About this condo rental

Situated in Indian Shores, this charming condo for $444 per night is a great option for your next break. LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT CONDO? This has everything! Sit on the 4 season balcony that can be enclosed, screened, or open and watch dolphins, manatees, pelicans, and boats. Amazing huge sunrises while you have your coffee. Everyone can spread out and relax. The king room is at the end of the hall with an ensuite. The queen is separated by a bathroom and closet, so you have privacy. Upstairs in the loft is a landing area, then a bedroom with a bunk set and a queen bed. If you want to, you can add the 3rd bathroom up there for the cost of cleaning, linens, toiletries for $75 for the stay. This bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet. The ceiling does slant so not suitable for those over 6' tall. Everyone sleeps well on the comfy beds as per the reviews. When you are ready to be more active, walk steps to the beach just across the two-lane road. Your beach cart can be loaded with all provided accessories: cooler, umbrella, boogie boards, toys, chairs for a fun day at the beach. Maybe you would rather fish from the dock. A 35lb tarpon was recently caught, but I can't guarantee, ha ha. The location is great! Walk a block to Crabby's, a waterside restaurant or a couple blocks for miniature golf. Many other restaurants are within blocks. A trolley can take you to Clearwater Beach or all the way to St Pete Beach. Everyone gets a break in this condo. Spread out in this 1900 sq ft condo with loft. Lots of room for kids to play upstairs or for you to get away and work at the desk/printer station in the king bedroom (or move it to the loft - portable collapsible desk. Look down at the water while you work and the kids are in the bunk area behind the door). High speed internet, ethernet, allow you to zoom meet. Home schooling? The kids can work upstairs in the loft landing or at the island or kitchen table while you work in the very back. Balance work and play as you see fit. The balcony furniture has been updated so it looks like the first two pictures, not the later ones as seen from living quarters. Also, the stairs are now updated and safer. Will get new professional pics soon. There is so much to do without even leaving the property. Dock, kayak ramp (you can rent kayaks and paddle boards a couple blocks away), heated pool, hangout area by the water with grill, TV, tables and chairs. Fishing is great! Can't promise but check out the pics! Upgraded cable with all HBO channels, Showtime, Tennis, Golf channel, NFL network, NICK Jr, BBC world news, NBA TV After a day at the beach, luxuriate in a comfy king or queen bed with freshly washed duvets (not spreads that aren't washed between guests). Enjoy great meals with a selection of spices and kitchenware to prepare meals to remember. BRING YOUR JET SKIS or paddle boards or rent them a block away. This condo has a ramp and a beach on the Intracoastal. The dock extends far out at the narrows so you can do some great fishing and the dolphins come right up. Walk a few steps across the street to the beach. Use the provided beach cart, beach toys, cooler, umbrella and chairs (downstairs storage unit) to have a great day at the beach. This small complex has a heated pool that you will be able to enjoy to yourself many times. In addition, under the balcony of building A next to you is a great hangout by the water, with a grill, TV, and tables and chairs. Relax and have cocktails as the sun goes down! You can comfortably sit and have coffee or cocktails right out on the water with the seating area on the extended dock. Like to fish? Here is what a guest wrote: "The fishing was fantastic. I caught four redfish, tons of mangrove snapper, and I hooked and lost a tarpon. Also saw a 6 foot bull shark at the end of the dock." Of course, I can't guarantee YOU will have the same luck LOL 10 REASONS WHY THIS PROPERTY EXCELS - compare for yourself 1. fresh clean duvet covers for every guest on kind and queen beds. 2. Four bed pillows on king and downstairs queen bed with variety of firmness and style. 3. beach ACCESS is steps down and across the street - no long walk down the road 4. balcony has glass sliders that can be closed for all weather dolphin and boat watching, screened, or open for gulf breezes 5. beach towels and beach equipment provided 6. spices and fully equipped kitchen 7. private sandy beach (not suitable for swimming) on the intracoastal with a ramp for jet ski, paddle board, or boat. 8. direct waterfront with no foliage blocking your view (look closely at other property pics) 9. outdoor gathering area with grill and tables right on the water and a place to sit way out in the water on the dock 10. walk to restaurants This condo is not suitable for children under 7. Cathedral ceilings and lots of windows make this a bright, open space. Water view is from the kitchen as well, which is open to the living area. There is a breakfast bar with stools. The bedrooms are outfitted in Tommy Bahama style furniture and comfortable beds with a king in the primary bedroom and a queen bedroom . They have flat screen tv’s. There is a portable desk and a printer in the primary bedroom in case you need to do some work while you are there. A staircase leads to the loft. Tweens and teens have their own area above the living area where you can keep an eye but they can keep their mess and noise upstairs! A landing provides an area to hang out with a tv and play games. Games and books are provided. The third bathrooom up in the queen/bunk room loft area is optional for $75 per stay. please let me know if you want it when you are booking. There is a 5 night minimum. During high season those 5 nights must fall somewhere between a Saturday and a Saturday. The condo is up two easy flights of outside stairs that are covered so you can walk from the two-car tandem parking under the condo and up the covered stairs in case it should rain. The unit parks two cars back to back. A washer dryer is handy in the main area by the kitchen. Many other amenities are provided, including beach towels, keurig, drip coffee pot, blender, waffle iron, juicer, crockpot and more. Keep in mind that you are on the 3rd floor in the Florida sun. During the heat of the day, even with this new 5 ton HVAC, the temps will not usually cool below 74 during the heat of the afternoon. However, with the high ceilings it is not an issue for almost everyone. Upon arrival when you are going in and out unloading, it can get up to 75 and take a while to cool down. Mornings and night times you should be able to have the temps as low as 67. This is typical for everywhere I have lived in FL condos. If this is an issue, reconsider the property and think of a hotel perhaps. Indian Shores is a non-high rise, old Florida family-friendly little town near bigger towns that provide anything you could want. The water is clean and the beaches are lovely! Dolphin Dreams is a second home for us but since we travel for work we can’t always get there. We are happy to share it with your family. Since I travel so much and stay in VRBO properties whenever possible, I know how important it is to have what you need and for things to be convenient. You want it to feel like home but yet also to feel like you are somewhere special – and you are! My goal is to help you make memories for a lifetime! Hope you will share your photos and experiences with me and have the best vacation ever!

