Description
Enjoy beachfront living while owning a piece of history in this quaint beach cottage on Indian Rocks Beach. These cottages rarely come up for sale because owners, like these, know it’s a magical place to make priceless memories year after year. Blue Heron community is a one-of-a-kind beachfront complex. This condo community of nine historic cottages are concrete block and were well-built in 1945 and has the architectural charm of Old Florida and the times of yesterday people crave without the worries about the age because they were completely renovated in 1996. The Blue Heron Cottages is a nature lovers' paradise. Don’t miss your chance to own here as these cottages rarely become available for sale because of their location, the privacy of your own cottage and it's truly like having your own house on the beach. You can choose to keep it to use personally or rent it weekly. This cottage has excellent rental income potential and the community has a world-renowned reputation and is always popular on AirBnB and VRBO. This cottage comes beautifully turnkey furnished. No stairs to climb with cottage life and only a few steps to the tranquil sugar white beach or enjoy lounging by your gulf-front heated swimming pool just 10 steps from your front door. You will enjoy the newer Polywood wrap-around porch. Each villa comes with its own assigned parking space next to the side door for convenience. This community is across the street from the Indian Rocks Beach dog park and also can be a great place for extra parking too. This one-bedroom unit can easily be converted into a two-bedroom as others have done (ask to see example) however these owners loved the open, larger living area with vaulted ceilings, more windows, and views of the beach which others don’t have. It’s truly like having your own house on the beach, steps to the beach along a sea oats-lined path or lounge by the pool. Great location, just blocks to local entertainment, restaurants and shops. It’s move-in ready, you must see it to truly appreciate this unique cottage because it flows and feels much bigger than the square footage, especially with the vaulted ceilings and extra windows (not found in all Blue Heron Cottages). You’ll also notice that very few of the historic cottages in Indian Rocks Beach have pools as well. The HOA fees include: Insurance for the structure, Cable, Internet, Water, Sewer, Pool & Ground Maintenance, Property Management Fees, and Reserves. Have pets? They will love your beach cottage because your four-legged friends are welcome here including big dogs. There are no pet restrictions specified in the Declaration of Condominium documents. It doesn't get much better than this. If you are someone who appreciates things that are unique and special over what’s cookie cutter, you’ll fall in love with this little cottage by the beach. Love to grill - you’re at the right place because you can have your own grill outside your kitchen, unlike many other condo communities. The cottage next door (one further away from the beach just sold 8/1/2022 for $926,500)
