Map & Owner's Profile
Beachfront Penthouse Luxury Condo New Inside Direct Gulf Views
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Reef Club
Beachfront location top floor ocean view penthouse 30 minutes from Tampa International with Tampa/Orlando at your fingertips. Great people during our stays. We like the people we have met. Great location to fly to - great location to drive to - and great location to center your vacation from.
This condo has three bedrooms and is designed to sleep maximum of 8 people. In the living room there is also a very nice new leather couch with a comfortable queen sleeper sofa. Two HDTVs including 42' Panasonic Plasma in Living Room and 37' Insignia HD in Master Bedroom. High Speed wireless Internet.
Restaurants and places: Best ice cream in the world! Candy Kitchen - they make their own - go there. They have the same ice cream at 'Candy Kitchen' (one block north of Reef Club . . . just the portions are not as large :). Salt Rock Grill - atmosphere! Great value - surf & turf - more . . . go before 5:00 for extraordinary prices! Crabby Bill's - Seafood - always happening. THE Pub - down the street. Dine at the outside bar evenings and watch the Intracoastal. TJ's Italian Pizza, Picata and Sea Bass. Maggie Mae's Sunrise Cafe - in Sand Key for great breakfasts. Try the bagel Tuna for lunch at Lighthouse Doughnuts - and of course the donuts and breakfasts are great! Our Canadian friends say 'We had their bagel sandwiches and they were better than the Canadian ones! All the above located within walking distance on Gulf Boulevard.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
There is a lot. Penthouse beachfront, sunset while watching seagulls coast by, hot tub, pool, volleyball, gas grills - bike rides on the beach. Don't laugh - but the thing that did it for me was watching the sun set from the top floor balcony while enjoying an excellent carbernet and a McDonald's double cheeseburger. (It had been a long day). TJ's is 3 minutes north and excellent. Crabby Bills a 5 minute walk away - and great places to eat. Resting with the ocean breeze . . .
Don't need a car - extended stay convenience: Great feature - you can take a shuttle from the Tampa Airport to Indian Rocks Beach - about $26. Also, and for one price ALL DAY, the Sun Coast Trolley will take you from St. Pete Beach to Sand Key (Clearwater) with unlimited stops - all for one price! Again, you don't need a car - other family members can arrive earlier/later when you give them your security code. AND if you do have a car (or are on business) the significant others can still get around - if they are not at the beach or the pool all day long. Again, great shuttle to the airport and great trolley on the beach.

Within walking distance. But it same as their homemade 10 min drive south at Candy Kitchen, 13711 Gulf Blvd in Madeira Beach - they make their own - go there.
Place is always busy and the Tuna was great - friendly and good.
Bar and family for seafood nearby is a good choicefor a family fun dinner. The Key West platter was good.
Restaurant will take you away to a little Italian Villa. Good food and good atmosphere. Portions are large and have been excellent. Lunch menu good and outside seating during beautiful day with food can't be beat - 5 minute walk.
Breakfast and Lunch. This place never dissappoints! A great vacation experience place and is "Five Star." Unassuming but quality is good. Tuna on a Bagel for lunch or any of their meat and chees b'fast on a croissant - coffee is also excellent.
Nice atmosphere and delicious food. The garlic crusted tilapia was the best! Get there before 5:00 for the best prices.
Three words, homemade ice cream. They have the best ice cream in the area. They make the Ice Cream by Reef Club mentioned in "A" above. But you get more here! Rum Raisin on top and Coffee on bottom -
Amusement Park. Great place for everyone,but you will have to make it a day. Only 45 minutes away.
High end and has always been good. Valet parking and when busy there is a wait. Quality and romance - and a 5 minuted walk!
Had lunch there and it was good. Portions generally large. More bar and "pub like" and no valet parking but again lunch was good and a 5 minute walk!
Touch of Key West atmosphere with quality. Good place - never dissapoints. Have not had a bad or marginal meal here and 5/5 ratings all the time - - - and there can be a wait.
Yep - I have been checking out restaurants - and it shows. This is a good one. Can you say crab cakes? It's all good. There was a reality show being filmed while we were there - - - - but it did not get in the way.
Owner's Map of Reef Club
As a family of five, Charlotte and I have vacationed in Hawaii, Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, South America - etc. and all great wonderful vacation locations. However our best - stress free and quality vacations have been at the Gulf Beaches of Florida. The location is always ideal for weather, activities, friends and family . . . and we don't feel like we had to out of the country to vacation - we didn't! Great location and easy to get to and so much to do. Pro sports teams in Tampa, Busch Gardens, Gulf beauty and of course we would always go to Orlando and enjoy everything Orlando has to offer - from Disney, to Sea World to the Orlando Magic. This is simply a great location and this condo is beachfront - penthouse - 30 minutes from Tampa airport . . . what more can you say. Getting here is easy for Western Hemisphere and European vacationers and you can start your vacation right away. We have enjoyed this area immensely.

