Sandcastle I has some of the most beautiful grounds along the beach, and the management takes great pride in the condition of the common areas. It has a beautiful BEACHFRONT HEATED POOL and LARGE SPA/HOT TUB next to the pool, overlooking the beach. Other amenities include a sauna, lending library, ping pong/recreation area, poolside washrooms & change rooms. For you BBQ lovers, there are two gas BBQ’s on the grounds as well as a charcoal grill - complete with tables to relax & enjoy a beverage while doing your grilling.
ABOUT THE AREA…
Indian Shores is located on a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, between Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and is easily accessible via several major airports, including Tampa (TPA), St. Petersburg (PIE), and Sarasota Bradenton (SRQ). You can also fly into Orlando (MCO) if your plans include Disney, which is less than two hours away (along with Sea World, Universal Studios, Gatorland, and all the other Orlando attractions). In the immediate Tampa Bay area, there are unlimited attractions such as Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, the Florida Aquarium, John’s Pass, the Lowry Park Zoo, just to name a few. Into sports? It’s all here: NFL Football (Buccaneers), Major League Baseball (Devil Rays, as well as well as spring training for many MLB teams including the Yankees, Blue Jays, Phillies & others nearby), NHL hockey (Lightning) and countless golf courses. If boating is your thing, there are rentals available directly across the street on the intercoastal waterway & boat slips are available within walking distance. Shopping? You won’t be disappointed; shopping from high end to factory outlets all within a short drive!

You will be dealing with the owners from start to finish, we take pride in our condo and we are always available (call/text/email) if you have questions!
The Suncoast Beach Trolley (stops outside the building) is a convenient way to get around on the beach if you don’t want to drive. If you do drive, we have an assigned parking spot and limited guest parking is also available.
This is a non-smoking unit. Sorry, pets are not allowed in the condo or on the grounds. Sandcastle 1 is a family/adult building. If this does not suit your needs we would respectfully ask that you look elsewhere. Primary renter must be min. 25 years old and must occupy unit - strictly enforced.

Christmas in Florida with family
This property is exactly as listed. It is clean and well-appointed. Had everything we needed to cook and spend time together. The dryer takes forever to dry towels. Would stay again.

Host profile image
We have been visiting this area of Florida for 30 years, purchasing our first unit at Sandcastle in 2008. This is our 2nd unit. Having rented for 15+ years and continuing to rent in other areas, we have a really good idea of what people are looking for :) Our goal is to anticipate what our guests will want and EXCEED their expectations. We hope you will agree!

Why they chose this property

We love Sandcastle I, we have two units in the building. The view and grounds are second to none in the area!

What makes this property unique

Directly on the beach!! Awesome pool and hot tub right next to the beach.
