Charming Beach Cottage-Your Old Florida Getaway Awaits!


We’re thrilled to announce that our beloved Beach Cottage weathered the recent hurricanes and has undergone a stunning remodel with a fresh, modern look while preserving its timeless Old Florida charm.

Discover Paradise at Our Beach Cottage
Nestled on a spacious double lot just 60 steps (150 feet) from the pristine waters of the Gulf , this quaint 1-bedroom beach cottage offers the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and convenience. Located in a serene residential neighborhood, the cottage is surrounded by lush botanical gardens, creating your own private beachside oasis. Originally an artist’s studio, we’ve lovingly restored this gem, blending modern upgrades with its original cypress and terrazzo details for a romantic, HGTV-worthy vibe that’s unlike any other rental on the Key.
Prime Location
• Steps from the Beach: Just 150 feet from a wide, private Gulf beach, perfect for shelling and finding fossilized shark teeth that wash ashore daily.
• Close to Everything: A half-mile walk to Stump Pass State Park for nature lovers, and three-quarters of a mile to vibrant restaurants, bars with live music, and shops.
• Stumpys Free Island Shuttle
• Nearby Lemon Bay (600 ft): Ideal for boating, fishing, or docking your boat with nearby ramps and rentals.
