- "We really enjoyed our stay at Indian Rocks Rentals. The Cozy Cottage was just what we were looking for. It was very comfortable and I can't say enough of how dog friendly it is. We have 2 dogs and like to take them with us when we can. The court yard was fenced in so we could let them out while we cooked on the grill in the evening. The location is also great. The cottage is just a block off the beach and in walking distance to restaurants and an English pub. Roxanne and Brian have it dialed in for pet owners to travel. We will come back to stay again. ~Thanks again, Lori and Jim and of course Merlin and Penny, Florida Atlantic Coast" (fall 2010)
- "We had a great month. Hope to see you next year. ~ Our Best, Martha & Ralph, Boardman, Ohio" (January 2010)
- "We spent a month in Indian Rocks Beach in the Cozy Cottage. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is well equipped and very well located, only minutes walk to get to the beach. We went there everyday. We brought our bikes and rode them every day, mainly on the Pinellas Bike Trail. This trail is very nice, paved and takes place over 49 miles through cities and wilderness areas. We traveled along its entire length and particularly enjoyed the section between Honeymoon Island and Tarpon Springs, very nice. We also rode the trail to St. Petersburg and really enjoyed the St.Petersburg Pier .
But the most important point is the quality of reception. The owners, Brian and Rox were friendly and concerned about our comfort and well-being during our stay. Always ready to render service and to inform us, really strong point of Indian Rocks Rentals! They provided us a great service when we had mechanical problems with our car. For this we are very grateful. In short, they are great! We have no hesitation in recommending a stay at Indian Rocks Rentals! ~ Carole et Robert, Piedmont, Québec - Canada" (October/November 2009)
- "Thank you! Everything has been great! ~ Traci, Jasper, MO." (May 2009)
- "Rox & Brian, Thank you so very much. We had a wonderful time here and take with us a lot of awesome memories. ~ Thanks again and be well. Fondly, Suzanne & Arnie, Long Island" (April 2009)
- "We loved the entire experience! Indian Rocks Beach is the perfect destination to just get away...we went to a lot of different beaches up and down the coast from Clearwater to St. Pete, and Indian Rocks Beach was our absolute favorite! Beautiful sand, warm, clear ocean, and gorgeous sunsets. I also loved the little eateries within IRB, all within walking distance! We tried a lot of the local quisine, and loved it. Some of the places we stopped in were Guppy's, Cuso's, the Thai resturant, PJs, Pinky's Ice Cream (the best in IRB), TJ's, Keegan's, and a bunch more. Also, using the PSTA trolley was a great option for us, so there was no need to rent a car. I would highly recommend staying in Indian Rocks Beach. It was an absolute pleasure! ~ Jacob & Candi, St. Louis, MO" - (June 2008)
- "You will not be disappointed at all ,what you see on their web site is exactly how they look, they are very nice and very clean. They have everything you will need for the beach for kids and adults they even have beach towels and sunscreen!! They are always there if you need something. Very nice people! Will rent from them again. ~ Kim - Tampa, Florida" (Sunset Villa & Cozy Cottage - June 2008)
- "We spent a month with Brian and Rox when we rented their condo in Indian Rocks Beach. The condo is lovely, looks exactly like the pictures on their website so we had no unpleasant surprises. It was very clean and neat and had everything we needed. The sunsets on the beach were breathtaking and the food at the wide selection of restaurants close by was absolutely fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying there to our family and friends. Brian & Rox were great hosts! ~ Mike & Jan & canine friend Mikey - Coopersville, Michigan" - February/March 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011)
- "Hi Brian and Rox-The new pics are great and they make us smile when we look at them. We had such a great vacation! The cottage is well maintained and the decor is beautiful,very fitting of the area! We were comfortable from the moment you showed us around and felt at home instantly. Being so close to the gulf was a plus, with the gulf breeze amazing! We would chose to stay at our home away from home again and again!~ Ron and Tina,Chincoteague Island Virginia" - March 2007, 2008, 2010 (Cottage) - 2009, 2011 (SunRise Villa)
- "We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful week. Your cottage was the perfect place to come on our honeymoon. We looked at all sorts of options for our stay in Florida from condos to hotels, and we are so glad we found your rental. For others looking at staying here, its location is perfect. It took us about three minutes to walk from the house to having our feet in the water. At first when we were looking for a place to stay, we wanted something right on the beach, but this is actually better. We were away from the noise of the main street and other tourists, and felt like we had a more quiet and relaxing getaway because of it, yet still felt like we were right on the beach. Everything about the rental was even better than we expected. It was very clean, new, and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay from laundry soap to beach towels, chairs, and coolers. The cottage is also in a great neighborhood with friendly neighbors, and it's nice to be so close to the inter-coastal waterway as well so we could see dolphins and different varieties of birds. Brian and Rox, you were awesome hosts! We felt so comfortable and welcome here. You were so helpful and we appreciate everything you did for us to make this such a wonderful and memorable vacation. We definitely recommend this to anyone looking for perfect accomodations for a great vacation! ~ Brian and Kira - Cedar City, Utah" (April 2007)
- "We really enjoyed our stay. A quiet setting, conveniently located, in short, a perfect get away! The accommodations are very nice inside and out. The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything was clean and well arranged. Our maintenance issue (the shower) was promptly dealt with. Frankly I didn't think it would be fixed without tearing a wall or two apart! We were so pleased to find it running at full capacity after a day of walking the beach and visiting a nearby nature preserve. ~ Ken & Caryn" (April 2007)
- "Hi Rox and Brian, Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our time at the cottage. Thanks again, ~ Tricia, Tania, Tara and Matt, Texas" (June 2007)
- " Hi Brian & Rox, Everything about the cottage was better than we expected. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. If anyone is looking for a quiet location, less than a five minute walk to clean and uncrowded beaches with beautiful sunsets and no beach vendors, we recommend staying here. We found a low-keyed place to stay in IRB. ~ Ken & Grace, Burbank, Il" (June 2007)
- "Hey Rox, Ravyn and I really enjoyed our stay and couldn't have been more comfortable in the condo. It had everything that we could possibly need! Indian Rocks is a great little town! Keep me posted on when you get the other apartment done as I would love to see pictures of it and hopefully be able to come back down again next year with a few more people! Thanks for everything! ~ Missi & Ravyn, St. Ann, MO" (August 2007)
Our Pet Policy
We love pets, and offer 3 pet friendly homes for our responsible pet-owner guests to choose from. So pack-up your canine, feline or feathered friends and bring them along.
