The Purple Cottage across from John’s Pass

This is the 3rd year we’ve rented the cute purple cottage. It’s the perfect location, just a short walk to the beach and John’s Pass right across the street. It’s very clean and well taken care of. The owners are amazing! We will be booking again for next summer!

Cute Little Cottage

Cute little place, loved how you can walk to shops, restaurants and beach! Wished there was a better deck area for seating is the only con besides not being right on the beach to see it off the deck but the beach is still so close to walk to! It's cozy, comfortable and great location would definitely recommend and stay again! Also, the agent is very quick at responding to your messages/calls and so helpful! Loved our stay.

Great getaway!

We had such a fun time! The location is incredible, walking distance to everything johns pass. The owners were very fast to respond if we needed anything. Plenty of space inside for dinner/cooking! My only note I’d say is that the couch/futon can fit 2 small people, I’d recommend planning 1 person/adult size on the futon.

About the host

Hosted by Vicinity Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
Cherie grew up in South Tampa and always had a love for the beach. Traveling the 20 or so miles to the beach every weekend when she was attending Plant High School. Eventually she moved to Madeira Beach where she owns a real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers Madeira Beach. Finest Real Estate Worldwide! She also owns a vacation rental management company Vicinity Vacation Rentals.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property from the long-time owner because I just love the classic beach cottages. I promised her that I would keep the integrity of the cottage, and not tear it down for a new home to be built. The bonus is the wonderful location. The Cottage by the Pass is the epitome of living the beach life.

What makes this property unique

Futon in living area.
