About the Owner
About Linda Miller
We live in South East London, with our two cats Taz and Bailey. Linda is the head teacher of a large primary school, and Steve is a freelance marketing consultant. This flexibility, plus the school holidays, allows us to visit our properties regularly and make sure that they remain in excellent condition. We treat our properties like our own home - so you can guarantee that everything is working properly, is well maintained and very clean.
Linda Miller purchased this condo in 2014
Why Linda Miller chose Indian Rocks Beach
Both of us were born and raised by the sea, so we had always dreamed of owning a condo by the beach for the ultimate 'Florida gulf experience' - both for ourselves and our guests.
Indian Rocks offers the perfect mix of bars, restaurants and attractions without being too 'over the top'. There is a real ambience to the place, and the locals are genuinely courteous, but with a laid-back manner. Spring break can up the tempo, but on the whole, Indian Rocks is quite a 'balanced' location. Not too sleepy, but then again not party central!
The fact that the condo had a dedicated parking slot(Bay E), plus guest parking was a real plus for us. The condo in not too far from Tampa Airport - meaning that you could be on the beach sipping a cocktail within 90 minutes of touching down on the tar
What makes this condo unique
Many properties claim that they are close to the beach, but the Sand Isle complex is quite literally ON the beach. Very few places can offer this kind of superior location.
Since there are so many great bars and restaurants within walking distance, you can leave your car at home. Remember, these are the places that other folk travel to - but they are right on our doorstep!
We like to hire a bike, and discover different places along Gulf Blvd. There's dedicated cycle path - so it is quite safe, and there are strict speed limits for cars.
Not that adventurous? You can always jump on the trolley bus that frequently stops outside the condo. It travels as far North at Dunedin, and as far South at St. Pete's beach. Clearwater beach is a favourite spot for a drink, and the sunset celebrations.

Wonderful beach-front condo
This stunning beach-front condo surpassed our expectations. Ideally located. Comfortable and beautifully decorated with a laid- back beach theme. Great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance, we also used the trolley bus for getting out and about further afield. Ease of booking and excellent communication from the owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend it to our friends and family.
Fantastic holiday
Beautiful condo, very spacious & perfectly situated.
To have the pool & the beach was such a bonus for the days we just wanted to relax. We could explore by car or take the jolly trolley which was perfect for visiting the neighbouring beaches. It was lovely to come back in the evening after a day out & be able to completely relax in a very comfortable 'home from home'. Would definitely recommend it & we will also definitely be back.
Beautiful Condo in amazing location
Beautiful condo, everything you needed was there. It is very spacious and clean. It was great being able to walk to restaurants and also a CVS which was very handy. It was great to get up in the morning and take a walk along the beach. I especially love the sunsets and being directly on the beach was perfect.
Would definately go back and have already recommended it to friends
Clean, Nicely decorated, Conveniant, Fairly priced.
The condo was very clean. There weren't any needs not met by the well equipped kitchen. The condo is in walking distance to many restaurants and sits directly across the road from a great place to start your day with a fresh apple fritter. The pool is nicely equipped with lounged chairs and a shuffle board. The beach is only steps away. We would definently stay here again and may very well do it next year. My only complaint would be the pillows provided for the bedding need to be replaced but other than that this place is a winner.
Beautiful Condo
This condo is gorgeous; our family had a wonderful time! Condo was very clean with updated appliances just a hop skip jump to the beach. Located close to many restaurants Crabby Bill’s was fabulous. Would definitely recommend to a friend, in fact I will book this condo again.
Wonderful
We spent 8 nights at this lovely condo, the location fantastic, minutes from the beach, everything in the condo was clean and well maintained, the washer dryer an added bonus, it is a home from home, we were there with friends and plenty of room for 4 adults.
The pool area is very clean, with comfortable sun loungers,even a fridge to keep drinks cold.
The partial sea view is just as described, the only thing we would have liked was a little more room on the balcony, but it didn't spoil things as we could walk down to the pool area.
The location was great the beach on one side, restaurants and bars within walking distance.
We ate in a couple of the restaurants, our favourite was Slyce pizza place would recommend the meat balls.
We will defiantly use this condo again when we are in Indian Rocks

We have a coffee shop just accross the street - providing fresh donuts, bagels and sandwiches with their cappuccinos and lattes. Los Mexicanos serves, of course, Mexican fare with happy hour Margaritas and indoor or patio dining.
The Tapas Garden Restaurant also has indoor and patio dining providing a unique menu of full course meals or Tapas and wine. Crabby Bills has added a fabulous takeout sandwich shop next to their open air bar adjoining the original Crabby's restaurant. PJ's Oyster Bar on the corner is one of the local favourites and not to be missed.
Local amenities....
A CVS beach drug store is close by for quick shopping for snacks, drinks, beach items etc and the larger supermarkets are just over the intracoastal bridge on the mainland.
