Fourteen months after Hurricane Helene damaged our little Banana Bungalow, we finally have it back—fully restored, city-approved, and completely renewed. Everything is new: appliances, beds, furniture, linens, and more.
This charming 2-bedroom single-family bungalow in Indian Shores sits just steps from both the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. Nestled among condos and apartment buildings, it’s a peaceful ground-floor bungalow with easy beach access and plenty of Florida charm.
The second bedroom includes a Full-size bed plus a single bunk bed. (All beds are brand new.)
The bathroom features a brand-new Jacuzzi bathtub that works beautifully.
The Outdoor semi-private spa-like shower is available to help wash up and clean off the sand after enjoying the day at the beach.
Kitchen & Living Spaces The kitchen has a new countertop, a new sink, and all-new appliances—including the oven, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker. It’s fully equipped with new cookware and utensils, and there’s a cozy eat-in area perfect for breakfast.
We’ve added brand-new towels and linens, and the expanded screened-in porch provides an inviting space to work, study, relax, or enjoy family meals. A new washer and dryer are on-site for your convenience.
Parking There are two parking spots: one parked parallel to the house, the other perpendicular beside the shed.
Family-Friendly & Pet-Friendly Children are welcome—games and beach toys are provided. Two bicycles are available for use. One small dog (under 35 lbs) is allowed. No other pets are permitted.
Location Highlights Enjoy breathtaking moments—watch the sunrise over the Intracoastal and the sunset over the Gulf, both just steps from your home away from home. We love walks on the beach at any time of the day, swimming in the water, eating at special places around, riding bikes, and playing pickleball next door at the park, steps away from the Bungalow.

About the host
Hosted by Rich and Elisa
Hi! We are Rich and Elisa. We have four amazing kids who are all out of the house now. Our youngest graduated from UCF, bringing us to Florida's beautiful state. We travel a lot as we started a non-profit working in Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Costa Rica. We primarily work with at-risk families who live and work in the garbage dumps. We also have a home for abused and pregnant girls in Ecuador. We love the beach and have enjoyed many beaches around the world. We really love our beach here, and we hope you will, too!
Why they chose this property
We love that this place is close to the white sandy beaches. There are golf courses close by, restaurants, and other activities within walking distance. It is safe, right next to the police station. The sunrise and sunset are amazing. The banana trees and palm trees surrounding the house and the fun tin ceiling give the place a fun, "beachy" vibe while still being clean and modern. Our favorite is the luxury of walking out the door and taking a two-minute walk to the beach.
What makes this property unique
You can go fishing in the intercostal or ocean. There is a screened-in porch to eat, do online work, have coffee, or simply enjoy the outdoors. It is right next to a public park, including playgrounds for kids, tennis courts, and pickleball courts. We love it.
