Everything about the condo was great and the location was excellent. It was close enough to places but was quiet. We loved our stay. The only downside, the pool was cloudy and the filter system didn't seem to work properly.

Relaxing stay

We had plenty of room and everything we needed to enjoy the beach. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub because we are more “beach people” but they looked nice. Fantastic views with the beautiful palm trees right outside the balcony & Gorgeous sunsets. There were some minor differences from the photos. Patio furniture was different and I think some changes at the property & renovations since the last hurricane - some nice landscaping was added but the bbq equipment wasn’t there. That was ok we didn’t plan on using. It was a very chill area of town. The beach wasn’t crowded. There was a very cute little bunny, living in the bushes outside the gate to the beach. Lots of water birds around the beach, saw some lizards too. Lots of shells on the beach We rented a car, it was nice to have the parking spot. Nice to be able to check out the area shop & eat. Nice that caddy’s is right across the street. Guppy’s & Clear Sky restaurants were great. We generally ate breakfast at the condo and for lunch usually got DoorDash or went out. On DoorDash sugar baby was our favorite restaurant. Good sandwiches. Went to John’s pass for shopping and excursions. Parasailing was fun. Recommend doing excursion towards the beginning of a trip because you can talk with locals about things to do and where to eat. We would stay again!

Perfect location

From the moment I booked Tom/manager was a fabulous communicator about questions I had before and during stay. My family enjoyed this perfect spot. All beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well supplied, and the view every day was spectacular. The heated pool was perfect, and the beach was gorgeous. We loved walking across the street to Caddy’s. Such a fun restaurant with live music and good food. Indian Shores is much better than Clearwater(in our opinion) due to less crowds. We will definitely be back.

The location of Sandcastle was perfect for our group! It seems this is the quiet end of the beach….lots of space on the beach! Also, close enough to main roads to go and explore the area.

Pretty Perfect

Description was very accurate. Condo was immaculate. I’ve been traveling the area for 60 years and location is beautiful!!! Pool was amazing. A few items need a bit of updating like bathroom tub surrounds and moldings but did not detract from experience because of cleanliness. Tom responds to questions immediately.

Early Summer Vacation

This is our first visit to Indian Shores. The beach is really beautiful. I had no idea that the sunsets were right off the balcony. I took more pictures of sunsets than I did of my family. The condo is great, we had plenty of room. The beds were so comfortable, I have never slept so well! There are plenty of chairs at the pool all day so you could come and go and not worry about not having a chair. The hot tub was large but never crowded, so we often had it to ourselves.The main road the condo is on, has a dedicated bike lane and a separate pedestrian lane on both sides. I walked to the bakery at Indian Rock Beach every morning which sort of defeated the purpose of my walk but it was delicious. There is also a bike rental shop nearby which would have been fun as well. We ate dinner at Caddy's right across the street a few times, they have something for everyone. Overall it was a great trip and fun to get to know the area.

Wonderful Property-Wonderful Location

Love the location of this property. Right on the beach and the sunsets are breathtaking. Would highly recommend. This property had nice beach chairs, umbrella, toys, cart for the beach. It also had beach towels for our use. Plenty of towels, tea towels etc. If you have infants they had a pack and play, seat for table, silverware etc. Nice furniture. The property manager is great and if you call or text him he is readily available. We even got in early and went to the beach. We have dealt with the property manager last year and highly recommend him.
