Fantastic beach property

This was our third time to the area and our favorite stay yet! They had everything we needed . The condo was absolutely amazing. Loved the beach and pool access so close so the kids could go back and forth easily. Our 10 year old could have spent all day at the pool. Even on the 4th of July we had plenty of room at the beach. Caddy’s across the street was delicious when we wanted to eat out. The location made grocery delivery very convenient. The owners were so great about communicating with us before and during our stay.

Indian Shores condo

The location, heated pool, hot tub, beach access as well as the balcony view were excellent. The bathrooms were on the small side and one of the elevators was down during our entire week stay, which I have found is typical with buildings in this area. We had one individual that was handicapped to the point that it would have been terrible had the lone elevator stopped functioning. This also made for longer waits for elevator access.

Thank you, Jill, communication was top-notch.Jill responses very quickly with any questions you might have.We traveled with daughter, son-in-law three teenage grandchildren. We drove down, but next year we plan on flying and renting this unit. The unit has beach towels, beach chairs, and supplies. Caddy’s is across a two lane road on the inter-coastal side, (safe crossing).Two queen beds, king bed, and twin beds made for comfortable sleeping for everyone.

Mom/daughter senior spring break

4 moms and 4 daughters on their high school senior spring break. The condo met out needs and was perfect. Great views from the balcony, loved watching dolphins. The area was nice. Would definitely would stay here again. My only little complaint is that the hot tub and pool was closed down at 9:30. Would be nice if it was at least open until 11:00. We had a wonderful time.

Much needed beach vacation

My sister and I had a wonderful time at this condo. The condo is beautiful and very accomodating. The beds were comfortable and everything was so clean. And the beautiful ocean view - what can I say - it was exceptional to look out to that view everyday! We loved the oversized balcony that had a really comfortable table with swival chairs which we used everyday. The kitchen was very nice and had plenty of items to use in cooking and eating. There was a nice big couch which was very nice and comfortable. We were very happy to have nice bath towels. In addition to our bath towels - there was a great selection of beach towels. It was so nice not to have to pack beach towels to bring on a plane. I also really liked the chute near the elevators where you dropped off the trash bags. That was so convenient. We both loved our stay at the Indian Shores 2 beach condo. My sister and I were impressed on how clean they kept the pool area. It was very nice. And it was so convenient to be able to step right out to the beach. There were plenty of beach chairs to take to the beach - low sitting beach chairs and higher sitting ones, as well. What more could you ask for! Communication with the owner was very easy and responsive & we appreciate them making sure that the condo was beautiful, clean, and comfortable! Caddy's - right across the street - was so good - great food! I would definately recommend this condo to anyone who wants to spend a week at this great beach. Thanks for everything!

Wonderful stay at Indian Shores!

We had a lovely stay at this property. Very clean, and the owners were very responsive. The beach was beautiful, waters calm, and it was very convenient to trolley stops. They had lots of beach towels, chairs, and toys available. The only thing missing was a beach umbrella. You can rent chairs/umbrella right in front of the condo, but it would have been nice to have our own since we often didn’t stay on the beach the entire day. Other than that, would stay there again!

This is a perfect rental for a family vacation!! The condo was clean and stocked with starter items. The kitchen had all the equipment and utensils needed if you like to cook in. Bath towels, beach towels, and linens were provided. Easy access to the pool, hot tub, and beach. The sunsets from the balcony were beautiful and we did get to see the dolphins and manatees just as the description said!! Caddy’s is an easy walk across the street and had great food! I also like that you can do the chair and umbrella rentals on the beach right in front of the condo. Check in was super easy and we had no issues during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental and will most likely be staying here again should our adventures take us back to Florida. Thanks Valerie for making our stay wonderful!!
The evening sky was beautiful every night.
