About this property

Private family waterfront beach cottage. Best location step out to bay and gulf

Private Beach Cottage 2 Bdrm 2 Full Baths And Large Living / Dinning Area.
This beautiful Private Beach cottage is located in Indian Shores Fl.

Perfect beach location with water bay views. Ideal for a family vacation or for a Romantic getaway for 2. Step out the back door and stroll the white sand beach. Fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms 2 full baths and a large living area. You can watch the sunset into the Gulf of Mexico every day from this beach cottage.

Enjoy old Florida. The Gulf of Mexico and private white sand beach is right out your door. Wade out to the shallow sand bar to explore for shells and sand dollars, or walk across the street to watch the yachts go by and fish in the bay. Old Timers call this part of the island "The Narrows" where the sand is just wide enough for a single row of homes. You are surrounded by beauty. Beach behind you, Bay in front of you ....It doesn't get much better than this !

We loved the location of the property and understand it’s an older property but it could use a little TLC with touch up paint etc and some new living room furniture!

About the host

Hosted by Carter Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
Here is just a quick overview of my career along with a few of Carter Vacation strengths in the rental industry.

I have been involved in the hospitality field most of my life. After graduating from Boston University back in 1986 I got my start working as a night auditor in a small hotel in Boston. I was instantly fascinated with this industry and wanted to know everything about it. I enjoyed finding new ways to improve the overall experience for the guests and in doing so, I was promoted often. I learned all aspects of each department and through the years I became the General Manager of some well-known hotels and upscale boutique inns.

During my corporate career as a General Manager of a Hyatt Hotel in Tampa Florida, I had an opportunity to manage a small beach vacation rental along the shores of the Gulf. Simply put…I was hooked. This became my new passion and career.
My wife and I had stayed in vacation rentals in the past with mixed feelings about our stays, I knew there was room for improvement in the Vacation Rental business and I was excited to get started.

My team and I have worked hard over the years and I feel our success at Carter Coastal Vacation Rentals is from having a variety of vacation property options that suits each guests needs and budget. We also have chosen to keep Carter Vacation Rental business relatively small in order to maintain a personable connection with each of our new arrivals. I, along with my team understand the importance of anticipating the guest's needs as well as treating each guest with complete respect during their vacation getaway.

We take great pride in serving you. We are here for you. So choose one of our properties and soon you will be enjoying a "little slice of paradise" on the beautiful barrier island.

Hope to "see ya" on the Beach
