We had the best time; the rental was very clean and well decorated. Only a few minutes to the water. Fully stocked. We have this rental saved because we liked it so much; it will be our official IRB rental. The owners were available immediately for a few questions we had; very responsive and friendly! Thank you for making our stay feel like a home away from home.

Best Vacation Ever!

The cottage is immaculate, adorable, and has everything you need! It includes all the comforts of home and everything you need for the beach. The home is located near restaurants, shops, attractions. Yet, the beach doesn’t get too crowded and is just steps from the door. Be sure to try the alligator at Crabby Bills and the ice cream at IRB Creamery.

Wonderful Beachfront Vacation

Rhina and Jim were lovely hosts and communicated everything about their property accurately, in fact the location was even better than I anticipated! I loved sitting on the porch where I could see the water, when we needed a break from the beach. The weather was impeccable, in the 80’ for an April Vacation getaway. I especially loved that there were all the beach supplies we could want, and the dining recommendations were great too! Thanks again for having us and would love to stay at your property the next time we visit Indian Rocks Beach!

About the host

Hosted by Rhina Cortes-Pinciotti - James Pinciotti

Host profile image
Jim is originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Tampa 25 years ago looking for better weather to raise his family. He enjoyed outdoor activities and worked in the Hospitality business for 25 years. Actually he works in the Real Estate Business along with his wife Rhina.
Rhina is from D.R. and as a Caribbean girl she grew up on the beach and enjoyed so many family activities around the water.
Jim knew that in order to keep his wife happy he has to bring her back close to the beach. As they say "Happy Wife.. Happy Life".

Why they chose this property

Jim & Rhina bought this property in June 2018.
Why J&R choose IRB? We have been looking for a place for years along the coast in the Tampa Bay area and we couldn't find anything that filled our expectations. We knew that we wanted something in the Indian Rocks Beach area due to the "Old Florida" beach style. It's very friendly, laid back, not over crowded and offers you that special feeling that makes Indian Rocks Beach unique. As soon as we saw this property it was love at first sight.
Some properties in Indian Rocks Beach are outdated but this one was totally renewed providing that fresh look that invites you to stay there forever. Also the convenience of this location that is just 50 steps away from the sandy beach and at the same time walking distance to local restaurants, shopping centers, bars, and everything that this beach town has to offer.

What makes this property unique

You can sit back, relax and enjoy the laid back atmosphere that Indian Rocks Beach offers from the commodity of this totally renewed beachfront bungalow with brand new A/C, modern kitchen and bathrooms, beautiful decoration selected with the passion and love of their owners. Only 50 steps away from the sandy beaches of Indian Rocks Beach. Enjoy your coffee in the morning on your own front porch and take a peak a boo at the Gulf of Mexico (Indian Rocks Beach) from the partial view that this unit offers.
