We have been vacationing in Indian Shores for over 25 years. This unit is by far the nicest unit we have stayed in. It is immaculate in cleanliness, updated and well stocked. The owner was amazing to work with. We have already booked for 2025 and can't wait to go back!

If you’re staying in the Indian Rocks area, look no further. This condo is perfect, it has everything you could possibly need. From kitchen supplies to chairs and all sorts of things for the beach. The owners are great and so helpful. We could not have enjoyed our stay more.

If you’re looking for a quieter, more relaxed version of Clear Water than this is the place. My family loved the beautiful beach and pool and the unit was very well equipped for all of our needs and our 4 children. The beach is steps away from the building and has white sand with clear water. My family and I were able to see dolphins swimming in the ocean from our balcony window. It is very close to grocery stores and only a 20 minute drive to Clear Water beach as well. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

The property was just as described in the listing and more. This condo was stocked with plenty of toiletry items. We brought extra from home and didn’t need to use them at all. The area was great as well. I would definitely rent this condo again in the future.

Everything was GREAT except the ice maker hardly worked so we had to buy ice daily for our coolers and the condo is warm. At night we were all uncomfortable sleeping because it was too warm for us. The view is PERFECT. The location is PERFECT. The beach access is PERFECT. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the things. It's super clean and the host adds a personal touch that we all loved!! We would stay here again for sure!!

Stayed with my Mom, daughter-in-law from NH and two young grandsons. It was glorious to get them out of the cold and into the sunshine of Florida. We loved the quiet, family friendly beach and even saw dolphins from the balcony where we had coffee every morning. The condo was the best stocked VRBO I have stayed in and the host was very responsive. We are already talking about "the next time". The decor was refreshing and up to date and there were so many things to do that we only got to about half of our list. Definitely felt safe and so did the young ones. They enjoyed the beach and the nice big table for cards and games. All in all, it was wonderful. Easy in and out access with the door code and we were right by the elevator which was nice. Plenty of beach toys were supplied. Would definitely stay here again.

This property is just what we asked for. The unit is undated:
appliances, furniture, beds, etc. The owners made us feel like family. The view is spectacular. The gulf and pool were great for swimming, and relaxing. Other guests were friendly, all children were well behaved. Hot tub was an added plus. We will go back and stay again.

Very nice and quiet. I cannot think of one negative thing to say. We enjoyed it very much. I loved the keyless entry. Not having to bother with a key was wonderful. Put that in description! It was well equipped with everything. Thanks Jill

Condo was beautiful!!
Marie and Don are great to work with, we had open communication from the time I requested to book their home. They even checked on us while we were there. The condo is as beautiful as pictured on VRBO and we enjoyed our stay. Everything you need to have is there, which adds to the stress free living during a vacation. Thanks to Marie and Don for opening up there home. We will definitely stay there again in the future!

Relaxing beach views
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Well stocked kitchen and quite a bit of beach gear. We used the grill downstairs every day. The view of the sunset was fabulous and being right on the beach was perfect! Would highly recommend this unit. The building is older outside but this unit was nicely updated.

Perfect beach condo
The condo was very clean, beautifully decorated and had plenty of room for our family of 5. From morning coffee to watching the sunset, the gulf view from the balcony was great. The condo has everything (inside and out) that you need to enjoy your beach vacation. Wonderful communication with Marie from start to finish.

Truly All-Inclusive!
We absolutely loved our stay at Don and Marie's condo - it truly felt like we were at the home of old college friends. Everything I brought from home (beach bag, first aid kit, extra toiletries, etc) we didn't even need! The place is fully stocked, even down to the champagne/prosecco flutes, which we definitely used, ha! And all the guests leave their goodies behind, so there's a community stash of condiments, seasonings, sandwich bags, body wash, sunscreen, aloe gel, you name it. The unit is beautifully decorated, and the balcony is huge. One of the rainy/cloudy days we didn't even leave the building, just sat on the balcony and enjoyed the view. Check-in was a breeze, and there is open and constant communication. We highly recommend, and hope to get back down that way in the future!

5 star beach condo
This property will not disappoint. Everything about this condo and the accommodation where on point. This unit has everything that you will need for a great beach vacation “just add your family”. My only regret is that we really needed an additional week ! It was over way too soon. We give it 5 stars and will stay here again.

Right on the beach
You really cannot ask for anything more in a rental condo. It is steps for the beach with a balcony that looks out over the ocean and prefect for sunset views every night. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were updated, the kitchen had everything you need for meal preps and the pool was sparkling with plenty of chairs. The condo community was very friendly. We had a couple questions for the owners and receive quick replies.
We had not been to Indian Rock Beach before so did not know what the area was like. It is not a walkable community. There are not sidewalks in most areas. There are many very wonderful restaurants but transportation is needed to get to them. We did not rent a car but Uber'ed everywhere. The wait times for the Uber were minimal.

Thank you for a wonderful week!
