Rita's Cottage by the Beach - Steps to Ocean!

The property was fine. There was no hot water but after some investigating, I found 2 tripped breakers and the dryer and hot water came on after I flipped the breaker on. The login information for the wifi was wrong but we figured out how to get on by checking the router. Tried to contact the owner through VRBO 3 tomes and once by email and he did not respond at all.

A lovely cottage in a delightful location a very short walk to Indian Rocks Beach. Thé furnishings and décoré are comfortable and exactly what you need to enjoy this wonderful area. Plenty of beach equipment, a grill and a kitchen with everything you need. But? If you want to eat out? It is located near so many of our favorite places to eat out. Loads (seriously loads!) of closet space, washer & dryer, storage so your stay is neat & organized. Our dogs loved the fenced back yard and we loved the screened porch and cozy white rockers out front. The property people and communication and instructions were great. We hope to visit again soon!

Loved the location-so close to the beach

Max's place was perfect! Clean, comfortable beds and other furniture. Cozy but spacious too. Everything you need. Great neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and our favorite restaurants.

Nice property. Quiet neighborhood. Close to beach and food.

Location, location, location! This cozy home is located a block or so from the beach, walking distance to a convenience store and many restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet, safe and friendly. The owners live in the area and are very responsive. There was a minor cable issue and Max was over immediately to help remedy the situation. The fenced in yard was great for my furry friend. Even though she doesn't leave my side, it was great for her, and me, just knowing she could be outside safely. Dogs are not allowed on the beach but there is also a very clean and welcoming dog park a couple of blocks away as well. Excellent location and served my purpose of working away from home, aka the cold, extremely well.

Comfortable clean house in a pretty and walkable neighborhood. A block from the beach (a few more blocks to be by one with public restrooms), close to several places to eat and shop. Lots to do in the area. Loved it.

Location was great for visiting IRB, Clearwater, Dunedin and Honeymoon Island State Park. The cleanliness of the house was amazing. We loved that this gem was pet friendly! Perfect for my husband and I and our small dachshund to enjoy vacation. Love that it has a fenced in backyard that was secure for our dog and the screened in porch was nice to sit outside with him in the shade. The only thing we noticed were small ants running around on the porch and concrete outside but they did not bother our dog nor us. The street this house is on is very quiet. The bedroom was clean and enough space for just us 2. The bathroom was spotless too! They even have a wagon with beach chairs and an umbrella and plenty of clean beach towels to use at the beach if you choose to do that. The beach was within walking distance if you wanted to walk across just the main road. We enjoyed our stay here!

Small little place good enough for two people and a dog. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Close to beach only 5 minutes walk. Owners very helpful and co-operative. I will suggest owners to upgrade kitchen pots and pans to a better quality. Dinner plates and Bowls should be Microwave safe.There should be a fan in the screen room.

Our family had such a wonderful time staying here! It was just what we needed as in location as well as commodities. It was super clean when we got there, and easy to find. We are the type to cook and eat at home most of the time and the kitchen was equipped to do so although if you like to eat out (which we did one night) you are close to a lot of options. The grocery and local seafood shop were a short drive away as well. Speaking of location, that was the greatest thing about the stay if you like to spend most of your time at the beach. It is literally 100 meters from the beach, and it is a nice beach. Without this location we would have missed watching the baby sea turtles hatching which was a once in a lifetime opportunity! There was also a little wagon with beach chairs and an umbrella that was awesome to use, we totally took advantage of it. We hung out and watched Netflix while winding down from our long days at the beach, the couches were comfy and large enough that we could all kinda spread out. There were also lots of clean towels which is a PLUS when at the beach. We loved IRB and our stay at this place, I cannot recommend enough.
