Shaded Garden Apartment Steps from the Beach – Nestled beneath sea grapes and swaying palms, Grove is a cool, one-bedroom garden retreat designed for relaxed coastal living. With a full kitchen, open living space, and access to the pool, hot tub, and beach gear, it’s a peaceful hideaway just moments from the sand.
More than 100 years old, the `Floridita` is one of Indian Rocks Beach`s earliest cottages. Lovingly tended to and newly renovated, it is now available for the first time in more than a decade.
The apartment connects to the main cottage along a tree-covered side alley. In the bedroom, there is a queen bed, two bedside tables, lamps, and a full closet with plenty of clothes storage.
The adjoining bathroom contains a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet, with plenty of fresh linens for both home and beach use.
In the open plan living area are an armchair and a loveseat sofa bed with a twin mattress to accommodate another guest.
The kitchen is fully loaded with new appliances and cooking tools, as well as a dining table and chairs.
The apartment has private parking and direct exterior access to Indian Rocks Beach`s sugar sand and the Gulf of Mexico without crossing the street.
Guests will have private use of the entire cottage apartment and secluded patio.
As residents next door, we are generally available to answer questions or respond to comments by text, phone, email, or in person.
The `Floridita` cottage is located off the 7th Ave beach access, and is only 2 blocks north of the Indian Rocks Beach/Walsingham bridge.
The neighborhood`s largest attractions are, of course, its sugar sand and shimmering waves, just steps from the cottage`s front door.
The cottage has free parking onsite for those arriving in their own cars, plenty of space for ride share users, and is two blocks from the major bus stop.
Indian Rocks Beach is fewer than 3 miles long and is very walkable. You`ll find an abundance of eating, drinking, shopping, and recreation activities just a few blocks south, with many other options throughout town to the north.
To travel further afield, the local Jolley Trolley bus offers regularly scheduled routes between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach.
The cottage comes fully stocked with new linens and towels, as well as some cooking and bathing essentials.
Brand new air conditioning, high-speed wifi, and cable television are included, and the on-premises laundry room with washer and dryer is free of charge. House Rules — Indian Rocks Beach Cottage Inn

Quiet ,clean, and safe location. Walkable to a variety of local restaurants and live music. The fenced in yard was a bonus for our two doggies. We look forward to booking again in the future!
Jude the owner and staff are very attentive to your needs, we spent 3 weeks at this cute cottage just step from the gulf beach and had an amazing time. Would recommend this beachside cottage. We can't wait for next year. Thank you!
Great stay. Unit had all the amenities I needed. It was just steps to the beach. The street in front does get busy sometimes, especially on Saturday night.
We enjoyed our stay, the host was very welcoming and was there for anything we might have needed. Clean well kept place to enjoy vacation. Just steps from the beach and located close to many restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.
My pup and I had the best time in this cottage. It is perfect for a mom and her pup. Jude was very nice and accomodating. We will definitely go back. We had a blast!
This quaint, 3-room, 100-year old dwelling hides like a jewel amongst the condos on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. There are some quirks: the bathroom situated between the bedroom and kitchen, and a parking space that requires either backing into or off of Gulf Blvd. It is literally a few easy steps from a beautiful beach with no road to cross. The outdoor space has abundant trees which offer privacy from the condos and the road. The landscaping has been restored so that one would not suspect that Helene had 'visited.' The owner is quite personable and lives on the property. We've shared our suggestions for that 5th star. We would stay here again.
The host was responsive to our request for a few kitchen items. The property was as advertised. The beach was family friendly and a short walk from the property. I had not expected that the house is right beside the main road, so there was noise from all the passing vehicles, and getting into and out of the drive was a bit challenging.We would stay here again.
What can I say, it was steps away from the beach like advertised! And what a great beach. A cute and cozy little place with a small kitchen perfect for cooking breakfast and small meals as needed. The hosts did a phenomenal job with any questions or needs that came up. Very quick to respond. The AC went unexpectedly and the issue was resolved within hours.
