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

Thank you so much, for staying with us again and for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!
This is a great 2nd floor condo, very clean and comfortable, with easy access to the Gulf beaches, restaurants and coffee shops. The condo swimming pool is a good size with some shade. This was our 2nd stay and plan on coming back (if available!) Debra is a great host!
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!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear you had such a fantastic stay at Grateful by the Gulf. Our goal is to create a relaxing, memorable beach getaway for our guests, and we’re so happy we could be a part of that for you. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us—we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another sunny escape!
We enjoyed our stay and condo was great location. Pool and beach were great too. Lots of good food near by. Debra was always available when we had questions. Thanks.
Overall 10/10 stay! 2 bedrooms, a pull out trundle bed, 1 bath a living room, kitchen & kitchen table. Perfect distance and easy beach access just across the street from Gulf blvd! Not too far from some great food, drinks, shopping! The whole complex looked taken care of and cared for. Debra our host replied to our questions on check in and parking and overall was amazing to work with! We will be back for sure!
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.
The condo is in a perfect location for access to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again. Debra was responsive and the time spent was a delight.
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
We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully decorated condo in Indian Shores. The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had. The condo is fully stocked with anything you may need.
The location was great for fishing at a dock area and for relaxing at the beach. This unit was right by the beach access path across the street. The unit was very clean and spacious. We felt very comfortable in the unit and in the Indian Shores area as well.The heated pool was very nice too!
Steps to the beach and pool. Beautiful sunsets from this second floor condo. Nicely decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our beach vacation.
This is our 3rd time staying at Debra’s barefoot beach condo. We look forward to coming back each year. Beautiful, welcoming property with the beach just across the street. Definitely recommend staying here! 10/10
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.

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.

About the host
Hosted by Debra
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.

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.

There is a view from almost every room EXCEPT for bathroom and back bedroom to parking lot.
