The cockroaches were a complete turn off but this place has rats ! We even left early. It’s outdated and beds are not comfortable. They’re old and has you sink to the middle of the mattress. Never again. A disgrace to Indian rocks! Be aware ! Management only cares about their money not the guest experience

Cozy, charming, clean and affordable! Dog friendly, too. Across the street easy access to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico. On my first trip I enjoyed the sights in the area so much that I went back only after a brief time at home. Many places are even within walking distance and very safe. Local musicians, ice cream, restaurants and more! Crabby Bill’s , Guilty Sea, JD’s, and shopping are just a few. I highly recommend you check it out!

This is a great place to stay, The people you meet are great people, The cottages are great, you have everything you need for a great vacation. The only problem is checkout time, Your page says checkout is 10am, but on the day of checkout they want you out earlier so they can clean your cottage for the next guests, If you want people out earlier, change the checkout time to 8am, when you ask people to leave early it can cause a great inconvenience. Other than that, it was a awesome place to stay.

We have been coming here for years. We are always treated like family. Our cottage is quaint, and stocked with thoughtful items. The beach is literally a stone’s throw and is one of the most restful places we have ever been- a true blessing to stay here!

Sunshine Cozy Cottages is the absolute only place my family and I will stay at in the IRB/Clearwater/Tampa area, hands-down! I actually hesitated to write this review because I kind of don't want other people to know about our special vacation spot. So shhhhh, you didn't hear about them from me ;) But frankly, SCC is just too wonderful to not talk about! The cottages are absolutely charming: adorable, quiet, safe, lots of big windows and decorated in a darling, breezy, old-fashioned beachy style that is just too cute. This is not a place for young beach partiers—if you're looking for loud and wild and fun, there are plenty of appropriate places for that all up and down Clearwater Beach. SCC is for those who are looking for real, wholesome, family-friendly R&R or a charming, romantic getaway for two (or even that solo vacation you've always said you'd take after retirement!) Most cottages sleep just one or two comfortably, but several others have 2 bedrooms, so a family of four can easily stay without being too crowded—just be sure to ask before you book. They retain all the charm of their 1940s origins (a few mid-century celebs stayed here back in the day—as a WWII buff, that makes my geeky heart so happy!) but are perfectly comfortable for 2023. Cottages are equipped with little kitchenettes that are just big enough to make some homemade meals on nights you don't want to spend money dining out, yet you're no more than a 5- or 10-minute walk from nightlife, dining and just about anything else you'd want, and maybe a 15-minute drive from Publix and Walmart. You're about half an hour from Clearwater Beach boardwalks, and 45 minutes or an hour from Tampa, the zoo, the aquarium and Busch Gardens. (Traffic in these towns is BONKERS so LEAVE EARLY—but hey, that's Florida for you! Plus you're on vacation, so there's no need to rush!) The courtyard is equipped with grills for frying up burgers for a beachside BBQ, too—all available for your use free of charge. The best part: the 7th Ave beach access is maybe a 2-minute walk directly across the street, max—on a quiet evening, you can hear the waves from your open window!) And pricing is absolutely UNREAL: it's probably THE last truly affordable place to stay in IRB, and you get MORE than your bang for your buck. Staff maintains that perfect, almost impossible-to-find balance of there when you need them and out of sight when you don't. (Broken coffeemaker? They've got a brand-new one for you in under 20 minutes. One beach towel short? Just ask!) You really, truly feel like it's your own private beachside home away from home. My family has been coming here twice a year for the better part of a decade. My husband and I got engaged here, and this time, we brought our baby daughter with us—three generations of us now love SCC and cannot WAIT to come back!

We absolutely recommend staying at Sunshine Cozy Cottages! You have your own private cozy cottage, just like it reads in the name. It is right across the street from the beach. The manager Jeff went above and beyond to make me and my family feel welcome, he gave us great ideas on where to go for great dining and fun activities! The cottage was very clean, unique and private. Their is nothing like these cottages on the strip. Most of the guests that we met, had been return guests for years and now so will we. Five out of five stars!
