Beautiful place in a perfect distance from the beach

Very easy to get to the location, the designated parking spot in front of the unit made it super convenient. The place itself was small but very cozy, My wife and i enjoyed it very much with no complaints. Access to the beach a few feet away was great, we caught the sunset one night and walked the beach at night another night, it was so nice to not have to drive to a place just to do that. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Getaway!

This is such a perfect little place to stay. Just north of town but within walking distance of pretty much everything you'd need. The best part was how close we were to the beach! Adrienne (property manager) was very helpful and fun to just sit an talk to. The Ocean Breeze Inn is its own little beachside community I only wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you for such a fun and relaxing stay!

About the host

Hosted by Betty S

Host profile image
I am a Florida native and have always enjoyed spending time at the beach with my three daughters and their families. (Four amazing grandchildren). Indian Rocks is a wonderful beach with all amenities in walking distance and yet a very laid back Key West type ambiance. So relaxing. The sunsets are beautiful and the surf is perfect for wading, playing in the water or looking for shells

Why they chose this property

The location of this property was the determining factor in purchasing the Gulf Breeze Inn. The kitchens and baths are all new as well as all the furnishings. The outside of the property has been updated and onsite parking is available. The property is located just steps from the sand. It has the old Florida beach feel and yet totally updated. The location can't be beat. It is walking distance to several popular restaurants and other services such as "corner store", hair salon and the marina is less than three miles away and golf is less than 5 miles away. It is truly wonderful and the best place to just get away from it all and totally relax.

What makes this property unique

Rates shown are for 1 bedroom units. The one bedroom units have queen size beds as well as a queen size pull out sofa in the living room The property also has a two bedroom cottage that sleeps 4.
