We loved our stay - everything was as expected and we appreciated the basic supplies being there.
A king bed in the back would be lovely.

This condo was more spacious than I expected, it was nice to put the kids to bed and still have some room and privacy. The location was great, although I would mention that they are doing beach restoration now and the access across the road will be closed for a few months (as of late December 2023). If you are not from the area, there is lots of traffic. Leave earlier than you think you need to going to Tampa or theme parks or anything else not within 15-20 miles. I felt the area was quieter and seemed less crowded than the nearby Clearwater area and other parts of St. Petersburg. This property was good for us. This space was comfortable, convenient, and functional. Thank you Ed and Sharon!

We had two very nice parking places when we arrived. Two short flights of stairs to the door. The condo has everything you need. They had plenty of paper products for the bathrooms . Plenty towels , beach towels . The kitchen was well stocked with anything you need. You just need to supply the food . They have two coffee pots one for regular coffee and one for k cups . The couches and chairs all comfortable. The tv had more Chanel’s than you need. The bedrooms were spacious. The beds I’ll be honest I like a firm mattress and it was a little to soft for me and we have a king at home the bed in the master is a queen . The tub in the bathroom is a bit of a challenge if your taking a shower . Hard to get in and out of . But we managed . They do have a regular tub shower in the other bathroom a little easier . But it wouldn’t keep me from going back because it was such a great location and view . The dock was just completely replaced and they did a wonderful job on it. Great place to sit and watch the sun come up or have a glass of wine at night. We did see some dolphins in the morning. The pool was very nice but to cold to swim for me. But our other family members enjoyed it and the beach three minute walk across the street. Restaurant two minutes down the street walking and Lu Lu’s ice cream and store three minutes in the other direction also walking . Ed and Sharon are very pleasant and easy to communicate with . It was just a wonderful stay can’t wait to do it again.

Another wonderful week in Indian Shores! Condo was perfect for our group. Master bed was comfortable and room was spacious. The view of the deck was peaceful and we saw Dolphins, Manatees and lots of different birds on a regular bases. The hosts were easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Hopefully we will make it back in the future!

We really enjoyed our time at the condo. It's a very large space and worked really well for our family, having two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The location was excellent. With water views out the back (including beautiful sunrises!) and steps from the beach. The beach is spectacular... soft white sand, not too busy, perfect waves and amazing sunsets! We went swimming almost every evening for the sunsets and I highly recommend.
The pool is also great, and was a good place to swim in the early evening.
Only thing that was a tiny bit disappointing was the beach equipment. There was no umbrella to use (we had brought our own based on a previous review) and the beach chairs didn't seem useable (so we ended up buying our own).
Other than that, it was a great trip and we would certainly return!

This property was great as for location, cleanliness and accommodation to surrounding activities. We enjoyed the beach just across the street and the pool on the property. We grilled with the gas grill one evening and had dinner on the balcony over looking the intercoastal water way which was beautiful. We took a trip to Bush Gardens in Tampa one day which was just under an hour drive with traffic.
The property provided great smart tv options that we enjoyed nightly as a family. The microwave did not work to our surprise but with the supplies provided in the kitchen all went extremely well. My wife liked "The Rock Starlite" cookware so much that we came home and ordered some for our kitchen!
Beach chairs and beach umbrella was provided but we only trusted two of the chairs due to their weathered condition and the umbrella was inoperable but thankfully we brought ours!
We absolutely loved this location, beautiful property and clean beaches!
We totally recommend this property and location without any hesitations.

This was our first family trip since Covid. The place was exactly as represented in the photos. Directions and getting into the place was so simple. We loved having access to the dock and being so close to the beach. We appreciated having a fully stocked kitchen for meals and a table larger enough to accommodate our family. Our trip was changed due to airlines and we needed an extra night. This was a nonissue, they were so great to deal with and changed our stay quickly. The views were amazing, we would stay again for sure.

Location, location, location. This was perfect for us. The view on the balcony of the bay was a quiet way to end our day either from the beach or from the day’s activities. This is directly across the street from the beach, literally a 3 minute walk! My family enjoyed walking to several restaurants, coffee house, and bakery. One day was spent going to Busch Gardens, which was just a 45 minute drive. One day was spent traveling through the various beaches south. The description on the web site was spot on! The condo has more than enough room for a larger family/ friends’ retreat. We had four in our group. There are plenty of towels both bath and beach. There were four chairs; one was broken but we brought ours. There is a beach umbrella, but we had brought a canopy do we didn’t utilize it. Overall, the only thing that could be reviewed would be the mattress in the master bedroom and new pillows, but this is minute compared to all the pluses!! We did not utilize the pool, but it was very clean and several others did. I can’t say enough about what a terrific place this is! I called the owners about whether there was a crockpot, and they got back with me right away! We like using them on beach days as to not have to worry about cooking something after a long day. I did take my small one and utilized it several times! Again, you will not go wrong renting this ideal spot! Highly recommended!!

We had a great stay! Condo was spacious and clean. A little dated but the price was very fair. Dock was perfect for fishing and we were able to kayak right off the property. We enjoyed the waterfront deck a lot of the time and saw manatees and dolphins along with the beautiful boats coming and going. Beach was not crowded and literally a 3 minute walk. Easy walk to Caddy’s and Lulu’s for ice cream. Easy drive to mini-golf, stores, John’s Pass and much more. We would stay again!

The condo was equipped with the essentials which was great for us. The pier was great for morning fishing with the kids and watching the sunrise. The walk to the beach was less than 5 mins and easy for even the 5yr old to do. We loved the location and plan to make Indian Shores a regular vacation spot.

Very clean, comfortable, quiet. Well equipped kitchen with modern appliances. Excellent location, close to beach, shops and restaurants. Beds seemed too soft, but that is personal preference. We love the area, have stayed here before, and will return!

Overall, the property is perfectly located near the beach and also looks at the intercoastal water. The beach is very quiet and beautiful. You can spot the dolphins if you are lucky.
Sharon is very responsive to your inquiry.
Our heater was not working properly in the beginning but Sharon was able to help us quickly to restore the heat.
The property amenities are little outdated but work well and are very clean. Our family enjoyed staying at the property!

Cute little basic place, nothing over the top, but everything you need. Loved being bay front & seeing the sun rises each morning while I read & drank my tea. We also loved being the short walk to the beach. We did mange to see dolphins a few times from the balcony as well.

Will be back!!
We had the best time at Sharon and Ed’s condo! Check in process couldn’t have been any easier and is in the perfect location. Bay view was gorgeous from the balcony, but we were still only a 2 minute walk from the beach. I feel like they went above and beyond supplying beach chairs, beach umbrella, and fishing rods. We will be back!!

The location of the condo is absolutely amazing. Some of the furnishings were a little outdated, but my family and I still enjoyed our stay just the same. We did end up having the air conditioning repair man there for the majority of a day installing a new air conditioning unit. All in all it was an enjoyable stay!
