The beach view and pool were excellent. Easy access. Across the street you had canal views. The balcony was nice and furniture scale was just right for it. Indian Shores was a laid back area that was easy to navigate with no traffic issues. Restaurants near by, Caddy’s was a nice bar/restaurant directly across the street and the food was good.

Indian Shore was beautiful and the beaches were pristine. Property/condo was nice but dated. We were on the 10th floor and the views were spectacular. However, there was only one elevator operating and on a one occasion that elevator was not working. My husband has a heart condition, and the elevator was a concern.

View was as promised, kitchen was appropriately stocked. Only complaint is that the furniture had been moved around from where the pictures on the website showed and made the initial impression of the room very poor. After rearranging the furniture in the living area and on the porch as displayed on the website and adding some fresh flowers it became more enjoyable. Also, the mattress in the 3rd bedroom could use some improvement. We did call maintenance to have a grease spot removed from the ceiling above the microwave. Other than that we did enjoy our trip. The beach and pool / outdoor kitchen area is good. We did enjoy our stay.

Perfect condo for our 2026 family beach vacation. The kids loved the pool being right next to the beach and the beautiful beach being steps away from your front door was the icing on the cake. Sitting on the balcony at night and watching the sunset was the perfect way to end the day. Condo was well equipped and we really couldn't have asked for anything more. Except the elevator service. One of the elevators was down so only had one running elevator for 10 floors of condo guests. Had to walk down a few times because of the delay in getting an elevator. A few times they had to shut the only running elevator down when they worked on it so had to wait around because we definitely could not lug 4 kids and our beach supplies up 10 flights of stairs. Other than that issue it was the absolute perfect spot for a beach vacation. Located close to restaurants within walking distance and a beautiful surrounding area. Loved it and will book again for sure.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The beach and view from the condo were fantastic, and we loved the area with plenty of nearby restaurants that never felt overly crowded. Having a dedicated parking space was also a big plus.The condo was well stocked with beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, and boogie boards. While there were quite a few broken chairs that could be cleaned out, we appreciated having beach gear available and left behind a couple of new chairs and a small cooler for future guests.The biggest drawback was the elevator. Being on the 10th floor with only one small working elevator meant long waits, and we often saw people ride it to the top just so they could ride back down. From other reviews and conversations with guests, this appears to be a longstanding issue.The condo itself could use a few updates. The bunk bed is very wobbly, the lower bunk mattress is very thin, and the living room couches are quite worn. The master bedroom only has sheer curtains on the sliding door, so there's little privacy from the shared balcony space or light blocking. The dryer door is difficult to open because of the bifold closet doors. Overall the condo could benefit from a thorough deep cleaning, especially the air vents and other overlooked areas.

Sheets and pillowcases?

We liked the location and overall space. Our main issue - linens and bedding. We were assured the sofa bed would have linens. It didn’t. And we discovered that the bunk room beds had no sheets - but didn’t have time to call because our grandkids never told us and they were with us 3 days. We were embarrassed. Why rely on tenants calling? Can’t your maintenance people notify the owner when they’re cleaning on Saturday? By the way, we sent an email to the owner about this. Crickets.

The balcony and views were priceless, and the pool and hot tub came in even more useful than we had thought since we were there during a cold snap. Hot tub is actually a real hot tub and not just a warm pool. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make our Thanksgiving dinner. The only complaint/suggestion for change we had was that the rooms could use some blackout curtains because it’s hard for small kids/infants to sleep with just shears or blinds.
