Great location..Godly clean, Ned and Myrtle are such nice people.... We had a great relaxing vacation. Only a few steps and there you are on the beach. We loved it so much we are going back next year. Jean and Jay Calhoun

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!!

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.

We have recently returned from our annual holiday at Sandy Shores IRB marking our 6th vacation in the Gulf Cottage, also know as "Grammies" Cottage. We have had many memorable vacations here with now very familiar, comfortable surroundings but always something new to enjoy! As always we enjoyed the cozy accommodations, the amazing beach, the ocean (which we still swim in in Oct/Nov and the always beautiful sunsets. As the pictures indicate there are many relaxing places to sit and relax, either in the sun or protected in the courtyard surrounded by the garden. Every year Ned and Myrtle have completed upgrades for the comfort of their guests. This year we especially enjoyed the new garden sitting area, a place to relax with some sun but protected from the wind. Ned and Myrtle are always very friendly, helpful and welcoming hosts. Sandy Shores is close to everything we need for a great vacation but so comfortable we always enjoy cooking, eating in and relaxing on the beach out front. We have also enjoyed many of the nearby restaurants, coffee shops that we can walk to as well as local shopping and sights. Sandy Shores was a great find, a place we have returned to for the past 6 years and hope to continue to visit for our Florida vacation.

Sandy Shores was the perfect place for some much needed rest after working hard all year. We really loved the closeness to the beach - you can just walk there barefeet! I always worry about the comforts of beds when I travel, but our mattress was so comfortable, we slept like babies! The cottage was very clean and well equipped with dishes, pots, pans and towels. The outside area had many places to sit in a sun or shade. The owners, Ned and Myrtle, were so warm and welcoming! Their kindness and hospitality really blessed us. While at Sandy Shores, we really enjoyed eating lunch at the Cafe De Paris. You must stop by and order the Buckwheat pancakes!

My best friend and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway to visit a relative in St. Petersburg and it was wonderful! The Garden cottage is beautiful, clean, cozy and comfortable....just a short walk to the beach and a gorgeous, natural seascape. The pictures definitely show how beautiful the gardens and beach front are and we were not disappointed in any part of our stay there! Ned was a wonderful host and made us feel welcome and special. We would recommend Sandy Shores to anyone looking for a gorgeous spot for a reasonable price, where you are made to feel like part of the family! :-) Very centrally located, within walking distance to lots of great restaurants and beach places.

WOW, what more can I say. The place is imaculate, gardens are beautiful and everyone is very friendly. Being right on the beach was a must for me, and this place is wonderful and quiet at the same time. We walked and played on the beach everyday, had most of our meals in, I enjoy cooking, and watched the sunsets. Our host and hostess, Ned and Myrtle, so kind and helpful, helped make the long weekend most enjoyable. If you are looking for a lovely place to stay, this is it!! When I''m back to visit my daughter in college again, we will be staying back at Sandy Shores!! Can't wait to bring my husband with me so he can enjoy it too:)
