    Blissful beach days await at this cozy house, where you can take it easy in the lanai overlooking the grassy backyard or lounge beside the water at Indian Rock Beach. With a sunny interior full of comfortable furnishings and a convenient location near the water, this house is an ideal retreat!

    Bring your favorite book out to the screened-in patio to read as you sip your morning coffee. Your furry friend will love romping around in the fenced-in backyard while you get ready for the day.

    Prepare a breakfast feast in the well-equipped kitchen where you're sure to find everything you need. The cabinets have ample storage space for all of your cooking needs and a breakfast bar with 2 stools so you can grab a quick bite on your way out the door. Through the detailed doorway, the dining nook has a wood table with benches to comfortably fit your whole group.

    Take a break from your adventures and recline on the comfortable couches in the living area. Spend an afternoon watching movies on the flat-screen Smart TV using the cable and wireless internet access.

    The Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve has a boardwalk to a dog park and beach that everyone in your group is sure to enjoy during an evening stroll after dinner. When you return, go into either one of the serene bedrooms and cuddle into the plush bedding for another restful night of sleep.

    -- THE LOCATION --

    The Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve has a boardwalk that winds through lush mangroves. McGough Nature Park is 1.6 miles away and is home to dozens of native species you can encounter up close.

Located 9 miles away along the waterfront, Johns Pass Village is accessible by boat and car, and the quaint turn-of-the-century fishing village boasts over 100 merchants with shopping and dining.

    Three miles from the house, the Florida Botanical Gardens offers an urban oasis with tropical flora and fauna. Busch Gardens is 35 miles away, promising hours of fun in the sun.
