Relaxation

We enjoyed our stay immensely. You could not ask for a better location or view. The house was well stocked and clean and we would not hesitate to book another week.

Third time - same charm!

We have stayed in this adorable home for the last 3 years and have had the same amazing experience each time. It is the perfect cottage on the beach for a relaxing week (or more) and we feel lucky to have found a home away from home!

Best spot in Indian Rocks

My family has stayed at Chicasi 5 years in a row. Location is perfect. We can walk to a different restaurant or ice cream shop every day. The cottage and yard are beautiful and well-maintained. We love Chicasi!

Cottage by the Sea

Beautiful family-style cottage close to a myriad of activities with the beach as your playground. We were so lucky to have this as the perfect setting for our birthday celebration. The gazebo served as a gathering place for our oldest and dearest friends and our family joined us there to complete our special day in the sun.

Family Getaway

Chicasi is a beautiful property. The outdoor space was to die for and the cottage itself was a a great blend of modern conveniences and beach living. We also loved the outdoor shower. I would definitely stay there again!

Perfect Beach Cottage

This was our third time renting this adorable cottage. We love being right on the beach and short walking distance to so many of the best restaurants. The landscaping and outdoor areas are beautiful and so well taken care of. The inside is charming and clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. We can’t wait to go back!

This was my family's second time staying at Chicasi and it was everything we expected and more. Cannot say enough good things about the charming cottage, the amazing location, and the awesome host of the property. The place was clean, had all the cookware, linens and towels you need. Right on the beach! Such a lovely place!!!

Perfect cottage!

We have been to Florida multiple times and have stayed in many VRBOs. This is our favorite one! The layout, the beautiful backyard, the warm decor and the well stocked kitchen were all perfect. But, what definitely hooked us was the unique outdoor shower! The location of this cottage couldn’t have been any better. It’s convenient to everything. Our family of 5 absolutely enjoyed a relaxing vacation at Chic a si cottage. We plan to be back:)

Wonderful

Just as described, this was a great house for 3 of us who stayed for a week. Beachfront location is spectacular with lots of outdoor seating. House is well equipped. Bedrooms are small but comfy. Across the street is cvs and restaurants. Host is welcoming and available.

Beloved Florida Tradition

Chic a si cottage has become our favorite summer vacation tradition. A charming beach house with tons of character where every little detail has been carefully considered. The hosts are exceptionally accommodating and friendy. We will continue to return as long as they'll have us! This is not just another beach rental, but an cherished family home.

Lovely home and completely stocked

We had a lovely 8 day stay at Chic A Si cottage. We ran into a snag upon our arrival (hence the 3 stars in one category) but the owners were quick to rectify the issue which was out of their control. The cottage has everything you could possibly want or need for cooking and is a great location. There are an abundance of towels and linens and they are organized perfectly. The location couldn’t be better. I think the favorite part of the entire house for our family was the outside shower. I don’t think we used the indoor shower a single time. That shower is heavenly after a day at the beach. Overall it was a lovely stay and we looking forward to another stay next year.

EXQUISITE cottage right on the beach!

This charming cottage just steps to the beach is a gulf shore vacation spot perfected! Enter the lovely white cottage gate to an inviting entrance lined with palms and potted orchids hanging from the trees. My breath was just taken away stepping through the bright teal front door and taking in the old Florida vibe of this beautifully restored and appointed cottage, tastefully decorated with nautical decor and family treasures. The owner’s attention to detail truly make this coastal cottage a “home away from home” with cozy bedding, top quality (and plentiful) linens and towels, and a fully stocked, beautiful kitchen. Take the red solo cups off your shopping list — you won’t need them! Step out back to another whole level of FABULOUS onto a sitting deck with rocking chairs and comfy cushions for morning coffee, a view of the gulf and the owner’s custom yardarm flying Old Glory on top, along with a personal welcome of our state and military flags below. Wow! But that’s not all! Just steps out to the expansive sun deck, we loved relaxing and enjoying meals under a gorgeous fanned gazebo with seating for 8 and a spotless Weber propane gas grill (with spare tank) — the perfect setup for cooking and gathering with family. Pick your favorite color from a bright row of Adirondack chairs at the edge of the deck and catch the sunset with cocktails to end each perfect day. Chicasi cottage has everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you’ll need for an amazing stay. Hal was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with, and his responsiveness is top-notch! If you are hesitating at all about reserving this property — don’t! Book it now!!

Charming Beach Cottage

My family and I recently stayed at the cottage, it was a delightful experience. Chic a si cottage is so charming and cozy, you really feel like can just relax and disconnect. From the adorable bedrooms to the fully equiped modern kitchen we had every thing we could wish for. I will never forget the memories of my family watching the incredible sunsets. Absolutely perfect!

Perfect Florida Beach House

This is our second time staying here and if possible, we love it even more. It's location, set back from Gulf Blvd, makes it feel secluded. The yard and deck are wonderful for morning coffee, family dining and hanging out. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. Hal is very friendly and responsive. We hope to stay here again in the not too distant future.
