(See "About the Area" - menu buttons on left) Located in one of the oldest neighborhoods on the barrier islands off Tampa Bay, our area, once the fishing stronghold of the islands, still boasts a fresh fish packing house and marina just a couple of blocks away. Sometimes called Mad Key or Mad Beach by locals, the area is full of boats, bars, bistros, characters, cats, and leisure activities. You may see tourists sporting T-shirts with the Mad Beach slogan, "A quaint little drinking village with a serious fishing problem."

Speaking of fishing, we have a charter fishing boat moored at this house. If you plan to come to the West Coast of Florida and some of your party choose to fish we may be able to combine a charter into your stay, assuming availablity of a slot. Many of our guests hang out at the beautiful white sand beach three blocks from the cottage while the anglers catch dinner. There is a fillet area at the BBQ area on the back deck. There are few things better than a freshly caught and cooked Redfish, Snook, or Sheepshead! (For charter info click button on left  - "FishDawgs".

From this location you are within twenty minutes of St. Pete Beach, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pass-a-grille. Dining, dancing, drinking, shopping, boating, jet skiing, fishing charters, dolphin watching, and more are within minutes. (See More Pictures and Video for some dining spots)

When you are not out and about taking in the beach and other activities we hope you’ll enjoy the house as if it were your own. The unit comes fully furnished with a fully appointed kitchen and a outdoor cooking area. The outdoor tropical deck is perfect for grilling your catch of the day or simply relaxing with your favorite beverage.
