About this property

Right across from the beach! Walk to restaurants, pubs & shops, 4-bed, sleeps 10

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!

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. Best of all… the beach is literally across the street!!!

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.
