Amazing Beach Condo
Looking for a relaxing vacation in a well-stocked and CLEAN condo? Look no further than this gem at Gulfside Villas!
We’ve stayed at many different units at GV and this is by far the best. Let’s list the pros:
- Plenty of bath and beach towels
- The kitchen has every—and I mean EVERY—appliance/gadget/pan you could need, plus plenty of dish towels! It's a miracle in a rental!
- Beach shed had chairs, sand toys and a cart for pulling to the beach. It was clean and not full of everyone else’s broken junk
- Crazy comfortable beds. Seriously - we stayed two weeks and I did not have to go to the chiropractor the day I got home! Slept well every night.
- Good washer and dryer that did loads quickly and cleanly.
- Night lights!
- Great rental agent in Lisa!
Cons:
The birds outside sang too loudly? The sun was too bright? I ran out of sunscreen… nah, I got nothing.
Ok, one little thing because nothing is ever perfect. Could have used more than 1 key for the pool area. Need 2 minimum.
All in all - this is a great unit for a family or group of friends.
Perfect vacation home in a wonderful location. You’re close to Crabby Bills & PJs. You can walk to Pipo & Betty’s for breakfast. And there is an awesome morning yoga class on the beach around the 3rd St. Access south of the unit.
Give it a try!

Fun time
Nice property on the beach. Storage closet at the parking area made it great for storing beach chairs and canopy without having to track sand into the unit. Nature walk and restaurants nearby gives you plenty to do without having to venture too far out. Most are within walking distance. IRB was beautiful and quiet as always.

Indian Rocks Beach
The condo we stayed in was very clean and had everything we needed in it. Just steps to the beach… so awesome. It was really decorated nicely with a Beachy feel. I had a bum knee, so all the stairs made it a little difficult. Lisa was so nice to work with. The only thing that was negative was the pool not being heated most of the time we were there. Lisa reached out to the manager but it remained cold.

Great vacation rental
We enjoyed our stay! Everything was excellent! Lisa is amazing. There was an issue with the TV and Lisa quickly took care of it! The place was exceptionally clean and includes so many extras. They even have beach towels. The downstairs closet next to the bottom door includes all kinds of Beach accessories, Beach Umbrella, beach chairs, beach toys, noodles etc. even a cart to roll it all to the beach. Location is close to eating places and an easy quick walk to the beach. We hope to visit again soon.

Great week at the beach!
We had a wonderful stay over the Fourth of July week. The apartment was well equipped and close to the beach and pool. We were disappointed when we found out that there was no bbq. We were told in the morning before we arrived that grills were not allowed on the property. We were super disappointed since all of our planned meals were to be grilled. Many of our neighbors grilled out all week long on the property. That was the only disappointment.

Deserving of the 5 star reviews
My husband and I are our four-year-old stayed here the last two weeks of November 2021. Everything was amazing.
We booked this place because it was right on the beach and were glad that we did. It's so much easier not to deal with packing everything up, walking down the steet to find a crosswalk , etc. etc., when you have a kid with you. With this place, we could easily just step outside and walk down to the beach to get a feel for the weather, go for a quick walk, etc.
Everything you need for kids on the beach is in the storage room, including buckets, shovels, sand castle molds, various beach games, some innertubes, etc.
The house itself was super clean and had everything we needed. It seemed like every closet I looked in had another set of sheets, towels, or beach towels. Also, the cable package has every station known to mankind, including a station that plays Deal or No Deal 24/7 and also a Baby Shark channel. Amazing and horrifying.
We'd never been to this area before so we didn't really know the location when we booked, but quickly realized we'd really picked a place in the middle of everything. There are 4-5 restaurants within walking distance even with a kid, including a coffee shop, ice cream place, etc.
We would definitely stay here again.
Some random tips:
Salt Rock (restaurant), a 5 minute drive down the road, has an early bird menu that is a great deal. We ate there multiple times.
The park in Largo (10 minute drive or so) has an amazing playground for kids, one of the biggest I've seen, and does a huge Christmas display if you're there end of Nov-Dec.

Excellent Townhouse and Location
With the exception of the red tide that limited our enjoyment of the ocean during the week, we felt very comfortable in this townhouse. Due to the red tide, we spent every day at the pool, which is just behind our townhouse. The pool was on the smaller side, but never seemed to be very busy so that was a plus. The A/C was very cool, especially in the upstairs bedrooms, which made sleeping very comfortable. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms were an added bonus. The downstairs entry way was perfect to leave all the shoes to keep all the sand out of the upstairs living areas. The second floor includes the kitchen, a dining area, a bathroom, and a living room which were all very functional. The third floor includes 2 king size bedrooms, and a curtained off area with a queen bed. This worked well for our family of 6. There is also another full bath that is connected to the master with hallway access, and in the hallway, there is a full size washer/dryer. The closets in both bathrooms included more bath towels and beach towels than a large family would ever need. The showers had great water pressure and the beds were very comfortable for our week long stay. If you have trouble with stairs, this place is not for you, but as a young family, it was perfect for us. Since we ate out for dinner every night, burning the extra calories was a good thing for us. Lisa, the property manager, was very responsive to communication. Finally, the storage shed next to the front door is the perfect place to drop all the sandy toys, inner tubes, etc. Plus, they had everything there you would need. The The owners of the townhouse thought of everything to make your beach stay comfortable and convenient. Thanks for sharing your place with us!
