"Palms" Gulf-View Historic Beachside Cottage 2/1 – Steps to Sand!

"Palms" – An Elevated Gulf-View Escape in Indian Rocks Beach

Light, breezy, and perched above the palms, "Palms" is a second-story, two-bedroom, one-bath apartment that captures the timeless appeal of Indian Rocks Beach from a beautifully elevated vantage point. Accessed by stairs, this upstairs retreat rewards guests with sweeping Gulf views, cooling cross-breezes, and a sense of calm that comes from being just above the rhythm of the shore.

Windows wrap around the entirety of the apartment, creating near-360-degree views and filling the space with natural light throughout the day. From sunrise to sunset, the Gulf, gardens, and surrounding canopy of palms become part of the experience, with open windows inviting in salt air, birdsong, and the gentle sound of the surf.

The apartment comfortably sleeps up to six guests, with two serene bedrooms each featuring a queen bed, and a sofa bed in the open living and dining area. The layout is ideal for families or friends traveling together—spacious enough to gather, yet relaxed and intimate in true beach-cottage style.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new appliances, including an induction range and convection oven, making it a pleasure to prepare everything from quick beach breakfasts to lingering sunset dinners. The open living space flows naturally outdoors, extending daily life onto one of the apartment's most special features: its expansive Gulf-view deck.

This oversized deck is made for lingering. Dine outdoors at the large table, stretch out on the casual sectional with a book or a cocktail, or gather at golden hour to watch the sun melt into the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets and long, unhurried evenings.

Guests of "Palms" enjoy shared access to the cottage’s lush subtropical grounds, including the pool and hot tub beside the poolside chickee hut, surrounded by palms, flowering trees, butterflies, and birds. Beach towels, beach chairs, and a cooler are provided, making days on the sugar-sand beach—just steps away—effortless and carefree.

With Indian Rocks Beach’s beloved restaurants, live music, and shops all within easy walking distance, and the beach trolley nearby for exploring Clearwater Beach and John’s Pass, Palms blends history, light, and location into an easygoing, elevated beach escape—where windows stay open, days slow down, and the Gulf is always in view.

As a guest of "Palms" Gulf-View Historic Beach Cottage 2/1 – Steps to Sand!, you'll find a hot tub, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Indian Rocks Beach cottage is smoke free.
