Such a clean little unit! Quick walk to the beach, and not much further to walk to crabby bills or CVS. Plenty of beach chairs to choose from to take to the beach in a wagon. We enjoyed our weekend stay!
Small, but perfect for a smaller family! King bed was very comfortable, twin bed is in main bedroom. Kitchen has everything needed to cook. Window unit AC was great for keeping room colder at night. Walk to the beach is very short! Overall was great. Would come back again!
It is a perfect location for a relaxing beach vacation.A short walk to the beach or restaurants and shopping.Mike was very helpful during entire process from booking to check out.Ample Parking lot in back of cottage
As advertised. Host was communicative and helpful. Parking is easy and spacious. Quick walk to the beach even for three hip, 2 knee veterans. Carts and chairs available. Beach is beautiful!
We rented for 4 nights. Arrived to an extremely clean unit, everything within walking distance. Access to the beach was close and they provided a wagon to easily transport the beach chairs they also provided. Parking in back was great. I will be recommending this unit to family and friends for sure!
This place was perfect for my girlfriend and I. It was a very short walk to the beach and we were able to watch the sunset over the gulf all 4 nights we stayed. The owner was very helpful with recommendations and making sure we were happy. We will be staying here again if we come back to Indian Rocks Beach
Great location, gorgeous views, delicious food in the area. Property is as described, comfy bed, clean shower and new kitchen. Steps away from the beach access. We will definitely come back
Loved this place, so we extended our stay for an extra week! Super easy communication with the property owner. Love the close location to everything, very easy walk to the beach! Great little spot for a small family.
Our host accommodated a request for an early check-in. Thank you. The unit was clean;bath towels, beach towels and sand chairs were of the highest quality. The best part was the three minute walk to the beach; not an exaggeration; a morning walk, home for lunch, an afternoon of beach reading, home for tea. Several nice eateries very nearby.
This place was perfect for my last minute trip. It's everything that I needed, and the perfect size to not be overwhelmed with alot to cleanup on my way out. The location is great if you are planning on visiting Clearwater, St. Pete or Tampa. The hosts were extremely easy to work with and the place was very clean. Highly recommend!

Really liked this place. It was clean and very close to the beach. It was also very affordable. The owners instructions for directions and entry to the house were excellent and easily followed. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back to stay
Very nice apartment. Great parking which has been an issue at other places we have stayed in Indian Rocks. Not directly on beach but less than 3 min walk. Would definitely stay again.
A very easy half block from beach access. We were loaded down with chairs and cooler and it was a very easy walk. The beach is beautiful! A really nice bonus is that our area of beach seemed less crowded than a quarter mile in either direction. Our unit was on the ground level. It was comfy, clean, and conveniently located. We parked our car and walked everywhere, which is much easier than trying to find parking elsewhere! There's a full sized fridge, electric stove, and dishwasher, a drip coffee maker, too! A covered patio in the back has room for 6 at the table so you can catch a nice breeze while relaxing or having a snack. We are already looking forward to a longer return visit soon!!
Mike was a great host. Was very flexible with getting us booked last minute. I'd highly recommend this for any couples looking for a 2 person vacation. Close to the beach, 3 minute walk wasn't an exaggeration! We didn't have a cooler so we would just walk back for lunch and drinks. Walked to a different spot for dinner every night.
