Great Value for Money!

We stayed here 6/30/12 for 7 nights and had a great time. The condo is very clean and well equipped (except no towel rail or hooks in guest bathroom). The view from the balcony is great as you can see the beautiful beach to the left and the intracoastal waterway to the right. Cindy (the owner) was always very quick to respond to my emails and has been a pleasure to deal with. I am sure we will be back! :-)

Great Vacation!

We vacation in the Clearwater area every winter and this has been one of our favorite rentals. The location was great, it is about halfway between the Clearwater mainland and Treasure Island is the other direction. The unit itself was very nice. Its balcony is on the side of the building but gives a full gulf view, we had no issues with seeing the beautiful beach. The kitchen was well equipped, lots of pots, pans, dishes, cups etc. Each bathroom has a double vanity which was nice when getting ready. The guest bedroom closet had a lot of beach accessories from pool toys to beach chairs. We had to leave our boogey boards due to lack of suitcase space so enjoy future renters!! Overall for the price it was a great deal for a beachfront condo. The ladies at the front desk were very nice. We traveled in January and most of the other renters were retirement age so it was nice and quiet no rowdy crowds. We traveled with four adults and one child. The pool and hot tub were one of the best features of this building. They were both heated and were great because we a few cold days and nights while on our trip so it was nice to have a very hot, hot tub. The owner was nice to deal with. She responded quickly to all of my emails and provided all info needed. Would recommend this unit to family and friends no problem

cable issues and upgrades needed

Condo needs some furniture upgrades. Couch was broken in the middle and it would sink in when sitting on it. Was not very comfortable. Bar stools were too tall for the bar area and very wobbly and not safe. Master bathroom sink next to toilet the drain plug was broken and sink bowl was cracked. Cable box was broken in 2nd bedroom. Box would not power up. Notified owner and she kept asking me to take time out of vacation to stay for someone to look at. Asked if the front lobby or property management team could take care of it and she kept coming back with replies for me to stay at different times. I was on vacation and was not going to take time out of my vacation plans to sit in the condo waiting for someone to come and fix the cable box. Felt that should have been property management responsibility. Finally told her I would just deal with it. Cable kept going in and out in the living room and we had to reset several times. When first arrived sister had to call property management due to stains on the comforters in the 3rd bedroom. Remotes were not easily visible to find. Finally found remote for tv in the master bedroom after being there a few days. It was in a dresser drawer we did not use and just happened to open one day.

A Wonderful Vacation Spot with a Lovely View!

We've only been home for a little over a week and are already trying to figure out when we can go to back to this wonderful and relaxing condo! The condo was quite a bit larger than we expected. For six adults we had plenty of room were more than comfortable. The guys had training during the day, so we ladies had the place to ourselves most of the time. Everyone kept saying how wonderful the place is! We were all talking about bringing other friends and family down for future trips! The beach is very nice and we found lots of gorgeous shells. Cindy is exceptionally sweet and more than helpful! The ladies at the Florida Lifestyle were very informative and always friendly and smiling. I noticed other visitor comments that the dishwasher didn't work very well. Cindy's husband came down the last day we were there to install a brand new dishwasher. also, the clothes dryer works fairly well if you select the 'More Dry' settings. The mattresses were very new and comfy. The only thing that anyone said they wished was different is that the third bedroom with the two twin beds does not have a usable closet for guests, but there was plenty of space in the master closet. Oh, and the building elevator is SLOW! For dining, we loved the Lighthouse Donut Shop for deli sandwiches and donuts! We made multiple trips down to John's Pass and dined at the Boardwalk Cafe (awesome fish tacos!) and Delosa'a Pizzeria and followed our dinner with a stop at the Kohr Family Frozen Custard shop! We also enjoyed dining at Crabby Bill's. My husband and I agree that our favorite two places were Boardwalk Cafe (you can watch the dolphins play while you eat) and Terra Mar Brazilian Steakhouse. Terra Mar is a slight drive away (on 49th), but we felt it was well worth it! The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary is just a short walk down the beach and has hundreds of beautiful birds. It's free and informative if you love birds. On the beach just outside of the sanctuary is a generous portion of the beach roped of for nesting grounds for American Oystercatchers, different species of Terns and other seabirds and shorebirds. It's amazing what the sanctuary does for all of these beautiful creatures! Tampa Zoo was a lovely trip and had a new baby Rhino and baby elephant that were both born at the 2nd week of May 2013. Overall, this was a wonderful trip and we look forward to returning again in the near future! Thanks again Cindy for allowing us to stay in your beautiful second home!

