Mia also went above and beyond accommodating our needs as guests and made us feel at home during our stay. ##### Christiana R. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff S.

The garden and BBQ areas had plenty of tables and chairs, so when we had family over to cookout it worked out great. The beach and a little restaurant is a very short walk a way. Thank you to our hostess Mia for very enjoyable stay ##### Jeff S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer G. Jan 15, 2018 #### Perfect vacation rental! Mia was an absolute joy to work with during our entire vacation rental experience. We rented her entire house (unit 1 and unit 2). We had so much space! The house was tastefully decorated, supplied with everything we needed, and very clean. The beach was a short walk across the street, which we absolutely loved! We also enjoyed spending time grilling on the awesome patio. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Indian Rocks Beach area! You won’t be disappointed! ##### Jennifer G.

My fiance, his 12 yr old daughter, and fiance's parents had a blast. It was so wonderful to be so close to the beach and the wonderful beach cart, chairs, cooler and umbrellas really came in handy! We had ice cream every night which was just a very short walk away. We even were able to walk to two different restraunts and walk to a convince store which was less than half a mile away. The condo was very comfortable with kitchen nessestites to cook in. Even a waffle maker! ##### Hannah D. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert V.

This property was perfectly located an very easy 25 min drive away. Apartment was clean and comfortable, well appointed and private. The beach is right across Gulf Blvd and easy walk. Beach chairs and umbrella made available was a nice touch. Many great restaurants in the near vicinity - highly recommend Keegan's! Mia was easy to work with. Will definitely keep this in mind the next time we are in town, hopefully for longer than 3 nights. High recommended. ##### Robert V.

Aug 17, 2014 #### Trully a Paradise Across the Beach Thank you so very much for a truly relaxing vacation. This place has it all! Central location, near many dining choices, convenient short walk across the street to the beach and stunning romantic sunsets. The patio oasis was the best place to relax and read my book without the interruption and noise of people walking and playing along the beach. I loved the décor, very clean and modern. We loved going to Kooky Coconuts for the best ice cream and their sandwiches were very good too. We recommend taking the trolley, which stops right in front of the duplex. We enjoyed the scenic drive up and down the whole strip of the beaches. ##### Mercy H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marissa C. Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Simply amazing!!! We had the best time staying here. The walk to the beach was so short and simple. We were able to walk there and back multiple times a day, even with 3 kids. We loved all of the amenities provided and our house was spotless upon arrival. Mia made everything so simple and easy, and even let us extend by a day because we were having so much fun. The local area is amazing. Clean beaches, cute shops, amazing food. We walked to many of our dinners and lunches, and walked to get ice cream and two separate shops. The house being in the center of all the towns was perfect because it made the drive to everything so simple when we left Indian Rocks. We had an absolute blast. We will be back. Don’t miss out on this amazing property, you won’t regret it!!! ##### Marissa C. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tim W.

We stayed in Unit 1 which was facing the blvd and the shore right across the street. Sunsets were beautiful and beach access is right there. Common outdoor area is very nice and well maintained. The rental has a beach cart and sand toys, chairs, cooler and umbrellas for your use. We brought ours but we wouldn’t have needed it if we didn’t because it is all there provided. An outdoor grill and fire pit are also in the outdoor common area. The unit was in great condition with beach and nautical decor everywhere. Technology and wi if available for the unit in every room. The owner also has a binder with useful information and local guides and restaurant menus for your convenience. We had an excellent stay and plan to return. ##### Ramon C.

