Turtle's Nest-Golf Cart-Steps to Beach
Summary: No Hurricane damage at the house plus IRB has 100% of restaurants open and all the beaches are open since the Hurricanes this summer!
Did you notice the Golf Cart? It's a 6 seater Lithium cart that's $10 a day, billed at time of booking. Makes the run to Kooky Coconut for some Capitain Butterscotch with the group so much fun. It even has ground effect lights and a stereo to cruise in more style then everyone else.
This place is steps from the beach. Everything you need is supplied even the beach towels.
The Space: We designed the interior on each side of this duplex to be beachy, fresh, and clean. The space was remodeled to enjoy comfortable time in the AC, with outdoor space gather round playing games and making memories, all right near the beach! It's a duplex and you can rent the other side to allow groups up to 16 people with the units connected on the deck.
Big 75" TV, oversized queen over queen bunk bed, and 2 king beds. Turtles Nest is the perfect beach house to get your toes in the water in under a two minute walk, the perfect beach community to walk to local cuisine, and the perfect beachy interior!
The property has large beds only! I have stayed too many times cramped in a bed smaller than a queen so we had a custom queen bunk bed built that can easily support adults - oh and we added some power to charge your cell phone even on the top bed. Last, but not least the property it adorned with a massive Turtle Family. We had artwork made by a long term family friend and it welcomes color to all corners from every angle.
The kitchen is packed full of any cooking item you need, with larger pots/pans to easily create a larger meal for all hungry guests. The garage is also available to use and fits a large SUVS (plus two in the driveway) and still have room for bikes, toys, and anything else you want to bring. Plus in the garage there's a beach cart, beach chairs, and another full-size fridge/freezer for beverages for big groups staying on extended vacations. Load up the mini-van and bring the whole family to come and enjoy my families personal space.
One last thing - did you see there's an EV charger in the amenities? it's included and Tampa Bay has several rental car companies that will rent you a Tesla or other EV car to add some zip to your trip!
Guest Access: Keypad
The Neighborhood: THE BEST - I have been vacationing to beaches since I was 5 years old. I can tell you that after spending weeks and weeks of my life at the beach; Indian Rocks Beach is the best I've found. After 35 years of traveling to beaches I picked IRB and finally bought a beach home for our family to enjoy for years to come. Easy smooth warm beach swimming, fun unique dining, lots and lots to do all over - get here as soon as you can to experience it yourself........
Getting Around: FEET FIRST - your toes will be in the gulf in under a two minute walk. Plus you can walk to the inter-coastal side in the same time. Your feet can get you to a gas stations for extra ice/beverages in two minutes as well. Hungry? There are several restaurants within a two minute walk also
Other Things to Note: We have the beach items handled. 8 beach towels are in the closet in the guest bathroom. Plus theres a beach cart in the garage and 4 beach chairs. We have a cooler for you too - please don't put fish in it and rinse it out for the next guests.
BEST OF ALL! 6-Seat Golf Cart Included (must show valid license). This beast is street legal - you can drive it to restaurants, take gear to the beach, or just cruise in style! I can honestly say that having a golf cart will add a tremendous amount of joy and enhance your vacation memories! Bro-code required - return in same of better condition.
*ALL GOLF CART DRIVERS MUST BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD TO DRIVE, SIGN A LIABILITY WAIVER AND PROVIDE US WITH A PHOTO OF THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE BEFORE THEIR STAY*
We are a family of 6 and will not tolerate disrespectful behavior of any kind. We spend several weeks a year at our property and expect guests to treat our space with integrity.
THERE IS NO SMOKING OR VAPING AT ALL NO PETS ARE ALLOWED
If you are smoking in the space or bring a pet, you will be asked to leave immediately BTR #1958
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Pool is shared with 4 other condos and from the picture we thought it was only a duplex so it can get over crowded. Place is beautiful and perfectly stocked with lots of pool and beach extras. Golf cart is the best feature especially with kiddos for something added extra to do! Location is also a plus it’s within walking distance to several great restaurants, a convenience store and a hop skip and jump from sand!

Memorial Day Getaway
This property was exactly as advertised. Spotless clean, Close to everything. This property had everything we needed to have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend at the beach. I had an issue with the booking process and the owner got in touch immediately to straighten things out. Very friendly and helpful. We ended up chatting a bit and after hanging up I knew we were going to have a blast. My two kids are already asking if we can go back in October. The answer is YES. Book this house you will LOVE it.

Absolutely perfect location
Everything about our trip was perfect for our family. The house was beautiful and clean and roomy. The location was just what we were looking for. Couple minute walk and you're on the beach. Our kids loved going back and forth between the beach and the pool, we loved this flexibility! Nice short Lyft drive to Clearwater beach.
Took owners suggestion on kooky coconut and for sure a must when visiting!

Absolutely perfect!
I rented Turtle's Nest for 13 nights and could easily have stayed for 13 more!! I started off the week with 3 of my childhood friends who stayed for 7 nights and then my son and 2 granddaughters came for the last 6. One of my friends commented that it had just the right amount of everything and that is a perfect description!! The house is lovely and so clean! It isn't cluttered, but has the things that you need right at hand. It is a VERY easy walk to the beach as well as several really cute places to eat. The pool was such a nice addition. However, I think that my friends and definitely my family agree that the golf cart is the icing on the cake!!! My girls were so sad to leave "Bowser" behind when we headed home. It makes getting around so easy and fun. It is worth a lot to have that convenience available. Caleb was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond to any questions. We have all decided that this is our new place and we will definitely be back!

Slice of Gulf Heaven
From the first inquiry with Caleb from the check in to check out details, all was prompt and accurate. Accommodations were wonderful, allowing my family of five to have a memorable vacation. Lots of great restaurants, our fav being Beach Wave and Guppy’s. Location was perfect!!! You could actually see the Gulf from the deck/patio. Pool was beautiful and a big bonus!!! And don’t forget the gulf cart…so much fun to troll around the area!
Don’t hesitate to rent this slice of Gulf Heaven!!!
We had a great trip to the Turtle’s Nest! Large rooms and plenty of space for our family of 5. It was so nice to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on the covered porch while the family slept in. Very nice, quiet neighborhood. Having the golf cart was a huge hit for the kids and lots of fun for us all! Perfect location being so close to the beach. Turtles Nest has all the amenities one would need, and made for an excellent, family vaca!! :)

The owner Caleb communicated perfectly regarding easy on site electronic check in. Unit was ready early. Everything was super clean and inviting! We all agreed was bigger than expected and comfortable for all of us. Location was perfect. Short walking distance to the beach, restaurants and more. Golf cart was definitely an added bonus.

Great stay steps from the beach!
This might have been the cleanest vrbo we have ever had. The beds were comfortable, rooms were able to be dark, laundry room was great. I’m picky when it comes to staying places and this place was above my expectations.