Family vacation. The location of the property was perfect! The beach was well supervised and clean. Loved the cool and lighter brown/white sand. The condo’s pool was kept clean daily and nice. The condo itself was nice for this location, a little outdated, a few spots were missed in cleaning, spiderwebs and dust, not huge deal. The rooms were spacious, but one room did not have a ceiling fan or ceiling lights. The remotes for the lights in the other two rooms and living room, seemed to work off of the same circuit. You would turn off or on the light and it would work opposite down the hall or living room. Only a small table light, in the twin bed room. It was equipped for the beach. It was equipped for dishes, however we had to go buy bathroom shampoo and wash. We had to buy garbage bags, etc. Condo has 1 elevator for all floors, so slow. We also had trouble with condo lobby lock and codes. It was not only us. It was other visitors as well. They had to end up, taping off the main door to the lobby.Overall it was worth it and would probably stay again.

The property worked great for our family vacation. The condo had plenty of beach items for use which was an added bonus. We had some issues with a key and the owner solved the problem quickly for us. Overall a great stay.

Sand Dollar Getaway

Cindy was absolutely amazing! We checked in on Memorial day weekend and the rental company forgot our wrist bands for the property. By the time realized the company was closed for the long weekend - Cindy called me personally and let us use her personal stash - Thank you so much!! The condo was spacious and easily accommodated our family of 5. Extra beach towels and toys for the sand was a definite plus! Highly recommend this property as well as the owner 🌊

Family Spring Break

Pros: The condo unit was exactly as described. Very spacious, lots of room for the 7 of us to enjoy. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. Great Location. Beach was literally right past the pool. Not too crowded. Balcony had plenty of furniture and you could see both the ocean and the intercoastal from your perch on the 5th floor. You can rent beach lounger/cabanas. Lots of parking. Cons: The elevator. Not only is it super slow but it is small and cramped. Wish there were more dishes. Not enough bowls for everyone. Could really use a keyless door. Sounds like there used to be one and it broke. Hard to share keys for 7 for the condo unit, bathroom by the pool and staircase. Not enough chairs by the pool. If you don't get down early you will not get a chair. People would "reserve" 8 chairs for their group and only 2 were at the pool, no idea where the rest of their group was maybe the beach. There were multiple groups that did this.

The perfect getaway

The condo is superb, clean and comfortably furnished, with plenty of room. The amenities are great, we enjoyed the pier, pool and hot tub and long walks on the beach. The location can’t be beat, away from the hustle and bustle, but still close to attractions. We’ll definitely be back.

Great place

we had a wonderful family vacation. Condo itself was so nice and comfortable. . Sand Dollar itself could do some upgrades to extremely slow elevator and not needing a key or code for pool, beach gate(that barely works) and a key for the pool bathroom. Indian Shores is wonderful and we made some great memories

Family Vacay

We took a family vacation for the first time in 10 years. We have a blended family now, and had the best time even if we were in the middle of RED TIDE. We weren't able to get on the beach but one day, that didn't stop us from going to the pool and still enjoying our time together. We laughed, played and enjoyed ourselves the entire time. We definitely will be back. Great location to everything.

Enjoyed the property and views

Loved the location on the beach and pool. We had 7 guest including two 22 year Olds, two 19 year olds and an 18 year old. The space in the living room and bedrooms were perfect. Loved the morning coffee on the patio. To improve the stay it would have been nice to have enough dish soap to hand wash some dishes and an extra roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. Only what was on the roll is provided. The dryer was not working upon arrival. The property management took 24 hours to respond back. Fortunately my husband is talented knowing how to fix the dryer spending about 1 hour of our vacation. A small token credit was offered for the inconvenience. We were surprised at all the beach chairs and umbrellas available to use. That was wonderful! Also the property did have some beach towels available. Overall great location and enjoyed the stay.
