Check-in after 4PM (early check-in may be offered morning of arrival for $50 if available)
No mail delivery permitted

Rates on open dates are subject to change. We maintain a strict 60-day no refund/cancellation policy, including for weather, hurricanes (June 1–Nov 30), red tide, cold pool temperatures, health issues, travel disruptions, or amenity closures (beaches, pools, elevators, Wi-Fi, roads, restaurants, etc.).

If a date change is allowed (it may not be approved), date changes incur a $50 fee plus any rate difference. No rain checks or compensation will be offered.

Travel insurance — especially “Cancel For Any Reason” coverage — is strongly recommended.

We look forward to welcoming you to a relaxing beachfront escape on Indian Shores! 🌞

Please note: We do not provide extra supplies during your stay, regardless of its duration. Some of the main items we do not provide include shampoo, body wash, conditioner, tissues, oils, spices (salt, pepper, etc.), coffee filters, cream or sugar, and aluminum foil.

IMPORTANT: If you book this unit but another party will be making the payment, you must add the payer’s email address to the booking, and the payer will need to e-sign our rental agreement. Only the person who pays is authorized to e-sign the rental agreement.

Age Requirement: At least one guest must be 25 years of age or older. Under the ADA and Florida law, owners of public accommodations are not required to allow emotional support animals—only documented service animals.

Rates on open dates are subject to change. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.

There is a strict no refund/cancellation policy within 60 days of check-in. This includes no refunds due to health conditions, weather conditions, water conditions (including cold water or red tide), or transportation/road conditions, including flight cancellations.

Booking date changes may not be possible. If a date change is approved by the owner, a $50 fee will apply per change. If the new dates are at a lower rate, the difference will not be refunded; if higher, the difference will be charged. Again, travel insurance is highly recommended, especially during Florida’s hurricane season (June 1–November 30).

Check-in is anytime after 4PM. We cannot guarantee that pools will be warm during colder months and will not provide discounts or refunds due to cold pool temperatures.

Please understand the potential aftermath of a hurricane. Closures of restaurants, shops, roads, amenities, beaches, Wi-Fi/cable, pools, elevators, etc., may occur and could last weeks or longer. Our owners will uphold the no-refund cancellation policy for any such inconveniences and will not make exceptions. For this reason, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Some policies offered during booking may include “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) coverage. Please carefully review policy exclusions. If coverage is not offered, you may purchase insurance through a third-party provider. Date changes, rain checks, or compensation will not be available under these circumstances.

Early Check-In:
Due to frequent same-day turnovers, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting early check-in. Check-in begins at 4PM Eastern. If the unit becomes available early, it may be offered on the morning of arrival for a $50 early check-in fee.

The payer of the booking must sign our rental agreement to ensure that guest instructions are automatically sent at 3PM on the day of arrival.

Mail:
Mail delivery is not permitted, as this is a vacation rental. If you need mail during your stay, we recommend securing a local P.O. Box.

A slice of heaven

We could not have been happier with our stay! The furnishings are exquisite, upscale, and so comfortable. We were blessed with amazing sunsets, and this morning, the full moon set over the ocean off the balcony. What a gift every moment has been to us. Thank you for sharing your home; it is a true treasure for anyone who comes to visit.

Great location with restaurant options you can walk to. Very nice accommodations. Only complaint is it would have been nice to know in advance that painters would be sandblasting the adjacent stairwell during our stay. Very noisy from 8:00 - 4:00.

Amazing stay!

Location is perfect! Can’t beat the view from this condo!! The beach was beautiful. You can rent chairs and an umbrella, but the condo also had a beach wagon, several chairs and umbrellas to use. Loved the restaurant Caddy’s across the street, easy to walk to making it very convenient. Host was super responsive, we had a wonderful time and did not want to leave! Highly recommend!

This condo was exactly as described by other renters.

Family beach time

While the overall condo unit was a little dated, the condo itself was very updated. We loved the interior and furnishings. Our favorite was sitting in the balcony having coffee my morning and watching the sunset in the evening. While there may be newer hotels or condos in the area, I don’t think any would be as convenient for pool and beach access. Also, it was nice to have Clearwater just 20 minutes to the north and St Pete 20 minutes to the south.

