About this property

Quintessential Classic Florida Bungalow with amazing Gulf Views!

  • Cast Away – Fully Renovated Gulf-Front Cottage | Steps to Sand | Walk to Dining

    Welcome to Cast Away, your freshly reimagined beachfront escape in the heart of Indian Shores. After a full renovation following Hurricane Helene, this charming coastal cottage has been completely transformed into a modern, stylish retreat—while still holding onto its laid-back Old Florida charm.
    Perfectly positioned directly on the sand, Cast Away offers the kind of unobstructed Gulf views that are becoming harder and harder to find. Step out onto the elevated deck and straight down to the beach—no streets to cross, no crowds, just the sound of the waves and endless sunsets.
    And when you're ready to explore, you're just a short walk to some of Indian Shores’ most loved spots like Salt Rock Grill, Caddy's Indian Shores, and Voilà Merci French Bakery & Café.

    -The Space
    Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The home has been thoughtfully redesigned with a modern coastal aesthetic, featuring all-new furnishings, updated finishes, and a bright, open layout designed for comfort and relaxation.
    The living room is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach, with a large sectional sofa and a 75-inch TV, all opening seamlessly to the elevated Gulf-front deck—bringing the outdoors right into your living space.
    The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to full dinners at home, with quality cookware and everything you need to dine in with ease.

    -Outdoor Living
    This is where Cast Away truly shines.
    Direct access to the beach from your private deck
    Expansive backyard with multiple seating areas
    Loungers, chairs, and two outdoor dining tables
    Gas grill for sunset cookouts
    Outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach
    Beach chairs and toys provided
    Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying dinner under the stars, this outdoor space is designed to make the most of beachfront living.

    -Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 5)
    Primary Suite: King bed (sleeps 2), Gulf views, private sliders to deck, 55” TV
    Guest Bedroom 1: King bed (sleeps 2), 55” TV
    Guest Bedroom 2: Twin bed (sleeps 1), 43” TV

    -Additional Features
    Fully updated bathroom with walk-in shower & hair dryer
    Full-size washer & dryer
    High-speed WiFi
    Central A/C
    Spectacular Gulf views from inside and out

    -Why Guests Love Cast Away
    Rare direct Gulf-front cottage with unobstructed views
    Completely renovated with high-end finishes
    Walkable to top dining, coffee, and local favorites

We had the best stay! We had three adults, each with our own room/bed. It was a wonderful location close to restaurants, coffee shops, and more. The house was spotless, easy check-in, and stocked with everything we needed. Literal steps to the beach and outdoor furniture to enjoy. Would 10/10 stay again.

Perfect location, Taylor was awesome. We had a little issue with the air conditioner but he had it fixed fast. This was a great place to relax, close to everything, neighbors were nice, we left some beach items in the shed for others. Property was clean and will definitely book on my next trip.

This house was perfect! You open the back door and you're on the beach. The inside was very clean and the inside is well furnished with new appliances and all the essentials that you need. Being steps from the ocean is the highlight of the property. We've been staying in the area for the last 15 years and this was our favorite place that we've stayed. We will definitely be back!
