Awarded Superior Small Lodging 8 years in a row. Surround yourself with the waters of the Gulf and the Bay like nowhere else on the barrier islands between Clearwater and St. Pertersburg. With only 6 Indian Shores vacation units we make you feel right at home. Each Indian Shores vacation apartment is decorated in its own style and the private white sand beach is right out your door. We provide everything for a relaxing seaside vacation right down to the fresh fluffy beach towels, just like Grandma did. Enjoy!

HISTORY:The D & W Sun N Fun was my Grandparents labor of love. They converted the Tampa merchant's big house and carriage house into 6 unique seaside vacation rentals. Over the 30 years they owned the place they had the pleasure of watching kids return year after year until they had families of their own and continued the tradition with their kids. The beach is timeless and they enjoyed sharing their New Orleans style of hospitality until they grew old and moved to the mainland. From the many pictures you can see that they chose well. The place is located in The Narrows, the skinniest and historically the most beautiful spot on the 12 mile string of tropical barrier islands between Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

We are just south of the Town of Indian Rocks Beach written up by a major newspaper for being one of the few remaining quaint beach towns, essentially unspoiled by commercialism. You can sit down with the locals and eat a plate of stone then walk next door to Kitesville USA and shop from a huge selection of kites and wind socks from around the world. For the more adventurous you can rent a boat at the Holiday Inn and cruise the bay or for the younger ones, rent a board and go kitesurfing. In the evening, dance at Jimmy Iguana's to the sound of steel drums. That's what is nice about a vacation. Do as much or as little as you please.

We are conveniently located minutes from Clearwater Beach and St. Petersburg, and close to major airports (Tampa International) and two hours from Disney World. Deep sea fishing, scuba, Hobie catamaraning, golf, tennis and putt putt golf are near by.

For places to eat, my brother's waterfront restaurant,The Pub is within easy walking distance and was honored as the best place to dock your boat and dine. The family can sit out under the dockside umbrellas and sample the local seafood and watch the boats in the channel parade by..

To the south of us is the entertainment district called Baywalk in St Pete, the jet ski and sail boat rentals in the Village at Johns Pass, and grocery shopping is just across the bridge, about a 10 minute drive.

On the simple side, enjoy watching one of our famous deep red sunsets at the end of a day in the teakwood rocking chairs under our large gazebo. Kids like to build sandcastles with the many sand toys left behind by previous guests. The sand bar is an easy wade just off the beach. There the kids can snorkel for cockel shells and sand dollars before the treasures wash ashore in the morning tide. Indian Rocks Beach claims this is the world's safest beach.

We know it as our childhood memories and the good times visiting our grandparents. My wife and I and our two sons live in Colorado. This was too nice a place to let go. Our manager, Cor Van Harmellon, is a resident of the island and can answer your questions and help you make your reservation. (800) 595-6774

This vacation why not skip the condo crowd and enjoy a family vacation in Old Florida? See why our guest books are full of comments like What a treasure. Wish we could stay longer and will be back.
