Property was very nice! Loved the view of the ocean and the inter coastal! My kids loved watching the draw bridge and looking for dolphins in the inter coastal! Room is very roomy and comfortable! The area is quiet and the beach was not crowded at all. The pier was fun to fish off of. Would stay at th sand dollar again anytime!

Sand Dollar Getaway

Cindy was absolutely amazing! We checked in on Memorial day weekend and the rental company forgot our wrist bands for the property. By the time realized the company was closed for the long weekend - Cindy called me personally and let us use her personal stash - Thank you so much!! The condo was spacious and easily accommodated our family of 5. Extra beach towels and toys for the sand was a definite plus! Highly recommend this property as well as the owner 🌊

Great location

My family loved the location of this property!!! The heated pool was wonderful and the hot tub is HOT! We loved the amenities. The condo itself needs to be cleaned better. There were cockroaches that we had to kill in the 2nd bathroom. However, the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has all the cooking accessories you could want. The condo is spacious for a family. We took the stairs every time because the elevator is very slow. Overall the condo was sufficient but I would not stay there again due to the lack of cleaning.

Best of two views

My family loved your condo. The views of the beach and the intercoastal were amazing. We spent many hours on the deck enjoying them both. The beach was clean, the water was calm, and the pool and hot tub were added bonuses. We were able to find beach chairs to use. The condo was comfortable and well stocked. The coffee maker broke near the end of our stay. I did report it to the office. Found a great coffee place down the road- Bad Ass Coffee. What an amazing value for the price. We will definitely come back. Thanks for letting us share your beautiful place. The Guerino's- Atlanta, GA

Not clean, spare bedroom, television didn’t work. Both bathroom sinks leaked the spare bedroom twin beds were disgusting. The pillows were stained and smelled. The noise was such a disturbance with the construction underneath. Thought we were going to be able to look right at the ocean instead we were looking Down gulf Boulevard. My sisters had stayed in other beach. There were giving a 10% discount back because of the inconvenience of parking and noise. The deck was dirty and never chairs were all rusty except two otherwise we had to put towels over them to sit in them. Would not recommend this to anyone we made it through the three weeks you can say we had no choice. The price was so over what everyone else paid.

Can't wait to visit again in the fall!!!!

This was our group's second stay in this condo. It was like coming home after a long and tough day's work to relax in a comfortable, clean and air conditioned condo with plenty of room for our group of six. It really is so comfortable... it's like being in your own home except on the beach and you don't have to go to work when you get up! We love this place! The balconey is on the side of the building, but you have wonderful views of perfect sunsets to the left and then you can watch for dolphins going by on the Intercoastal Way to the right! Cindy is an exceptionally wonderful and sweet person and makes renting her condo so stress free. I love this condo so much that I am bringing my mom, sister and nieces back this fall for a girls' week! Thank you Cindy for being so wonderful and for letting us stay in your beautiful condo! :)

Nice Condo, Great Beach!

My family and I, a total of 9 of us. Stayed here for 4 days. The location and the beach are great. The condo is very spacious and was very accomodating. We did have a couple of complaints though. When we arrived at the condo there was hair ALL over the bathroom floors. I found it odd since the condo smelled like lysol when we walked in and there were "just sanitized" tags on the toilet seats .Also, the few cups and bowls that we used from the cabinets had obvious food left in them. So, I don't know how well everything was actually cleaned. The beds were also not very comfortable. The master bed apparently felt that the bed was too soft and everyone in the other 2 rooms complained that the other beds were very worn and hard. The condo was a good deal for the price and the location. If we were to stay here again I would try to arrive early enough in the day to call housekeeping if there were issues with the cleanliness again.

Highly recommend staying here!

We recently stayed here with 3 of our friends (there were 5 of us total), and we had a wonderful time. The property is exactly as pictured. Everything was very clean on arrival. Now, the unit is listed as having a blender, but we couldn't find one and we really wanted margaritas...but hey, beer/wine is fine too. :) Just fyi, you might want to bring your own if you really like your blended drinks! Dealing with Cindy, the unit owner, was a breeze. Super nice lady who made things simple. Also, the price for a full week during the off season was very affordable. Much less than all of the other places we looked at. Don't let the low price worry you--it's just a great deal for a great place! Everyone at the front desk was helpful as well. The beach is beautiful. We went kayaking in the Gulf and on the Intracoastal. The pool and hot tub are fun and everything around the condo was quiet and relaxed. I definitely recommend eating at The Conch Republic if you enjoy seafood, and it's only a couple of miles up the road. Definitely stay here, and you'll have a great vacation!

