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!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful, clean Oceanside condo

We traveled to Indian Shores from Des Moines, Iowa. One of the things that drew me to this condo was the balcony and it did not disappoint. The view from the balcony was amazing! The condo was clean on arrival and very well stocked with linens / towels and kitchen supplies. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. The washer and dryer in the unit were wonderful for a beach vacation. There is a bin of beach goodies on the porch from beach chairs to sand castle supplies. The area had plenty to do. The activities we loved the most were body surfing, walks on the beach and bicycling the Panellas trail. We rented from Trail Sport Bicycles. They are reasonably priced and supplied us with everything we needed. Head North on the trail, that is the best. Things to avoid…We went to the Clearwater aquarium which I do not recommend. It is small and took us less than an hour to get through. Busch gardens was also a bust. Very expensive and the rides kept breaking down. They nickel and dime you on everything. The food…we love donuts and Jupiter donuts did not disappoint. It is about a 15 minute drive. We drove to town most nights for dinner. Miller’s Ale house was great. Zaxbys is good fried chicken. Caddy’s is right across the street with good drinks Parking… It is very tight but doable. We had a minivan that fit with lots of maneuvering. The guest parking was never open so I’m glad we only had one car. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful condo!

Wonderful stay at this condo. If you want to stay and cook in, everything you need is provided. The grill area is very useful. If you prefer to eat out, Caddy’s is right across the street along with many other restaurants within minutes away. The pool was always clean, convenient parking, and the beach is right there. Sunsets are beautiful and if you enjoy boating or kayaking, it is right across the street. Plenty of room in the condo and Valerie is quick to answer any questions you may have.

Great Location and Beautiful Views

We had a great experience staying at this property. It was clean and the view was gorgeous. The location is perfect. We typically stay further up in Indian Rocks Beach but we booked this trip a little later than usual and decided to stay further down. We walked across the street to Caddy's a couple of times and I liked that we were closer to Salt Rock Grill which is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The only issue we experienced was only having one parking pass when we got there. I think the previous people might have driven off with it. But the owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond and was able to come over and give us a new one. And, wouldn't you know it, but then one of our party went and drove off with the parking pass, too! But they were very nice about it and allowed us to mail it back. The owners are friendly and you can tell they want their guests to have a great experience. Overall, it was a great trip and the location and view from the condo is one of the best!
