Indian Rocks Beach Cottage Unit Steps to the Gulf!
Welcome to Sea Trail IRB. Unwind in inviting well-designed spaces. Meander the canopied path to the beach. Discover serene surroundings and local appeal in charming Indian Rocks Beach and at destinations throughout vibrant Tampa Bay.
West of Gulf Blvd, this cottage unit overlooks a canopied path to the beach. A partial gulf view shows tropical foliage with sand & sparkling aqua waters at trail's end. Multiple cushy spaces are offered throughout from built-in dining, bar, living room, sitting room, to the outdoor living room on the deck.
A special ambiance can be felt inside and out due to a modern, clean aesthetic that makes beloved Old Florida elements shine. Amid upgrades, preserved vintage features call back to the property's history as a former gulf-side bed & breakfast and TV show pilot filming location. Niches all about create the feel of a writers or artists retreat where one can be surrounded in every room by regional and classic titles and objets d'art on handsome shelves. Local artists' work graces the walls to honor place and history.
An abundance of natural light makes everything gleam. Top quality furnishings and fixtures have been curated to offer convenience and elegance.

The location. Situated in a northern beach location, walks along the water are distinctly stunning due to the curvature and narrowing of the shoreline on the approach to Belleair Shore. Lovers of nature can see pods of dolphins swim by and encounter fascinating species such as newborn sea turtles during hatching season, manatee mating herds during the warmest months, and baby octopi - particularly after a storm. For those wishing to check out the eastern side of the island, the Nature Preserve's scenic boardwalk loops through mangroves out to the intracoastal waterway and offers lovely views, a great diversity of wildlife and inner calm from being immersed in the peaceful sounds of nature.
There is no shortage of restaurants to explore in Indian Rocks Beach - several closer than 0.2 mile; the furthest is 1.7 miles to the south. Enjoy sought after espresso, matcha, bakery and breakfast/lunch options at Cafe de Paris, Grove Surf Cafe, Indian Rocks Cafe Deli & Market and Pipo & Betty's. Relish local seafood offerings at Keegan's, Beach Waves, Guppy's, PJ's Oyster Bar, Crabby Bill's and Groupers. Delight in international fare at Villa Gallace, Turkish Flame Mediterranean, TJ's Italian Cafe, VIP Mexican and Jake's Cantina. Become a regular at the iconic Pajano's Pizza & Subs which has served the IRB community for 54 years running, and at Kooky Coconut, a historic preservation award landmark, with their famous cuban sandwiches and over 26 flavors of ice cream. Interested in sampling the full range of IRB ice cream shops? IRB Creamery not only makes a sundae to write home about but also offers a wall full of nostalgic, retro candies. Pop Rocks and Zotz? Yes, please. Tropical Ice Cream brings in the crowds with 140+ flavors by Hershey - many of which are well known for their exotic ingredients. Top off your day meeting friends at Wyne IRB, Eddies (previously The Red Lion), Anecdote Brewing, Coco's Crush, Jaqx Tap House, Guilty Seas Sports Pub or the Loading Dock to watch the big game, listen to live music or to play trivia, darts or pool.
Enrichment, leisure and social activities are plentiful in IRB. Contribute to your lifelong learning goals at the library and via the several IRB "take a book, leave a book" free libraries. Learn about city history at the historical museum and through the Florida Stories Walk Indian Rocks Beach tour and the IRB historical marker tour. Take classes at the art center to see if you have what it takes to display your work in the gallery or shop.
Elevate your self-care with a Yoga on the Beach or Zen class or with a salon/spa offering by DeSanti. Shop Nekton and Island Surf to update your beach-ready style and rent a board, kayak or bike. In need of a beach day? Reserve a cabana from IRB Chairs. Feeling a pull to get out on the water? Intracoastal waterway kayak adventures are easily accessible by way of the 15th Avenue Boat Ramp and Keegan Clair Park's free public docks. Or head over to the Holiday Inn where you can rent jet skis, a boat or go on a guided tour or excursion. Need some help making your big catch fishing dreams come true? A visit to Indian Rocks Tackle or Old Florida Cigar & Bait Co. will certainly improve your chances. Make your way to historic Kolb Park (the park grounds are over a century old) for a match of pickleball, tennis, a pickup game of hoops or for a relaxing picnic under the live oaks. Speaking of relaxing, consider spending a day at IRB's Splash Harbour Water Park meandering down their lazy river.
Want to meet new people and give back to the community? IRB has plenty of ways to do that, too. Choose from many clubs and civic organizations: Senior Softball League (ages 55 / 45+), IRB Home, Action 2000, Rotary, Beach Community Food Pantry, Friends of the Library, IRB Community Garden and the Historical Society. Take part in Rock the Rocks Music Festival & Market second Saturdays, Mix & Mingles, Music in the Park, Winterfest, Greenfest, Oktoberfest, Holiday Tour of Homes, Boat Parade, Taste of IRB, art center galas, and seasonal events offered by the city such as the Christmas street parade and the tree lighting - an event so idyllic and filled with neighborly warmth it has often been described in earnest as reminiscent of scenes from Whoville and Mayberry.
Time to explore off island? Head to historic Pass-a-Grille, John's Pass or Clearwater Beach's Pier 60. Check off from your bucket list experiencing the natural wonders at the tip of Caladesi Island. Caladesi has the designation of 2nd most beautiful beach in the nation. Jump in your car to scout out the many trails throughout Pinellas such as those at McGough, Bonner, Walsingham and Eagle Lake parks, and at Heritage Village and Florida Botanical Gardens. Love the idea of strolling about in nearby villages and neighborhoods? Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Gulfport, St. Pete Beach's Corey Ave., St. Petersburg's Beach Drive, and Tampa's Hyde Park are must do's. Love to shop local? Become acquainted with local artisans and growers at several area weekly markets. Sports enthusiast? Tampa Bay will be heaven for you. Watch the Rowdies in St. Pete. Catch a Bucs, Lightning or Rays game in Tampa with a bite to eat at nearby Channel District, Riverwalk or International Mall. Tailgate and watch the SEC and Big 10 battle it out for a bowl game win on New Year's Eve at Raymond James Stadium. Don't forget to visit the beloved, atmospheric Tampa Theatre for a show, film or historic tour while on that side of the bay.
