About this property

1-min walk from beach! 4-bed house w/ beach gear

Located less than ½-block from the beach, Breathe Easy Beach Cottage is walkable to restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops, boutiques, playgrounds, parks and tennis courts. This sweet cottage is fully updated and includes all of your beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, toys, cooler, beach wagon and 2 bicycles). Comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests

ABOUT THE COTTAGE:
Layout is perfect for a family vacation, small groups (girls/guys getaways), or multiple couples/families traveling together: Two separate bedroom/bathroom areas, with plenty of shared gathering space in between, PLUS a separate backyard cabana (bonus space).
• On one side of the house you will find the large master bedroom with King size bed, 40” smart TV and en suite bathroom, as well as a second very large adjoining bedroom with a double-bunk bed (full size bed on the bottom and twin size on top, sleeps up to three).
• The other two bedrooms (both Queen size) and another full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the house, creating the sense of having two semi-private “suites” under the same roof.
• We provide oversized beach towels, luxury bath towels and bed linens, spa-quality shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, hair dryers, as well as two Pack n Plays and one highchair.

Between these two separate sleeping quarters are the shared living spaces:
• Main Living Room with 65” smart TV
• Fully-equipped Kitchen: fridge/freezer, range, microwave, dishwasher, disposal, coffee maker, family-size toaster and all the pots, pans and utensils you’ll need for creating memorable meals together.
• Dining Room with a huge table that easily seats 10!
• Large "Gathering Room" (2nd living room/family room that is separate from the main living room). This space offers a comfy seating area with a sofa that converts to a Queen size bed. The other end of this room has a table for playing games, doing puzzles or craft projects on a rainy day, or a dedicated work-from-home space that’s away from the main flow of the house.
• Laundry room with full size washer/dryer, iron & ironing board
The separate backyard CABANA offers a quiet space away from the bustle of the main house. (Use it as a Home Office, Teen Hang-out, She Shed, Man Cave, or all of the above!) If you've got a big group, you'll appreciate having this separate space to get some work done or give the kids a dedicated play space. *Note it is NOT extra sleeping quarters.
Large (and private) backyard patio with dining table, gas BBQ and conversation area with Adirondack chairs & cocktail tables.

ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Centrally-located and within easy walking distance to everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. The beach is less than ½ block (1-minute walk) and within just 3 blocks in either direction, you will find:
- A quaint local plaza with an ice cream shop, coffee shop, seafood restaurant, bait shop, yoga and massage studio, nail salon, and barber shop.
- Another small plaza with Salt Public House (awesome food, drinks and outdoor patio), Pajano’s Pizza & Subs (order your sandwiches for the beach!) and Nekton Surf shop (SUP, kayak & bike rentals, plus great beachwear and gifts)
- Guppy’s and Keegan’s (great seafood restaurants), Chicago Jaqx (Pizzeria & Taphouse), TJ’s (Italian restaurant)
- Convenience store with large selection of wine, beer, seltzers, sodas, snacks and grab-n-go foods.
- Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve (Scenic park with a boardwalk through a lush mangrove and a fenced dog park)
- Kolb Park (playground, skate park, pickleball & tennis courts)

WHAT ELSE YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS COTTAGE:
• Everything is on one level (no stairs to climb!)
• Fully-fenced back yard
• We provide all the beach gear you’ll need for a stress-free holiday: Beach chairs and umbrella, Cooler (with wheels, of course!), Float toys, Boogie Boards, and beach towels and even a Wagon for hauling it all in! There are also 2 (two) bicycles (with locks and baskets) for your exclusive use.
• We live by The Golden Rule: “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” The owners live just a few blocks away, so if anything needs attention during your stay or you'd like recommendations on local businesses and services, we're here to help.
• Everything is Super Clean! This cottage has been completely renovated and updated, and is also professionally cleaned between each stay, ensuring you’ll arrive find it fresh & sparkling.
• We are pet friendly (certain limitations and breed restrictions apply, maximum 2 pets).
• Keyless entry – arrive when you like with no worries about picking up or dropping off keys.

Here at Breathe Easy Beach Cottage, you will find your perfect inspiration: sun, sand, surf, nature walks and bike rides, a wide variety of water sports, great restaurants/pubs/shops, sunset strolls on the beach...this is the perfect spot to clear your mind, soothe your soul and Breathe Easy!

Please note that you are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. Thank you in advance for being considerate!

Location and more to enjoy!

The house was just right for our large group of 8 plus a baby with space for sleeping and eating both inside and outside. We enjoyed all the house had to offer: the bikes, the cabana, the closeness to beach and restaurants, the plentiful beach "toys". A few minor issues were taken care of immediately by Erika. All and all we enjoyed our family celebrations in a lovely place.

Family time

Erika’s property worked great for our family get together. The house was very clean and well-supplied. One of our daughter-in-laws was able to work remotely from the backyard cabana. Access to the beach was great and our grandsons enjoyed the two nearby playgrounds. We hadn’t vacationed on this stretch of the Gulf before-but will definitely return…beautiful, clean and not crowded. Thanks, Erika!

