Indian Shores Cottage is a one-of-a-kind beach home nestled in the secluded charm of Indian Pass, offering beach views, a private pool, and a rich sense of history. This pet-friendly 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath single-family cottage sleeps up to 8 guests and was originally built in the 1940s before being thoughtfully relocated from Quincy, Florida—its story adding just one layer to its undeniable character. While its exterior and rich hardwood floors honor the past, the interior has been completely re-imagined by the current owner, an interior designer who seamlessly blends timeless details with elevated coastal style. From the whimsical bunk room featuring two custom bunk sets, a TV, and a full bath, to the inviting screened deck with outdoor dining straight out of Southern Living, every space feels intentional. Upstairs, guests will find a spacious bedroom with a king bed, sofa, TV, and full hall bath, while the luxurious master suite boasts a king bed, private beach-view deck, TV, and spa-like bath with walk-in shower. Additional amenities include three driveway parking spaces, a grilling area under the house, a dedicated laundry room with an extra refrigerator, and a private pool—making Indian Shores Cottage a truly special retreat where no detail has been overlooked.
