About this cottage rental

Located in Indian Rocks Beach, this charming cottage for $188 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. SANDY SHORES has three beautiful cottages: THE PATIO, THE GULF (VRBO #78339) and THE GARDEN (VRBO #508994) Please be our guest! Sandy Shores has been in the Hall family for over 60 years, and is currently owned and operated by Myrtle Hall. Myrtle is German-born and moved to Indian Rocks Beach in 2000 when she married her late husband, Ned. Ned’s grandmother bought the Indian Rocks Beach property in 1946. Ned's father George Hall built the first, two-story building in 1952. The one-story Gulf Cottage (vrbo/78339) followed in 1972. Ned's family lived here in the winter, and spent the summer in Ithaca, NY, where his father was the Golf Coach at Cornell University for over 40 years. Ned followed in his footsteps as a PGA Teaching Professional for over 25 years. He was teaching at the Clearwater Golf Club located in Clearwater, Florida when Myrtle, in Florida on holiday from Germany, met him in 1998. Myrtle and Ned, of course, had their wedding right in front of beautiful Sandy Shores! Like Ned, Myrtle fell in love with this beautiful property and its rich family history. Ned and Myrtle started to rent out their cottages in 2005 after a complete beautification and enjoyed every minute of sharing this lovely property with their guests. Myrtle carries on the Hall family tradition of hospitality at Sandy Shores and adds her special brand of German warmth. Her attention to detail and cleanliness makes Sandy Shores a unique and charming retreat. Free Wireless/WIFI available. Visit our other COTTAGE at: VRBO #78339 - Gulf Cottage Sandy Shores is a very unique “slice of old Florida”, with lots of flowers, palms, lounging areas, privacy, all with a relaxed vibe. There are only four units on the property and three of them rent on a weekly basis – so most of the time you have the whole place to yourself. The Gulf Cottage is a single story, one bedroom House, very private, quiet and clean with a spectacular, unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. It has a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa. The kitchen has everything what a chef would wish for, a big fridge, dishwasher, microwave and stove included. The bathroom has a bath tub / Shower. Behind the Gulf Cottage and landscaped courtyard is a two story building – the top floor I reside in – with the PATIO and GARDEN Cottages below. The Patio Cottage has a King Bed and Queen Sleeper Sofa, the Garden Cottage has a Queen Bed and a Queen Sleeper Sofa. Both have a full kitchen with stove, fridge and microwave. The bathroom has a bath tub / Shower.

My wife and I have stayed at a few older style beach front cabanas on the Gulf Beaches. Sandy Shores is now our "Go To" choice. It is clean and well appointed. Lots of room for a one-bedroom unit. Literally just steps from the beach and across the street (Gulf Blvd.) from great eateries. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but not a deal breaker. Myrtle has done a wonderful job of maintaining the property and keeping things "modern". The television and WiFi work as you would expect. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property!

Our stay at Sandy Shores was wonderful. Myrtle was a fantastic host. Upon arrival she gave us a thorough tour of the cottage and property. The garden area is beautiful. Myrtle has a supply closet full of beach essentials - chairs, umbrellas, noodles for floating, etc. Our cottage was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels. We had access to an outdoor shower to rinse off and a clothesline to hang swimsuits and beach towels. Every detail was carefully thought out. The beach was just steps away via a private beach access only open to people staying at Sandy Shores. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. The sunsets were stunning. CVS is right across the street for supplies and basic food necessities as well as several restaurants and gift shops all within walking distance. We parked our car when we arrived and didn’t have to move it to drive anywhere. The trolley stop is right across the street if you’d like to venture away some. It even goes to Clearwater. Thank you Myrtle for hosting my family. We are already planning another stay at your beautiful property.
