Feels like home 😊

The property is very well cared for and truly does feel like home. The kitchen has everything you need and the air fryer was a great touch! Condo comes full of beach towels, beach towels and everything you need to have fun! The beach wagon was very handy. Access to the beach and trolley was very close. The pool and grounds are well cared for and we enjoyed watching dolphins and other wildlife in the intercostal. Wonderful property and highly recommended 😊

Quiet and relaxing

We had an excellent time in Indian Shores. The condo was the perfect balance between the quiet pool with river views and an very short walk to the public beach access. We were looking for quiet relaxation and thats exactly what we found. The condo was very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook, play games and relax. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Condo at the Beach

The apartement was amazing. Everything was there, especially in the kitchen. We cooked a lot and found everything needed. All was very clean. The rooms are big and quiet. The location is perfect. 3min to the beach. The pool was great. A lot of beach equipment is in the garage. Very convenient. We would come back anytime!
