***IMPORTANT UPDATES***

* Please be aware that Pinellas County is making important improvements to our beaches this fall. Work has begun in Indian Rocks Beach on Nov. 4th, and it is expected to take approximately 2 weeks. Some beach access points may be temporarily closed and equipment or noise may be present during this work. For the latest updates on open access points, visit the Pinellas County website: https://pinellas.gov/projects/2025-pinellas-county-beach-nourishment-project/.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Thank you for your understanding as our community works to restore and enhance the shoreline after last year’s hurricanes.

* AS PER CITY ORDINANCE, ALL SHORT TERM RENTAL GUESTS MUST ACKNOWLEDGE AND ABIDE BY THE OWNER'S (AND GUEST'S) CODE OF CONDUCT AND RULES (Please read fully at the end of the listing description). There will also be a printed copy of these documents in the condo for your perusal once you check-in. Thank you for helping us comply with City licensing and registration requirements.


LOOKING FOR the perfect setting for a memorable vacation with family or friends? Look no more! This is a fabulous family-friendly condo that is part of a small beach front community of only 7 units, so no crowded, noisy beaches. Our space does not directly overlook the Gulf of Mexico, but DOES offer a nice glimpse of it from the balcony. The unit is one floor above the parking garage and you will get to the condo by walking up stairs (around 15 steps). The stairs are a little steep, which is something to consider when carrying large/bulky luggage or for people with limited mobility. NO ELEVATOR, sorry!

Once you are parked the beach life really begins. Parking space is a hot commodity on the beach, but this unit has one assigned spot. In full disclosure, some people find it tight, but it is big enough to fit an SUV. A bit of maneuvering or backing up into the parking spot may be necessary depending on your vehicle's size. There is also one guest parking spot between the two buildings in the property, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Restaurants and bars are within walking distance, so no need to move your vehicle frequently while you are here!

This updated unit offers an inviting and practical open-floor plan. The living room has a sofa and love seat, and a smart TV loaded with streaming apps. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances, and furnishings you may need to cook. The cozy master bedroom suite has a full bathroom, closet space, a queen size bed, a spare bed, and a smart TV. The second bedroom includes two twin beds, smart TV, and additional closet space.

The amenities in the community include a small but relaxing pool, lounge chairs, a fridge to keep your drinks handy, and a grill for barbecuing if you so desire! Since this is a very small community, you only share amenities with a few people. Some days, the pool may be just for you to enjoy. Please note that we do provide beach/pool towels for our guests as well!

We fell in love with this condo when we first saw it. It was our dream come true. Not an ultra modern, luxurious, resort, family-friendly, unbeatable location, literally steps from the beach. We are a local family, not a managing company, with young kiddos who LOVE the water, and we can honestly say that our beach condo is located in a unique, low-key spot to relax, play, and enjoy some of the best sunsets Florida has to offer. Come visit!

This is a nice sized condo with plenty of sunlight. Proximity to the beach was great. Everything we needed for beach days was provided. The condo was not cleaned and ready for our arrival which was disappointing and delayed our vacation experience but Esteban responded immediately and was always very responsive. As some others have mentioned, we experienced exceptionally loud noise from the upstairs guests for several hours after 10pm -it was really bad and because it was so late at night we didn't reach out to Esteban at that time- we wish we would have because being sleep deprived before a 5am flight is terrible. Thankfully it was on our last night but I did inform him on an early morning text to which he responded right away and even stated we should not have waited. So for any future guests who may have to deal with inconsiderate upstairs guests; don't hesitate to reach out. We were able to wash our clothes before leaving which was nice but the back of the dryer's drum is rusted and stained a few of our items but other than that we would stay again.

Absolutely perfect

This place was perfect for our family. The location was amazing (literally in walking distance to some of the best restaurants), the beach is calm and relaxing (and quiet!) and the condo itself is gorgeous, spotless, and had everything we could need. We are already talking about another trip. We did not want to leave!

This property is perfect! The location was perfect! It is great that there is a private pool just for the people staying in the condos, and it is literally steps away from the beach and Gulf of Mexico. The property is very clean and had all the amenities you need! A ton of restaurants are with in walking distance. John's Pass is about 15 minutes away. Great location...Will definitely be back!!

Office Staff Getaway

This was a trip I organized to say "thank you" to the all-female staff of my CPA office. We had a wonderful time at this property. It was perfect for the 5 of us (2 in each bedroom and 1 on the couch). Having been to IRB before, I knew the location was perfect for getting to the restaurants and activities we had planned. We couldn't have asked for anything more in a property. I will definitely add this to my "Perfect Places To Stay" in IRB!

Great Trip

What a great place. Super clean and updated. We love the area because you can walk to anything you need. Esteban was quick to answer any questions we had and accomodated our requests. Although we didn't use them, there was a pop up play pen and kids toys in the spare bedroom closet. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas in the storage closet as well. We look forward to returning.

Great condo just steps away from the beach.

Perfect spot for a family vacation. The condo has everything you will need. We found the washer/dryer extremely handy with 3 kids. Nice furnishings and everything is well kept. The owners are extremely good at communicating with their renters and were even willing to check with their neighbors on availability for next year. You can park your car in your private parking spot and walk to a variety of restaurants. There is easy access to both the pool and the beach. You can't go wrong booking here for your next vacation.

Great time at Heavenly Hideaway

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Heavenly Hideaway. This was our 2nd stay at this property (different condo). The beach is was great and so convenient to the condo as well as the pool. The kids brought their own boogie boards and toys but there were plenty of "community" boards/balls/toys available. Everythign is within walking distance such as restaurants, bars, stored, surf shops, etc. We love the fact that there is a CVS store right across the street. Linda was great to work with and we will definitely be back!

Great vacation spot for our 16 month old! Quite location with low traffic. Great for young families. Beautiful beach, pool, and rental! I got confused about the code to get in, but Linda responded quickly to help. There is one covered parking spot, which is nice. The parking space felt tight and would make us question bringing a full sized SUV or truck. Thank you to the Millers!

We loved the location of the property and the amenities provided. We did not enjoy the neighbors above us. Kids were running the entire time and it is very noisy for this unit. We also didn’t like the fact we couldn’t cool the condo below 74 degrees. After being in the sun it was not comfortable sleeping at night even with fans going. On our last day we had water dripping into the master bedroom from the ceiling. The dryer does not dry very well. Our laundry had to be set to 60 minutes and ran two cycles. Our stay would have been more enjoyable had the guests above us been more mindful. This property manager did reach out to the other owner but it did not resolve the issue.

About the host

Hosted by Esteban Orte

Host profile image
We are a local family with young kiddos. We enjoy the outdoors and an active lifestyle. We love traveling around the world, which is how we got inspired to become hosts and share our space(s). Though not native to Pinellas County, we have established roots here, and feel privileged to call this part of Florida home. We love St. Pete and the beautiful beaches around us!!!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this condo and its location when we first saw it. IRB is a lovely community. Not as crowded as other beaches in the area. It has a little town feel to it, but not too sleepy as there are many restaurants, ice cream parlor, and lively bars around. The water park and the nature parks nearby draw a lot of locals and tourists alike. If you want to venture a bit farther, Clearwater is only a short drive away, and the trolley that rides on Gulf Boulevard can take you there or to any other beaches south of IRB. Many possibilities for fun, adventure, and relaxation.

What makes this property unique

Not a resort, family-friendly, unbeatable location in the heart of IRB, and on the beach side of Gulf Blvd.