The condo is beutiful and close to everything. My sisters met my husband and I there for for a wonderful fall getaway. There were six of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The beach and sunsets are breathtaking. The restaurants in the area were very good, especially Guppy's and Bubba Gumps not to mention the ice cream stand just a few blocks away. Took the bus on an expedition to John's Pass, cute shops andd eateries. I think most people would agree that this is a great getaway condo.
Owner response:Carol: Thanks for the kind words . . . the beach and the sunsets . . . Charlotte and I appreciate those also - and thanks for sharing. Rick

Rick & Charlotte, Thank you for such a beautifully appointed condo. It was everything anyone could want at their fingertips. We love coming to Indian Rocks to vacation, and the Reef Club is our favorite place. We look forward to visiting your unit again in the coming future. WE highly recommend your beautiful home away from home! It is so comfortable, and so relaxing to sit on the balcony and hear the beautiful sound of the ocean. There are so many wonderful restaurant within walking distant of the Reef Club, which makes the visit even nicer....Guppy's, Keagan's, Galaches, Salt Rock, Wine Cellar just to name a few. We wish you the best! Peggy (Richmond, VA)
Owner response:Dear Peggy: Thank you for the wonderful feedback and comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Needless to say you and your family are always welcome. Sincerely, Rick and Charlotte

Rick and Charlotte: Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful, beachfront condo for our recent two-week family vacation. It was a pleasure working with you to book the home, and we found the living space, beach and Reef Club amenities just as beautiful as they were billed! Each member of my multi-generation family felt comfortable, with the boys especially excited about all the toys and sports equipment there for our use. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and we found everything we used to be in great shape. We enjoyed peaceful breakfasts on the porch, lots of great pool and beach time and falling asleep to the sound of the waves. The view was spectacular! We honestly can't wait to return!

Thank you so much for a beautiful vacation. We really enjoyed relaxing in your condo. Everything was perfect and more than we expected. The view is just awesome. We loved sitting out on the ebalcony and watching the sunset. The heated pool was great. Our daughter loved it. We will be back, I'm sure. Blessing to you and your family in '10! The McIntyres -

This is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The condo is lovely and comfortable. The location is fabulous - we rarely had to or wanted to leave. Everything about it is pleasant and inviting. Thanks so much! The Grissom-Scotts - Colorado - e.g. all the better they had 24" of snow while we were here!

Rick, I cannot thank you and Charlotte enough for the kindness you all have shown to me and family. Our vacation was everything we had hoped it would be and more. From my 76 year old mother down to my 10 year old grandaughter, fun was had by all! The condo was the absolute best and you all weren't kidding when you said it was stocked and very well maintained! We could not have asked for anything better! Even the nights that it rained, the clouds were just breath taking. God certainly painted something new in the sky everyday and every night. Emily, my grandaughter, got to play her first game of tennis while trying to make sure that the little lizards didn't get stepped on! We got to go to the beach everyday and feed the birds. She had some of them eating out of her hands! My grandson, Jacob, got to celebrate his 16th birthday while we were there and that made it really special. My sister, Lisa, turned 50 on the day we left but we celebrated her's on Thursday with steaks cooked on the grill along with all of the fixins'. The meals we were able to prepare really meant a lot to my mom since we could all sit together, something we don't get to do very often. I have told my friends about Indian Rock and most certainly about the wonderful people we rented from for the one week of great memories. Thank you all so much for the time I got to spend with my family. Many Blessings to you and your family today and always. I hope you all are doing well and I hope that you will allow us to rent from you all again. Thank you, Cheryl Deaver, Frances Ailor- Bean and Family P.S. Thanks for the deposit refund. I trust everything was okay? (It was okay - owner submitted).

The condo is perfect. The owners are great and easy to work with. We have an almost 2 year old and the condo didn't have a crib or highchair yet, so the owner went and got them for us. The condo is beautifully decorated, clean, well furnished. The condo is just as represented by the pictures - if not even better. There are beach toys for the kids (and adults - we bought a boogie board and left it there for others to use.) The overall complex is very nice - pool, hot tub, tennis court, gas grills, etc. However each condo is individually owned and we heard several people complaining about how their condo was furnished, things not working, dirty, etc. This condo is definitely one of the nicest in the complex. We were literally the envy of all of the other people staying at the complex. The beach is not crowded at all (compared to Clearwater Beach which is only about 15 minutes away). There are several good restaurants nearby (Keegan's, PJ's, etc.) and one evening we went to a local fish market and came back to the condo and grilled seafood that was caught that morning! Depending on traffic, Sea World and Busch Gardens are a little farther than travel guides lead you to believe, but still close enough for a day trip. If we go back to the Tampa area (which we most likely will) we would definitely stay at this condo.
