Fifty Gulfside Condominiums

09/29/2026

It's been 2 years now since Hurricane Helene and her flood waters ravaged our beautiful paradise. I've been thinking about this post, the anniversary and how I will always remember the last two years. This could be a little long...lol.
I was the first one on the property when they allowed us back on the island, and I can say I'm glad I was alone. I cried like a baby. I cried for the destruction to the area, the building, what I knew our owners had lost, for the ordeal we were about to undertake, they guests we may not see again and so much more.
There were lots of emotions.
There still are.
I think we all have a little PTSD from 2024.
There wasn't a lot of time for tears though because the photos and drone videos that had been posted on fb before we could have access to the island didn't even come close to the reality that was right before us and there was work to be done.
So much to empty out of the building.
So many things to be cleaned up and carted off. Everyday was more heartbreaking than the last because everyday there was more and more of people's lives piled up along Gulf Blvd.
Fifty Gulfside lost the whole ground floor to flood waters. The deck, the railings, almost the pool and all the units on the gulf side were completely devastated we even had water in the intracoastal units. Sand filled the hallways, water filled the elevator pit.
So much destroyed so much to build back.
No guests in the building for 6 months. 6 months!! That was hard. No people in a building that is constantly full of life. People that are more like OUR family than guests. We were really missing you, but you guys showed up for us. Those that still came to the area while we were closed and stopped by to see us, the cards, the calls...It meant so much to us that you all constantly reached out and checked on us and our progress, the support and good vibes on all of our posts. You showed up for us, you made us feel like YOUR family.
We have lost some of our treasured repeat guests that we didn't get to give a proper goodbye during our recovery time and you will always be missed but we have also acquired a lot of wonderful new guests along the way and part of the reason for that is because our wonderful 50 family that welcomed the newbies with open arms.
We appreciate every one of you that came and stayed regardless of the construction. Who still come to your home away from home without fail. You are one of the reasons Fifty Gulfside is such a wonderful place to be and we wouldn't be what we are without your support.
It has been a long 2 years.
A lot of blood, sweat and tears have been shed to get back to whole, but Baby, we're back!! Better than ever.
THANK YOU to everyone that makes Fifty Gulfside the best place to be.

It has been 670 days since Hurricane Helene was just over 100 miles off our coast.
Who knew what devastation she would leave in her wake. It has been a long recovery for Fifty Gulfside but this was the last (almost) piece to the reconstruction project. We will have permanent steps and landing installed at the beach access once turtle season is behind us, but our deck and railing have been installed and they look great!
We appreciate everyone that has come and stayed with us during our reconstruction. To all of our repeat guests, THANK YOU for coming back to your second home and always giving us your support, it means so very much and we are so grateful to have such wonderful friends, we are BLESSED to have you! And to all of our new guests that gave us a chance even while we were rebuilding, we are so pleased to welcome you to the Fifty Family!
Please don't think that everyone is where we are at, we would appreciate your continued support and prayers for those that are still recovering on our beautiful beaches.

We're ready to get you the sweet spot on the deck, perfect for relaxation, just call to reserve your condo now!

This was a message that was sent to us by one of our guests and I was asked to share since he was unable to post it to our page.
Dave Schaffer we are so privileged to be able to be a part of your journey. I hope that she will be able to make it back yet again.

Was hoping to leave a message in the page in regards to our latest stay.
Fifty Gulfside is incredibly awesome. The post Hurricanes rebuild is beautiful. The current office administration is friendly, personable and professional. They made us feel like family and took great care of my family. Our recent visit was to take my Daughter and her Husband and 2 boys to the beach as she has been suffering from Stage 4 Cancer. When we decided to do this trip for them last year we didn't know if she would be able to experience it. The last year of Chemotherapy, which Doctors stated hasn't had a good affect on this type of Cancer and they give her a year at most. Well, her multiple tumors have shrunken and she has a better quality of life now. Organizing the trip with Manager Katrina, Condo owner Sharon Zimmerman had been absolutely amazing. Such good and wholesome folks. The new deck, pool rebuild, the office, new elevator and newly rebuilt first floor are all completed and beautiful as well. The beach is as gorgeous as ever.
Again a super loud shout out to all at 50 Gulfside!!

Hello all...good news and bad news. Bad news first, we'll end with something nice
Beginning May 18, the city will start charging for parking. $4.50 an hour- 7 days a week- from 8am to 10pm. In addition to the new parking fees, parking violation charges have been increased from $75 to $100. You can get more details on the city website indian-rocks-beach.com click the "paid parking" tab. It is pay by app, there will be no pay stations.
Everyone that knows 50 knows we don't have extra parking so we urge all of our guests to take that into consideration when thinking about bringing more than one vehicle.
Good news, the back south deck has been framed out and is ready to have the planking start going down tomorrow. We are so close to being back whole.
The temps are hot, the beach is beautiful and the water a tropical blue.
Make your reservations now, we can't wait to see you!!

Hello everyone. It looks as if our deck project has a change to the timeline. What they thought would be a two day job of setting pilings, has turned in to a crazy rock filled nightmare for the construction crew. They have hit big rocks while drilling out the post holes and it is taking a lot longer to get them in place. We are expecting continuing work on the south end of the back deck for the next 3 to 4 weeks. While it is a little distracting at times, the weather is perfect and the beach is beautiful. Call the office if you have questions. 727-595-6739
Monday through Friday is best for calls. Ask for Katrina.
