About this property

Just steps to the beach! Walk to restaurants/shops. Beach gear & bikes included.

Located less than ½-block from the beach, Breathe Easy Beach Cottage is walkable to restaurants, bars, coffee & ice cream shops, boutiques, playgrounds, parks and tennis courts. This sweet cottage is fully updated and includes all of your beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, toys, cooler, beach wagon and 2 bicycles). Comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests

ABOUT THE COTTAGE:
Layout is perfect for a family vacation, small groups (girls/guys getaways), or multiple couples/families traveling together: Two separate bedroom/bathroom areas, with plenty of shared gathering space 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 another 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 bath towels and bed linens, spa-quality shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, hair dryers, as well as two Pack n Plays and one highchair.

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, disposal, coffee maker, family-size toaster and all the pots, pans and utensils you’ll need for creating memorable meals together.
• 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 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 house. (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.
Large (and private) backyard 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 Salt Public House (awesome food, drinks and outdoor patio), 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), Chicago Jaqx (Pizzeria & Taphouse), TJ’s (Italian restaurant)
- Convenience store with large selection of wine, beer, seltzers, sodas, snacks and grab-n-go foods.
- Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve (Scenic park with a boardwalk through a lush mangrove and a fenced dog park)
- Kolb Park (playground, skate park, pickleball & tennis courts)

WHAT ELSE YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS COTTAGE:
• Everything is on one level (no stairs to climb!)
• Fully-fenced back yard
• We provide all the beach gear you’ll need for a stress-free holiday: Beach chairs and umbrella, Cooler (with wheels, of course!), Float toys, Boogie Boards, and beach towels and even a Wagon for hauling it all in! There are also 2 (two) bicycles (with locks and baskets) for your exclusive use.
• We live by The Golden Rule: “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” The owners live just a few blocks away, so if anything needs attention during your stay or you'd like recommendations on local businesses and services, we're here to help.
• Everything is Super Clean! This cottage has been completely renovated and updated, and is also professionally cleaned between each stay, ensuring you’ll arrive find it fresh & sparkling.
• We are pet friendly (certain limitations and breed restrictions apply, maximum 2 pets).
• Keyless entry – arrive when you like with no worries about picking up or dropping off keys.

Here at Breathe Easy Beach Cottage, you will find your perfect inspiration: sun, sand, surf, nature walks and bike rides, a wide variety of water sports, great restaurants/pubs/shops, sunset strolls on the beach...this is the perfect spot to clear your mind, soothe your soul and Breathe Easy!

Please note that you are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. Thank you in advance for being considerate!

Would stay again!!
My family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children) stayed at this vrbo and it was so clean and loved the adorable beach vibe throughout the cottage. The indoor and outdoor space was perfect for us. The location was close to the beach and to the eating establishments. We took Ubers into Clearwater. They have everything you need to take to the beach which was also nice! Erika was great to communicate with also. We would stay here again!!! We had a great time!

Great house girl’s week
The house was exactly as advertised and Erika’s property made our 1st annual girlfriend week an amazing success. The location to the beach and local restaurants was wonderful since we could walk. The local nature preserve was a great place to walk and explore. Everything was in the house that we’d need for a trip to the beach. The wagon, chairs & beach towels. The backyard was inviting for an evening cookout, cocktails & conversation. We had the pleasure to meet Erika and she was a delight. We will be reserving the house for our second annual girls trip! Thanks for the wonderful memories made and the laughter shared. The Hudson Chicks

Perfect family retreat
Erika is an outstanding host. She provided clear instructions that made everything easy. We were traveling with our two dogs and three 16 year old girls. We loved having separate wings and the backyard was marvelous for dining and relaxing. The girls walked to the beach several times per day. We would book this property again without hesitation.

Spring break and Grandma's birthday
We had a wonderful stay with Kids and Grandkids. The property lends itself well to families. We had 6 adults and 3 children. Plenty if room for all. Beach is only a short walk, especially great for the little owns. Plenty of convenient café, restaurants, ice cream parlor within a vlock or 2. Very nice park for the kids 2 blocks away. Plenty of room for the dog too. Making memories.
