This condo was very nice. The Indian Rocks area is beautiful. The building itself as of October 2025 is being renovated. I assume due to age and last years storm damage. From the parking lot your thought is how can this be a habitable area. . We checked the unit before bringing in our belongings. The unit is well thought out and has everything you need for a comfortable home away from home. Everything was clean, kitchen well stocked. Beach accessories in the condo, a cooler available. The pool, hot tub and the surrounding patio area was gorgeous. Access to the beach is right out the back of the property. Communication with the owner was great. Will definitely keep this place in mind if we visit in the future. Added bonus if you like Italian food we highly recommend Forchetta!

Perfect Condo and Location

We had a wonderful stay! Condo was perfectly ocean front, with super easy beach access, and we loved sitting on the balcony each morning and night enjoying the view. Beds were comfortable and beach chairs and towels being provided were a huge bonus. We definitely plan to book this condo again!

Perfect Beach Stay!

Everything as listed! Home away from home. Has everything you need, all the little extras, from beach towels to spices in the cabinet for your steaks on the grill. Beautiful oceanview to watch the sunset and relax in the evening. Communication with the owners was easy. They were quick to respond and kind. We would definitely come back!

Wonderful stay

We stayed for my son's graduation during memorial day weekend into the following week. My mom hasn't been to the area since she was a kid and absolutely loved area. Very quiet, clean and owners made everything so easy for us. 35 minutes from where my son lives in central St. Pete and about 45 - hour drive from Tampa depending on traffic. We got the citypass since my son had graduation activities so got to explore many things in tampa and clearwater this trip. Had a wonderful time and the sunsets are beautiful sitting on the back porch.

Beautiful Beach Getaway.

This property was perfect for a relaxing beach stay. The beach and pool accesses are gated and the grounds are quite nice with fresh new landscaping. We walked across the street for lunch and dinner. The unit was very clean and well stocked. Cute little community.

Beachfront, Sunset view, Fantastic location & Clean!

We have a family of five with 1 pre-teen and 2 teenagers. The space was perfect, and the beach side view balcony was heavenly! I’m a stickler for a clean property and this place was definitely one of the cleanest I’ve rented. Parking garage is tight, but I was able to fit my suburban in there. We cooked in a couple of nights and ate out a couple of nights. Plenty of comfortable space. Both bathrooms were also spacious. Our hots were so fast to respond when we had questions and so gracious overall - such a pleasure to rent from! Check in and Check out was SO easy!It’s one of the softest beaches we’ve been to with plenty of space for families to spread out. The ocean was pretty calm as well when we were there which was April timeframe. We walked to a local coffee shop for coffee and breakfast each morning which we enjoyed so much - Indian Shores Coffee. We also walked to a fantastic putt putt where you can feed baby alligators, a yummy ice cream place, BBQ place and public park all less than a mile and a half from the condo. There is a nice sized walking and bike path right on the main road making it safe to walk to and from. We caught the amazing sunset views every night. Watching the sun slowly set below the gentle waves was my favorite part. We took so many great pictures! We would absolutely come back to this lovely condo, beach, and town!

Nice Condo

This is such a nice condo! You have everything available to you that you would need from beach chairs and towels, just about anything you would need to cook your meals except for the food, only thing i didnt like was the dryer but its better than having to use a coin one. If you have any problems at all Tim and Pam was quick to respond and would help with any questions. I 100% recommend staying in this condo.

Great location

Really awesome location right on the beach. The hosts were really accommodating. The pool was actually the perfect temperature despite the heat and that is almost always an issue at condos. Pleasantly surprised! The condo was a little musty and could use a bit of updating but really a great trip all in all.

Family Beach Vacation

Tim & Pam’s condo was the perfect place for our family! The pictures are exactly what you can expect. The washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus for us. The view was amazing, the pool and beach both close. We traveled with our 3 kids so for us, the beach closet with chairs, umbrella, toys, cooler, etc. was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your place with us. We will be back.
