About this cottage rental

Experience authentic seaside living in our historic, Gulf-view cottage, named `Dunes`. Constructed in 1913 and ensconced behind the protective embrace of the dunes, Dunes showcases a delightful fusion of vintage charisma and contemporary amenities. Be captivated by stunning beach vistas from a private sunset deck, or unwind in a radiant living space, situated a stone`s throw from the beach.

With over a century of stories to tell, the Beach Cottage Inn, a treasured property on the Indian Rocks Beach, warmly opens its doors to guests once again after a hiatus of more than a decade. The cottage is meticulously preserved, upholding its timeless class, and adorned with modern renovations for your added comfort.

Find solitude in the cozy downstairs bedroom, tucked away from the bustle and equipped with a queen bed, bedside tables, a dresser, an armchair, and a desk, accompanied by its own well-appointed, eco-friendly bathroom. Step into the private patio from elegant glass sliding doors and immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance, enhanced by blossoming pergolas.

Venture upstairs via a charming spiral staircase and discover a vibrant living area, featuring a sleek and fully equipped European-style kitchen and an additional half bathroom. You`ll find a comfy love seat sofa bed here, perfect to accommodate an extra guest. This space also offers a doorway leading to a private deck that faces the spectacular Gulf of Mexico, a serene setup for sunset soirées.

For larger groups, consider booking our adjacent cottage apartments which offer additional 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom options.

Indulge in exclusive access to the two-story cottage with a private patio, and your very own gulf-view deck. We are conveniently located next door and always available to assist and address any queries through text, phone, email, or in person.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Good place to stay. Very close to the beautiful, quiet beach. House has 2 bathrooms which is nice, an outside sitting area, pool and hot tub. The view of the ocean is between 2 high rises but you can see it. No full lounge chairs for the beach or pool so bring your own. The owner was friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our time in this lovely flat. Check in was very easy. The proximity to the beach was the best! We could walk back to use the facilities in just a few minutes. Sami, the property manager, was very nice and always available quickly if needed. Beach chairs, umbrella and laundry facilities were a strong plus!!

Excellent! Fantastic view from the deck! It was a clean, private, well appointed place, with everything I needed for my stay with my dog! The host was so accommodating and I had such a rejuvenating week! Thank you, Jude & Sam too!

We had a great stay here for a few days while getting away from the cold weather in Ohio. The pictures don't even do this place justice. The cottage is so cozy and private, the beach is very close and the bed... the bed is amazing! Jude is so kind and made us feel very welcome. Thanks for everything!
