The view is perfect. The beds are comfortable and there is ample seating in the living room. The beach is never very crowded and the sand is sugar white. We would stay again.

Condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Only down side was the beds were very hard. We had to buy mattress pads and layer all the extra blankets they had available on top to make them bearable. It’s the only reason we probably won’t rent this unit again. If beds were softer we would come back often. If you like a firm bed than this is a excellent place to stay. Location and beach are great.

This is the second time we have stayed at this complex. We really enjoyed being there.
The complex is older and needs maintenance. The elevator needed maintenance several times throughout the week and was unavailable during that time. We were on the 4th floor and had to carry our beach chairs and tents up the stairs.

Thank you for your review. We do apologize that the elevator was down during your stay. We will contact the property manager to be sure they know how many times it was down. We do hope that you will give us a try in another building for your next stay.
Plumlee Gulf Beach Realty
Overall, the condo was great. I would say that a few items need to be repaired; bathroom sink stops up and water doesn't drain. The bathroom shower head and extension needs to be changed because it is too long and hard to move that the water sprays out the back and runs over the tub. Other than that, it was a very nice condo and would recommend to family and friends.

Not as expected:-(
I’ve stayed in the area for many years as I have family in the Tampa area, so very familiar with Indian Shores. I wanted Gulf beach view which is what I paid $$$$ for, sadly nothing else. VRBO Description indicated unit was updated in 2020….? The pictures of the condo on VRBO were manipulated using photo filters, and deceiving. The unit was older, dark and not cleaned to my standards. Furniture, lamps, bedding were old, iron was broken, blow dryer old, cracked glasses, dirty dishes as well as dirty kitchen counter top. I can continue! Lesson learned! Will not return to the Chateaux!

Loved the beach! Confused about the amenities!!
We rented the property for a girls getaway. The condo was nice but the amenities were lacking. We were under the impression that bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas were available for a small fee. However, when we went to rent the bikes we were told that they are at the management office and not on the condos property. Our condo was 2 miles away from the management office and we had no vehicle. Also we were told that they don’t rent bikes on the weekend due to limited staffing. Their website and the emails that were sent to me prior to our arrival need to be updated. Also very limited supplies at the condo. No dish soap?? 2 dishwasher tablets for a 5 day stay?? Really?? Probably won’t use this management company for future vacations

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the beach and condo. Our bikes are advertised as free weekday bike rentals. Our email confirmations also stated that the condos are self catering, and while we do provide a starter pack of paper products and dish washer tablets, they are not replenished throughout your stay. We do hope you will stay with us again.

We stayed at Chateux unit 402. The condo has amazing views from the balcony, was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. As mentioned in other reviews, the mattresses were firm but there were egg crate toppers available but we didn’t need to use them. Assigned parking meant we didn’t have to search for a space each time we went out. The elevator was great, especially since it is on the 4th floor. There were a few carts and a clothes trolley to help get our groceries and suitcases to the unit. We didn’t use the pool but it looked well taken care of and there were plenty of lounge chairs. The check in/out process was easy and the office staff friendly. We had a great time!

The photos and description online is a really good representation of the property. Check-in was easy as we were emailed everything in advance.
The size of the condo and views were amazing!!! It is a very low-key area... A few restaurants and bars within walking distance. Beach chairs and umbrellas always available. It was a great stay and we'd book again!

Wonderful, quiet relaxing stay just steps from the beautiful beach. No crowds at all. Great location to some great restaurants like Crabby Bills, Salt Rock Grill and Frenchies. Just minutes from Clearwater and John’s Pass. Quick drive to and from airport. Definitely going back. Condo had gorgeous views, and everything we needed with just a quick trip to grocery store for a few groceries. Even had beach chairs and umbrella.

Wasn’t what I’d hoped it would be
Didn’t like the fact that the pool was off the parking lot. Squeaky bathroom door from master bedroom. Street noise in bedroom.

The Chateaux 402 was very clean, very comfy and the view was outstanding! We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time. We were there for 6 nights and enjoyed every one of them. It was quiet except for the waves. Which was very nice. We can't wait to go back.

This condo had 90% of what we are looking for. The good: great views, good size balcony with furniture, full-size kitchen with everything you need, nice bathroom, and comfy couch with TV/DVD player. The bad: the two beds are very hard and not comfy at all. The pillows are very flat also. We think if a mattress topper was added to the beds, it would make things better. Otherwise, this was an excellent location and condo!!!
