great place cottage on the beach.

We where able to check in early which was great.The house was very clean and had every thing we needed. Sue was a wonderful Host .When we needed propane for the grill it was Delivered the next morning. She had all the beach stuff . We did bring some of are own things but didn't need too. FYI for next time, Very cute cottage reminded me of how it use to look back in the 90's nice big trees. pretty grounds around the house. Indian Rock beach is a nice area and not so busy as Clearwater beach, plenty of things to do. Just one thing do need a large fry pan to make pancakes, We will hope to come back next yr, Thank you Jon and Sue for Such a lovely place to feel like home.... And the beds where very comfy to sleep on,

Amazing hidden gem

Rent it NOW! This cottage is a hidden gem. We basically had the beach to ourselves. The water was a little cold at this time of the year but it was totally worth it. The property was very clean. There was everything we could ever need. The knives were a bit dull if you are planning on cooking, but besides that, great location, great cottage, and everything nearby. I will definitely go back next year. Hosts were very prompt as well. Loved this area of Florida. More laid back and more family oriented. You can’t go wrong with this cottage.

Beach cottage

What a perfect little beach cottage! Having to only walk a few steps to the beach was amazing. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed from kitchenware to extra towels. There were beach chairs and umbrellas and toys to play in the sand. The outdoor shower was used a lot to wash our sandy toes before going back in the house. Close to a few restaurants and of course ice cream! We had a great week and would love to come back again.

Beautiful Beach Location

The cottage was so conveniently located by the beach. A few steps and you are on a quiet beach. The owners supplied everything you need for the perfect day at the beach: chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler, etc. The cottage itself also has everything you could need. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cooking and dining necessities. Master bed was comfortable enough for us and overall everything was clean. A wonderful week away.

Indian Shores Old Fla. Cottage

A very clean cottage with everything needed for a nice stay. Chairs for the beach, very easy walk to the beach or the store or a restaurant. Wonderful sunsets! This cottage takes you back to a simpler time, when simple accommodations were all you needed to enjoy a good stay at the beach. Bring your favorite book and flip flops. No elevators, no stairs, no worries.

Perfect Beach Cottage

Sue was an amazing host. She accommodated a last-minute hiccup that we had with our reservation. She was readily available to assist us with a minor issue we had when checking in, as well. The cottage was just as pictured. It was beyond amazing to be in our 'own little bungalow' steps from the beach. This made it extremely easy to catch the sunrises along with the sunsets. The cottage was tastefully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities to make meals. The bed was comfortable and the linens were nice. The cottage is within walking distance of many eateries. I am a Buffalo Bills fan (born & raised) and was ecstatic to find a Bills Backer Bar within walking distance to watch the game. My husband and I would love to stay again in the future. Do not hesitate to book this wonderful cottage!

Perfect place for a relaxing beach vaca

This is the 1st time hubby & I took a vaca where all we did was RELAX. This is the perfect place- they give you everything you will need to chill on the beach (umbrella/chairs) and it’s only a few feet away! Great views, restaurants and shopping close by. We stopped at a grocery store & stocked up so we barely had to leave. Highly recommend
