About this house rental

Situated in Indian Rocks Beach, this charming house for $269 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. SANDY SHORES has three beautiful cottages: THE GULF THE PATIO (#508989) and THE GARDEN (see #508994) and 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 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. Surf, white sand and sun, coupled with quiet solitude, magnificent sunsets, and the shade of the Australian Pines make this the perfect getaway spot. You will enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - perfect for a morning stroll or an afternoon shelling expedition, as well as beautiful-maintained accommodations. Sandy Shores is a slice of Old Florida at it's very finest. The beach of Indian Rocks beach offers not only to the lovers of a quite vacation, but also for the ones, who enjoy some adventures and activities in this area. There are many exceptional restaurants within walking distance from Sandy Shores and some have offer life music.

There just aren’t sufficient words in the English language to accurately describe our positive experience at Sandy Shores! We’ve been to Florida many times, but this is our first stay at a beach cottage. If you’re looking for a quiet, private, lovely place to disconnect from the world and enjoy all that the Florida gulf coast has to offer, then this is the place for you! Sandy Shores provides the best of both worlds, serenity and privacy, yet within walking distance to local eateries and entertainment. Myrtle is a most gracious host and always on site to make sure her guests are well cared for. We aren’t well seasoned travelers by any means, but we know a gem when we see one! Our stay at Sandy Shores was our first and it certainly won’t be our last!

We stumbled upon Sandy Shores while looking for vacation ideas. The host and property had glowing reviews so we took a gamble and booked We were told to email Myrtle a week before our stay and to call her when we were about 30 minutes away. She met us at our room and proceeded to give us a tour of the property. She then told us that if we needed anything at all then she was only a phone call away. Then we were on our own The property has EVERYTHING! We had packed all kinds of chairs and umbrellas and we never even had to unpack them. Our room was clean and comfortable! The property is filled with comfortable seating, beautiful plants and a variety of small lizards and birds! It was a little slice of paradise We’ll absolutely be back!

It was nice not having someone above or next to us like a hotel. Music across the street was tolerable and ended early enough. Short walk out the door to the beach VERY nice. Bathroom NOT meant for folks with balance issues. Overall it was an excellent vacation. Host was available if needed but not a busy body.

Such a great place to stay! Perfect location on the beach, and across the street from stores and restaurants. The unit was spacious and very comfortable for our family. Everything was thought out from plenty of dishes/pans, condiments, towels, blankets, beach toys, laundry on site, and beautiful outdoor gardens and seating, etc. Myrtle was friendly and helpful. We couldnt have asked for more out of our stay!
