Sandy Shores is an Amazing beach side cottage that offers a Beautiful garden, walking distance restaurants, beach equipment, and a Lovely onsite owner. You will want to come back again and again!

The host was thorough showing us the property and everything she had to offer us. The cottage and garden was amazing. Cottage was very clean nice homie feel. Garden was absolutely beautiful. Privacy and close to the ocean. Me and my sister had a marvelous time. Thanks Myrtle for sharing your property with us. 😃🌴🌸

This was a delightful experience . We were in cottage one which does not have beach view, however, the gardens and sitting areas provide a sought after view of the water. Next time would love the cottage which enjoys a beach/ water view. There was ample shade around the property too which allowed respite from the heat of the day. We would definitely come again .

We had a quick trip to Sandy Shores. The rental was exceptionally clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The property was gorgeous; Myrtle does a great job maintaining the grounds. You are literally beachfront, and the beach was never crowded. Myrtle provided everything you’d need to enjoy your days down by the ocean, too. We enjoyed the little town and there were plenty of options for dining. Can’t wait to come back!

This property was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Just steps from the beach. Chairs and umbrellas for the beach. Cute apartment with all the necessities. Very relaxing!

Imagine reading your book, eating your meals, even napping with the soothing sound of waves. The beach is steps away through powdery white sand. Every evening features a beautiful sunset. Myrtle has created a beautiful garden with private pockets for relaxing. She has also thought of every need down to beach towels and an umbrella. Staying with her was like visiting a relative, comfortable and homey. This place checked everything on my list. I wanted small, quiet, shady with beach access without crossing a road. I was also drawn to the 1950’s v-groove paneling because it reminds me of my grandparents home. If you are interested in a more modern interior, you should book the gulf view cottage.

Exactly what we were looking for

This was the perfect place to unwind and relax. The gardens are so pretty and peaceful and the outdoor spaces are perfect for tanning, having coffee, or reading as well as a lovely dining area. Our host, Myrtle, is very detail oriented and has thought of so many details to make your stay easy and convenient. Comfy king size bed, a soothing “sleep machine”, basic toiletries, nice pans, and there is a very nice grill and washing machine and dryer for use as well . Myrtle has thought of everything such as beach chairs, noodles, umbrellas, and even boogie boards for the beach front. The rental unit was very clean and our host was extremely welcoming. Highly recommend and hope to return!

Wonderful experience!

We enjoyed our stay. This place was perfect for us. Minute to the beach and outstanding host showed me everything personally during our checking. Love to return with my family again.

We had a lovely visit and enjoyed the cottage and beach so much! The cottage is cute and homey with all the comforts and necessities of home in the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath. The grounds are fantastic for sitting in the shade and sipping coffee while watching the birds and ocean. The beach and ocean is clean, not very crowded, and loaded with sealife and birds to watch! The host is fantastic, very friendly, helpful and responsive to questions. I will definitely return to this lovely place.

We had a great time at Sandy Shores Garden cottage! We were celebrating a special birthday with a weeklong event that included beach, golf, Bucs football game, food, fun, sun, walking, craft beer, nature preserve, shopping, exploring and much needed R&R. We found the cottage so very quaint and furnished in old style Florida fashion...dark wood interior, turquoise colored bathroom tile, etc. The bathroom and shower is small but served our needs. The hot water gets hot quickly-we love that. Soft water results in flat hair but hey, we're on vacation so who cares? The kitchen has all the basics. We ate in a few times. Anecdote Brewing is right across the street and we love craft beer so a big plus there for us! Guilty Sea Sports Bar nearby had super margaritas for $5 and the bone in wings were great! I did used the big washer and the dryer. Only $4 - honor system. There is laundry soap but no dryer sheets or balls so may want to bring those. You can be as private as you want or socialize with the other guests. The beach is about a two minute walk from the door (depending how fast you stroll) There are chairs & beach items...Everything you need to have a good time. There's a grill too! I loved taking my coffee to the tall chairs to work on my puzzles. Myrtle is a wonderful gracious hostess! We loved our get-away and hope to return someday and maybe try the Gulf unit. We highly recommend this location and rental. Cheers!

We’d been desperate for a long weekend away, and Ms. Myrtle and her beautiful property did not disappoint! The cottage was clean and had everything that we needed for our 3-night stay. We brought along breakfast items and enjoyed eating outside and sipping coffee overlooking the beach every morning. Check-in/out were both seamless. Myrtle was a quick phone call away (though we didn’t need to call, except to notify her we were packed and leaving) and she was frequently available to chat or ask a question as she was out and about caring for the property at some point each day. Overall, a wonderful stay with a wonderful hostess!!

