About this property

Backyard is the BEACH/Unique Beach House/Beautiful

Welcome to “Coquina Beachfront Haven” by Clearwater Beach Vacation Homes


Step into a coastal dream at our cherished beachfront property, nestled on the sun-kissed shores of Indian Rocks Beach. Our home, steeped in history, stands as one of the original homesteads of Indian Rocks Beach, offering a blend of classic charm and modern comfort.

Experience serenity and the lull of ocean waves in our spacious main house, boasting a trio of second-floor bedrooms with breathtaking views and an easily accessible bath just outside all the rooms. Downstairs, you'll find another bathroom amid a canvas of homely amenities.

Just a sea breeze away is our inviting cottage. On its first level, a cozy bedroom awaits alongside a welcoming kitchen and a snug sitting area equipped with cable TV, perfect for intimate evenings or a lazy afternoon. Ascend to the cottage's upper sanctuary where a sumptuous queen bed, cable TV, and an additional bathroom offer a private retreat under the stars.

Every corner of our beachfront abode whispers tales of laughter, rest, and memories waiting to be made. It's more than a vacation home—it's a gateway to the salty allure of the Gulf, a space designed with joy and intended for connection. Here, the sunsets paint the sky daily, and the sand beckons for barefoot adventures.

Let our home be the canvas for your next unforgettable getaway. Discover, indulge, and allow the spirit of the sea to infuse every moment. We can't wait to welcome you to your paradise found.

The property features a main house with three bedrooms and a cozy two-bedroom cottage. The cottage functions like a duplex, with separate units on each floor. The first floor is reminiscent of a small hotel suite, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, sitting area with a TV, and a kitchen. The second floor offers a standard hotel room setup, featuring a bed, bathroom, microwave, and mini fridge.

We had my daughter’s wedding on the beach in front of the house , it was absolutely gorgeous and what my daughter had dreamed of for years. Definitely picked the perfect house. The 2 units in the back were perfect for her brothers and the 3 bedroom house made it enough room for everyone. I just can’t say enough positive things about this house . Thank you for letting us stay

We had a blast. Amazing location. Beautiful beach. House was just beautiful with breathtaking views. Alan was amazing to work with. Very responsive and caring. Checked on us multiple times to make sure our stay was great and if we needed anything. Our family LOVED IT. We would rate it 10/10 stars (sparkling stars as my niece says). Simply wonderful. The most beautiful sunsets.

Great Property

The house is in a great location for a week or weekend at the beach. While it's not a brand new house, it's full of character and charm. We had 8 adults stay for a long weekend and it was awesome! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a location in the area. We are looking to come back in the summer.

Whole family spent a week, and it was perfect. Amazing beach front setting. Gorgeous sunsets. House and out-buildings fit our family well and were all in great shape. House is such a classic. And walking to restaurants, brewery and store is so convenient and charming. A perfect week.

Great Stay!

This property offers a comfortable roomy stay with a breath taking view. We went with our five adult children a friend and two grandchildren. Everyone was extremely comfortable. The kitchen is a great size and the dining table size was also great. Plenty of space for everyone to visit but also allows for folks to congregate in different areas of the home-sitting area, den and beautiful porch. The AC works great. Washer and dryer were also wonderful.The blower was very handy as it allowed for very quick clean up of sand. We will definitely consider staying here again. The property managers were very easy to work with and communicated quickly.

The house I've been looking for!

This is such a great house! I'd been looking for an older house right on the beach in this area for several years, and so glad I found this one. It was perfect for my family and had everything we needed: a well stocked kitchen with wine cooler, brand new pack-n-play, beach towels, beach chairs and toys, etc (need to bring or rent your own beach umbrella if that's your thing). The beach was spacious and not crowded at all, and literally steps away from the house. There are lovely mature trees and loads of space for parking (rare in this area). The property seems to be maintained well by the property management company, and they proved to be fast and friendly responders whenever we needed something. I highly recommend this place - 6 out of 5 stars. And I will definitely be back!

Fantastic Beach Location

The Coquina house was a wonderful experience for our family and we hope to return for an annual stay. This unique house is lovely. Plenty of room for 3 couples and three older children. The kitchen and eating area was spacious, and there were plenty of kitchen tools, dishes, glasses, dish towels, etc. which made preparing meals very easy. The location was outstanding, as we were footsteps to the beach. We did our best to keep the sand from getting inside, and perhaps a hand-held vacuum would be a good idea to keep inside by the door. There was a rechargeable blower to use outside which did come in handy. There were plenty of towels provided, which was nice. We would recommend this property to any family or group. Just wonderful.

Perfect getaway!

Beautiful property, amazing view, perfect location. The house has all the space and amenities you need. The property is steps from the beach, with a bit more landscaped privacy than the surrounding homes. Location is perfectly situated. Management was amazing, but not intrusive. Without a doubt, we will be back.

You are so kind! We worked hard to make the Coquina property exactly as you describe it - an immaculate place to share time with any small group up to 12 people! So glad to see that resonates with you! We think the setting helps create intimacy for our guests. Very few rental homes in Indian Rocks Beach offer This kind of privacy, beach views. Having easy access to a setting like this is almost unheard of so we feel extremely fortunate and love to share this with our guests. You and your group were super clean and tidy and we appreciate that very much. You treated The Coquina property as if it were your own! Please come back soon! -
