Great beachfront condo with heated pool
Perfect little spot for our family to spend a few days over the winter break. The condo was conveniently located right on the beach and next to a trolley stop. We loved the heated pool. Great sunset views right from the balcony.

Christmas getaway
Took my family - which included a 1 yr old, for Christmas to Indian rocks and enjoyed all of it. Not as busy as the other areas - wanted low key since we had a child with us - still close enough to everything to venture out. Our condo was very clean and had everything that I was expecting. Never had to contact owner - everything was easily found and usable. Definitely would recommend!

Family Thanksgiving trip
Our family met here to celebrate Thanksgiving. This unit was perfect, had all of the amenities needed to complete our Thanksgiving meal. We loved watching dolphins from the balcony in the mornings. The location was perfect, enjoyed being able to walk out to the beach and down the road for coffee. The beds and pillows were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and beach towels for our stay. It was also great to have a small cooler and a few lawn chairs available in the unit as well. Dean was wonderful to communicate with, we would definitely stay here again! The only downside was the elevator was broken for several days while we were there, other than that it was great!

Beautiful View!
Just getting around to writing a review as my family stayed here this past June. We absolutely loved this condo! It had an amazing view from the balcony. I even took a nap on the lounger bc it was so peaceful. The condo was clean and stocked with everything you could need on vacation, including chairs for the beach and beach towels. We loved the location right on the beach and you can even rent the lounger and umbrellas they have set up. It was less than 10 mins to Clearwater and the area around the condo was quiet. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. I was so sad when the vacation was over and we had to head home. It was the most relaxing trip I’ve had in many years. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful condo and view. We saw dolphins every day from our balcony! There wasn’t any trash bags or dishwasher pods in the unit so bring them with you. The here was some maintenance going on at the building right next to it, and the jack hammering was a little irritating.

Beautiful beach views
This is a very beautiful piece of property. Updated condo with a beautiful beach view. I had the pleasure of having a conversation with the owner who is so sweet and has an appreciation for the cleanliness of her condo. A really good feature of this condo is the sliding glass door and when it is opened it automatically shuts the air off. Having kids of any age is a benefit with this condo.

A Home Away from Home
We had a great time "down" in FL. This unit was ideally situated on the beach, directly facing the Gulf of Mexico. There's plenty of room for a family of 5 to spread out and enjoy the beach scene. This North end of the 'beach strip' isn't as busy as the South end, which is what we prefer. If you are into the bars and nightlife, look elsewhere. Our only hiccup was that the elevator was intermittently on the fritz. Lugging three suitcases up 4 flights of stairs wasn't the best way to start a vacation, but we survived the workout.

Perfect location!
My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and it was perfect. The location was perfect. He likes to fish and we were right on the intracoastal waterway and still beach front for me. The condo was the perfect size and we were provided with items for the beach. 10/10 would stay again.

Wish I was still there!
This condo was a great place to stay during our recent vacation in the area. The oceanfront views from the balcony were wonderful. Everything we needed was available in the unit (even though I must admit I didn't do any cooking). Loved having a w/d in the unit so I didn't have to bring home dirty clothes. Would definitely consider staying here next year. Thanks Dean!

A Week on the Beach!
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful week on the beach in Dean's condo. It was clean and spacious with a wonderful view of the gulf. The pool was warm and there was plenty of chairs to lounge in. The personnel in the office were very accommodating as well. The only draw back was the lack of restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful beachfront winter break
We spent 5 days at the condo in early February and it was a great winter break. This 4th floor condo is right on the beach. It is large, clean and comfortable, with plenty of living room seating and dining space, and a functional kitchen. The absolute best part was the lanai overlooking the gulf, perfect for watching the sunset with a glass of wine. I had several conversations with the owner before traveling to make sure everything was set up, and she even called while we were there to make sure things were going well. The white, sandy beach was great for long walks. As for things to do and see, we did a day trip to St. Petersburg for museums and galleries. I highly recommend visiting the Chihuly collection. It's small, but beautifully set up and the guided tour was really interesting. Fresh local seafood abounds. We had a great meal at the Original Crabby Bills. For breakfast: Sweet Sage Cafe and Kennys Korner, and great coffee at Indian Shores coffee. Get your homemade ice cream fix at Haze. I hadn't been to this part of Florida before, and I was surprised at how built up and busy it was, and a little disappointed that there wasn't much in the way of restaurants and shops within walking distance. But I had a car, and once I found my way around, I had no problems getting to where I wanted to go.

A great week at the beach
My family had a great time at the unit. The unit was well equipped, the building was nice, and the view was amazing! We had a leaking toilet in the unit and the owners were right on top of it and came right out and fixed it. We'll definitely be back!

Wow What a breath taking View
This condo's view takes your breath away, We watched the Ocean from the lanai. The peaceful sound of the ocean and watching the sunset was breath taking. The Condo with its open concept made cooking and staying apart of everyone Conversation so easy. The Bedrooms are roomy and the baths are roomy as well. Don't hesitate on this Condo it's Worth the trip . The pool is so nice too and it's heated.. And the beach is just steps from the pool . We love visiting this Condo this was our second time here and we will return soon.

Great Vacation Spot!
This was an awesome place! It is right on the beach, with a great view! There is a private swimming pool, shuffleboard, volleyball net, and bbq spot! Place was very clean, with a nice kitchenette! We also stayed in July with our kids. This condo is within walking distance to Kandy Kitchen, (one of our favorite places) and a short drive to John's Pass! Love this place and will stay again!

Our Home Away From Home!
We have rented this condo for the past several years and have always found it to be immaculate and extremely comfortable. The location is great and is in a very nice area. We have always found the owner and her husband to be extremely helpful and prompt to any issues which might arise. We love this condo and actually think of it as “our” winter home. There are many restaurants in the area. The Salt Rock Grill and Friendly’s are two of our favorite restaurants. Friendly’s is within walking and the Salt Rock is too - just about a mile. We also love walking down to the Pier and back which gives us a nice, almost 3 mile, walk each day. Did I mention? We LOVE the pool! In the winter it is heated and the pool area is situated in such a way that it protects from the winds. We have literally sat outside when it was in the 50’s and been perfectly comfortable! We love this place!

About the host

Hosted by Dean Boyd

Host profile image
Bill & Dean Boyd grew up in Indianapolis Indiana, and move to Florida in 1982. They been long time residents of Indian Shores were they owned and operated a beach front motel.

Why they chose this property

Over the years of operating a Motel we met many guests from different countries and walks of life. We enjoyed their company, stories, friendship, and many memories which we will never forget.
After developing our property into the building which is now SEASTAR, we decided to buy other condos in Indian Shores for our guest to return.

What makes this property unique

We have always loved the small town feeling that exist in Indian Shores, and the beautiful sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.
