Stunning Gulf of Mexico Views @ Beachfront 3Br2Ba 9th Floor Blue Harbors Retreat

The property is beautiful, and the views of the Gulf from the balcony cannot be beat! Stunning is an understatement! Miguel and Dave, the local manager, were a pleasure to work with. They were both very responsive to any and all questions we had. The location of the condo is fabulous! It seems to be in a quieter, less busy area so the beach almost seemed private. The trolly stop is conveniently located in front of the complex, and is super easy to take anywhere we wanted to go along Gulf Blvd. We would absolutely stay in this unit again. Thanks again, Miguel and Dave!

The condo was in the perfect location and was very clean. The kitchen had all we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The only thing we would have liked was ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

My family of 4 had a great time here. The view was just as expected with beautiful views of the ocean and a great place to watch the sunset. The place was clean, had plenty of beach chairs and sand toys to take down with you for the day. My daughter found lots of sand dollars and tons of neat shells. The pool was nice also. They have luggage racks and grocery carts to help load everything in one trip. The host answered all of my questions in a timely manner. If we return to this location we would definitely stay here again.

This was a great vacation and beautiful area to be at, right on the beach and great frontal views of the Gulf of America . Our apartment was very nice and equally clean, spent 10 days and had a great time, see you again!

Definitely would be back again.

We enjoyed our stay. Condo manager went above and beyond to help me with a mailing. Beautiful sunsets every night. Everything was clean and stuff was stocked well. The whistling of the broken window is annoying but they are fixing that and the sliding doors soon.

2nd year staying at Sandcastle 1. Great views and nice location. Great having beach chairs and beach wagon available.I ndian shores area starting to get going again. See you next year

Nice, clean property in nice location. However property was under construction and we were not informed until we were there. We couldn’t use the pool and balconies were being worked on.

This was our second year at Sandcastle1. We viewed lots of units last year and this year. What a gem we found with Blue Harbors Retreat!! Gorgeous condo with all the amenities our family of five needed. The host was great to work with and responded quickly to messages. The 9th floor offers amazing ocean views! We had a fabulous week!

We loved our stay at Blue Harbor! Beds were comfortable. Ceiling fans would help at night.

Great views on the beach. Living room, kitchen and master decorated beautifully. Wouldn't stay here again due to a bunch of issues that need to be resolved. Windows in front of the unit by 2 bedrooms are in need of repair and have been for a few weeks. My husband had to work with property manager to apply a bandaid fix to the windows. Bag over front door knob so you wouldn't lock it when replacing the lock would have been more beneficial. Third smaller bedroom was unable to be used as it stayed hot the entire stay. No curtains on slider door in living room heated up the unit every afternoon as the sun went down up to 75 in the unit. A/C froze, as well as a/c being an issue all week. It ended up being a working vacation. We've opened an incident with VRBO due resolve issues with property management. We've used VRBO many times over the years and this is the first time we've had any issues of this magnitude.

Nice property. Great view. Beautiful kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Would stay here again. However, a bunch of little things that could be easily fixed in a week needs to be done. The windows by the front door are in really bad condition and cant be used. The owner did warn us about this. There was scotch tape covering the front door knob so you wouldn't lock it. Both bathrooms had newer vanities which were nice but the tiling around it was unfinished. The wall behind the master sink looked really cheap because it was finished and painted poorly. The living room lacks window coverings which can be blinding during early evening. Towels and toilet paper were what I would call substandard for this type of unit. Overlapping blank electrical covers by the balcony door Just a bunch of small easy to fix things would make this a fabulous 5 star unit. Hope to try it again

Beautiful condo with a great view. We watched a manatee swim back and forth off the coast. Beach was perfect and the pool well maintained.

We enjoyed our stay.
