Barefoot beach Resort -Gulf Views ,Updated Condo Sleeps 6 Steps to the Beach

Grateful by the Gulf — Direct Gulf Views!

Escape to paradise at Grateful by the Gulf, a beautifully updated coastal condo at Barefoot Beach Resort in Indian Shores. With direct views of the Gulf of Mexico, private beach access just across the street, and the Intracoastal Waterway right outside the resort, you’ll be surrounded by the best of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

This chic, fully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo sleeps up to 6 guests. The bedrooms feature 2 comfortable queen beds, while the bonus sunroom/den offers a twin daybed with a pull-out twin trundle—perfect for kids or additional guests.

Step outside and enjoy the resort’s lush tropical setting, surrounded by mature palm trees and waterfront views. Spend your days relaxing by the heated inground pool overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, where you may spot dolphins, boats, and other marine life passing by.

Take a peaceful morning walk to the private dock to watch the sunrise, enjoy fishing right from the property, and end your day across the street on the beach watching one of Indian Shores’ spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets.

Everything You Need for a Beach Vacation

We want your stay to be easy and comfortable, so the condo is thoughtfully stocked with fresh linens, blankets, pillows, bath towels, and beach towels.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a ceramic-top electric range, refrigerator, dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, garbage disposal, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, bakeware, and other essentials.

Heading to the beach? We provide beach chairs for four, a beach umbrella, beach towels, and a beach cart to make the short walk across the street even easier.

The Best of Indian Shores at Your Doorstep

Barefoot Beach Resort is nestled on five tropical acres between the Intracoastal Waterway and the beautiful white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll be close to excellent local restaurants, waterfront dining, tiki bars, shopping, and plenty of activities.

Explore nearby John’s Pass Village, Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg, and the surrounding Gulf beaches. There’s even a Suncoast Beach Trolley stop across the street, making it easy to explore from Clearwater Beach to John’s Pass and all the way to Pass-a-Grille Beach.

Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, couples’ getaway, or simply looking for a relaxing place to enjoy the Florida sunshine, Grateful by the Gulf gives you the perfect combination of coastal comfort, beautiful water views, and an unbeatable Indian Shores location.

The place was perfect for my mom, sister, and me. We were right across the street from the beach and with the beach gear it made it so convenient to pop over and relax in the ocean. We will definitely save this property for future reference

We really enjoyed our stay at this VRBO! The condo was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better. It was just a quick walk across the street to the beach, which made everything so convenient. We also loved having restaurants and mini golf nearby, plenty to do within walking distance. Overall, a great spot for a beach getaway and we would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our quick stay at Debra's place. The condo was just as described and very clean. The close proximity to the beach was great. The availability of beach chairs, umbrella, cooler was very nice. The property also backs to the bay and the pool is very nice. Debra was so easy to work with and was very attentive to a small issue we had. Would definitely book this place again.

This place was amazing! Perfect location. Nice private beach access. Had beach supplies so didn’t need anything. Had sun room with many windows where you could see the ocean. Great space for our family with toddlers. Only negative I would say was cleanliness. Several dishes and pots were put away dirty and we had to wash them before using them. And at least 2 of the blankets you could tell had not been washed, had food stains stuck on them. We also found someone’s medical needle under the couch while we were cleaning to leave

My boyfriend and I loved our time at the LUXE modern Condo! We enjoyed going right across the street everyday for the beach and the sunset as well as having a quiet community to relax at. It was also very convenient to have the sunset trolly right across the street that we could ride to Clearwater or St. Pete. Debra was amazing and made the check in process very easy! I really appreciate her great food recommendation! Would gladly stay again for my next trip to Indian Shores!

The one hour time frame to check in makes things difficult. You can’t check in until 4 but the office closes at 5. You then have to call to get keys and go back to office again the next morning to complete check in. We had a small issue with them saying we owed addition money at check out but it was resolved before we left.

Great Place in Indian Shores

This unit was very clean and comfortable, good furnishings in all rooms and very good location with beach access right across Gulf Blvd. We could see the Gulf from our window. This is the place we'll be (hopefully) be staying when we come back. The resort has a very nice swimming pool as well, resort staff were great handling a minor problem we had, so all in all, a real good place to stay.

Host profile image
Hi there, we are a family of three & for years, I have LOVED the beach for as long as I can remember... I find my serenity there, That is where the world can be still and I can breathe in and out and enjoy all that nature has to offer. I have been wanting a little beach condo to call our own. We live in NJ and we have pretty harsh winters. We finally achieved our DREAM after working hard for so many years. And that is why we call it "Grateful by the Gulf" We are extremely grateful to be given this opportunity and would love to share it with you all.

Why they chose this property

This condo has been recently updated, there are newer floors, furniture, bedding and finishes. Every time we go, we try to do a bit more. We are the closest to the beach in building D and we have a view of the Gulf of Mexico from our front windows. You can have breakfast and look out to the gulf. There is a view from almost every room EXCEPT for bathroom and back bedroom to parking lot.

What makes this property unique

This condo is in a community with a heated built in pool and an offsite gym.
We have an office that's open Monday thru Sunday 7 days a week 9-5 pm that serves as an on site concierge service, We also have on site management, maintenance, and a cleaning service. IF you would like additional cleaning services during your stay AND more towels or if there are any issues upon arrival Please contact the office or myself.
