BEST Location! Very close to beach, dining, shops & pubs. Pet-friendly
Located just a few steps from the gorgeous white sand beach, with a great selection of restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops, boutiques, playgrounds and parks, all within easy walking distance, this charming seaside cottage has everything you need for a carefree beach getaway. Surprisingly spacious and fully updated with modern amenities, it still retains an authentic "Old Florida" vibe and laid-back charm. No stairs, perfect for multi-generational families & groups. Plus all your beach gear is included!
ABOUT THE HOME: The layout is perfect for small groups (girls/guys getaways) or multiple couples/families traveling together: Two bedrooms and a bath on one side of the house, another two bedrooms and a bath on the other side, separated by plenty of shared gathering spaces in between. PLUS a separate backyard cabana (bonus space). • On one side of the house you will find the large master bedroom with King size bed, 40” smart TV and en suite bathroom, as well as a second very large adjoining bedroom with a double-bunk bed (full size bed on the bottom and twin size on top, sleeps up to three). • The other two bedrooms (both Queen size) and a second full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the house, creating the sense of having two semi-private “suites” under the same roof. • We provide oversized beach towels, luxury linens, spa-quality shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, high-quality bath towels, hair dryers, and two Pack n Plays. Between these two separate sleeping quarters are the shared living spaces: • Main Living Room with 65” smart TV • Fully-equipped Kitchen: fridge/freezer, range, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, family-size toaster and all the pots, pans and utensils you’ll need for creating memorable meals together. A full-size pantry provides plenty of food and beverage storage. • Dining Room with a huge table that easily seats 10! • Large "Gathering Room" (2nd living room/family room that is separate from the main living room). This space offers a comfy seating area with a sofa that converts to a Queen size bed. The other end of this room has a table for playing games, doing puzzles or craft projects on a rainy day, or a dedicated work-from-home space that’s away from the main flow of traffic of the house. • Laundry room with full size washer/dryer, iron & ironing board.
The separate backyard CABANA offers a quiet space away from the bustle of the main cottage. (Use it as a Home Office, Teen Hang-out, She Shed, Man Cave, or all of the above!) If you've got a big group, you'll appreciate having this separate space to get some work done or give the kids a dedicated play space. *Note it is NOT extra sleeping quarters.
You’ll also have exclusive use of the large (and private) backyard including a patio with dining table, gas BBQ and conversation area with Adirondack chairs & cocktail tables.

A throwback to old Florida, Indian Rocks Beach features quaint tree-lined streets and beautiful dunes along the beach. This historic hamlet is home to several of the best cafes and restaurants in the area, and wonderful local shops and pubs. It's the kind of beach town your grandparents took your parents to for vacation.

This was such a lovely, easy stay. The cottage had everything we were looking for in a family getaway spot. Plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The beach gear and bikes, the grill and equipment, all got some use. Erika was super communicative and responsive. All the labeled lights and little signs made the cottage really easy to be in. And the there’s the beach access! So wonderful to be just across the street! Amazing sunsets just a few steps from your door! And a light-controlled crosswalk right at the corner so you don’t have to risk life and limb to get there. Absolutely the perfect spot for us.
We had a great stay at Indian Rocks Beach. This house was conveniently located to the beach with all the beach items we needed to spend two enjoyable days on the beach. The back yard is great for winding down and having a drink after our day at the beach. And speaking of a drink, check out Coco's Crush Bar & Gill. Great drinks and food. Highly recommend this location.
Erika was very responsive and helpful! She saved my family vacation at the last moment! Even responded and helped on Thanksgiving. The house was perfect and plenty of space. Everything was new and clean. We cooked our Thanksgiving meal there and did not need anything. Full kitchen! Definitely going again! Can't forget to mention the perfect location. Easy access to beach and local spots. :)
We had a fantastic stay. The house had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The location was perfect, as promised. The beds were super comfortable. The host was friendly and responsive. We would definitely return and recommend!
Property worked well for 8 adults and a toddler. Location was great to the beach and restaurants. The property owner was very responsive and accommodating. Very good value.
