About this cottage rental
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.

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 Shower.

Everything was fine, weather was bad but that’s no one’s fault

Our stay at the Patio Cottage was great. We were greeted by Myrtle, the owner, who gave us a warm welcome and detailed overview of the cottage and amenities. The cottage had everything we needed. It is not your fancy high rise condo, instead, it’s a one story, quaint, cozy, old time, very clean beach cottage. The gardens and grounds are well kept, it was so nice relaxing in any of the many sitting areas, enjoying the beautiful gardens and beach view. The location right on the beach is wonderful, and then across the street there are multiple dining options, and a beach store. We are already looking forward to our next stay there.

5 Star, 2 Thumbs up, A, and all the above. This cottage was stunning and perfect for a quick trip to the beach. Myrtle, the owner, is warm & welcoming. She told us the history of the beautiful home and garden and gave us a thorough tour of the grounds. The room is exactly as described and shown online. She even greeted us during our "checkout" and wished us good travels. We can't wait to go back.
