Breathtaking views!

This place is worth it for the balcony views alone! Perfect location with 2 parking spots is a rare find. Spacious interior that is well stocked with all you need. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys in the storage closet were a nice bonus! The owners were incredibly helpful and communicative. Would highly recommend!The only thing to note is that the 3rd bedroom loft is not fully closed off, it has blinds over the opening for privacy but not a solid wall. Not a big deal but we did not realize in the pictures (description does say loft though).

A great week

This property was identical to the photos and description. Everything we needed was in the home including towels, plenty of sheets and bedding, dishes, coffee pot, and even laundry hampers! Sunning on the roof is a nice experience and the sunsets on the gulf are absolutely breathtaking. The property owner is very responsive and reached out to make sure things were going okay the day we arrived. There is just nothing like being right on the beach! I would definitely book again!

Amazing!

This is our 2nd year staying in this building. Last year we stayed in a two bedroom. The location is perfect. About 15 miles from the airport, Clearwater or St. Pete. We prefer the less busy beaches and Indian Shores is a hidden gem we've fallen in love with. We had two teens on spring break who stayed upstairs. They loved it and had their own rooftop patio to lay out on. The spiral stairs were not easy to get a 50lb suitcase up but they did it. Also, you will climb a few flights of stairs getting to the unit with those heavy suitcases but it is so worth it! The condo is beautifully updated and had everything we needed from dishwasher tabs, trash bags, beach towels, beach bag, cooler, awesome beach chairs, umbrellas and more. This was a nice bonus since we flew. They had board games and binoculars. A very informative book on places to eat and anything you need to know. Everyone had plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. It was very clean and I loved the decor. This truly felt like home away from home. The sunsets are breathtaking and you can watch right from 3 balconies or steps away on the beach. The owner even brought us more beach towels on our last day. I really can't express how much you'll love staying here. We can't wait to return and are already missing that beautiful view. Thanks so much for sharing your little slice of heaven.

Indiana Shores - Beautiful Beach / Great Location

The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The balcony overlooked the ocean and the beach being right out your backdoor was perfect. We were traveling with a small child so a couple of things to be cautious of are: lots of stairs to walk up to get to the unit so loading and unloading luggage was a challenge and single stairs and spiral stairs in the condo were a challenge with an 18 month old. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this condo to friends and family. Property management were accessible and responsive.

A conflicting review

I have never written a negative review, so let me start with the positives. The location is great, views are amazing, and kitchen and bathrooms are updated. Now, onto the negatives, the furnishings both inside and on the decks were not up to par. Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to sit on the living room furniture. The mattresses were really bad. Lastly, everyone should know that there are 32 steps to climb to enter the unit.

Wonderful stay with the best view

Such a relaxing trip and so needed for our family! We got away for the Thanksgiving holiday as we lost our home in Hurricane Helene, and this property was the perfect place to destress and enjoy family time. With all the balconies and the gorgeous views, we could keep an eye on the kids while they played down by the water. House was clean and comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

A beautiful well equipped condo!

We originally booked the condo mainly because of the hot tub on the roof top. We had a 1 year old with us so the idea was that we could chill in the spa once he was asleep. Sadly due to the storm and new rulings the hot tub was removed. I only realised this when I was showing a family member the Condo. We checked if we could cancel and book something else with a pool/tub but we couldn’t. The proprietors did give us a $50 dollar voucher. Checking in was confusing as the specific number of the condo was not specified on the information. The condo is in a beautiful location on Indian shores and is very well equipped with beach chairs, games etc. It is also a good location to visit other areas. We was lucky enough to spot a few dolphins from the balcony and the beach. We visited just recently after the 2 hurricanes so a lot of work was being completed on the beach which was great to see. I would recommend this condo to families/groups it’s spacious and has lovely decor. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We loved it here and wished we had more time to stay. The beach access was so convenient and the beach chairs, umbrellas and kick boards were a nice add. We saw a lot of small fish, a dolphin and a manatee during our beach day. The sunsets are gorgeous! The only thing missing was a pizza cutter, but no biggie! Hope to be back!
