West of Gulf Blvd, this upper cottage unit overlooks a canopied path to the beach. A partial gulf view shows tropical foliage with sand and sparkling aqua waters at trail's end. Multiple cushy spaces are offered throughout for optimal relaxation from built-in dining, bar, living room, sitting room, to the outdoor living room on the deck.

A distinctive ambiance can be felt due to a modern, clean aesthetic that makes beloved Old Florida elements shine. Amid upgrades, preserved vintage features call back to the property's history as a former gulf-side bed & breakfast and TV show pilot filming location. Cozy niches all about create the gentle magic one can feel when surrounded in every room by regional and unique titles and objects of art on handsome shelves. Local artists' work graces the walls to honor place and history.

A peaceful away-from-it-all vibe contributes to feelings of calm thanks to being tucked up away from traffic and passersby. An abundance of natural light fosters good energy and makes everything gleam. Top quality furnishings and fixtures have been curated to offer comfort, convenience and elegance.

Altogether, through soothing sensory design, cottage architectural character, charming Indian Rocks Beach, fabulous Tampa Bay offerings and a wondrous seaside location that enables you to immerse yourself in nature, guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind lodging experience.

This property is beachside with deeded beach access. While it includes the beachfront path, the cottage itself is not a first-line beach property, rather it is one row back.
