Very nice place and the host is Fantastic. I needed an early check in and he was able to help. I have 2 kids and left behind an old I pad. He offered to send it home. Condo is large. Balcony and view is amazing. Kitchen is perfect. I caught a spotted trout from the intercostal. Two minor drawbacks. No elevator which is tough with two kids and the mattresses need an update. However it will be high on my list for next year.

Wonderful vacation!

I recently stayed at this beautiful beach condo, and it was nothing short of perfect. The unit was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated with coastal charm, and offered breathtaking views right from the balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the beds were incredibly comfortable — everything felt thoughtfully prepared to make the stay relaxing and enjoyable. The beach was just steps away, and the building amenities, including the pool, were top-notch.If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape by the Gulf, this condo is an ideal choice. I can't wait to return!thank youKim and David

Great Place to Stay in Indian Shores, FL

I stayed here with my son (18) and daughter (12) for 6 nights to start off our summer vacation. The condo is on the top floor so there is a great view of the waterway from the balcony. We saw dolphins two days during our stay. The condo was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. If you're staying here with your family and children for a week, I'd say bring an extra trash bag and dishwasher pod (only 1 of each was provided). The area of Indian Shores is beautiful and a short drive to larger crowds in Clearwater. We would definitely return.

Rest & relaxation

2 words sums up our stay at Gulf Retreat 1, restful and relaxing. The condo is homey, the view of the intracoastal waterway is beautiful, it’s a quiet place to recharge from the hustle & bustle of everyday life! Centrally located between Clearwater & Treasure Island, with lots to do if you choose or a quiet beach for sitting and watching the ocean.

The house is very spacious and has all the amenities that a family needs. It is a 5 min walk to the beach and has a great view of the water. You can even catch the sunset from the balcony. The communication with the host was great too.

Easter Break Trip

Walked in and was in awe with the views from the windows. Everything we needed for our stay. Lovely welcoming basket. Perfect accommodations for our family of 5. Everything was neat and working. Loved the secure garage. Just wished my daughter didn’t tear her ACL in a soccer match two nights before our trip. Luckily the beach access had an available handicapped parking spot.

Beautiful property in a perfect location. The views from the living room and master bedroom are breathtaking. We even spotted a few dolphins! Beach is within walking distance, as well as a number of dining options. Clearwater, St. Pete’s and Tampa are all within reasonable driving distance (30-45 mins). Overall, great experience, highly recommend.

Thanksgiving getaway!

This is the most beautiful condo we have ever rented. It was elegant inside with a spectacular view! The location was perfect and we enjoyed the local restaurants. We spent 5 lovely, quiet, peaceful nights here, and on two of the nights our 9 and 10 year old grandchildren stayed with us. They were equally impressed with this property! It is only 20 minutes from our son's house so we hope to return often! Many thanks to Darryl and Isabel for making us feel so welcome and so comfortable!

This condo was absolutely amazing. We woke up daily to manatees, dolphins, and beautiful birds in the bay. We watched boats go by daily. The short walk to the beach was great. All the beach toys, chairs, and coolers were great. Thank you so much for the sweet gift basket when we arrived. Our family enjoyed it so much.
