THE BEACH

Area Information

Gulf Blvd runs the length of the barrier island from Clearwater Beach to St Pete's Beach, about 30 miles. It is dotted with one beach town after the other. The best kept secret is the beach trolley. You may pay one fare and ride all day.

You can visit the Sea Bird Sanctuary, John's Pass,the galleries in Pass-A Grille and stop for lunch at the Don CeSar Hotel. Then head north to Clearwater Beach and catch sunset at pier 60. Most evenings you will want to watch sunset from right here at 410 Gulf Blvd while sitting on the couch, the porch or at the water's edge.

Some people plan to visit Busch Gardens in Tampa or spend a day in Orlando, but many times they end up just sitting on the porch or the beach with a good book. The condo library has several books titled "One Tank Trips" They were put together by a local TV station and are filled with wonders to visit that are close by.

Guests are encouraged to walk over to the Indian Rocks Museum in Chief Chic-A-Si Park. It is housed in a former beach cottage donated to the city. Admission is free, it is staffed by volunteers Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Check the Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) online calendar if you want to visit during a city wide festival.

Indian Rocks Beach is small town America. There is a lot of community spirit and the people are happy to be here whether to live or vacation.

If you visit Saint Petersburg for the fancy water front shops and museums be sure to visit the funky part of Central Avenue. You can spend an hour creating a wine glass or a clay bowl. You should visit Haslams Book Store and eat at the Berg nearby. Mama cooks a wonderful Greek salad with potato salad in the middle and her lemon chicken soup is perfection.

There are many more wonderful things to see, taste and do but some folks only leave the beach to charter a fishing boat. Crabby Bill's will cook your catch any way you want it.

About Ann Wilson
I grew up in Michigan and since then have lived in several states.
In 1992 both of my sons were in college. I was living with my widowed brother while finishing research for my MA. I wanted to live on the beach for a few months before returning north to work. Thus Sonny (my brother) and I (Sis) were driving along Gulf Blvd. after looking at a rental in Redington. I saw a real estate office and told him to "turn in here" . Since he was my brother not my husband he turned into Imperial real estate. This was the beginning of a continuing love affair with my "Shack on the Sand"
Since that day, I finished my Master s, the boys graduated from college, my brother passed, I retired from my career as a speech and language pathologist. I have no grandchildren.
I have written a book of ideas for language development for children to age 7. I was a storyteller and presented workshops in 6 states about blending storytelling and language development. I once had the opportunity to storytell in Ireland. Now I have a small book of short tales about local flowers. This is available in the "Shack".
I used live with a black poodle about 3 miles from the "Shack on the Sand". Sadly Fritz passed 10/11/21.
 
Why this property? Unit #3 at 410 Gulf was for sale, I was searching for a place to rentl but took a look anyway. I walked in, looked out the front sliders said "This is it!"
I then sat on the couch and lost myself in the view.
I was able to assume the mortage. I lived at 410 for a couple of months before returning north to work. I rented the property long term to a realtor for 3 years, then turned it into a weekly vacation rental.
It was love at first sight and I have loved my "Shack on the Sand" for 30 years. I have changed floors, windows, lighting and doors. I am on my 4th round of appliances, 3rd air conditioner, and have lost count on the silver, dishes, linen, beds and furniture.
I have come to love Indian Rocks Beach because of its' small town atmosphere, civically active citizens, museum, post office and library.
