Newly Remodeled Modern Coastal Cottage- Walk to White Sand - Couples Retreat!

This charming vacation rental is a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage featuring a bright open-plan kitchen and living area! It’s ideally located just across from the 20th Ave beach access walkway leading directly to Indian Rocks Beach, Florida!

In only a two-minute walk, you'll be on the soft white sands of Indian Rocks Beach, enjoying the calm, clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. IRB is a peaceful, 3-mile residential beach town just south of Clearwater Beach—ranked the #6 beach in the U.S. in 2022.

This rental property was great! The location was phenomenal, the interior was well maintained and modern, and the backyard space was great. The bed was very comfortable and the addition of the robes was very nice. There were so many small touches to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. I would recommend maybe adding It a table and chairs outside for dining or working. I was not aware that’d this was physically attached to another property, and we could hear a little bit of the conversation from our neighbors. Not a big deal, but seems unclear based on photos. Thanks for such a nice stay!