Great house a Indian Rocks Beach

Very well done rental. Well thought out. Contemporary design. Beds were comfortable. There are little signs everywhere around the house so everything runs smoothly. Erika the owner has thought of everything! As for the area : it is more like old Florida which made it charming for us. Lots of great restaurants either a short drive away or in walking distance. The beach is just across the road.

Clean, cozy and close to beach

Very clean. Very short walk to the beach, convenience store and Great pizza at Chicago Jaqx. Bikes and beach gear were a plus. I would recommend updating the beach chairs. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the AC in one of the back bedrooms did not work very well to keep the room cool. These couple of things are minor and we still enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect Location!

Overall great experience! The house is located just a short walk from the beach which is absolutely gorgeous. I also enjoyed Indian Rocks coffee shop which is just around the corner. The house itself is decorated so nicely and has plenty of sleeping areas. I also love how they supply beach bikes! Communication with hose was very easy. If I were to offer one small suggestion it may be to get a gate on the side of the yard to help those people traveling with pets. But truly, they really have thought of everything! Thank you!

Just as advertised

We enjoyed our stay at this beach home. The pictures accurately depicted what the home looks like and the amenities it has. We greatly appreciated the towels, toys, wagon and other items that were provided to help us enjoy the beach. The unit was clean and comfortable. I would have appreciated the ability to control the HVAC temp myself, but Erika did accomodate my request to make it cooler than the default temperature. She was always responsive to messages. We would stay at this unit again.

The perfect place for the family

Erika’s house was perfect for our Summer beach trip. We honestly didn’t know a ton about the area, but just wanted to be close to the beach and walkable to restaurants, stores, etc. What we discovered is how charming Indian Rocks is in that it was more laid back than Clearwater to the North and St. Pete to the South. We had access to it all but preferred the more quiet and less congested beach town. Erika is amazing in her organization and communication as a host. The house is exactly as described and was clean, comfortable, attractive in its decor, and again, so so close to the beach and dining. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Great winter get away

The house was lovely and appointed with everything you would need. The access to the beach was right across the street. A bit of construction on a nearby pool and a new house going up across the street but the owner has no control over this. My only suggestion is to put up a privacy fence and gate (security for your pet) on the other side of the backyard and do some yard cleanup. Otherwise it was great.

Excellent adaptability with last minute issues

Erika is a great host. I booked her house for me and my family but I was not able to join them. I’m from Mexico and my husband from Colombia so our family and friends are not used to the renting policies and rules. Unfortunately, we had some issues with check-in and number of people arriving at the property. Erika was great at communicating her concerns and we were able to find a solution together to solve the problem and our family and friends were able to enjoy every minute of her place and the proximity to the beach! I love the fact that Erika was friendly, respectful, and accommodating even when the people broke a couple of arrival rules. I hope that I can utilize her space in the future for myself and my husband. Her place is just as described and seen in the pictures and the close proximity to the beach is a plus!

The home is beautifully appointed, better than well equipped. Erika has thought of everything! The split floor plan worked incredibly for our group. Two single moms with 4 kids, they had one side and the adults on the other. Beds were very comfortable, slept like baby's, all of us. The "cabana" ourside was more like a secluded office space, perfect for work. I cant say enough, dont delay, if its available....book!!We walked to TJs Italian restaurant, unbelievable food, ice cream shops in the evening were such a sweet treat for all of us. Beach is basically right across the street!! We will be back...

Beach retreat

My family had a wonderful time at this beach house. We are a family of 10, including children and young grandchildren and this home worked perfectly for us. There was plenty of room, each bedroom was nice with very comfortable beds, bathrooms and kitchen also great and the 2 living rooms worked out so well. The yard was lovely with plenty of seating and having the grill was so convenient as we cooked in most nights. I can’t say enough about how thoughtful and organized Erika, the host is. Her home is very clean and she had every beach supply one would need, especially for children.. we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by ERIKA DIETZ

Host profile image
My husband and I live right here in the neighborhood and are happy to share recommendations for our favorite local restaurants and shops. Originally from Buffalo, NY (me) and the Netherlands (my husband), we moved to Indian Rocks beach in 2020. What we enjoy most about being hosts is creating beautiful spaces where people can have a worry-free holiday and enjoy our wonderful little beach community. We're here to help with whatever you may need for a great vacation!

Why they chose this property

Indian Rocks Beach is a throwback to "Old Florida." While nearby places (such as Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach or St. Pete Beach) are loaded with high-rise hotels, condos and chain restaurants, Indian Rocks Beach (or "IRB" as we locals call it) is still mostly single-family homes, vintage beach cottages and locally-owned businesses.

Here you will find live music almost every night, tree-lined streets and local parks, and a low-key uncrowded stretch of white sandy beach. Of all the Gulf Coast beach towns, IRB is the most charming and authentic. If you're looking for a "laid back, beach town" vibe, this is it!

What makes this property unique

I've been rated as a Premier Host for over a decade because go the extra mile to ensure my properties are beautifully decorated, sparkling clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and stress-free vacation.

This Beach Cottage is in the heart of Indian Rocks Beach and walkable to many wonderful shops, restaurants, bars & cafes. The laid-back vibe will make you feel that you have left your cares behind and stepped back in time to a simpler way of life.
