General Information

The Laughing Lizard B & B is a tin-roofed, three-story, Key Westy island home built in 2005. Fifty-six windows offer a view of beachlife as it happens in what USA Today termed as “the best beach town of all”—Indian Rocks Beach.

The style here is casual and laid back with creatively colorful eclectic guestrooms—each with private bath. Enjoy breakfast in Lizard Hall; stroll 400’ to the beach for a morning walk; and ride the local beach trolley to wonderful restaurants, parks, etc. At day’s end, sip afternoon wine and experience the sunset…maybe even the famous "green flash."
