My husband and I enjoyed staying in Debra's IRB cottage. The neighborhood was quiet, and we were steps from the beach. Wonderful for any family.
The cottage was comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed for our two week stay. We recommend Debra's place for all couples or small families.
This was truly a Christmas blessing to find this little piece of heaven . My son returned after 5 years out of country, and had the opportunity to spend 15 days of reuniting with his family and son . The cottage was beyond equipped with multiple supplies and the location was unbelievable! Thank - you Debra for sharing your home away from home with us . We so appreciated .
Second year here and love it. Unfortunately they rented to some else for Feb 2023 without contacting us first. Very disappointed and can’t find another place within this price range.

Ever present owner
Owner made sure to make presence felt on site EVERY DAY. The really intrusive owner came to the front door every other day for 7 days for a number of ‘various’ reasons. She would also camp out mere feet from us on the beach. She would also ask for access to the condo accessories - chairs, umbrellas and the like. Condo was fine - a little mold here and there - but the owner making sure to talk to you orncomw into the condo EVERY DAY of a vacation was a little creepy and intrusive. Great location, but owner is really just too much.
The condo was so well equipped and very clean, we had everything that was needed for a great vacation.. The location was the best, we were hoping to book it for next year but unfortunately, for us, it is already booked. Anyone who books there vacation there will be more than satisfied.
Beautiful place, clean and decorated so cute. Steps from the beach.Plenty of restaurant ‘s . Debra provided everything you needed for a wonderful stay.I definitely would rent again.

About the host
Hosted by Debra
I fell in love with Indian Rocks Beach. IRB is a quiet and quaint Old-Florida community that’s hard to match anywhere else. One stay at my cottage, and you’ll be hooked too. I’m an educator and tennis coach near Chicago, but my heart is in IRB!
What makes this property unique
My home’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico will make your vacation dreams come true. If you prefer the inter-coastal waterway, it’s within few blocks. Whether you walk, bike, kayak, or drive, everything you want is within reach at Indian Rocks Beach!
