About this property
`Dunes` Gulf-View Historic Beachside Cottage 1/1
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.
Our cottage is outfitted with brand-new linens, towels, cooking essentials, and an assortment of bathing products. Additional amenities include state-of-the-art air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, cable television and complimentary access to the on-site laundry facility.
