The property was fine. There was no hot water but after some investigating, I found 2 tripped breakers and the dryer and hot water came on after I flipped the breaker on. The login information for the wifi was wrong but we figured out how to get on by checking the router. Tried to contact the owner through VRBO 3 tomes and once by email and he did not respond at all.

A lovely cottage in a delightful location a very short walk to Indian Rocks Beach. Thé furnishings and décoré are comfortable and exactly what you need to enjoy this wonderful area. Plenty of beach equipment, a grill and a kitchen with everything you need. But? If you want to eat out? It is located near so many of our favorite places to eat out. Loads (seriously loads!) of closet space, washer & dryer, storage so your stay is neat & organized. Our dogs loved the fenced back yard and we loved the screened porch and cozy white rockers out front. The property people and communication and instructions were great. We hope to visit again soon!

We stayed for a month and loved every minute. The house is very cozy and comfortable. It was perfect for two people. The location is fantastic, one block away from the beach and six blocks from a park with pickelball courts
