... the beach.

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 suites and over the 30 years they owned the place 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, historically the most beautiful spot on the 12 mile string of tropical barrier islands between Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

We are just south 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 older 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 is within easy walking distance. There 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 visiting our grandparents. My wife and I and our two sons live in Colorado. This was too nice a place to let go. Our managers, Kathie and Cor, are long time residents of the island and can answer your questions and help you make your reservation.

This vacation why not skip the condo crowd and enjoy a family vacation in Old Florida?
