Welcome to Blue Escapes! A newly updated beach cottage within a five-minute stroll from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Blue Escapes is located in the center of Indian Rocks Beach (IRB). IRB is truly the hidden gem in Tampa Bay, FL! Shh! Once you arrive at IRB, you'll feel like you returned to a charming, small beach town. It will evoke childhood memories of summers spent at the beach. IRB has white sand and the most unforgettable sunsets. Your perfect beach getaway awaits at Blue Escapes! 🌊
Step inside Blue Escapes and be greeted by a (newly) updated and inviting atmosphere where the coastal-inspired decor and modern amenities blend seamlessly.
🌊 Two bedrooms
🌊 One bathroom
🌊 Pet & family-friendly
🌊 Wifi
🌊 Within a five-minute walk from the beach
🌊 Beach supplies included during your stay
🌊 Outdoor table & charcoal grill!
Living Room: The open-concept living area is perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. It has comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV for entertainment.
Kitchen: The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. It's fully equipped with all the essentials to cook a meal. A Keurig, organic K-Cups, and Sugar in the Raw packets are provided for your stay. We've got you covered! 🍴
Bedroom: Both bedrooms are thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind! The main bedroom features a queen-sized bed with plush pillows, a cozy lounge chair, a wall-mounted TV, and blackout blinds for uninterrupted sleep. 💫
Bedroom: The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, soft linens, and a plush pillow. A sizeable cozy chair is positioned in the corner for you to sit down and put on your sneakers before heading out for a day of adventure. Both rooms have plenty of hangers for clothes and luggage racks. 💫
Bathroom: Enjoy a coastal and contemporary blue bathroom with a spacious stand-up shower featuring sleek glass and gorgeous tile work. The bathroom's blue color scheme creates a calming and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for washing away the sand and salt from a day spent at the beach. 💦
Outdoor Spaces: Both outdoor areas feature "Tiffany" blue-painted ceilings on the porches, providing a charming touch. These spaces are ideal for relaxing and basking in the Florida sun and fresh air. A lovely new blue ombre mural and a spacious table offer a delightful setting for outdoor dining. It's the perfect place to savor a cold drink and capture a quick photo against the mural. Transitioning to the hand-stenciled front patio, you can unwind with a cup of morning coffee or indulge in a good book. For book lovers, a Little Free Library is conveniently situated across the street. As the sun sets, the twinkling string lights illuminate, creating a magical atmosphere that sets the mood perfectly! 💙🩵
The Beach: While we're not beachfront, the cottage offers the best of both worlds. Just a stone's throw from the beach access entrance, you'll enjoy the convenience of a less than five-minute stroll to the pristine shoreline. Embrace the perfect location for your beach retreat! 🌊
Discover the Vibrant Beach Life: Just a two-minute stroll from the cottage, you'll find the iconic Gulf Blvd. Immerse yourself in a world of culinary delights, tropical drinks, and live music at fabulous restaurants and bars. Indulge in the irresistible flavors of Cafe de Paris and Coco Crush, two of our personal favorites, all within easy walking distance. Experience the perfect blend of beach bliss and exciting entertainment! 🍊
- Forget about packing or renting beach gear! We provide our guests towels, four chairs, coolers, a beach wagon, an umbrella, and sunblock. Additionally, there's a big bag of beach toys for the little ones. ⛱️
- Bedroom two can be reached by passing through the main bedroom, which has access to the laundry room and an outside door. 🛏️
- There are two adult bicycles and one kid bike for you to enjoy during your stay. 🚲
- The driveway fits two vehicles. 🚗
- ❄️ AC INFO: When using the air conditioning between May and August, kindly avoid setting it below 75°F from noon to 8 PM, and remember to adjust it to 78°F when leaving the property. This practice allows the AC to defrost and operate more effectively in the evening.
- Hulu Live is available for cable viewing on all televisions. 📺
