Wonderful Host
My husband and I enjoyed staying in Debra's IRB cottage. The neighborhood was quiet, and we were steps from the beach. Wonderful for any family. The cottage was comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed for our two week stay. We recommend Debra's place for all couples or small families.

It was amazing little cottage
This was truly a Christmas blessing to find this little piece of heaven . My son returned after 5 years out of country, and had the opportunity to spend 15 days of reuniting with his family and son . The cottage was beyond equipped with multiple supplies and the location was unbelievable! Thank - you Debra for sharing your home away from home with us . We so appreciated .

Host profile image
I fell in love with Indian Rocks Beach. IRB is a quiet and quaint Old-Florida community that’s hard to match anywhere else. One stay at my cottage, and you’ll be hooked too. I’m an educator and tennis coach near Chicago, but my heart is in IRB!

What makes this property unique

My home’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico will make your vacation dreams come true. If you prefer the inter-coastal waterway, it’s within few blocks. Whether you walk, bike, kayak, or drive, everything you want is within reach at Indian Rocks Beach!
