We loved our stay here! So close to the beach and they offer everything you need for the beach. We had younger kids so they preferred to spend most of the time at the pool and that was great too!! The place was amazing. Everything you need to cook is there so you aren’t eating out every meal. Beds and pillows are super comfortable, everything is spacious. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Higgs

Host profile image
Born and raised in Utah. Although I love the 4 seasons that Utah offers, I love the beach! There's nothing like the calm sound of the ocean. My husband and I love to travel and I know how important it is to find out the things to do when we are in a new city. Owning the vacation rental is so rewarding. I enjoy communicating with our guests and offering fun things to do, places to visit, and some of our favorite restaurants. It makes me happy to know our guests are having a great vacation.

Why they chose this property

We traveled to Indian Shores and instantly fell in love. It's a beach community with the beach just a short walk from the condo. The location is perfect for those who want a relaxing vacation, yet still want to enjoy a huge variety of coffee/pastry shops, restaurants, bars, ice cream shops, and local shopping. The golf course choices are unlimited. If you love golfing, you are only a short drive to many amazing golf courses. Indian Shores has a cool beach-vibe, where locals are seen driving golf carts along Gulf Blvd.
Did I mention that the beach is just a couple of minutes from our condo?? You can experience some of the most amazing sunsets on the beach. It's captured our hearts and hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Enjoying coffee on the balcony, with views of the Intercoastal Waterway. It's so amazing.
The pool is perfectly located next to the Intercoastal, where you will see dolphins, birds, boats, jet skis, and kayaks. It’s a peaceful setting.
You won't find the high-rise hotels like you see in other beach towns. Indian Shores has a community feel. Some of the condos in our complex are occupied full-time by the owners. It's a nice mix of full time owners and short term guests.
Indian Shores has bike lanes and walking lanes, as well as designated cross walks, to get to the beach safely. There are so many local restaurants that you can walk to, drive to, or even take the local trolley ( for a small fee). The trolley stop is minutes from our condo. It’s our slice of paradise and we love to hear when our guests feel the same.
