The location of this property was PERFECT for our needs. The beach was steps away from the back deck, and the intercoastal for fishing was steps away from the front door. The beds were super comfortable, and we were close to shopping & restaurants. Thanks for having us!

Perfect location on the beach! Lower level bed was so comfy that we already went and bought one very similar. Everything needed was provided. Could use some updating but the rental makes that known in the description when reserving. Very nice property, beautiful sunsets

Perfect location

Truly right on the beach. Could not be more perfect. The house is in need of updating but clean. The driveway was a bit stressful being very narrow, almost got stuck in sand and could only back out onto busy road. The town center is so cute and very close. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location!

We had a great time staying here. The location is perfect to enjoy time out on the patio or a walk out on the beach. It was a little outdated but not a big deal! Especially with the ability to walk right out the back door to the beach. It had everything we needed for our stay!

Perfect place to stay when you don't want a crowded beach. We loved the quiet. Very nice to walk right out of the house, and be on the beach. Felt like a private beach! Great places to eat and shop right down the road!

We had a great stay down in Indian shores. wife and kids had a few things to say about the house being dated, and some little things that need attention but it’s on the beach, and plenty of room for us. Simple check in. Location is what we went for and it’s in a great spot!
