Phenomenal Stay

Exactly as pictured! So cute, cozy, and calming. You can tell the hosts take pride in their rental and have thought of everything you'll need during your stay. The neighborhood was quiet while being fully accessible to the beach and restaurants. The golf cart was a great addition to our stay. Highly recommend The Pink Pelican!!

Great stay in a great location

The Pink Pelican was exactly as described. Great stay in a great location. We loved being able to walk or take the golf cart to the beach and to local restaurants. Adam and Jen were great hosts. Nice to not have to deal with a management company, but rather the actual owners. We hope to visit Indian Rocks beach again.

Lovely cottage

My husband and I spent a week at this cute little house. We were the first ones after the hurricane renovation. Everything was pristine. We loved the location and walked to lots of restaurants. The coffee bar was well stocked and there were s’mores fixings and some other treats. Our pup enjoyed the back yard. We will definitely be back!

Best place ever!

What a nice place! It was very clean. The beds were comfy and the pillows were comfortable as well. I like a soft pillow and my hubby likes a more firm one. The owner thought of everything and provided both! The fenced in backyard was perfect. We had a few windy days, so we spent time there and played cornhole. We had everything we needed! Golfcart was fun to have. The owner lives nearby, and checked on us. Would highly recommend this place!

Best place on IRB!

This is a great location, the communication with the owner was good. Everything you could possibly need, just bring the suitcases. The bonus---you get free use of the golf cart. The beach is right up the block, and plenty of golf cart parking. Highly recommend, and this is our new GOTO spot on IRB.

Perfect vacation rental in IRB!

Exceptionally clean, super cute, excellent location in Indian Rocks Beach! This little house had everything we needed and was perfect for our family's week long vacation in Florida. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach, restaurants, a park and the beach trolley stop. Adam and Jen are wonderful hosts...they thought of everything, including an amazing box of chocolates, cold water in the fridge, beach amenities and a fully stocked kitchen. The back yard is very nice and private, and the golf cart is a major bonus. We were very impressed and highly recommend the Pink Pelican!

Great Stay at IRB

What a great find. Excellent location, family friendly and close to everything. A short walk gets you to the beach, ice cream, lots of restaurants the local park or the trolley stop to go up and down the coast. Everyone loved the screened in patio to relax on the evenings after a long day at the beach. Will definitely come back to this gem when we are back.

Fantastic rental

Truly a home away from home. Just pack your clothes and you’re set. Everything we needed and more was available to make this rental perfect. From a coffee station with a fresh bag of coffee, to s’mores kit, to beach toys for kids and adults alike, to bath soap and towels, cozy outdoor space, beach chairs, golf cart…the list goes on. Location is also perfectly situated a block away from a park with lots to do to keep kids active outside of the beach.

Adorable cottage with a perfect location!!

We loved our stay at Ruby’s Cottage !!The cottage has a charming yard and is in a great location with an easy walk to the beach access! The beach wagon, chairs, cooler, umbrella and beach toys provided everything we needed to enjoy our days at the beach. The cottage was light, airy and had just the right beachy feel!! It was so easy to relax and spend time together! The lanai was a perfect place for late evening games. Regina’s responsiveness and communication was wonderful! Would definitely 10/10 recommend Ruby’s Cottage to everyone!!

The perfect beach cottage

The Pink Pelican was such a wonderful place to stay in Indian Rocks Beach. The cottage is so cozy and cute. It’s very clean and equipped with everything you need to stay with a family. The softest/freshest bath towels, and all soaps completely stocked in bathroom. The whole unit smelled so nice and clean. There isn’t one single complaint. We didn’t have the nicest of weather in Indian Rocks Beach, so we truly enjoyed the home and all it offers. The paddle boards were SO fun!! Backyard is beautiful and perfect to bring your dogs. The cottage is equipped with a beautiful new set of washer and dryers as well. They are not in the house, but right outside in a shed and truthfully I liked that. The house had more space. We loved our stay so much and will be back. Adam and Jen are the nicest and so attentive. So thankful we found this cute little gem.

Kentucky Travelers - January 2024

The house is adorable and comes with everything you need and more. Very clean and owners make sure you have everything you would need for your stay with extras touches like a basket of items to make smores out by firepit. They have beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, paddle boards, and a golf cart to use during your stay. There is a little park that is right down from the house where you can play tennis, pickleball, basketball, or a play area for children. Restaurants are within walking distance if you don't want to drive as well as an ice cream shop. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. Since we are from Kentucky and are big University of Ky fans, there was a basketball game that was coming on right about the time we were to arrive at the house. I had asked the owners if they knew if we could get the game and when we arrived the TV's were on and set for the game. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is planning a stay on Indian Rocks Beach.

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Ruby’s Cottage #1 was the perfect place to stay! Just a few blocks to the beach in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic and there was an ice cream shop on the way to the beach! There were lots of beach toys and was fully furnished. The inside was bigger than I thought it would be and it was very clean and cute! As soon as our 12 year old walked into her room she said “can we just live here?!” Everything was perfect and Regina worked with us when we had to cancel and reschedule due to Covid. The owners are very nice and thoughtful to leave us a bottle of wine! The beach was perfect and not overcrowded. We all loved our week at the beach and will definitely return to Ruby’s cottage again!

We LOVED Ruby's Cottage #1 - It Rocks!

Our family of four wanted to do something different for Winter Break this year and decided to go to Florida. We've done the Disney and Universal thing before and wanted something a little more low key. After a lot of research we settled on the Tampa area and started our search for our perfect getaway. And we found it at Ruby's. It was awesome. The pictures don't do it justice. Everything we could possibly need was provided. We especially appreciated the beach accessories: cart, chairs, bikes, kayak, and cooler. It was only a few minutes walk to the beach and access was so easy. We were also walking distance to lots of great places to eat and hang out. We only wish we had more time to spend there. We will definitely be returning to the area and when we do, we will make sure to stay at Ruby's Cottage #1 again.