Location! Location! Location!

We loved the view and being able to hear the ocean! It was a needed relief from our WI winter. The unit fit our party of 5 nicely. The kitchen was well stocked and had updated appliances. The full size washer and dryer were a bonus. The dining and living areas were also really nice. There were a lot of beach items in the storage area, which we used and appreciated. The heated pool and hot tub were a great option when we were done on the beach. We definitely recommend this condo!

Great sunset!

Great location- right on the beach. Wonderful sunset viewing! Has the key amenities- the full size washer and dryer were wonderful to have. Beach wagon, boogie boards, sand toys, etc in a closet to use. Recommendation to include in the listing would be to include specifics of parking limitations of 7’ esp. for vehicles with cargo carriers/roof racks. They do have guest parking outside, but not a lot. We were frustrated by the short notice (after we checked in) that the pool would be closed the next day( and unsure how long after that) due to renovations. So, we didn’t get to enjoy the pool enjoy tub.Also, we didn’t have enough full size bath towels. Overall, very clean and the view is amazing.

Nice clean condo

The condo was great! The beach was very nice. Would be great if actual lounging beach chairs were provided. The cost to rent chairs was too high. Owner did provide sand chairs but so badly rusted. The lamp in the MB did not work but property manager said they would take care of it. We improvised. Beach was nice but seaweed was all over. Liked the elevator - helped with luggage. Sand cart was excellent for taking chairs and toys to the Beach. Condo was well equipped with everything you might need and very tastefully done!

Nearly perfect

The condo is decorated with great taste, and has plenty of supplies even some beach towels and a beach cart. Loved having a third bedroom. Even though small, it was perfect for one teenager who wanted personal space! Communication was good with the property manager. My only complaint/recommendation would be to be sure that the listing indicates the height restriction for the parking garage, which is 7 feet. We could not get our SUV in with a topper on it. Fortunately, we were able to work out some thing With an empty condo, but that won’t always be possible.

Cleanest and Most Perfect Condo

I cannot stress enough that this unit was the cleanest. The floors are white marble tile and I went to wipe up a little water that got on the floor and the paper towel (dampened) was clean. The baseboards, behind the couch…all clean. I vacuumed and got nothing out of the throw rugs. I appreciate this the most as I can feel comfortable in a clean place. There were plenty of cleaning supplies to clean up after yourself which I appreciate as I did not have to guess what they want used to clean with and buy it. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The kitchen had everything you could need and was again, very clean. There are sand toys in the outside closet but we never opened it to get them (closet on deck). The view of the gulf is amazing and being able to have a beautiful view and be at the warm pool on a cooler day was awesome. Hot tub was great. We loved this place and we would like to stay there again.

Florida in July

We really enjoyed the condo. Great location. The beach is steps away. White sands, and 7th floor gives you great view. Big patio with seating. Condo is up to date, nice kitchen, clean, everything we wanted. Washer/dryer. Beach toys, even a wagon to haul our stuff back and forth from the beach. Sunsets were amazing. If you know where to look, you can find sand dollars (but don't take the live ones). Dolphins swam by every morning. Pool was great. Hot tube was good, but not really needed in July. We had covered parking and used the visitor parking for a second car. Wish they had more visitor parking, but we never had a problem getting a spot. There are two buildings, and this condo was in the older of the two buildings -- so it has some character. We would would be returning renters. Oh, we also left an iPad. The cleaners found it, returned it to the property manager, who graciously offered to ship it back to us. So that was nice. Thank You!

Great beach location

The condo is exceptionally well done and so very close to the beach. The building itself is a bit dated (especially elevators) but landscaping and grounds are lovely. Pool was great. The balcony closet, filled with assorted beach stuff, was perfect. Beach chairs and umbrellas were awesome to have. Not tons of shops nearby but a few walkable places and groceries were close. Trips to John's Pass and Clearwater added some variety. Great seafood abounds and nothing better than coffee on the balcony in the morning and sunsets there at night. Relaxing and beautiful trip!
