We enjoyed the stay and ease of getting to places. We did run out of toilet paper and paper towels and had to make a trip to buy some. Really appreciated having a washer and dryer for the convenience!!We were unsure if we could go in either pool or hot tub??

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!
