The GULF - The PATIO - The GARDEN Cottages at Sandy Shores

Please be our guest! Sandy Shores has been in the Hall family for over 60 years, and is currently owned and operated by Myrtle Hall. Myrtle is German-born and moved to Indian Rocks Beach in 2000 when she married her late husband, Ned. Ned’s grandmother bought the Indian Rocks Beach property in 1946. Ned's father George Hall built the first, two-story building in 1952. The one-story Gulf Cottage followed in 1972. Ned's family lived here in the winter, and spent the summer in Ithaca, NY, where his father was the Golf Coach at Cornell University for over 40 years. Ned followed in his footsteps as a PGA Teaching Professional for over 25 years. He was teaching at the Clearwater Golf Club located in Clearwater, Florida when Myrtle, in Florida on holiday from Germany, met him in 1998. Myrtle and Ned, of course, had their wedding right in front of beautiful Sandy Shores!

Like Ned, Myrtle fell in love with this beautiful property and its rich family history. Ned and Myrtle started to rent out their cottages in 2005 after a complete beautification and enjoyed every minute of sharing this lovely property with their guests. Myrtle carries on the Hall family tradition of hospitality at Sandy Shores and adds her special brand of German warmth. Her attention to detail and cleanliness makes Sandy Shores a unique and charming retreat.

We have three lovely one bedroom cottages for you available on our property:

The GULF Cottage, The PATIO and the GARDEN.

The Gulf Cottage is a single standing house - very private - and has a total Gulf View. It has a King Bed and a Pull out Queen Sleeper Sofa. The PATIO and the GARDEN Cottages are situated in our two story building on the ground floor with a lovely view into our palm and flower gardens. Both buildings have access to all the secluded patios in our garden and our front yard overlooking the gulf, and are steps to the beach Have a look at our pictures and find the right cottage for you.

Wireless internet access available for our guests.

Please CALL for availability. Thank you.
