The Neighborhood:
Blue Escapes puts you right in the heart of Indian Rocks Beach (IRB)—a laid-back Gulf Coast beach town with beautiful sunsets, local restaurants, cafés, bars, and plenty of Florida charm.

The cottage is two blocks from the beach, with beach access about a 5-minute walk away. You're also close enough to walk to several local favorites:

☀ About a 5-minute walk to Cafe de Paris, Beach Waves Grill & Coco Crush
☀ About a 10-minute walk to The Turkish Flame
☀ Restaurants & bars within walking distance
☀ 15-minute drive to Clearwater Beach
☀ 20-minute drive to John's Pass
☀ 25-minute drive to Dunedin
☀ Approximately 30–40 minutes to Tampa International Airport (TPA)

IRB sits just south of Clearwater Beach and offers a more relaxed, less touristy atmosphere—one of the reasons we think this little beach town is so special.

Blue Escapes is located in a residential neighborhood, so we kindly ask guests to be considerate of our neighbors and help us preserve the peaceful atmosphere that locals and visitors love.

Getting Around:
One of the best parts of staying here is that you don't have to drive everywhere!

Several restaurants and bars are within walking distance, and we provide three bikes—two adult bikes and one child's bike—for guests to enjoy during their stay.

There's also a Suncoast Beach Trolley stop right on our corner, offering an inexpensive and fun way to explore the beach communities along the coast. If you plan to ride the trolley, we recommend downloading the Flamingo Fares and Transit app before your trip.

Paid public parking is also available throughout Indian Rocks Beach.

And if cruising around town by golf cart sounds more your speed, ask us for a golf cart rental referral! We're happy to recommend a wonderful local small business.

Interaction with Guests:
We want you to feel completely at home during your stay! You'll enjoy self-check-in and plenty of privacy, but we're always available if you have questions or need assistance. From time to time, you may see us stopping by briefly to take care of the trash and recycling—otherwise, we'll leave you to enjoy your vacation.