Best vacation

The condo is huge, the appliances are all very nice & the kitchen is stocked with everything you will need. Including kids plates, cups & bowls which my 3 kids loved! The rooms are all very spacious with a lot of closet space. To all the parents thinking of renting this condo: you won't have to bring a thing. There is a closet with tons of beach toys, boogie board, balls, beach chairs, umbrella, & even little trucks, crayons & coloring books. The pool & hot tub are very nice with lot's of seating. The beach is BEAUTIFUL! The powdery white sand is so nice. Clearwater Beach is one of our favorite places & is only about 20 min. away. Pier 60 at night is a good time. Clearwater Marine Aquarium (Winter the dolphin from the movie Dolphin Tale) is only about a 25 min. drive. Indian shores coffee is great. The Conch Republic just down the road had really good seafood esp. for the price. We loved the balcony for early morning dolphin watching on the intercoastal & evening sunsets too. We had an amazing vacation, made lots of memories & loved the condo. Cindy is the BEST owner I've ever rented a condo from & we hope to rent again in the future!

Family vacation. The location of the property was perfect! The beach was well supervised and clean. Loved the cool and lighter brown/white sand. The condo’s pool was kept clean daily and nice. The condo itself was nice for this location, a little outdated, a few spots were missed in cleaning, spiderwebs and dust, not huge deal. The rooms were spacious, but one room did not have a ceiling fan or ceiling lights. The remotes for the lights in the other two rooms and living room, seemed to work off of the same circuit. You would turn off or on the light and it would work opposite down the hall or living room. Only a small table light, in the twin bed room. It was equipped for the beach. It was equipped for dishes, however we had to go buy bathroom shampoo and wash. We had to buy garbage bags, etc. Condo has 1 elevator for all floors, so slow. We also had trouble with condo lobby lock and codes. It was not only us. It was other visitors as well. They had to end up, taping off the main door to the lobby.Overall it was worth it and would probably stay again.

Family Spring Break

Pros: The condo unit was exactly as described. Very spacious, lots of room for the 7 of us to enjoy. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. Great Location. Beach was literally right past the pool. Not too crowded. Balcony had plenty of furniture and you could see both the ocean and the intercoastal from your perch on the 5th floor. You can rent beach lounger/cabanas. Lots of parking. Cons: The elevator. Not only is it super slow but it is small and cramped. Wish there were more dishes. Not enough bowls for everyone. Could really use a keyless door. Sounds like there used to be one and it broke. Hard to share keys for 7 for the condo unit, bathroom by the pool and staircase. Not enough chairs by the pool. If you don't get down early you will not get a chair. People would "reserve" 8 chairs for their group and only 2 were at the pool, no idea where the rest of their group was maybe the beach. There were multiple groups that did this.

Beautiful Condo

This was our family's first visit to the Indian Shores area and won't be our last. We stayed in Cindy's condo for two weeks and our weather was absolutely perfect! The condo was very spacious for our family of six and is beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the beautiful views of both the Intercoastal and the Gulf, and watching the boats as they traveled up and down the Intercoastal. We loved our morning walks on the beach and watching the many Florida birds. The bird sanctuary is just within walking distance and that was a must see for us bird lovers. A little smelly but it was worth it. During the day the balcony is in the shade which I loved and late in the day we enjoyed watching the sunsets which were breathtaking. We also enjoyed going out on the private pier to watch sunsets, fishermen, and dolphins. We also saw dolphins swimming in the Intercoastal! The property is well maintained and very clean. If we weren't swimming in the Gulf, we were pool side using both pool and hot tub. A few times we used the grills outside which was a nice change instead of eating out every night. The property manager was very helpful and friendly and check in went smoothly. If you need to use a printer, the Sand Dollar doesn't allow you to use theirs but a quick run down to the property manager's office and I was able to use theirs. What I liked most about the area was that it wasn't as crowded as Clearwater, Indian Rocks Beach, and Treasure Island can be. It was very convenient to get to local grocery stores, attractions, and restaurants. I would definitely recommend Cindy's condo. Thank you Cindy for letting us vacation in your condo. We all had a great time and we'll be back in the future!
