in 1966 my grandparents bought the 1925 beach house and carriage house for $28,000 with a house payment of $120. Those were the days. They converted it into 6 seaside apartments. For 30 years they were the innkeepers living on the main floor in Unit #6.
. This came about in an unusual partnership. My father was a fighter pilot. My grandfather was a butcher. They went in together to buy the place. As an Air Force dependent I moved every 4 years mostly out west where my father trained other pilots . Late in his 30 year career he went to Viet Nam where he saved the lives of many marines. My mom and the three of us kids moved in with her parents. I was blessed to live with kind grandparents and to spend my impressional high school and college years living in such a beautiful spot on the island. When it came for them to sell and retire, I just couldn't let it get torn down and become 5 condos. Kathy and i bought it for $350,000 in 1998. We keep the tradition alive. Every summer we fly down from Denver with our two sons, and now four grandsons to enjoy this very special place. Here you can relax, find that inner child, and make good memories . Thank you for staying with us and helping to save the best of "Old Florida". Enjoy the beach.

Why they chose this property
To save the oldest beach house on this part of the barrier island.
What makes this property unique
Rent the whole place as your private beachfront estate. The 6 apartments can sleep 24. Family reunions, anniversaeries, special occasions. Where else can you surround yourself with water for a true island feeling. Emerald green Gulf of Mexico and award winning white sand beach are out your back door. Across the street is the intracoastal waterway.On any given day you can see multi-million dollar yachts parading by on their way between Clearwater Harbor and John's Pass where this head out to sea. Old timers called this skinny half mile of Boca Ciega Bay, "The Narrows". Of the thousands of homes on the barrier island only 35 enjoy this most coveted spot. My grandparents chose well.
