Thumbs up
Ben was great to rent from and we loved the property! The kitchen is beautiful and very well stocked! The view is breathtaking, you won’t find a better spot for morning coffee or a drink at night watching the sunset! The only suggestion would have been a TV in the master but overall it’s very nice!
Our travel plans changed and we found this property on short notice. It was perfect for our family of 5. The home is clean and well equipped with anything you might need. Host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly.
This condo is fantastic! The pictures are spot on! Plenty of space for a family of five! Everything we needed was here! Beds were comfortable, updated bathrooms with plush towels, kitchen fully stocked with a Keurig and a regular coffee pot. The outdoor furniture was comfortable and we all enjoyed our coffee out there each morning. Had a very cold day but huddled on the huge sectional and watched movies together! Caddy's right across the street was perfect for a quick lunch/dinner and cocktails. The place was immaculate as well! We've stayed in this area before but this was by far the best condo yet! You will not be sorry! Grab it!
This condo was very clean and wonderful! Ben was great to communicate with and very helpful! We loved that there were coolers, umbrellas, and plenty of beach toys! The pool was big and very nice as well. It was also close to John's Pass and Clearwater. Would definitely recommend this condo!
Hands down the best place we have ever stayed at the beach in the 10+ years of renting. The pictures are exactly as the property was. Communication with Ben was great. Can’t wait to go back next year!
Ben was awesome to work with during the entire stay. The property was excellent and even better as pictured. The location was perfect as Indian Shores was safe and not crowded. Tja is for a great week!!
We really enjoyed our stay. This unit is clean, updated, and well furnished. Has great views of the beach, pool, and inter coastal waterway. This was our first time at Indian Shores, and thought it was a beautiful beach in a great location. The beach toys and gear that were provided was a huge plus.
Family of 6 stayed for a great week. We have stayed in this area 4 times previously at various locations. This was our favorite thus far. Loved the updates throughout. We will return! We appreciated the kitchen having a few staples and a nice supply of above entry-level kitchen ware.
