Indian Shores Cottage is a one-of-a-kind beach home nestled in the secluded charm of Indian Pass, offering beach views, a private pool, and a rich sense of history.

While its exterior and rich hardwood floors honor the past, the interior has been completely re-imagined by the current owner, an interior designer who seamlessly blends timeless details with elevated coastal style. From the whimsical bunk room featuring two custom bunk sets, a TV, and a full bath, to the inviting screened deck with outdoor dining straight out of Southern Living, every space feels intentional. Upstairs, guests will find a spacious bedroom with a king bed, sofa, TV, and full hall bath, while the luxurious master suite boasts a king bed, private beach-view deck, TV, and spa-like bath with walk-in shower. Additional amenities include three driveway parking spaces, a grilling area under the house, a dedicated laundry room with an extra refrigerator, and a private pool—making Indian Shores Cottage a truly special retreat where no detail has been overlooked.
