About this property

BEST Location! Very close to beach, dining, shops & pubs. Pet-friendly

Located just a few steps from the gorgeous white sand beach, with a great selection of restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops, boutiques, playgrounds and parks, all within easy walking distance, this charming seaside cottage has everything you need for a carefree beach getaway. Surprisingly spacious and fully updated with modern amenities, it still retains an authentic "Old Florida" vibe and laid-back charm. No stairs, perfect for multi-generational families & groups. Plus all your beach gear is included!

ABOUT THE HOME:
The layout is perfect for small groups (girls/guys getaways) or multiple couples/families traveling together: Two bedrooms and a bath on one side of the house, another two bedrooms and a bath on the other side, separated by plenty of shared gathering spaces in between. PLUS a separate backyard cabana (bonus space).
• On one side of the house you will find the large master bedroom with King size bed, 40” smart TV and en suite bathroom, as well as a second very large adjoining bedroom with a double-bunk bed (full size bed on the bottom and twin size on top, sleeps up to three).
• The other two bedrooms (both Queen size) and a second full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the house, creating the sense of having two semi-private “suites” under the same roof.
• We provide oversized beach towels, luxury linens, spa-quality shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, high-quality bath towels, hair dryers, and two Pack n Plays.
Between these two separate sleeping quarters are the shared living spaces:
• Main Living Room with 65” smart TV
• Fully-equipped Kitchen: fridge/freezer, range, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, family-size toaster and all the pots, pans and utensils you’ll need for creating memorable meals together. A full-size pantry provides plenty of food and beverage storage.
• Dining Room with a huge table that easily seats 10!
• Large "Gathering Room" (2nd living room/family room that is separate from the main living room). This space offers a comfy seating area with a sofa that converts to a Queen size bed. The other end of this room has a table for playing games, doing puzzles or craft projects on a rainy day, or a dedicated work-from-home space that’s away from the main flow of traffic of the house.
• Laundry room with full size washer/dryer, iron & ironing board.

The separate backyard CABANA offers a quiet space away from the bustle of the main cottage. (Use it as a Home Office, Teen Hang-out, She Shed, Man Cave, or all of the above!) If you've got a big group, you'll appreciate having this separate space to get some work done or give the kids a dedicated play space. *Note it is NOT extra sleeping quarters.

You’ll also have exclusive use of the large (and private) backyard including a patio with dining table, gas BBQ and conversation area with Adirondack chairs & cocktail tables.

ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Centrally-located and within easy walking distance to everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. The beach is less than ½ block (1-minute walk) and within just 3 blocks in either direction, you will find:
- A quaint local plaza with an ice cream shop, coffee shop, seafood restaurant, bait shop, yoga and massage studio, nail salon, and barber shop.
- Another small plaza with Grove Surf Cafe (coffee, pastries and light lunch), Pajano’s Pizza & Subs (order your sandwiches for the beach!) and Nekton Surf shop (SUP, kayak & bike rentals, plus great beachwear and gifts)
- Guppy’s and Keegan’s (great seafood restaurants), and TJ’s Italian Restaurant.
- Convenience store with large selection of wine, beer, seltzers, sodas, snacks and grab-n-go foods.
- Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve (Scenic park with a boardwalk through a lush mangrove and a fenced dog park)
- Kolb Park (playground, skate park, pickleball & tennis courts)

About the host

Hosted by ERIKA DIETZ

Host profile image
My husband and I live right here in the neighborhood and are happy to share recommendations for our favorite local restaurants and shops. Originally from Buffalo, NY (me) and the Netherlands (my husband), we moved to Indian Rocks beach in 2020. What we enjoy most about being hosts is creating beautiful spaces where people can have a worry-free holiday and enjoy our wonderful little beach community. We're here to help with whatever you may need for a great vacation!

Why they chose this property

Indian Rocks Beach is a throwback to "Old Florida." While nearby places (such as Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach or St. Pete Beach) are loaded with high-rise hotels, condos and chain restaurants, Indian Rocks Beach (or "IRB" as we locals call it) is still mostly single-family homes, vintage beach cottages and locally-owned businesses.

Here you will find live music almost every night, tree-lined streets and local parks, and a low-key uncrowded stretch of white sandy beach. Of all the Gulf Coast beach towns, IRB is the most charming and authentic. If you're looking for a "laid back, beach town" vibe, this is it!

What makes this property unique

I've been rated as a Premier Host for over a decade because go the extra mile to ensure my properties are beautifully decorated, sparkling clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and stress-free vacation.

This Beach Cottage is in the heart of Indian Rocks Beach and walkable to many wonderful shops, restaurants, bars & cafes. The laid-back vibe will make you feel that you have left your cares behind and stepped back in time to a simpler way of life.
