This VERY well equipped condo is just steps from the beach. There are many bars and restaurants nearby. There was a new washer and dryer in the garage and everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. Everything was in good working order.

Perfect beach getaway

Myself, wife, and 10 year old son stayed 4 nights during our April school vacation week. Condo was perfect, clean, and advertised. It had everything we needed, especially for the beach: chairs, towels, umbrella, kids toys, and a cart to carry it all. Beach was a quick walk right across the street. Pool was clean, and a nice break from the beach. Area has decent shopping, and plenty of restaurants within a short drive. (We did stay in one night and cooked. Kitchen had everything we needed.) Other attractions (boat trips, aquarium, etc.) were also a short drive away. It was a perfect beach vacation!

A Very Enjoyable Trip

This condo was fantastic. The location is very close to the beach and an easy walk. We really enjoyed having all of the beach chairs, umbrella and cart to use going back and forth. While we were staying the weather was fantastic and we were able to enjoy the beach on several occasions. The condo itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our family of five. We were even able to keep our rental car in the garage. If you are looking for a beach vacation rental on the western FL coast this is the place. You will not be disappointed.

This property is incredible! Great location, less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. The beach itself isn't crowded. Plenty of restaurants in the area. The property is spacious, clean, and perfect for an amazing getaway. Everything you need for a good day at the beach or pool is provided; chairs, beach buggie, sand toys, floats, umbrellas, and coolers. We had no issues with communicating to our host, she was very attentive and even helped us decide where to eat dinner. 10/10 would recommend, can't wait to stay again.

Fun short break in the sun

We had a lovely couple of days at Indian shores. The condo was very spacious and accommodated the six of us (4 adults, two kids) well. The location is good, right across from the beach and within walking distance of a few eateries, shops, and mini golf. The condo had everything we needed, and although we didn’t end up spending much time at the beach it was equipped with beach gear. Had a quick dip in the pool as well. Highly recommend.

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 boats, jet skis, and kayaks.
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.
