Built in 1921, this fully-renovated cottage apartment is accessed via a discreet path that leads to the beach. The suite consists of a queen bedroom, full bathroom, updated kitchen/living area, and private patio just steps from Indian Rocks Beach’s famed sugar sand and the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico. More than 100 years old, the "Floridita" is one of Indian Rocks Beach's earliest cottages. Lovingly tended to and newly renovated, it is now available for the first time in more than a decade. The apartment connects to the main cottage along a tree-covered side alley. In the bedroom, there is a queen bed, two bedside tables with lamps, and a full closet with lots of clothes storage. The adjoining bathroom contains a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet, with plenty of fresh linens for both home and beach use. In the open plan living area are an armchair and a loveseat sofa bed with a twin mattress to accommodate another guest. The kitchen is fully loaded with new appliances and cooking tools, as well as a dining table and chairs. The apartment has private parking and direct exterior access to Indian Rocks Beach's sugar sand and the Gulf of Mexico without crossing the street. Guests will have private use of the entire cottage apartment and secluded patio. As residents next door, we are generally available to answer questions or respond to comments by text, phone, email, or in person. The cottage apartment comes fully stocked with new linens and towels, as well as some cooking and bathing essentials. Brand new air conditioning, high-speed wifi, and cable television are included, and use of the on-premises laundry room with washer and dryer is free of charge. If you think you may need more space, please consider also reserving our historic cottage next door, which also has 1 queen bed and 1 twin sofa bed. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling - Unit size: 600 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82240000/82237600/82237547/01cb182e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Condo w/ KING sized Bed!
