Sol-Sister - Private Beach Getaway Overlooking The Gulf

***Click on the video icon above to see a video tour of the property!!!***

Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore and enjoying your morning coffee on the covered balcony as the dolphin swim by. Create your own private cabana on the sugar sand beach with our comfy beach chairs and umbrellas. At the end of the day, wind down with your favorite cocktail as you watch the sun dip below the horizon from your own private rooftop terrace…its 5 o’clock somewhere...

*** UPDATE ***
We are pleased to announce that our condo had no damage from the 2024 hurricane season. We look forward to hosting you!

Come enjoy all the beach has to offer with all of the comforts of home and more. Amenities include:

• Breathtaking gulf front views from three balconies
• Extra large private sundeck with chaise lounges
• Private roof-top terrace for watching amazing sunsets
• 18 foot vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and hardwood floors
• Upgraded kitchen with brand new appliances
• Beach chic motif with updated furniture and vintage beach art
• No check in/out process! Keyless entry to our unit

Sunplace is located within Indian Shores, a charming, laid back, family-friendly community located on a pristine beach. Walk to one of the nearby restaurants, rent beach cruisers to go exploring, hop on the trolly to one of the neighboring beach towns, or take a short ride into St. Pete and go shopping on Beach Drive. We are centrally located between St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa. Universal, Disney World, Epcot, Hard Rock Casino, and Bush Gardens are just a short drive away.

The rental includes everything you need for a great vacation, including towels, linens, beach gear…even sand toys for the kids. Come relax, reflect, and recharge! We will take care of the rest.

Please note this small building does not have an elevator and the condo is located on the 2nd floor.

Sincerely,

The Donoghue Family

We loved the accommodations and the direct beach access. Wonderful beach, great views. Wish we had known that pets were not allowed on the beach as that kind of cramped our style a bit. A grill on the property would be a fantastic addition.I would definitely recommend to friends!

The pictures on VRBO are not accurate! Bugs and mold, spiral staircase was a little rickety. We did not spend one night.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug, 2025
Sherri- I am sorry you were not happy with your stay. I am not surprised that you left a negative review. You threatened to do just that when we wouldn't refund your stay because you didn't like that we didn't have a pool. My wife personally called you the day of your check-in to ensure everything was to your liking, but you never responded to our call. Now you are making these claims, which contradict the over 150 five-star reviews we have in our nearly 10 years of hosting. We take great pride in the condition of the building, our unit, and our hospitality. I wish you the best of luck in finding a property that meets your expectations.

Great place!

We stayed for 2 weeks, amazing views, quiet, clean and everything you’d need. Wonderful sitting on the balconies each night watching the sunset. Management was great, very prompt if I had any questions. Highly recommend this place. Also Crabby Bill’s all you can eat crab legs on Wednesdays is def worth it. Guppy’s is so good as well.

Family Getaway

The owners were the best. They were always there for me when I had questions. The view is the best. The beach was not crowded at all at this time of year in April., 2025. There were 5 of us. If you want steps to the beach and umbrellas and chairs and sand toys.it’s all there.

About the host

Hosted by Sean Donoghue

Host profile image
My wife is from California and I am from Michigan. We met on a random road down the Pacific Coast Highway and the rest they say is history. We live in Tampa (just a short drive away) and are the proud parents of Finn who keeps us pretty busy.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I have always felt connected to the water and after Finn was born we found ourselves the beach constantly. I had been coming to Indian Shores since I moved down in 1998 and fell in love with the laid back family atmosphere it had to offer. So after searching for nearly two years...we found Sunplace. We fell in love instantly and knew this is where we wanted to make our family memories together. Since our schedules never let us use it as much as we like...we wanted to share it with others...to let our guests get a better understanding of why we think this is one of the best places on earth! Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

A large majority of the gulf front condos are cookie cutter - two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a small balcony located in a huge building. We wanted to buy a property that had character and was welcoming to our family and friends. We believe this property is one of the most unique on the beach - offering a tremendous amount of privacy with all the modern conveniences. But don't take our word for it...come see for yourself!
