The cottage is right on the beach, walk out bare foot and walk until your heart is content. Sit on the deck or in the living area with the doors open and breath in the gorgeous breeze from the direct ocean. The water is calm and perfect for swimming or lounging in the ocean. Get breakfast within walking distance at any number of cafes or restaurants. It’s a quaint little romantic and popular place with wonderful food, restaurants and shopping. Feels like a tropical oasis. The accommodation is comfortable, everything you need in comfort. Highly recommended.

Shack on the Sand was magical. The poetry around the condo was inspiring. We spent our days walking the beach looking for shells, visiting with locals and visitors, and watching sunsets.

Great place to spend some relaxing time! Soooooo close to the water and great views. Would go back!

My husband and I stayed at the “Shack on the Sand” while other relatives stayed 2 blocks away. Very easy to walk to a lot of places. Great coffee, danish and egg sandwiches directly across the street at Pipo & Betty’s Bakery! We ate breakfast on patio watching the dolphins swim by. Happy Hours at Crabby Bill’s directly across the street as well. Sunsets amazing! Place was perfect for a couple. Very comfortable, quiet and peaceful and the VIEWS! Can’t wait to come back!

Love everything about it ?? The view the sunset and the location & new sliding glass door

What more could a couple of people need? Absolutely nothing ... ocean breezes, comfy bed, plenty of cooking needs & safe restaurants nearby ... and the walk to the beach - just a few steps! The soft sand is wonderful and shoes are not required ...Our host, Ann, is a delight and is just down the road. Relaxation is the word of the week and who knows... next time could be relaxation for a month! We shall return!

This was a perfect place for my husband and me. Just the right size and the beach was just outside the door. I woke up early every morning and had my coffee on the porch looking at the beautiful beach and then walked down and spent all day sitting on the sand. We walked to a couple of great restaurants and drove to a few more. The TV had Netflix and we watched tv at night after dinner. Just a relaxing week in a lovely beach place. Thank you to Ann for making our stay so delightful.

We have been coming to Ann's condo for almost two decades. There is no place we would rather be for a relaxing stress free vacation. The condo is perfect! We say that if Ann does not have it in the condo then we probably do not need it! This is truly a gulf front condo. Location...Location...Location! this condo has the best location! the trolley stops in back of the condo, you are walking distance to a pharmacy, grocer, museum, post office, coffee shop, and some of the best restaurants around. ( our morning walks down the beach to the Lighthouse donut shop has become a sure and get the apple fritter) There is nothing better than walking out the sliders and sinking our toes in the warm sand. Beaches are beautiful, and sunsets are amazing. Ann even has torches and a table you can set up on the beach for a romantic dinner! This condo has become our "Heaven on Earth!". If you want to adventure beyond the area you can take the trolly up to Clearwater beach to the pier or down to Johns Pass. The trolley even goes down to St. Pete's beach! I could not imagine a year without visiting "the shack on the sand"! ( this shack is no shack!!)
