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 group, 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 the next-door hotspot, Mahuffer's. 2 minute walk to enjoy private beach access directly ACROSS the street!
Welcome to Sunburst Vacation Rentals! Whether you're planning a beach escape, small family vacation, or weekend getaway, we'd be delighted to host you. Our property manager and handyman live close by and are 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)! We provide a wagon, beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels to bring to the beach. Several mom and pop shops, including Indian Shores Coffee Co, and Smugglers Cove mini golf are all within walking distance for your convenience and enjoyment. The world famous dive bar, Mahuffer's, is directly right across the street making for an easy walk home after an evening of live music and cocktails!

Cozy single home/family cottage sits in the middle of a laid back beach neighborhood amongst Indian Shores Coffee Co, a 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, rent a bike nearby, toss in a load of laundry in the washer and dryer if desired, and simply walk across the street to the private beach access at Sunburst Inn, as seen on HGTV.
