* 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).

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! * No pets, sorry! *List the total number of guests in your reservation (kids included) * We provide a starter pack with TP, dish soap, detergent pods, kitchen towels, etc. Guests are expected to resupply the items they require for the remainder of their stay, and to bring their own toiletries * Do not forget to review the Owner's (and Guest) Code of Conduct and Rules before making your reservation and upon checking in.

The condo was very clean and looked as advertised. Easy check-in, convenient location restaurants, water park and miles of white sand beaches with turquoise water. Will definitely be back!
Best rental property I have stayed at!! Love how it has its own parking space and is walkable to so many food/shopping spots as well as the beach! Neighbors were extremely friendly too, will definitely be booking 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!

About the host
Hosted by Esteban Orte
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.
