About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stay steps from the sand in this charming single-family home. 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 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, where you can use our beach loungers and beach umbrellas. 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, ride our bikes, or of course drive. You can also rent scooters locally. Enjoy the Gulf of Mexico on a paddle board (provided free to our guests at the private beach access at Sunburst Inn, seen on HGTV).

*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.

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).
