Quintessential Classic Florida Bungalow with amazing Gulf Views!
Cast Away – Fully Renovated Gulf-Front Cottage | Steps to Sand | Walk to Dining
Welcome to Cast Away, your freshly reimagined beachfront escape in the heart of Indian Shores. After a full renovation following Hurricane Helene, this charming coastal cottage has been completely transformed into a modern, stylish retreat—while still holding onto its laid-back Old Florida charm. Perfectly positioned directly on the sand, Cast Away offers the kind of unobstructed Gulf views that are becoming harder and harder to find. Step out onto the elevated deck and straight down to the beach—no streets to cross, no crowds, just the sound of the waves and endless sunsets. And when you're ready to explore, you're just a short walk to some of Indian Shores’ most loved spots like Salt Rock Grill, Caddy's Indian Shores, and Voilà Merci French Bakery & Café.
-The Space Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The home has been thoughtfully redesigned with a modern coastal aesthetic, featuring all-new furnishings, updated finishes, and a bright, open layout designed for comfort and relaxation. The living room is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach, with a large sectional sofa and a 75-inch TV, all opening seamlessly to the elevated Gulf-front deck—bringing the outdoors right into your living space. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to full dinners at home, with quality cookware and everything you need to dine in with ease.
-Outdoor Living This is where Cast Away truly shines. Direct access to the beach from your private deck Expansive backyard with multiple seating areas Loungers, chairs, and two outdoor dining tables Gas grill for sunset cookouts Outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach Beach chairs and toys provided Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying dinner under the stars, this outdoor space is designed to make the most of beachfront living.

This bungalow has everything you need for a perfect Gulf Coast vacation.The house is cozy but airy and just feels good the minute you walk in! The view is stunning and the property is clean and updated. The management company is friendly and quickly responds to questions.
This place worked wonderfully for our family! Very well represented. Location was far better than expected. Clean, newly remodeled, perfect space. Already talking about time to come again.
