This restored sea captain's cottage is one of the oldest cottages in
Indian Rocks beach. Built by Captain John Manning in 1926, it is
nestled in a hammock of live oaks and palm trees just a block from
the beach, and the intercoastal waterway. A master bedroom with
queen bed, bunk room with two twins, and a living room with queen
sleeper sofa accomodate a couple, or an entire group or family of 6.
A garden room (shown below right) and separate living/dining room
provide space for games of Cranium (our favorite)and reading under
whirling ceiling fans. Relax on the front screened porch, or in the
large fenced back yard under the trees. A full bath,and a secluded
outdoor hot/cold shower allow for daytime and moonlight bathing, and
rinsing the sand off before going inside,where the original wood
paneled walls, and new seagrass flooring make for cozy surrounds.

cottage rental amenities

All you need are your clothes and flip flops. Okay, maybe your
bikini/trunks, too. We have tried to anticipate your every need,
and the cottage is equipped with towels/linens, comforters, and a
fully equipped kitchen with coffee maker, dishwasher, microwave, and
refrig with icemaker. Two color TVs with digital cable, DVD/VCR/CD,
high speed internet,
magazines and books. A screened porch, and large treed yard with
tropical plantings provide plenty of shade for your afternoon nap,
or cocktail. A full laundry room makes for convenient vacationing.
The cottage has central air conditioning & heat.

We allow nice dogs who are in the Frontline or Advantage Program, and
who
don't dig or bark. The large back yard is completely fenced in.

The beach access is just 1 block away. We also have availability
for a boat slip on the intercoastal for an additional fee. Please
inquire.

activities and attractions in Indian Rocks Beach Gulf Coast Central

Swimming, shelling, boating, fishing, snorkeling, shopping, (antique
guides are available), relaxing in the hammock, or rocking on the
front porch with a good book. The Indian Rocks Area Historical
Society is a block away, housed in an old beach cottage. Tampa, just
25 miles away has International Plaza, Busch Gardens, and historic
Ybor City. The Seabird Santuary and Clearwater Marine Aquarium are
an easy drive. But better yet is the Beach Trolly (cost $1.25) which
runs up and down the beach, as far south as Pass-a-grille. Many
great places to eat, from casual for a grouper sandwich or stone
crabs, to the more fancy. There are a number of places to eat
within walking distance, including the Lighthouse Coffee shop for a
latte or espresso, Crabby Bill's, My Place, and La Cachette a la
Plage.
