Manning Hammock, a Pet Friendly Original Historic Cottage, a Block to the Beach
Location
Car: Recommended
Swimming, shelling, boating, fishing, snorkeling, shopping, (antique
guides are available), relaxing in the hammock, or rocking on the
front porch with a good book. The Indian Rocks Area Historical
Society is a block away, housed in an old beach cottage. Tampa, just
25 miles away has International Plaza, Busch Gardens, and historic
Ybor City. The Seabird Sanctuary and Clearwater Marine Aquarium are
an easy drive. But better yet is the Beach Trolly (cost $1.25) which
runs up and down the beach, as far south as Pass-a-grille. Many
great places to eat, from casual for a grouper sandwich or stone
crabs, to the fancier. There are a number of places to eat
within walking distance, including the Lighthouse Donut shop for a
latte or espresso and fresh donuts, Crabby Bill's, Villa Gallace, Tapas Garden & Wine Bar & JDs.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: Hal and Marian Flowers, Tampa residents spend as much time as possible at Indian Rocks Beach. They originally purchased Chicasi Cottage in 1998 for their family beach house. They acquired Manning Hammock, just a block away, to preserve the historic cottage and the beautiful property, and to accommodate their ever growing family with a fenced in yard for children and pets. Although across the street from the beach, Hal loves Manning Hammock because of the 12 majestic live oaks on the property which provide a cool shady retreat, the tranquil setting, and the access to the City boat docks on the Intercoastal across the street. Marian enjoys tending the many orchids which hang in the trees, and everyone enjoys the variety of birds who come to enjoy the feeders and the flowing fountain waters.
Why the Owner Chose Independence Square, Indian Rocks Beach, FL, USA:
The most beautiful landscaped garden in Indian Rocks Beach with real attention to tropical gardens and to the design of the cottage's interiors.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Privacy in a beautiful setting. At the beach, but not on the beach.
