Guest Access:

You have the entire BACK cottage. The FRONT bungalow is a separate rental unless you

reserve both. Direct beach access from the backyard is shared with guests of the property behind,

and the tiki hut with the television out front is a shared space as well.



The Neighborhood:

Indian Rocks Beach is a small, residential Gulf Coast community — unhurried, neighborly & refreshingly unpretentious. Please respect quiet hours in the evenings and follow local community guidelines.



Getting Around:

The beach is out the back door and Gulf Blvd shops sit within a few blocks, but we do recommend bringing a car.

John's Pass is 15 minutes south, Clearwater Marine Aquarium about 20 minutes north, Tampa International 34

minutes out. Two driveway spaces come with the cottage.



Other Things to Note:

• Tiki area & seating is a SHARED space

•Exterior security cameras are installed on the property.

•Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are in place.

•Please follow the City of Indian Rocks Beach Noise and Occupancy Regulations during your stay.

•Six guests maximum.

•For everyone’s protection, we require either a small non-refundable damage waiver or a refundable security deposit at booking.



•Sea turtle nesting season runs May through October 🐢 If you notice nesting activity, please admire from a distance—protecting this beach is part of what makes it so special.



Interaction with Guests:

We give guests complete privacy to settle in and enjoy. All check-in details will be shared before arrival. We're always available through messaging and will respond promptly to anything you need.
