About this property

Steps to the Beach, No Car Needed, Completely Permitted Remodel + King Size Bed!

PLEASE NOTE- Due to damage caused by Helene, this little bungalow has been a complete remodeled (WITH PERMITS) so the inside pictures although current, do not reflect how beautiful this property truly is. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed….with the new kitchen island, brand new walk in shower with grab bar, and stainless steel appliances including a french door refrigerator;)

***Please check out the video that was taken just before the remodel was completed and the final touches were made. Again, I'm not a professional photographer so please bare with me...lol***

Did you say white quartz sandy beaches and stunning multicolored sunsets? Yes…and less than a block away from your front door when you stay at Plum’s Paradise.

Calming colors of turquoise and tropical patterns throughout this fun and tastefully decorated boho hideaway are sure to ease away any stress. This gem is one of only two units available (convenient if you want to bring more friends or family). It was completely remodeled in March 2025 with new furniture and stocked with all the comforts of home.

Featuring a full kitchen, living room, and a king size bed. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with meticulous attention to detail, beautiful kitchen island with seating, soft close drawers, lazy suzan in the corner, a deep farm style sink with a beautiful quartz counter top plus all NEW appliances, including a dishwasher.

This piece of paradise has a large tropical enclosed yard to enjoy while sitting on lounge chairs and sipping on your morning coffee, or snacking on some local take out on the outside patio set.

BONUS…NO CAR NEEDED
Just steps to white sandy beaches and less than a .5 block to Gulf Boulevard…You are in the main hub of it all; Restaurants, Beach Access, Music, Parks, Pubs, Groceries, Shopping, Yoga, Ice Cream, and More.

My Happy Place

This cottage picks up the Indian Rocks Beach vibe in the decor, is very close to the beach and still feels very private. Sabrina responded immediately to my texts. Perfect for a solo traveler but could certainly house more.

Great Stay in IRB

Stephanie was an excellent host, checking in to make sure everything was going well without being excessive. The property was exactly as it appears online and I was able to access the property easily with the information provided. The location can't be beat with several local restaurants within walking distance and the beach across the street. I hope to return!

Perfect for 2 and close to the beach

Our stay at the beach cottage was perfect. It’s only a 2 minute walk to the beach and the cottage comes stocked with everything you need - including beach chairs, umbrellas, wagons, coolers, beach toys, and even bikes! The house itself had plenty of necessities including toiletries and kitchen supplies. The cottage is beautifully decorated and charming, and was spotlessly clean. The outdoor area was a plus as well. We loved our stay here and would come back again in the future!

We arrived and everything was perfect and just as described. So many little extras that made this a great beach rental. The owners were so responsive and provided us with all Of the info we could ever possibly need. They provided a notebook that had Tons of information about the rental and IRB. We would definitely rent from them again if it was just my husband and I.

Wonderful

This was our second time staying in the same unit; Sabrina and Bill are always so attentive and responsive. Unit was clean, spacious and well appointed. Everything we needed for the beach was conveniently located in a separate shed/area (new) and there were plenty of items available. Beach is less than a 2 minute walk and we love that the town added the cross walk signals since our last visit. Close to bars/restaurants/cafes, no issues with noise from the bar or the street. Overall it was a wonderful stay as usual and we hope to return next year once our vacation weeks are confirmed.

Nice relaxed getaway

This nicely renovated 1950’s cottage has everything needed for a chill beach stay. It is a very short walk to the beach and local restaurants. It’s a short drive to Clearwater and dolphin excursions etc. The host is easy to communicate with. The property is clean and well kept up. Off street dedicated parking. Safe- key code changed with each guest. Basic beach fun items included. Quiet (although I was not there during the busiest time of year). Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Bill

Host profile image
Hello, first and foremost I am a very proud mama. I have a daughter, a wonderful fiance, 2 dogs, and a gran-doggy. I love sharing our pieces of paradise by taking care of our vacation rentals in Florida and Arizona. I have a passion for traveling and exploring new places through food and fun. Some of my favorite things include farmers markets, spending time with my family, and of course eating yummy food.

Why they chose this property

Location is key and this little town still feels sandy and beachy. With limited high rises it doesn't feel like a concrete jungle. Only .5 block from Gulf Blvd and 1 house from the park. This beachy bungalow is just steps away from restaurants, bars, coffee shops, yoga, ice cream, pickle ball courts and 15th Ave beach access.

What makes this property unique

I have been managing these properties since we acquired them over 5 years ago. Honestly, they are my babies;) I have carefully curated every piece of furniture and decoration that awaits your arrival. Every piece is meant to make you smile...to create a feeling...a feeling of peace, a feeling of fun, a feeling that you are on vacation! Our properties are clean and uncluttered with a beachy, tropical vibe. They feel like paradise! Come and check us out;) This beachy bungalow is waiting for you!
