Indian Shores Condo
Come on down! This stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1235 square foot, family-friendly condo is the ultimate vacation destination located directly on Pinellas County’s Gulf Coast & World Famous pristine white sugar sand beaches. This home is located in the perfect spot. A waterfront restaurant is right across the street in addition to boat & scooter or cart rentals.
This exclusive condo boasts direct breathtaking views of the beach & Gulf of Mexico to the West from the Master bedroom, living room, dining room & the kitchen. This 2nd floor condo is one of only a few that offer the premier location and interior features that surpass all expectations. Locals refer to this area of our beach as the Narrows since our island in this area is almost all beach with the intracoastal waterway just across the street.
The living area provides a large flat screen TV. The Master suite features a King size bed, flat screen TV & private bathroom fit for the most discriminating guests with a spacious updated shower and granite counter tops. This great condo offers a split bedroom plan with the larger guest room boasting 2 Full beds and a flat screen TV while the smaller bedroom has 2 Twin beds and currently a small flat screen TV. The guest bath, also remodeled features a tub & shower combo.
The fine furnishings throughout this condo will please the most meticulous guests. For your convenience, the kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances in addition to the essentials such as a toaster, dishes, cooking utensils & lots more. The laundry closet in the condo offers a stackable washer & dryer for all those beach towels (6 of which we supply for your use) or swim suits you’ll be washing after your days of fun on the beach or by the pool.
Enjoy the magnificent sunset views relaxing on the private and direct Gulf front Balcony off the Living Room & Master Bedroom, overlooking the heated pool and hot tub area while listening to the Gulf of Mexico’s calming waves as they come ashore. This fantastic balcony boasts a spiral staircase for your short cut to the beach, pool, hot tub and grills with no need to use the elevator unless you want to.
After the day on the beach, it’s just a short walk or drive to some enjoyable restaurants. Our Pinellas County beaches also offer a Trolley Service that has a pickup right out front as well as stops along Gulf Boulevard furnishing you access to the many local treasures we have to offer all day and late into the evening for minimal costs. If you have a vehicle there is a reserved parking space under the garage as well as guest spaces out front for your convenience.
This smaller building of the Sand Castles is a unique retreat with its privacy from the larger crowds.
Starter supplies only on paper products, trash bags & soaps

Why they chose this property
Luxury, Direct Gulf front condominiums that overlook our beautiful, pristine, white sandy beaches and Gulf front swimming pools for the best of both worlds. Our vacation rental condos will impress the most particular guests. For those of you that don’t know, between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach, there’s a group of supreme island communities that offer all the fun, food and shops one may desire. These smaller town beaches are not as populated as the others often and the condo homes that line these quaint cities offer the opportunity to “Live the Florida Lifestyle”. Hang where the Locals do and let us share a piece of our Paradise. For those that want to venture out further, Trolley Stops offering service to Clearwater Beach or St. Pete Beach are situated conveniently up and down the Gulf Boulevard corridor. There’s a local water park, restaurants on the water (some accessible by boat), in addition to the Famous Busch Gardens, MOSI, Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park, Florida Aquarium in Tampa at Channelside within an hours drive as well as Disney, Sea World and Universal among others about an hour and a half away.
What makes this property unique
Direct Gulf front views from the Kitchen, Living Area & the Master Bedroom & of course the Extra-Large Balcony. This second-floor corner condo is the premiere unit in the building. Outstanding location with private, spiral stairway down your back balcony to the pool, grills, beach and Gulf of Mexico. Come on down, get your toes sandy and feet wet!
