1 Bedroom Cottage in Indian Rocks Beach

Gulf view! Tucked behind the dunes in Indian Rocks Beach, this historic beachside cottage maintains its classical charm, but with all the contemporary amenities. Built in 1921, this fully-renovated, 2-storey, 1-bedroom home is accessed via a discreet path that leads to the beach. The lower floor consists of an intimate bedroom, updated bathroom, and private patio. A spiral staircase leads to an open living area with a modern kitchen, half-bath, and a private deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
The space
More than 100 years old, the "Floridita" is one of Indian Rocks Beach's earliest cottages. Lovingly tended to and newly renovated, it is now available for the first time in more than a decade.
Upon entering downstairs from a subtropical brick path, there is a queen bed, bedside tables, dresser, armoire, armchair, and desk. The bedroom enjoys its own full bathroom, newly restored with eco friendly bathroom fixtures. Sliding glass doors give on to a private patio, its pergola covered in flowering vines.
Spiral stairs lead up to an open living area with a crisp new euro kitchen and additional half-bathroom. The kitchen is fully loaded with cooking tools, as well as dining table and chairs. A loveseat sofa bed with twin mattress for a third guest sits opposite. This upstairs too has its own exterior door leading to a private deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, with extra seating to enjoy company and delight in the sunset.
Guest access
Guests will have private use of the entire 2-story cottage, including a secluded patio and its own gulf-view deck.
Other things to note
The cottage comes fully stocked with new linens and towels, cooking essentials, some bathing products, and beach chairs.
Brand new air conditioning, high-speed wifi, and cable television are included, and the on-premises laundry room with washer and dryer is free of charge.
If you think you may need more space, please consider also reserving our cottage apartment next door, which also has 1 queen bed and 1 twin sofa bed.

Summary: Here is the perfect spot for one person or a couple. Two friends as well. Easy walk to beach. Less than 30 yards. Has parking. Indian Rocks Beach is so quiet and easy on the soul. Not much traffic. White sand and a calm Gulf with a breeze every day. This is a two story property with spiral staircase. That is the only possible problem for some.
