About the host
Hosted by Curtis Wes Westphal
I grew up here living with my grandparents. They bought Sun N Fun for $28,000 in 1968, My wife Kathy and I bought it from them for $335,000 in 1998 so they could retire. As Tampa grew the rich and famous have discovered our unique Gulf to Bay location on the island. Sending property values soaring and with that a $43,000 property tax bill. Stay here and know you are helping to save these treasures from Old Florida.
Why they chose this property
Boyhood home. Good memories of sun, sand, and surf. Indian Rocks Beach is a small seaside community with good restaurants, vacation rentals from the 1920's and a vibe that brings you back year after year.
What makes this property unique
Florida Gulf Coast beachfront rentals at Grandma’s island beach house from the summer of 1925. The large home and carriage house are now converted into 6 Gulf front villas featuring full kitchens, pillow top beds, and fantastic views. Awarded one of the highest scores on the beach by Superior Small Lodging. Kids love an old place surrounded by water. We are small and personable. Gulf of Mexico and private white sand beach are right out your door. Wade out to the shallow sandbar to explore for shells and sand dollars. Or walk across the street to watch the yachts go by and fish in the bay. Old Timers call this part of the island "The Narrows" where the sand is just wide enough for a single row of homes.
