5min Walk to Beach + King Bed + Free Beach Gear

🌴 Your Coastal Escape Awaits – Just Steps from the Sand!

Picture this: You wake up in a plush king-sized bed, sunlight streaming through the windows, the salty breeze whispering through the palms. You slip on your flip-flops and within five minutes, your toes are sinking into the powdery, sugar-white sands of Indian Rocks Beach. The morning waves sparkle under the sunrise, so clear you can see tiny fish darting through the shallows.

This isn’t just a getaway—it’s your personal retreat, a cozy garden-level apartment where every detail is designed for relaxation and ease.

🏡 A Thoughtful Space for Your Beachside Stay

King Bed Sanctuary: Sink into luxury with a premium king mattress, crisp linens, and blackout curtains for lazy mornings.
Efficiency Kitchen: Compact but fully equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and essentials—perfect for light meals, beach picnics, or morning coffee before heading to the sand.
Full-Size Bath: A clean, modern bathroom with a spacious shower, fluffy towels, and beach-friendly toiletries so you can rinse off the salt and sun.
🌅 Sun, Sand & Sunsets – All Within Reach

5-Minute Beach Walk: No need to drive or haul gear—just grab your towel and go. The warm Gulf waters and endless shoreline are your backyard.
Award-Winning Sunsets: When evening comes, claim your spot on the sand for vibrant pink-and-gold skies—voted some of the most stunning in America.
Outdoor Oasis: Unwind in your private outdoor living area, complete with Adirondack chairs. Sip a cocktail, listen to the rustling palms, and let the ocean breeze melt your stress away.
🚗 Explore with Ease

Walk to Local Favorites: Cafés, beach bars, and ice cream shops are just a short stroll away.
Easy Access to Fun: Close to John’s Pass, Clearwater Marina, and Tampa’s top attractions—but tucked away in a peaceful, residential area.

Location is great! We walked to the beach and to restaurants nearby- all very convenient. Indian Rocks Beach is very close to Clearwater Beach but the vibe is much calmer. More families, less parties though we found great live music at the local restaurants. The room is as described. Bed is comfortable, plenty of room to hang out in the main area. We heard the renters walking upstairs the first night but not again. I’m sensitive to noise so that and the ac is kinda loud. I travel with ear plugs so just a heads up. It wasn’t bad at all. The neighborhood was quiet and safe from what we could tell.

Great location!

The property was smaller than the photos made it look, but was still enough space for my partner and I. Great location in proximity to the beach (really is a 5 minute walk to the beach) and not far from some great local restaurants. Would stay again!

Absolutely adorable

Stayed here for one night, wished we stayed more. Perfect little place for our needs and super close to the beach and restaurants. Loved the fire table outside and the lights. Loved that detergent was available and beach chairs and towels. This unit had everything we needed. excellent water pressure in the shower and loved the decor! Would stay here again, for sure! Also, Matthew was super communicative and answered all my questions. Easy booking process and we were lucky to be able to get early check-in. Thank you!

Great stay at IRB Bungalow

Property was exactly as described. Location was fantastic - 5 min walk from public beach access; lovely residential neighborhood, 5 min walk from bars, restaurants. Property was great for 2 adults doing a short stay. Bathroom is pretty tiny and bathroom sink is miniature. I had to put my contacts using the kitchen sink and counter. That's the only thing that was a little awkward. The 2 beach chairs and umbrella were great. Matthew was a delightful host! Very communicative, truly kind and helpful.