My wife and I were looking for a long weekend at the beach. We have always loved the Indian Rocks Beach area. Booked Mrs. Hall's Sandy Shores and we could not have picked a better spot. On the beach , out door sitting areas with perfect view for sunsets in the evening and a morning cup of coffee. You are right in the heart of Indian Rocks and can walk to all the great spots IRB has to offer. The place is maintained impeccably . Hope to make it back in the future.

Beautiful cottage in a breathtaking location. The host was wonderful. Highly recommend this cottage and sandy shores. We will be back!

This property is fantastic. Everything you need for a day or a week on the beach is available. The location is fantastic. The private beach can’t be beat. I think we have found our new go to beach destination. Myrtle is a wonderful host. You can see the pride she takes in the property. I wish we had spent more time getting to know her while there. We most certainly will on our next visit. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Our stay was wonderful and the best part about our stay was the location of the property and the extremely accommodating host. You have your own private walk to the beach with everything you would need to enjoy the beach available. You are also right across the surf shop that has awesome souvenirs, swimsuits, sunscreen, beach toys, etc. Next to the surf shop is a CVS that has a small grocery and beverage section along with any other things you may need. Also, you have the trolley stop just to the left of the property which is the best and cheapest way to get around to clearwater, madeira, and treasure island. On top of that, your are surrounded with lots of great places to eat, all with in a short walking distance. On top of all this, the host is a very sweet, kind, and accommodating person. She was quick to answer texts and phone calls, and sense our flight to go back home flew out really late, she let us keep our luggage on the property which gave us the opportunity to enjoy the day before heading back home. This should be on top of your list of places to stay!

Very Beach feel and decorations. Great access to Beach with private walkway. Lot of storage and nice kitchen appliances. Myrtle was very nice and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful, convenient beachfront location. Sunset views were fabulous. Very nice place to relax.

Great place to stay, beautiful gardens & landscaping located just walking distance from beach, stores and good restaurants. I definitely recommend it ! Thanks so much !

We had a wonderful stay! Myrtle was very accommodating and the space she has created is wonderful!! Walking distance to several restaurants and general goods. The beach is right there and the sunsets were the highlight of the trip!

Sandy shores is a lovely location at Indian rocks beach. Ms. Myrtle is an excellent host. Everything we needed was in the cottage. We had an amazing time on the beautiful beach.

Really enjoyed Myrtle's property and the close access to the beach. It's very private and quiet which is just what we were wanting in our stay.

The cottage is very cute with storage everywhere. We really appreciated the kitchen - it’s well stocked with everything you need to make a great meal. The place is tight and we used every inch but had what we needed. We found the bed pretty uncomfortable (definitely soft and peaked in the center) but the couch was comfy. It’s amazing to be right on the beach and the garden is absolutely stunning. Place is a gem and definitely a more homey experience than a resort or hotel.

Very friendly and kind, responsive and helpful is how I'd describe the host. The property and location were exactly as described.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Indian Rocks Beach. Sandy Shores is perfectly located-a short walk to the beach , restaurants and shopping. Myrtle is the perfect host as we lacked for mugging. Would definitely stay there again-hopefully soon!

It was an excellent 3 night stay!! Will definitely stay there again. Myrtle, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with

My fiancé and I loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. It was so clean and inviting, not to mention the owner of the property was very friendly and accommodating. Can wait to visit again.

This was our second trip to Sandy Shores and it did not disappoint. The location is perfect and you can't ask for a better host. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The beach is easily accessible and Myrtle provides everything you need to enjoy your time there. We look forward to many more trips here.

As a four time repeat guest at Sandy Shores, the high expectation for warmth and comfort that Myrtle has set for her place was once again met. The location, the beach, the cleanliness and especially the wonderful host have always made our stays comfortable and memorable.

Everything you need in a small home that reminds me of our cottage on the lake - and all the niceties that you often go without when you travel -nice thick beach towels umbrellas and long chairs to snooze the afternoon away ! Did I mention the .BEST sunset view around ;) Thank you Myrtle!

The Garden Cottage was extremely clean, in a great location and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. Myrtle is a great host and made herself available to us during the entire time. She provided beach chairs/umbrellas which we used everyday. We brought bicycles and she had a safe, outdoor space for us to lock them up. We were pleasantly surprised with the quiet nights since the garden cottage is located right off the road. The only negative would be the tiny shower, but that was manageable with all the great positives this property offers.
