The perfect beach getaway at our beach front condo. With beautiful heated pool on the beach.
Relax with a cool drink and a spectacular sunset from balcony before dinner, or sit with your morning coffee watching the ocean.
Take a walk along the beach to collect the most amazing shells...but don't leave them for us as we have plenty!
Take a beach chair and sit on the edge of the dunes just in front of our condo and let your trouble float away.
Get your fishing rod out on the beach , or on the Fiddler's private dock across the road, and catch dinner.

The Fiddler on the beach is just a 2 minute walk to the quaint "beachy" restaurants, bars and shopping district and bike rental. - no need to take a car!

Checks ALL the boxes
We were so worried we wouldn't be able to stay at the condo we'd booked because of the recent hurricanes, but Darren went above and beyond to make sure the property was safe and welcoming. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and it's clear he takes great pride in how well maintained his condo is. In fact it was the most well stocked condo we've ever stayed in, even down to chip clips and cozy blankets (which we appreciated as it was cold!) The location is AMAZING, so close to the beach as well as local restaurants. Easy to walk to whatever you may need. We saw some lovely sunrises and beautiful sunsets. Hopefully we'll be able to stay at Darren's again sometime in the near future

Great quality for reasonable cost.
The unit was well equipped. All the basics were provided so there was a nice settling in period before we left the property to grocery shop. The shade provided by the Sun Ninja was greatly appreciated. The pool was clean and refreshing after a beach day. Wonderful stay. Thank you.

We enjoyed our week at the Happy Fiddler. The condo was clean and had everything it advertised. The bed was very comfortable and the views were beautiful. Darren communicated with us before our arrival and answered questions we had. The beach was close to the condo and not over crowded, even for Labor Day weekend. Going out and about was easy as well. We would definitely recommend renting this condo!

Absolute amazing sunset and the condo to go with it!
Overall, experience was great. From check in to check out everything was easy. Condo was fully stocked and labeled from beach accessories, kitchen supplies, and even common house goods throughout the entire place. Plenty of towels for beach, showers, kitchen cloths, even towels to keep by the exterior doors to wipe your feet off when you come and go. Convenience of walking distance to dinning and shops. Easy access to beach, pool and multiple hoses to wash off throughout the location. There are even carts and shopping carts to use when unloading groceries, you can even have publix deliver groceries to your door. Everything was super easy and the people are nice. The host was very tentative and responsive and quick to talk over the phone.

We absolutely loved our stay at Darren’s IRB condo. We hope to return in the future. Area is gorgeous and so walkable for restaurants and shops. Beach is awesome. Condo was very clean, updated, and has all basic essentials. I didn’t realize the washer/dryer weren’t in the unit and were coin op in community area, which may have been my oversight, but was easy enough to get a quick load done. Darren was a great host and provided recommendations and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely go back.

Amazing vacation
First of all, the owner was excellent, as was the property manager who was at the condos. Anything we looked for (beach gear, cooking stuff, etc) was all stocked, even spices. A/C kept at the perfect temperature Beautiful view from the balcony, we spent a lot of time there. Elevator went straight to the pool and parking lot. Our family members were in our 50s and mid-eighties. Thought the interior steps to the bedrooms would be an issue, but even though they were steep, there was a secure railing and it was fine. Very clean condo with comfortable and beautiful decor and furniture. Easy walking distance to restaurants, CVS and even a brewery. Pool and beach were steps off the condo. Hope to return! Places we enjoyed… JDs restaurant and lounge, great atmosphere, live music & good food (approximately 5 minute walk) Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve (approximately 5-10 min drive) with turtle pond, amazing shaded walking trail, pier to the water, live birds that were being rehabilitated)… Kooky Coconut for amazing Cuban sandwiches and ice cream Anecdote Brewery with craft beer Keegan’s grouper was actually on Food Network. Overall, an Old Florida feel and lovely accommodations :) Hope to return!

Happy Fiddler 205
Just stayed Nov4-11. We had the best time despite our beach being closed for dune restoration. There was public access available further north and south of the property. We were able to get on the beach after 5pm to watch sunsets. It was disappointing that we could not use the beach right in front of us. The pool was a great option. The property was beautiful and our condo was all that it was described as. Very clean and full of all that you could need. The owner was very responsive to my questions and comments. The location was great, easy to get to restaurants and shops, despite minor waits on sand dump trucks going to the beach. Construction started at 7 am, so having coffee on the balcony watching bulldozers, back hoes and dump trucks was an unexpected part of our trip. Hope to return to enjoy more beach time next year.