We had the best stay at Janet’s place. The condo has a lot of space and everything you could possibly need to get your vacation started on the right foot. She goes above and beyond to be sure your vacation is stress free. It was so nice to see the water from the balcony and then walk right across the street to the most beautiful beach. The pool was clean and never crowded. There are restaurants and ice cream within walking distance. We spent a day at John’s pass, which is only a 15 minute drive away. We would definitely return for a visit.

First off Janet is an amazing host. She was there from beginning to end. She was great to answer any questions we had and help in all ways. As for the condo it was love at first sight. Everything was perfect. From all kitchen fully equipped to bedrooms and bath. Loved it outdoor balcony the most. Saw dolphins everyday and most days several times a day. Sunrises from balcony were awesome, sunsets on the beach right across street was amazing. Loved the convenience of how close the beach was to the condo. We also loved the beach towels and sunscreen given, as well as all the beach equipment furnished by Janet. Everything she says in her description of condo and area is correct. It is a beautiful condo and lovely area. Our whole family agreed we would definitely book again. The grills were great to have and the dock was perfect for just enjoying the bay. Janet you are the best and the whole Cotton family and Purvis clan give you ten stars for sharing your beautiful home with us. Pur vacation was perfect. Definitely need a repeat. Loved it all.

My family spent 6 days in Janet's condo and had a fantastic time. Check in and check out were super easy, and Janet was even able to allow us to check in early and out late. This condo is HUGE. Seriously, three full bathrooms, three giant bedrooms, plus a set of bunkbeds for the kids. Beach access across the street was quick to catch a swim or the sunset. Restaurants within walking distance, and LuLu's ice cream down the block. So great. Nice and quiet at night. Dolphins down by the dock, easily seen from the balcony, which was great to relax on at the end of the day with a few cocktails. As an owner, Janet was very attentive to all of our questions and needs. She even left some activities for the kids on the counter. Are there rules? Yes. Like every other vrbo rental. Janet treated us like guests in her home, and in return we followed the house rules. She provided dang near everything we needed except food and beer, and her budget probably can't handle my vacation beer consumption anyway. TLDR - awesome property and owner. Awesome location.

We have stayed in several VRBO properties and have always given a great review…until now. The owner sends the Rental Agreement right after booking, which states max occupancy of 8 people. Fair enough, we only had our family of five staying there. The very intense and controlling Rental Rules are not received until a little over 30 days prior to occupancy. You can cancel 30 days prior for a full refund, but there was nothing left suitable during the busy spring break season. We were traveling with another family staying a couple of buildings down and couldn’t even have them over for dinner or to just meet up before dinner out. Two pre-teens from the other family came into the condo to use the restroom, the owner called immediately after she saw them on the cameras asking them to leave. It is unnerving to be watched on cameras, there’s notes all over the condo advising what not to do. The condo was clean and decorated nicely, but we felt uncomfortable under strict rules and surveillance, we spent most of our time away. We had a great vacation outside of the condo and are not complainers. If you are traveling alone, this may work out just fine. If you have friends and family also in the area, this will be difficult. We open our home to friends and family often, so this was very uncomfortable for us. Also, only two bath towels in each bathroom, so be prepared to do laundry daily. Other than that, the condo is well stocked with amazing views.

Everything about our stay in Indian Shores was excellent. Condo was perfect size for us for our family of 5, and could have fit a couple more, but preferred the extra space. Very well stocked and clean. The weather was nice a couple of days and just OK for a couple, but the pool was a life saver. The kids played in the pool regardless of how nice out it was. Water was perfect temp! Nice people everywhere we went and a very relaxed vibe to the town. Short walk to Caddys one direction, and LuLu's for ice cream the other. Beach is directly across the street and super easy to head over during the day, but head back for the sun set. Communication with Janet was great and she answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Thank you, Janet, for sharing your 2nd home with us!

We had such a wonderful time at this property! The condo is great for larger groups, having three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Janet, the owner, tries to have everything you could possibly need in the house when you arrive…from soaps, coffee, teas , spices, beach towels, lotions, shampoos! She is a very attentive and caring owner, and contact with her was easy and a pleasure. The decor in the condo reflects her love for this property. It doesn’t get any better than having morning coffee on the beautiful screened porch overlooking the water, and watching the dolphins frolic right in front of you. This property consisting of just 16 units is truly the best…fishing and relaxing on the back dock or walking two minutes to the beach in the front of the property…you will not want to leave. Be aware that the second floor units do have 32 steps to the entrance…but was a great way for us to get our steps in every day. Thank You, Janet.

Couldn't have been more perfect. Perfect location to the beach (right across the street) and right on the water of the Intercoastal. Great view, great dock and great condo with new amenities. We'd be back in a heartbeat.
