Of all the paths
you take in life,
make sure a few
of them are sandy.

This is the cottage I stayed at while in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. It was built in 1926. Nothing fancy but 2 bedroom/2 bath, kitchen, washer/dryer, family room, dining table and covered porch, plus parking. Great location and the view is what it’s all about. Sadly, it has been sold for 2.7 million and will be torn down and replaced by condos. However, it was sold a few years ago and it hasn't been bulldozed yet.
I like the charm of old Florida and the quaint beach cottages. They are getting harder and harder to keep when the property is so valuable.
You can see again in this photo (opposite view towards cottage) that I lined the path with my found pen shells. It was a fun project. I wonder how long it will last?
The new building on the left side of photo has a pool, four levels, sleeps 18 people and rents for $15,000 a WEEK!
Such a shame to see the older beauties go - but as you said, hard to turn down that kind of money. You were sure fortunate to get it while you did. My kind of place!
