Wonderful experience and such a great location
This was a great beach cottage just steps from the shore and on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. The host is local and helped us in minutes with any concern we had (and granted, we really didn’t have any beyond locking ourselves out once :) ) We loved this experience and think this was a great stay and a fabulous host! Thanks so much for letting us share the sunshine and shore!

Perfect Location, Perfect Cleanliness, Perfect Stay
My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary trip and it met or exceeded all of our expectations. This sweet little beach cottage was very comfortable for two with a comfortable king bed and private bathroom in the primary suite, but could have stayed several more with the bunks, a futon, and another half bath. The cottage was very clean, and I am quite picky about cleanliness when we travel. The beach was just steps away and in the cottage was everything we could have wanted including a cooler, a wagon, beach chairs, beach towels, and even frozen cooler packs in the freezer ready to go! Management was easy to get ahold of, quick to respond, and exceedingly friendly. A great experience all around! We go to Indian Shores at least twice a year and would definitely stay here again.

Amazing family getaway
We couldn’t have enjoyed our time more. Although our first time attending Phillies Spring training did not go as planned due to the lockout. This cute bungalow just steps from the beach was exactly what we needed to rest and relax. Make sure you make time to view the sunset each night, which is amazing. We also took a walk to play mini golf (where you could feed alligators) and across the street DJ’s clam shack is a can’t miss place for a meal. This property meets the top three requirements for a great vacation spot; location, location, location. Not to mention the perfect shore decor. Friends who stopped by to visit fell in love at first site. I expect this to be a sought after property on Vrbo as those who stay there like we did will want to return again and again! Special thanks to Dino for attention to detail with our stay and extremely prompt responsiveness to any questions or needs we had.

Traditional Florida Beach House
We enjoyed our stay at this traditional Fl beach house. It is a cinder block that has been nicely decorated with quality furniture and comfortable beds. You can't see the water out the windows, but it's right there! No crossing the street or taking elevators, just walk out the door, turn left, and walk over a short boardwalk. Made it easy to catch every sunset and sunrise. We were concerned that there isn't any designated parking, but we always got a spot right in front of the house, even though it was a busy season. There is also plenty of free public parking across the street for any visitors. We had a relaxing time hanging out at the beach and seeing the local sites.

Hidden Jim, Steps away from the beach.
Adorable little house steps away from beach. Plenty of parking for friends and family. Very comfortable decor. Easily slept 6 . Restaurants and bars all in walking distance. Dino the property manager greeted us , extremely friendly. If we had questions she immediately responded. We even asked if we could stay an additional night. She approved updated in the app it was so easy. Loved it so much a few already rented it for week of Christmas. Price is extremely affordable for beach front property. I live in Tampa and this will be my go to beach get away.
