Perfect in every way. Best location in Indian Rocks Beach. The cottage is uniquely charming.

Chic-A-Si cottage is a gem. The comfort and style of the gulf viewing veranda cannot be over-exaggerated. There is simply no better place to relax, party, dine, people-watch, enjoy nature, star gaze, or enjoy sunsets .

This was our third time renting this adorable cottage. We love being right on the beach and short walking distance to so many of the best restaurants. The landscaping and outdoor areas are beautiful and so well taken care of. The inside is charming and clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. We can’t wait to go back!
