Ian was an absolute rockstar host with top-tier communication, flexibility on check-in/out times that we deeply appreciated, and a condo so pristine and well-stocked it felt like home... if home came with endless ocean views. This honestly goes down as one of our best family vacations to date, largely thanks to the perfect location, the incredible balcony, and having beach chair rentals literally steps from the door. Listing photos don't do it justice; the actual balcony furniture is way better than pictured! Between the daily dolphin sightings, a never-ending list of local activities, and an overall amazing experience, we’re already plotting our return.

This condo was absolutely wonderful. Clean and beautiful. It had everything you could’ve needed for a week, or longer stay available. The Owners are very easy to communicate with and made the booking and check-in process smooth. The sunsets from the balcony as just stunning. Being so close to the beach was so convenient.

Great Condo in Great Beachfront Location!

We had a wonderful week at this property! The condo is very well maintained, and the location of the property is so convenient to restaurants. Ian was incredibly responsive both before and during our stay! They were making significant improvements to the pool and grilling area outside Sandcastle 1, which will only enhance the experience. Highly recommend!

The condo was as pictured and described. The updated unit is very nice. The only drawback was that one of the two elevators was being replaced so it was often difficult to get the elevator. Being on the 10th floor, going up the stairs carrying beach chairs, groceries, luggage, etc. was not an option. This is no fault of the owners of the unit, however. I gave the check-in and communication 4 stars only because I didn't receive the emails until after I messaged and had them resent. Not sure what caused this issue. However, since I didn't receive the email until the day of check-in, I did not have the parking pass printed. The owners were MORE than helpful in remedying the situation and worked with us to email it to a local UPS store or Staples for us to print. Overall, I would highly recommend this property and owners for your visit to Indian Shores.

Exceptional! The condo is nicely furnished wtih a lot of added little touches. It was a nice bonus to have a nicely stocked kitchen complete with spices, coffee, tea, sugar, etc. Parking was easy and convenient right in front of the entrance. The hosts provided great general information on local restaurants and activities.
