ABOUT THE BUILDING…

Sandcastle I has some of the most beautiful grounds along the beach, and the management takes great pride in the condition of the common areas. There was a major renovation completed in the past couple of years to the outside & common areas of the building, it shows as new and has a beautiful BEACHFRONT HEATED POOL and LARGE SPA/HOT TUB next to the pool, overlooking the beach. Other amenities include a sauna, lending library, ping pong/recreation area, poolside washrooms & change rooms. For you BBQ lovers, there are two gas BBQ’s on the grounds as well as a charcoal grill - complete with tables to relax & enjoy a beverage while doing your grilling.

ABOUT THE AREA…

Indian Shores is located on a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, between Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and is easily accessible via several major airports, including Tampa (TPA), St. Petersburg (PIE), and Sarasota Bradenton (SRQ). You can also fly into Orlando (MCO) if your plans include Disney, which is less than two hours away (along with Sea World, Universal Studios, Gatorland, and all the other Orlando attractions). In the immediate Tampa Bay area, there are unlimited attractions such as Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, the Florida Aquarium, John’s Pass, the Lowry Park Zoo, just to name a few. Into sports? It’s all here: NFL Football (Buccaneers), Major League Baseball (Devil Rays, as well as well as spring training for many MLB teams including the Yankees, Blue Jays, Phillies & others nearby), NHL hockey (Lightning) and countless golf courses. If boating is your thing, there are rentals available directly across the street on the intercoastal waterway & boat slips are available within walking distance. Shopping? You won’t be disappointed; shopping from high end to factory outlets all within a short drive!

The Suncoast Beach Trolley (stops outside the building) is a convenient way to get around on the beach if you don’t want to drive. If you do drive, there is a covered parking spot assigned to our unit and limited guest parking is also available.

This is a non-smoking unit. Sorry, pets are not allowed in the condo or on the grounds. Sandcastle 1 is a family/adult building. If this does not suit your needs we would respectfully ask that you look elsewhere. Primary renter must be min. 25 years old and must occupy unit - strictly enforced.

The Condo was very accomidating - views were beautiful, space was plentiful. It was pretty well equipped. There were some things that needed upgraded or replaced - pots and pans are not up to par, that made it hard for us due to the fact we cooked 5 meals during our stay. Even with spray and butter everything was sticking. There are also ZERO cleaning products, so I would suggest going to dollar tree for items as such. Other than those 2 those 2 things we really enjoyed our stay. There were dolphins every morning, we even saw a PINK one our 1st morning. The sunsets are gorgeous and the coffee shops are plentiful. Beds were very decent and bathrooms were great. The soaking tub is awesome!!!!! I would stay again - as long as I can cook stickfree ❤️ with 8 kids between 2 condos eating out isn't an option lol The owners are super nice and VERY responsive. That was greatly appreciated! Thank you Ian and Michelle.

This condo had a great view of the ocean! Check in was easy and it was nice to not need a key to get in and out. Air conditioner did not work well so we were not really able to use front bedroom because it was so hot and had to hang a blanket in front of window in other front bedroom to help keep sun out. Overall pleased with our stay

Pleasant Stay with Minor Hiccups: I recently stayed at this condo, and overall, it was a positive experience. The owners were extremely accurate in their description of the unit, which was well-kept and very clean. They were also quick to respond to any questions we had. The property itself had some nice amenities, including a pool, hot tub, and ping pong area. However, during our stay, one of the elevators was out of service, which made going up and down a bit slow. Thankfully, the issue was eventually resolved. As for the beach, it was decent, but there was quite a bit of seaweed both in the water and washed up on shore. If you’re not a fan of seaweed, this might be a minor drawback. The beach is not on the owners of the condo. One unexpected lesson we learned was about parking. Most restaurants and tourist spots lack parking. Public parking required payment for parking, which was different from what we had anticipated. Fortunately, the condo had great parking facilities. In summary, it was a nice trip overall, thanks to the great owners and comfortable accommodations. Just be prepared for parking costs when exploring the area!

Can't beat the views sitting on this condo balcony. Looking at the ocean and palm trees is the best views for me. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub felt amazing after two days on the road. We loved walking across the street for dinner at Caddy's and walked several times to the Indian Shores Trading Company for t-shirts. Amazing treasures are found walking the beach. Our first day there sponges were coming in on the beach. So very cool and interesting!

The condo was perfect for our family. It was clean and just a short walk to beach. The location is great with proximity to so many things you can walk to or short drive. We will be back!
