We had such a great stay. Everything was so clean and looked perfect when we arrived. The view of the Bay Area from the balcony was amazing, especially in the morning as the sun was rising. The beach access was either a 5 min walk to the left or 5 min walk to the right. They also provided chairs & an umbrella which is awesome when you fly and can’t bring those things. Darryl responded very quickly with any questions I had and the check in and check out process was a breeze. 10/10 recommend staying here!!

We absolutely love staying in this complex and especially Darryl’s condo. It’s everything we need for an extended stay. The fishing dock is convenient and the pool is hardly ever busy. The view is spectacular from the balcony and master bedroom. We are looking forward to our return trip next year. Thanks Darryl!

I booked this condo specifically because I had a great stay last year. It worked great! This time I appreciated all the amenities even more: quiet spot, great views from the balcony, long walks along the beach. Communications with the manager was outstanding: he is prompt and always eager to help. I'd highly recommend this property for a quiet and relaxing family vacation.

We were visiting our daughter for the holiday. Great location and we loved the balcony overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Also the property manager was very responsive.
We stayed here because of the 5-star rating. We found the condo to be appropriately cleaned by housekeeping. The exception was the outdated decor which does not allow a deep clean, including the clutter and artificial plants, especially in the kitchen and master bedroom.
5.0
This property is across the street from the beach. Bus stop right outside the property.
Many good restaurants and bars nearby.
The condo is well appointed and has everything that you would need for your stay.
I’ll definitely come back again!!!

This was our fifth stay at Gulf Retreat 1 or 2. As always aDarryl and Isobel were there for anything we needed. The views are spectacular and the sense of peace in the balcony and jetty are unbeatable. Already booked for trip number 6 in April

The condo was beautiful and spacious. We brought our 2 adult sons with us and there was plenty of room for them. Our other son and his family were in another unit just a couple doors down so it made it so easy to get together with them. We had a problem with the air conditioner and It was fixed within a couple hours. We felt so welcome by Daryle and Isabelle. I would definitely recommend this place!! It was so clean and so nicely decorated. Loved it !

We have been coming to Gulf Retreat for several years, I've lost count as to how many it has been , and we love it. We enjoy watching the manatee and dolphins in the intercoastal. The condo has everything needed to enjoy your home away from home.

Excellent bay view from living room and master bedroom. Love being in Indian Shores with a top floor view of the bay. Love seeing the bird life, dolphins and boats going by! A great dock at the condo too! The pool is nice but right on the busy street (other places we stayed the pools were on the bay side so a little more relaxing). The condo has everything you could need and plenty of space for a family of five and a food mart next door. Most essentials were provided and parking was a breeze, two spots. The communication was excellent. Thank you Darryl!

Wonderful retreat
It was a wonderful stay for a New England snowbird looking for some warmth in December. The view from balcony is worth the price of admission alone. Wake up to watch the wildlife in the intercostal, relax in the evening by watching the distant lights of IRB. The location is great, everything is within driving distance. Given an opportunity, we'll definitely look to stay at this property in the future.

Another great stay at this property! It’s is our 3rd visit and won’t be our last. Breathtaking views of the intercostal and TONS of wildlife. Everything in the condo is just as advertised if not even better! Darryl and Isabel are so easy to communicate with and make our stay special each time. Can’t wait to be back already.

My wife and I booked this unit for our wedding anniversary and enjoyed every minute of it. Plenty of room for the two of us and an easy walk to the beach. The balcony has a ceiling fan on it, so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the view even when it was hot. The building the unit is in is back away from the road so it is quiet and pleasant when enjoying the view.
The unit was also nice and clean. Having the garage was a nice addition. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, and two umbrellas were provided. We don’t have our own beach stuff, so that was really nice to have. We definitely will be back here if we find ourselves in Indian shores again.
