We have stayed in a condo overlooking the beach at Indian Rocks for a week and it was beautiful.....so much wildlife-dolphins,pelicans etc. It was in august time when we went and the beaches were almost deserted. (a different story up the road at Clearwater). we made it our base and explored Tarpon Springs, St Petes, Clearwater and Fort De-sota park. This year we are staying at Ann maria Island....happy Planning
