About this property

Newly Remodeled Modern Coastal Cottage- Walk to White Sand - Couples Retreat!

This charming vacation rental is a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage featuring a bright open-plan kitchen and living area! It’s ideally located just across from the 20th Ave beach access walkway leading directly to Indian Rocks Beach Florida.

In only a two-minute walk, you'll be on the soft white sands of Indian Rocks Beach, enjoying the calm, clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. IRB is a peaceful, 3-mile residential beach town just south of Clearwater Beach—ranked the #6 beach in the U.S. in 2022.

Enjoy a sunny open kitchen, a spacious bedroom, and a spa-like bathroom.
