The cottage was quaint and a relaxing spot to end our day. It was very clean and the air conditioning was great!! The location for the beach can’t be beat and there are many options for bars/restaurants not too far away.
The home did not disappoint. The communication was timely and relevant as well. I appreciate the location and information, and it allowed for easy travel in the area. Access to the beach was perfect and I appreciated the local recommendations for food and coffee. I highly recommended staying at the Pink House.
We loved our stay in the house! It was the perfect size for 2 adults and 1 child. We loved the location as we could be at the beach in a few minutes, walk to coffee, or walk to mini golf. It was very convenient to be able to use the beach supplies from Sunburst! The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with! We hope to be back!
What a sweet, cozy cottage next door to a local bar and across the street from the beach. I walked 1/2 block to the coffee shop every morning (recommend the Maui Morning Muffin). Beach access through the Sunburst Inn is convenient and lovely. The pink cottage’s rooftop deck was perfect for dinner(Beach Pizza) & drinks in the evening. Highly recommend.
This home was perfect and suited our needs. If you’re looking for something a bit more mellow, then the location of Indian Rock Beach is perfect as the surrounding areas (Clearwater, etc) are full of high-rises.
This home had a lot of amenities and using the Sunburst Inn across the street was easy and well worth it as their beachfront access is phenomenal.
The air conditioning was cold and the washer and dryer was definitely needed. The bikes were a plus as well as the beach gear.
The dive bar next-door is a hoot, you must go check it out. And the coffee shop nearby was a gem.
Would stay here again!
Perfect location - we walked everywhere….10 steps to Mahuffers, half a block to Indian Shores Coffee, a couple blocks to Salt Rock Grill, twenty minutes north to Dog and Parrot (Adventure Golf was probably 10!). Also walked twenty minutes south to Reddington Shores and ate at Broke n Bored, the candy shop, and saw the bird sanctuary. Most importantly - even with all these amenities close by, having Sunset Inn right across the street for beach access, chairs, etc was perfect! Loved everything about the house - beautiful weather at night to enjoy up top on the rooftop. Host responded to messages during booking and during stay - incredible communication! Will stay again!
Because of hurricane devastation stayed at their other location
We booked the little pink house, only to discover it acquired damage from the storm. Andi quickly asked if I wanted a refund, or to offer other locations. We wanted to see the sun, so we took her up on the offer. We stayed at her Indian rock shores location which included a pool. The bed was comfy, pillows were so soft and nice.when the wind was to much to take on the beach (which was one block away) we would sit by the pool. There was a sitting area on the porch for shade during the mid-day heat. Everything was within walking distance so we didn’t need a car. The trolley stop was less then a block away, for site seeing. We had a great time and would work with Andi and Madison again. She was very quick to answer text messages and allowed us to check in early. Over all, a really nice much needed vacation. Thanks Andi and Madison!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is cute but very small. Which was fine for the 3 of us. Some of the things we enjoyed about the house was the location. Every morning we were able to walk to the local coffee shop. If bars are your scene there is a neat little bar right across the street. You do get a lot of traffic due to the bar but it did not bother us. It is open till 2 am so sometimes it can get a little loud. I just kept the AC turned down low. Once it kicked on it muffled out any noise. Access to the beach was convenient. We just walked across the street to The Sunburst Inn and they allow you to use their walkway. Had no problems at all.
Another issue was storage your clothes. We basically lined up our bags on the bench seating you see in the picture and lived out of our bags. 1 closet so hanging your clothes you are very limited. The closet in the bedroom is storage for HVAC. Also, the bedroom door would not close all the way because of the bed. The bed is your room. The only privacy you had to change was the bathroom.
Our daughter slept on the trundle and said it was fine. We did not need to pull it all the way out but if we did a lot of your space is gone. This house just needs a little updating, cleaning, and some fresh paint. The patio on top could be so cute with just a little bit of work. Also, while we were there we could not get the outdoor hose to work to rinse off. I text the house manager but got no response. The house fit our needs for the week!
Darling little cottage! This cool, well-appointed gem was perfect for my mom and I to spend 3 days on the Gulf shore. With the clean white sand beach only a block away we definitely appreciated the wagon, chairs, and umbrella provided. Bring your sunscreen to the rooftop and enjoy the breeze and festive music from the bar next door. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up some breakfast each day before hitting the coast. Thanks to our gracious hosts we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Host messaged before, during and after our stay and was very accommodating. House was the perfect size for 2 and the location was steps away from the most beautiful private beach. Would stay again!

weekend at the Pink House
Everything was perfect. great beach, great food options, clean house with everything we needed
Super quick and easy beach access - and this section of beach was not crowded! Cute little house - very small but comfortable. Best for an adult couple.
We had a wonderful time at this property. Really enjoyed hanging out at Mahuffers next door. Also, the beach access and privacy was wonderful. Great time was had by both of us at this great little gem. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Our stay was fabulous! Across the street from such an iconic place! The vibe of this entire area was so chill and relaxing yet fun as well. The host was incredibly accommodating and made things a breeze.
Had a lovely time with no real issues, the location was beautiful and super close to a coffee shop and bar. The host Andi was super responsive and even came out to meet us after a small issue. You cannot beat the location and the beach was not crowded at all.

Pretty in pink
This is the second time we have booked the Pink Cottage! We love bringing our little dog and taking advantage of the little fenced in part. The inside space is small but enough for my husband and me. The easy access to the beach is a plus with our own parking spot right at home. The people who we work with are so friendly and helpful. We will continue to book this place.
