Please be our guest! Join Indian Rocks Beach native Ned Hall, and his German-born wife Myrtle, for a tranquil respite from every day life.

Surf, sand and sun, coupled with quiet solitude, magnificent sunsets, and the shade of the Australian Pines make this the perfect getaway spot. You will enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - perfect for a morning stroll or an afternoon shelling expedition, as well as beautiful-renovated accommodations. Sandy Shores is a slice of Old Florida at it's very finest.

If a glorious sunset and a Pina Colada before heading to dinner is your idea of a good day, Sandy Shores is your home. Call Myrtle and Ned today with any questions, availability or just to chat!

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 are newly painted in June 2011. Have a look at our pictures and find the right cottage for you.

Wireless internet access available for our guests.

Please c a l l for availability!

About Ned or Myrtle

Sandy Shores is in my Family for over 60 years. My Grandmother bought it in 1946 and my Father built the first two story building in 1952 and the Gulf Cottage followed in 1972. We lived here in the winter season and spent the summer in Ithaka, NY, where my Father was the Golf Coach for over 40 years. I followed into his footsteps: I'm now myself a PGA Teaching Professional for over 25 years and you can find me at the Clearwater Golf Club in Clearwater. That's also the place where I met my German wife Myrtle in 1998 and we are married since 2000. Of course we had our wedding right in front of Sandy Shores!

Ned or Myrtle purchased this cottage in 1946
Why Ned or Myrtle chose Indian Rocks Beach

We started to rent out our cottages in 2005 after a total beautification and enjoying ever since every minute of sharing this lovely property with all our guests.

What makes this cottage unique

If you need help with your Golf Game - Ned is a PGA Professional

Teaching Pro for over 25 years.

Rest in the shade under our beautiful Australien Pine Trees and watch the Gulf of Mexico and the phantastic sunsets.

This was our third time to stay at Sandy Shores. I found it the first year through this webbsite. I read the reviews that stressed cleanliness. The reviews turned out to be true. The owners take pride in the upkeep and cleanliness of the property. The owners are very helpful answering questions. There's plenty of beach space. You can cook in the units or go out to eat. There are plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance. I recommend Crabby Bill's. We are going back for a fourth spring break.

We stayed at Sandy Shores for the first time, and it was most enjoyable. It was a garden paradise with the beach and gulf of Mexico just down a short path. Three weeks was too short a stay for us!! The unit we occupied was very comfortable and very clean! The Indian Rocks Beach area,( where Sandy Shores is located), is a flourishing community with excellent dining establishments, clothing stores and tourist shops. Our hosts Ned & Myrtle made our stay as relaxing as a vacation should be. We'll be back in the future!!

All we hoped for and more

We came to Florida to spend time with our 89 year old parents and we were really pleased to have this beautiful, thoughtful, restful safe haven to enjoy soft pink sunrises, phenomenal sunsets, amazing moon sets, lovely ocean breezes and moments of rejuvenation. It is on a lovely, peaceful beach and we were thrilled. We collected many lovely shells on our early morning explorations. Ned and Myrtle's thoughtfulness and love for their home is everywhere. They have included everything we could possibly need somewhere ( including three lovely sets of dishes, one perfect for the Thanksgiving we spent there). Their home was meticulous both inside and the flowers, trees and amazing outsides spaces. Ned is a fountain of advice, being a native of the area. We loved the pink Key West Shrimp at Crabby Bills ( we ate there twice), the fabulous grouper sandwiches at Dave's Dockside, and the amazing Cuban food at the Columbia in Clearwater including the wonderful mojitos they make at the tables). We had never been to the Indian Rocks Beach area before and all his guidance was spot on. We have no idea how long our parents will be with us, but we hope to be returning to Sandy Shores for many years and will recommend it to all our family and friends.
