Enjoy exclusive beach access at Sunburst Inn, featured on HGTV. Cozy comfort for up to 4, and an unbeatable location on the Gulf. Perfect for a romantic escape or small family getaway. This one-of-a-kind single-family home is a local favorite—instantly recognizable by its charming pink exterior and inviting vibe. Perfect for couples or small groups, this 1-bedroom cottage sleeps up to 4 and includes a queen bed, cozy trundle bed, kitchen, & washer/dryer. Unwind on the private rooftop patio—ideal for sunset dinners or soaking in the sounds of live music drifting from nearby hotspots. Just steps away, enjoy beach access directly ACROSS the street at HGTV's Sunburst Inn. Our property manager, Madison, lives close by and is available if any needs arise. The little pink cottage is located directly ACROSS the street from the beach. Walk out the front door, cross Gulf Blvd, and your toes are in the sand within a one minute walk (maybe two if you like to take your time)! Several mom and pop shops, Indian Shores Coffee, and Smugglers Cove mini golf are all within walking distance. The home is all yours to enjoy- you will be the only guests staying there. The front door access is a digital key pad. This dog-friendly, cozy single family home cottage sits in the middle of a laid back beach neighborhood amongst a well-known coffee shop, putt-putt golf course, neighborhood bar with live music (next door at Mahuffer's), and other beautiful homes. Watch sunrise and/or sunset from the rooftop, BBQ on our grill, cook your favorite meal in the fully stocked kitchen, take our bikes for a ride, toss in a load of laundry in the washer and dryer, watch our selection of movies, and simply walk across the street to the private beach access at Sunburst Inn, as seen on HGTV. There is one bedroom with a queen size bed and a sleeping area in the living room with a trundle bed that sleeps up to two. This is a very family friendly neighborhood. You can take the local trolley, you can walk, or of course drive/Uber. You can also rent scooters and bikes locally. Enjoy the Gulf of Mexico on a paddle board or kayak (we have rental location suggestions for you). \*The well behaved dogs of respectful pet owners are welcome, there is a $195 fee (2 dogs max). When booking, you must add this line item. \*Please message us if you require early check-in and late check-out. Each are $35 pending availability and approval. \*Pack & Play available upon request. \*If guest cancels their booking with V R B O or Direct they will be not be refunded the 4% processing fee. Mahuffer's, the world famous dive bar, is just across the street, a few steps away. Yes, when you are on the rooftop you can hear the live music; when you are in the home you really cannot. All of our guests LOVE the local feel of Mahuffer's and you will too- and you will LOVE the proximity to the Pink Cottage after a long night of indulging. 2 minute walk to the beach to private beach access ay Sunburst Inn (our sister property). ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33920000/33911200/33911105/99347f42.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SOMEWHERE ON A BEACH!
