Very Nice

We have stayed in this cottage a few times and will return as often as they will have us. This unit is equipped with everything you'll need for a pleasant stay. Perfect for a small family and you're on the same side of the beach. Just a short walk to put your toes in the sand and swim in the beautiful water. The pool is extremely clean for those who need a break from the beach. We absolutely love this place.

Wonderful!

The location was perfect! This was a respite trip for me and we were literally steps from the water which was so helpful. The property had everything we needed to enjoy the beach and we loved the little community of 8 cottages- it is very well maintained. Decor was a little dated but for the price and location and amenities available- no complaints from me! Joe was quick to respond to any questions and the beds were super comfy- a real win at my age. Would easily stay again.

Perfect place for a family vacation

Literally steps to the beach. Great cottage in a great area of Indian Rocks Beach. We had no issues with the stay. The one thing that I wish it had was a washer and dryer but who really wants to do laundry on vacation. Hopefully we will be able to get the cottage again on our next visit to Indian Rocks Beach. It was a great vacation for our family of three.

This place is truly a gem!

The cottage itself is just adorable. The property is well maintained with a great heated pool. The beach is right there and you can hear the ocean from the pool and cottage. They thought of everything, and the host is also a gem. The location is also terrific. It is walking distance (0.3- 1 mile) to many restaurants and shops. My favorite VRBO to date!!

Great Place

My family of three stayed in this cottage and loved it. We had stayed at a different Blue Heron Cottage last year and wanted to come back. That cottage was booked, but it all worked out. We liked this one better. :) I love that we were steps away from the pool and the beach. We have family in Tampa and plan to stay here next time we visit.

Dream cottage

This is the ideal place to stay! The owner Joe is the best host, he checks in on you when you get there and if anything out of the ordinary happens, he’s on it. The cottage has everything you need, it’s clean and very home like. We have stayed in the Blue Heron complex 10 times thru 5 years and Joe’s cottage is by far the. Best! You will not find a more perfect place or host. Bottom line is it’s BEST!!! If you don’t stay here you’re a fool. Once you stay you’ll keep coming back…..we do and will continue to!

Cottage only has location

Love where it is and proximity to pool and beach. Cottage itself is in dire need of updating especially based on the top dollar we paid. No place to sit and eat inside. Bathroom too cramped and old. Microwave rattles. Outdoor equipment rusty and unsuitable. Then there was the red tide.

Great cottage and location

What a wonderful find! This cottage was perfect for our little group, which consisted of 3 adults, a toddler and a Boston Terrier. ~ While some might find things a bit cozy (it IS a cottage, after all), we were completely comfortable and were delighted with how nicely the place was appointed. ~ There were 2 things that stood out: the location is amazing, and Joe was easy to communicate with. ~ This cottage is one of 8, right off the main road AND within a short walking distance to the beach (The pool is between the cottages and the beach - what a perfect combination!) ~ And Joe was a great communicator - he answered my many questions via text and email, both before and during our stay. ~ We loved the "house book" which had info on recycling pick up, restaurant recommendations, and other odds and ends that are always fun and useful. ~ We look forward to coming back in the future!

Calm, quiet place

Joe's little cottage was great. The low-profile porch meant no problems using a wheelchair, and the crushed shell driveway was packed so the wheelchair didn't bog down. Equally valuable was that this cottage backs directly up to a public access path, which meant wheelchair access to the beach was extremely easy on the concrete and wooden trail. There are eight cottages owned by different landlords, but all the guests got along. I can't promise that for anyone during any other week, but it was great for us, chatting with a variety of other beachgoers ranging in age from 15 to 75. We had no car, so it was nice that there is a small grocery/convenience store about two blocks away. (Publix also delivers groceries!) The only improvement I could suggest is some way to hang up or mechanically dry wet towels. Site rules said "no clothes lines" and stressed keeping the area neat, but by midweek we were straining under the weight of all our towels being damp. I am not sure what can be done, but just thought I'd bring it up. Overall, Joe's cottage was grand, accessible, and just what we needed.
