Review
My brother and I enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and the location was great. My only disappointment was with the very weak shower water pressure. The bathroom had been updated, including a beautiful shower. But the shower itself had very week water pressure. Overall I would recommend the unit but the water pressure issue needs to be addressed. If that is addressed we would definitely consider staying again.

Great location
The location is the best. Walkable to everything including the beach. However, the pictures posted did not match the cottage. It's much older and not as nice as the pics show.

Steps from the sand
An old fashioned beach cottage with modern conveniences. Good AC. Wifi and TVs.. Small but you’re there for the sand which is only steps away. Lovely beach.

Very comfortable and a great location
We had a ball at The Reef and really appreciated the pool, the beach access, and the easy proximity to all of the amenities in Indian Rocks Beach plus access to every around us.