Feb 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Can't Say Enough Nice Things About El Palmar Cottage and Mia I have stayed in a many VRBO properties over the years, and this ranks as one of the best we've ever visited. My husband, sister and I, along with two senior dogs, spent a week at El Palmar Cottage. The photos are great; the cottage is even better! It is one of the best appointed properties we have ever stayed at. It was beautifully appointed and decorated, clean as a whistle, and conveniently located. Sadly, the weather was less than ideal (cold, windy), but we were perfectly happy to cocoon inside. We cooked quite a few meals ourselves and found the kitchen to be one of the best-stocked we've ever visited. On top of a thoughtfully decorated and laid out space, this was also the most welcoming VRBO for dogs we have ever visited. There was a padded dog blanket in the living room (in a basket marked "Woof") and plenty of extra blankets in a second basket. Here was the part we did not expect: the cottage is literally right around the corner from a community dog park that has its own shower and doggie shampoo! We met a lot of nice local dogs and owners during daily visits to the park. The lounging area underneath the cottage was terrific, too. It was just a shame that the cold weather drove us indoors when the sun set. Mia could not have been nicer and more helpful in communicating with us during booking, check-in and check-out. I was so over the moon with the cottage when we arrived that I sent her a text telling her how beautiful it was. Thank you again, Mia. I am only sorry we never got to meet face-to-face so I could thank you in person for creating such a lovely and welcoming getaway! ##### Anne B.

Just me and my adult son. The space was very nice and fit our needs. Clean, nicely decorated and close to the beach! Just what we needed. Ask close to several restaurants. Only downside was the construction on the home next to us. They started about 7:00am and worked all day so no sleeping in and we really didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space. However we did use the grill, which was in great shape. Overall, great trip, great space. I’d gladly stay here again. ##### Duane M. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert M. Mar 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, nice, great extra's, NOT right across from the beach. Only 2 negatives first: 1. This is not right across from the beach, but either cross the busy road and a SHORT walk North to beach access, or an even shorter walk South to cross walk, then back North to the beach access. 2. While the inside repair was great, the outside needs a little attention. Screen door not close well, latch not work well, ceiling of the carport (newly redone) coming loose (few small pieces landed on our vehicle). The GOOD: Clean, newly remodeled and looks new, nice layout, large rooms (but for OK bath size), inside picture very accurate, very quite inside (remember busy road out front !). Good beds, just about everything you would need to cook etc. The shared outside room under the side away from the road was quite quiet. Not screened, but no bugs at all while we were there, and better than pictures from chairs, fire pit, tables, hammocks AND lots of beach chairs, shades, toys AND carts to wheel to the beach. REALLY NICE. ##### Robert M. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy K. Jan 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed our stay in Indian Sands This property met our needs perfectly! Although I knew the street we were on was a typically busy beach area, 2 lane road, at night there was very little traffic and the area was pretty quiet. Every block there is access to a very nice beach. Boardwalks take you to the sand and the walk is about 100 feet to very calm gulf water. There are pedestrian crosswalks with flashing lights every block or so to cross the street. There are no lifeguards and no dogs are allowed. This is also a turtle nesting sanctuary from May-Sept. with lighting restrictions. We enjoyed Unit One. Linens were provided, as was a nice set of cookware, utensils and dishware. Martini and wine glasses were also available. Dishwasher soap, kitchen towels and paper towels were also provided. We felt that the owner provided things you need when you first arrive. We cook our meals traveling and this unit had a nice, big, clean refrigerator and stove/oven unit. The outside area had 2 glass top tables, plenty of chairs, a working gas grill, firepit and lots of beach accessories were available. We needed ac a couple of days and the heater and ac worked quietly and efficiently. The unit is very nicely decorated and our dog was welcome with a non refundable fee. The owner was easy to get ahold of when we had some questions. This was a wonderful stay for us and should we return to Indian Rocks we hipe staying at this property again. ##### Stacy K.

We crossed the street and walked a half block and we were on the beach!! The property was clean and spacious. There were chairs, umbrellas, coolers and carts that made the time at the beach even more relaxing. Mia was available to us and responded to texts quickly.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nichole G. Mar 31, 2019 #### Amazing Place to Stay!! Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at El Palmer Cottage! Indian Rocks Beach is a fantastic place for families to enjoy a relaxing, quiet beach atmosphere. Palmer Cottage is cozy and clean, suited with everything you need for a comfy stay. Most importantly, Mia is great to work with! ##### Nichole G. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela R. Mar 9, 2019 #### Great place and location Mia was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Location was between St. Petersburg and Clearwater. Could see the beach across the street and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets. ##### Angela R.
