Shaded Historic Garden Retreat Steps to Beach

Escape to Grove, a peaceful one-bedroom garden apartment tucked beneath sea grapes and swaying palms at Indian Rocks Beach Cottage Inn, just steps from the Gulf.

Part of one of Indian Rocks Beach’s earliest cottage properties, Grove combines Old Florida character with the comforts of a thoughtfully updated coastal retreat. Its shaded setting, single-level layout and secluded patio make it ideal for a couple, solo traveler or party of up to three guests.

A tree-covered garden walkway leads to Grove’s private entrance. The bedroom includes a queen bed, bedside tables, reading lamps and a full closet. The adjoining bathroom features a walk-in shower.

The open living area includes an armchair and loveseat with a twin sleeper mattress for a third guest. The full kitchen is equipped with appliances, cookware, dishes, utensils, a coffee maker and everyday essentials, along with a dining table and chairs.

Guests have private use of the entire apartment and secluded garden patio. The tropical courtyard pool, hot tub, chickee hut, gardens and laundry facilities are shared with guests staying in the Inn’s other cottages. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and coolers are provided.

The 7th Avenue beach access is nearby, and guests can reach the Gulf without crossing Gulf Boulevard. Restaurants, cafés and live music are within walking distance. The Suncoast Beach Trolley provides access to Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, John’s Pass and other Gulf communities.

High-speed Wi-Fi, television and designated onsite parking are included. Approved pets are welcome with advance disclosure and payment of the $100 pet fee.

Please note:

• Maximum occupancy is three guests.
• The third guest sleeps on a twin sleeper loveseat.
• Grove is an apartment within the larger historic cottage property.
• The shared amenities are used by guests staying in the other cottages.
• Grove is steps from public beach access, but it is not directly beachfront.

For larger groups, consider booking one or more of our adjacent cottage accommodations, with additional one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom options.

Cool, quiet and surrounded by tropical greenery, Grove offers an easygoing Old Florida retreat close to the beach and neighborhood favorites.
