About this property

🏖️ 2-min walk to the beach 🏖️Ultra Clean Cozy Cottage - 5⭐️ stars ⭐️

Introducing this charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage, Sandy Feet Cottage, nestled just across the street from the 20th Ave beach access walkway onto Indian Rocks Beach, Florida (IRB). The cottage boasts an open-plan kitchen, dining room, and living room space, providing a delightful and inviting atmosphere. The property has recently added a state-of-the-art water softener for your convenience.

A mere two-minute stroll from the front door leads you to the breathtaking white powdery sands of Indian Rocks Beach and the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Unlike the bustling tourist hub of Clearwater Beach just a few miles north (rated the #6 beach in the US for 2022), IRB offers a serene residential beach town experience. Free from the tourist frenzy, IRB is a peaceful island community, providing a tranquil escape while remaining close enough to Clearwater for those seeking livelier surroundings.

Sandy Feet Cottage has undergone a complete renovation, transforming it into a luxurious vacation retreat. Every detail of this private duplex home has been tastefully upgraded and decorated. The interior features all-new furniture, creating a bright and airy ambiance in the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas, as well as in the spacious bedroom and spa-like bathroom.

The cottage comes with a generously sized private backyard, shared with Sandy Toes Cottage, including a hammock and bicycles. Sandy Feet Cottages has its own private patio equipped with relaxing chairs, a fire pit, and a BBQ grill, offering an ideal space for relaxation. Just a quick 2-minute walk away are the beach, local restaurants, bars, and shops. Beach essentials such as chairs, umbrella, and cooler are provided, ensuring you have everything you need for a day at the beach.

Upon arrival, guests are encouraged to 'check in' on the cottage iPad, loaded with information and suggestions about the area, including trash day pick-up and codes for the complimentary beach box stocked with essentials for a fun day at the beach.

Living nearby, the host is committed to ensuring your stay is comfortable and may occasionally stop by to say hello. Rest assured, your comfort is a top priority, and communication is always swift through this platform's messenger.

Perfect cottage
Adorable, well appointed, and comfortable cottage. We had everything we needed and even a hammock to relax into while enjoying the back garden. Owner/host is responsive to communication and offered many recommendations for places to eat and enjoy. Will definitely keep this cottage in mind for future trips!

Soccer trip
We enjoyed the house and the yard especially! Our girls loved using the bikes, the swings and games and taking walks to the beach. It was the perfect little get away for a soccer tournament.

Perfect location & they thought of everything!
We are so glad to have found this spot! The beach was so close, clean and not crowded, and the owners had the house fully stocked with everything we could need! From beach accessories and towels to all the kitchen staples - the owners thought of everything. We are looking forward to returning next year and making this our annual vacation destination!

Perfect girls trip getaway
We had such a fun weekend at Barbara’s place in Indian Rocks. She truly thought of everything including with this vacation rental. It was beautifully decorated and the beds were quite comfortable. There are ample charging stations for electronics and if bringing a family, we even spotted a pack and play and high chair. We utilized the wagon for the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided daily. The outdoor space is a little tropical haven with comfortable Adirondack chairs. We knew the pics looked lovely but this rental far exceeded our expectations. It is 3 blocks from the beach and walking distance to numerous restaurants. Our favorites die Guppy’s, Keegan’s and Villa Gallace. Book this rental, you won’t regret it.
