Loved the cottage right on the beach in Indian rocks beach. Clean cozy a little dated inside but everything was exactly as the pictures on the website. Checkin was quick and easy as was check out. Onsite community washer and dryer. Walking distance to restaurants shopping and you can ride the trolleys to St. Pete or Clearwater. Awesome stay would go back again anytime.

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.
