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

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.
