1-min walk from beach! 4-bed house w/ beach gear

Just ½-block from the beach in the charming & laid-back community of Indian Rocks Beach, Breathe Easy Beach Cottage has everything your group is looking for in a beach vacation. Centrally-located and walkable to restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops, boutiques, playgrounds and parks, this sweet cottage is bursting with Old Florida charm, yet fully updated & surprisingly spacious. No stairs, perfect for multi-generational families & groups. Plus all your beach gear is included!

ABOUT THE HOME:
The layout is perfect for small groups (girls/guys getaways) or multiple couples/families traveling together: Two bedrooms and a bath on one side of the house, another two bedrooms and a bath on the other side, separated by plenty of shared gathering spaces in between. PLUS a separate backyard cabana (bonus space).
• On one side of the house you will find the large master bedroom with King size bed, 40” smart TV and en suite bathroom, as well as a second very large adjoining bedroom with a double-bunk bed (full size bed on the bottom and twin size on top, sleeps up to three).
• The other two bedrooms (both Queen size) and a second full bathroom are located on the opposite side of the house, creating the sense of having two semi-private “suites” under the same roof.
• We provide oversized beach towels, luxury linens, spa-quality shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, high-quality bath towels, hair dryers, and two Pack n Plays.
Between these two separate sleeping quarters are the shared living spaces:
• Main Living Room with 65” smart TV
• Fully-equipped Kitchen: fridge/freezer, range, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, family-size toaster and all the pots, pans and utensils you’ll need for creating memorable meals together. A full-size pantry provides plenty of food and beverage storage.
• Dining Room with a huge table that easily seats 10!
• Large "Gathering Room" (2nd living room/family room that is separate from the main living room). This space offers a comfy seating area with a sofa that converts to a Queen size bed. The other end of this room has a table for playing games, doing puzzles or craft projects on a rainy day, or a dedicated work-from-home space that’s away from the main flow of traffic of the house.
• Laundry room with full size washer/dryer, iron & ironing board.

The separate backyard CABANA offers a quiet space away from the bustle of the main cottage. (Use it as a Home Office, Teen Hang-out, She Shed, Man Cave, or all of the above!) If you've got a big group, you'll appreciate having this separate space to get some work done or give the kids a dedicated play space. *Note it is NOT extra sleeping quarters.

You’ll also have exclusive use of the large (and private) backyard including a patio with dining table, gas BBQ and conversation area with Adirondack chairs & cocktail tables.

ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Centrally-located and within easy walking distance to everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. The beach is less than ½ block (1-minute walk) and within just 3 blocks in either direction, you will find:
- A quaint local plaza with an ice cream shop, coffee shop, seafood restaurant, bait shop, yoga and massage studio, nail salon, and barber shop.
- Another small plaza with Grove Surf Cafe (coffee, pastries and light lunch), Pajano’s Pizza & Subs (order your sandwiches for the beach!) and Nekton Surf shop (SUP, kayak & bike rentals, plus great beachwear and gifts)
- Guppy’s and Keegan’s (great seafood restaurants), and TJ’s Italian Restaurant.
- Convenience store with large selection of wine, beer, seltzers, sodas, snacks and grab-n-go foods.
