Description
Indian Rocks Beach is a small beach community west of Tampa, Florida, in the middle of the state...about 1 1/2 hour west of Orlando. The atmosphere of this town is fairly easy going, not many high rises...friendly people. St. Petersburg is close - Dali museum, Fine Arts and History museum...Clearwater Beach is a bus ride away...There is a trolley that goes up and down the "barrier islands" -$4 each way.
We live on the property that we manage which is on the inter coastal. We are empty nesters...although nieces and nephews (from 26-14) visit a lot.
My husband and I have a miniature poodle named Choo Oui that is a little spoiled :), but very friendly. We need some general household help ironing, gardening, cleaning and maintenance help ...averaging 4 hours per day per workawayer!!
We love to cook, eat healthy and enjoy fresh foods. We have traveled extensively, lived in Portugal, Spain and Greece, South Africa and now enjoy walking, hiking, yoga, swimming, cooking and eating...
You will see what it is like to live in a smallish beach tourist town...the beaches are sugar white and the gulf of mexico always warm!