House was great. Located in a residential neighborhood near a couple of playgrounds. And a 5 minute walk to beach. It was well equipped and bedrooms were laid out really well. Comfortable living room and dining area. We would definitely return.
Best house we have ever stayed in. It had everything we needed for our stay, plus things we didn’t know we needed! It was well decorated and very clean. The location was perfect. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, and a little convenience store. We plan on staying here for our next visit to the area.
Great location - literally 1 block to beach. Host is great and house is very clean and well equipped - from linens/towels/bikes/chairs/etc.
Highly recommend!
The house was well stocked with everything you need for a nice beach weekend, also with cute beachy restaurants within walking distance . Very short walk across the street to the beach. Hostess was very courteous with excellent t communication. We would definitely consider returning
Great place! Just as listed. Erica was great to work with. Slower paced town. Enjoyed breakfast at many nearby restaurants, days at the short walk to the beach, evenings eating some great seafood and watching the sunset.
My family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children) stayed at this vrbo and it was so clean and loved the adorable beach vibe throughout the cottage. The indoor and outdoor space was perfect for us. The location was close to the beach and to the eating establishments. We took Ubers into Clearwater. They have everything you need to take to the beach which was also nice! Erika was great to communicate with also. We would stay here again!!! We had a great time!
We had a wonderful stay with Kids and Grandkids. The property lends itself well to families. We had 6 adults and 3 children. Plenty if room for all. Beach is only a short walk, especially great for the little owns. Plenty of convenient café, restaurants, ice cream parlor within a vlock or 2. Very nice park for the kids 2 blocks away. Plenty of room for the dog too.
Making memories.
Our group of 4 couples stayed here for a long weekend to enjoy the beach and attend a Titans/Bucs game. The house is just as pictured- well decorated, clean and SO close to the beach! The house had everything you could need, including a big assortment of beach chairs and umbrellas, a wagon to pull it in, and beach towels for each guest. Erika the property manager responded quickly whenever I had a question. And the location cannot be beat- literally a 2 minute walk and you’re on the beach! Highly recommend and would stay here again!
Erika is an outstanding host. She provided clear instructions that made everything easy. We were traveling with our two dogs and three 16 year old girls. We loved having separate wings and the backyard was marvelous for dining and relaxing. The girls walked to the beach several times per day. We would book this property again without hesitation.
My family had a wonderful time at this beach house. We are a family of 10, including children and young grandchildren and this home worked perfectly for us. There was plenty of room, each bedroom was nice with very comfortable beds, bathrooms and kitchen also great and the 2 living rooms worked out so well. The yard was lovely with plenty of seating and having the grill was so convenient as we cooked in most nights. I can’t say enough about how thoughtful and organized Erika, the host is. Her home is very clean and she had every beach supply one would need, especially for children.. we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property. Best of all… the beach is literally across the street!!!
Erika’s property worked great for our family get together. The house was very clean and well-supplied. One of our daughter-in-laws was able to work remotely from the backyard cabana. Access to the beach was great and our grandsons enjoyed the two nearby playgrounds. We hadn’t vacationed on this stretch of the Gulf before-but will definitely return…beautiful, clean and not crowded. Thanks, Erika!
Very well done rental. Well thought out. Contemporary design. Beds were comfortable. There are little signs everywhere around the house so everything runs smoothly. Erika the owner has thought of everything! As for the area : it is more like old Florida which made it charming for us. Lots of great restaurants either a short drive away or in walking distance. The beach is just across the road.
Very clean. Very short walk to the beach, convenience store and Great pizza at Chicago Jaqx. Bikes and beach gear were a plus. I would recommend updating the beach chairs. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the AC in one of the back bedrooms did not work very well to keep the room cool. These couple of things are minor and we still enjoyed our stay very much.
The house was exactly as advertised and Erika’s property made our 1st annual girlfriend week an amazing success. The location to the beach and local restaurants was wonderful since we could walk. The local nature preserve was a great place to walk and explore. Everything was in the house that we’d need for a trip to the beach. The wagon, chairs & beach towels. The backyard was inviting for an evening cookout, cocktails & conversation. We had the pleasure to meet Erika and she was a delight. We will be reserving the house for our second annual girls trip!
Thanks for the wonderful memories made and the laughter shared.
