Indian Harbor Beach, FL has lots of great things to see: the Atlantic Ocean, manatees, and space shuttle launches.
One of the many communities that sprung up around the Kennedy Space Center, Indian Harbor Beach brands itself as an upbeat, forward-thinking haven of tropical bliss. Sitting off the west coast of Florida, it boasts its very own volunteer firefighting crew and a serious interest in promoting recreational activities. It even went so far as becoming the first city in Florida to be 100% prepared for a tsunami. Not that Florida has ever been in any danger of one, but the city council likes to prove it cares.
Since the town sits on a strip of land a mile wide, there's no shortage of beach side apartments and rental homes in Indian Harbor Beach, though they'll still try to use that as a selling point. No matter where you rent, you'll also have easy access to spas, tennis courts, super posh restaurants -most of which to be found toward the eastside of town. That's not to say little gems don't lay scattered across the town, however.
Your search will turn up both unfurnished and furnished apartments, as the town has a sizable snowbird population. Unlike other vacation towns in Florida that offer weekly deals on apartments and beach houses, you won't have any problem finding rent by the month. Those who sign yearlong leases also receive decent discounts on their rent. There are several pet-friendly apartments on the west side, and even some resort communities welcome them.
On the eastern shore you can find condos for rent that range from miniature palaces to full service beach clubs, with every type of comfort in arm's length. If you want to pay a small fortune for the luxury of sipping coffee to a sunrise every morning, definitely look along the Atlantic Ocean.
