Charming Beach Bungalow: Family-Friendly, Steps to the Beach & Perfect Location!

Welcome to your perfect coastal getaway at our Beach Bungalow in charming Indian Rocks Beach! Recently voted as the #2 Romantic Getaway in the US by Coastal Living, this is the ideal place for families, couples, and beach lovers looking to escape to sun, sand, and relaxation.

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, our cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bath townhouse offers a refreshing coastal vibe with charming Southern décor. We’ve thoughtfully updated the kitchen and bathrooms, blending modern comfort with a relaxed beach atmosphere. The home is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light filling every space, creating the perfect setting for your beach retreat.

Step outside and find semi-private beach access just a short stroll away, along with over 10 restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, boat rentals, a water park, and even a brewery, all within walking distance. Whether you’re enjoying a sunset walk along the shore, indulging in a delicious meal nearby, or simply unwinding at the bungalow, you’ll feel right at home.

Designed with families in mind, we offer a host of amenities to make your stay stress-free. From toddler and baby toys, a crib, high chair, and baby gate to beach chairs, umbrellas, and a beach cart, we’ve got everything you need for a perfect vacation. Our fully-stocked kitchen makes cooking at home a breeze, and for a special evening, fire up the outdoor grill and relax on the covered patio.

The master suite, located on the private third level, is a true retreat, complete with a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, and a private balcony. The master bath features a spacious shower and a luxurious freestanding tub—ideal for unwinding after a day of beach fun. The second bedroom on the main floor offers a queen bed, ample closet space, and easy access to a full, newly renovated bathroom.

With a sleeper sofa in the living room, the bungalow comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. After a day of beachside adventures, kick back and enjoy our Smart TVs and Wi-Fi, or indulge in one of the games and puzzles we have available. Your comfort is our priority, so we provide sheets, towels, coolers, boogie boards, and all the beach gear you’ll need to make the most of your time in paradise.

Come experience the charm, comfort, and convenience of our Beach Bungalow—where memories are made, and relaxation is just a few steps away from the sand.

We can’t wait to welcome you!

This was the first leg in a beach/orlando trip, was definitely an awesome stay! Great location right around the corner from the beach and ice cream across the street for the kiddos! Clean and stocked well for a family of 5, only slight issue is the upstairs bedroom/bathroom stays somewhat warmer then downstairs but we used 2 fans and was able to manage just fine!

Loved the Beach Bungalow and can't wait to return!

Perfect spot, perfect size, great amenities. There was just the two of us, but there was plenty of space to return with our teenage son. Two bathrooms, large master suite, great upstairs deck, beach toys to borrow and close to all our favorite sports: Crabby Bills, LuLu's, PJ's , Lighthouse Bakery to name a few. Beach within a block. Will definitely book again and go back as soon as we can.

Great Experience!

We had a great time on this trip. My friend and I are educators, and were looking to get away for a few days on our spring break - this place was perfect! The space was clean and homey, located on a quiet residential street, with a close walk to the beach. There were plenty of things to explore within walking distance. The beach was beautiful - we were able to see dolphins, rays, and even a manatee during our short stay! Highly recommend, and would definitely stay again!