We require all pets to be listed on the rental agreement at the time of signing. Two weeks prior to your stay we require a note from your vet verifying that your pet is current with all of their vaccines, licenses, prescription heartworm, flea, and tick medications. In addition, all guests are personally responsible for cleaning-up after their pets (whether on our property, or during a walk around the neighborhood). Please email or call us if you have additional questions regarding our pet policy.
Each pet friendly home has a fenced yard for your canine friend. There is also a neighborhood leash-free dog park available for your enjoyment during your visit, and the Belleair Bridge Dog Beach is just around the corner. We also have two excellent animal hospitals nearby so your pet is never far from medical help if needed.
Our Smoking Policy
Many of our homes have private yards, patios, or outdoor deck areas where smoking is permitted.
Smoking is NOT permitted inside any of our homes.
This policy is strictly enforced, and violation of this policy will result in immediate early termination of the lease agreement, and forfeiture of your security/damage deposit. If the lease agreement is terminated for violation of this policy, we do not provide refunds for the remainder of the rental term. This applies to all types of smoking tobacco's & herbs. No exceptions!
Our Reservation & Cancellation Policy
We require a 50% reservation deposit and signed rental agreement to hold your desired dates. The balance is due at time of arrival. Cancellation periods are based on several factors, including: time of year, length of stay, etc. Please inquire to find out what our cancellation period is, for your specific, desired dates. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, money order or travelers check (USD). Sorry, no credit or debit cards.
It's not, "too good to be true"... it's just modestly priced, we promise!
Beach rentals are rapidly changing on the Gulf coast of Florida. Many of the small, affordable, family and senior friendly, mom & pop motels have been razed and replaced by large, privately owned million dollar condominiums. It is becoming very difficult to find vacation rentals that are affordable on a more modest budget or fixed income.
After searching for rentals and comparing rates, many people call and ask us why our rentals are so "cheap"... they want to know why our rates are so much less than other comparable rentals in our area? Here is why...
We are able to keep our rental rates to a minimum because we have cut costs in the following areas:
1. We do not accept credit cards
2. We advertise very little and rely primarily on referrals
3. We are on-site and maintain the property ourselves (we do not pay a management company).
So, if you are planning a vacation and you think you might like to stay with us, please book your reservation early! We promise you will not be disappointed.
Ride the Beach Trolley...
Our Indian Rocks Beach vacation rentals are all conveniently located and within walking or bike-riding distance to: shopping, dining, live entertainment, parks, tennis, fishing, churches, hair/nail/massage salons, public boat launch, and the Beach Trolley stop.
For your convenience, we offer 2 adult beach cruiser bicycles and a couple of 2-person kayaks; available for your use during your stay with us. The Beach Trolley is equipped with a bicycle carrier, and is a great way to get out and explore some of the neighboring beach towns or nearby mainland towns, via the Pinellas Trail.
Indian Rocks Beach has several lovely parks scattered throughout the city. All of the parks are located within walking or bike-riding distance of our rental homes. Pack your picnic basket and spend the day exploring all of the wildlife that call these parks their home. Many of our parks have covered pavilions with picnic tables. Or maybe you prefer to dine under a large oak tree, or to enjoy your meal on a sunny dock overlooking the intracoastal waterway? Whatever your preference or desire, we have a park nearby that will exceed your expectations! The sights, sounds and smells of these wide-open outdoor spaces are sure to calm the nerves and provoke a peaceful, relaxed state-of-mind.
You don't need to "stay on the beach" to "play on the beach". All of our rental homes are just a few minute stroll from their front doors, to having your toes in the warm white sand and crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The City of Indian Rocks Beach maintains 27 beach access parks located all along the main Gulf Blvd. corridor. Four of our homes are just 7 houses away from the 20th Avenue beach access park, one is beachside and has private beach access, and the other is just a few minute stroll to the 17th Avenue beach access park. Limited parking spots are available at these accesses, and if you choose to drive, the trip takes about one-minute.
Take-In the Sights...
Our rental homes are surrounded by the intracoastal waterway to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Our kayaks are a great way to get-out on the water and see the city from a different perspective. Take some time and paddle to one of the nearby spoil islands for bird watching, or grab your fishing license and a pole, and head-out past the Gulf buoys for some nearby-off-shore fishing.
Looking for a faster-paced option? Then you might want to rent a boat or waverunner for the day. Or maybe you don't want to be the captain... then you might want to consider taking a sunset dinner cruise. Whatever your preference; you'll find what you're looking for, in IRB!
