Awesome!!!

The description of this vacation unit and location is completely accurate but does not do it justice!! Perfect location for beach and variety of nearby activities, short distance from cities. Well-maintained property and unit close to elevator with numbered and covered parking. Gorgeous decor, fabulous well-equipped kitchen, huge balcony overlooking pool, hot tub, and beach, sleeps eight in three bedrooms. Reasonably priced. Owner is very accommodating and responsive to communication. The only issue was cable TV not functioning, which is being addressed. Love it!!!

This condo was perfect and exactly what we were looking for! The location cannot be beat and having the ocean right out the back was ideal. Phil was incredible to work with and very responsive, even having beach blankets sent to the condo when I asked if he had any. We will definitely be back! Thank you so very much!!

Excellent condo, excellent owner!

The place was beautiful, owner was in contact with us via text if we needed anything, and we had a beautiful vacation! The condo complex is 100% families, some of those we met were multi generation family trips, others were families with children who preferred staying in a condo. The condo was well stocked and in extremely great shape! The cleaning people do a fabulous job getting the condo ready for each incoming family. Thank you!

Our Beach vacation

We absolutely loved every minute of our vacation in this condo. From having a parking spot in the garage, using the shopping cart to take luggage in the elevators, to the moment we walked in the condo and saw the views of the ocean is just breathtaking. From walking out on the balcony overlooking the pool and beach is just wonderful. We had everything we needed to cook with and the barbecue grills were very clean and easy to use and loved having the umbrellas over the grill area to give us shade while grilling. The beach was never too crowded and we never worried about our stuff on the beach while we were in the water. The outdoor shower stations when you come back from the beach was really nice and clean. The pool never really got too crowded and the hot tub was nice too. The condo had plenty of room for all 5 of us. We have been coming to Indian Shores since 2014 and absolutely love this area and we’ve always felt safe and never had any problems with it being too crowded. We will definitely be staying at this location again. I can’t say it enough about how wonderful this place is.

Fabulous

Once again we had a fabulous time here at Sand Castle! Phil was great at helping us out on anything we needed. We found even more wonderful restaurants and fun things to do in the general area. Also we used the hot tub a lot more this year. This unit is the most well appointed of any that we have visited. Cannot recommend it enough!! We are already reserved for next year 🌅.

Good for families but..

If you are staying with children this is the place for you, if you are older adults looking for relaxation this place is not it. The condo was neat and clean, tv was difficult to use, the toilets filled very slowly, but the showers had good pressure. Since the condo is located right above the pool on the second floor its very noisy and loud and overrun by kids jumping in and out of the pool and hottub until all hours of the night, there was no order and they didnt follow the rules. The beach was nice and close we rented the loungers and umbrella ,well worth the money. Leaving the condo we were given instructions on washing towels,sheets and dishwasher something the cleaning service should do. Renting the van was a total hastle, constant texting, too many instructions and expectations. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra few bucks and rent a car at the airport.
