We have been vacationing in the area for many years and would rate this unit the best so far for many reasons. The unit is spacious and extremely well equipped- from the kitchen to the beach toys. The view and proximity to the beach and pool are amazing. The area is very walkable and has every kind or dining option that you could imagine. Perfect for our family of 5!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in this condo was excellent The weather cooperated as well. The condo was exactly what we had seen online and was very clean upon our arrival. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. The location is excellent as well. Owners Kim and Tom were great. At one point the internet was spotty and I needed it for some work calls. The day I mentioned it Kim went to Spectrum, got a new modem and replaced it and had us up and running the very day I mentioned it to her even though I told her there was no hurry.We would definitely stay here again in the future.Great condo, great location, and great service from the owners

We had a great experience with this condo. We were delayed in arriving and there wasn’t any problems getting entry to the property. Plenty of beach toys and chairs. It was clean and was stocked well enough for a family of 6 with plates and such. The only complaint is I would prefer if there was screen doors on the balcony sliding doors. I love to listen to the waves when I sleep. The property manager was quick to respond to any concerns we had and was very helpful with our delayed arrival. Thank you for the great memories. I would recommend this condo to anyone.

Clean, lacked utensils, towels, beach towels and chairs

The sheets on the king bed very nubby. We went out and purchased our own sheets. Both closet doors were broken

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Sand Castle buildings (there are 3) for 3 years in a row, and we couldn't be happier. The units (especially 404 in bldg III) are clean, comfortable, and best of all, right on the beach. First I'll say that these buildings are from the 80s-90s era, so expect the design and amenities to reflect that period (popcorn ceiling, etc.). But, the building is well maintained, the unit is cozy and is perfect for a week's stay. Best part about this place is its location. Yes, its situated right on the beach, but its located in Indian Shores beach where the beach is private and not packed with millions of tourists. Its also on the main strip (Gulf Blvd) and accessible to so many places. If you're looking for a place on the beach, give Sand Castle a look, you wont be disappointed!

The location of the rental was vey good, although parking was a challenge with roof replacement going on. The building management people were quick to assist with that snafu, and it was much appreciated with very limited parking.

But we had a issue when we first arrived the place was filthy. Diryy floors, fridge, sluding door, toliets. We called first thing Monday morning and Sandy was suppose to get back to us but we never heard from her we told her we cleaned we just expected her to call us back. So we asked for a later check out which they gave us an hour.

Who ever cleans the condo needs to do a better job. The mattresses on all of the beds are absolutely horrible. For what they charge the owners should buy some better mattresses!!! OWNERS...try sleeping on them sometime. The sliding glass door in the living room came off the tracks and we couldn’t get it back on and had to use the one in the master bedroom. Would stay again if they replaced the current mattresses! At check in the ladies were a little “not so nice”, maybe they were having a bad day (I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt).

Our condo was well equipped, location was perfect, and plenty of pool toys provided. I have no complaints! The property was very well-maintained as was the whole building.

The condo furnishings are nice. The condo was clean. No odors or smells. The view was gorgeous. Near restaurants. In facet Caddy’s is right across the street and the food is excellent. The washer and dryer in the condo was very helpful. Florida Lifestyles handled the reservations. Their staff was friendly and professional. The only negative is the sliding glass doors that proved to be a challenge in closing and locking them.

The pool area was right by the beach. We loved it; it opens to a great wide beach. The condo furniture could improve. Pillows were flat. We requested new ones. We got them but the new ones were not comfortable either. The dinning chairs were wobbly (could not use two out of 6). Big patio over looking the ocean. The patio furniture were old and plastic table was stained. The patio doors were hard to open. There were a lot of beach toys and chairs stored in the patio storage room. Overall we enjoyed our visit.

This property has it all, blender, lots of pots and pans, dishes. Even a crock pot.It was very nice and would definitely stay there again. The ice maker in the fridge even worked. Also lots of beach chairs, and things for kids to play at the beach.

My cousins and I have gathered at Indian Shores/Indian Rocks every summer for 45 years! This condo was superb. All furnishings were in great condition and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was so well-appointed and complete; all dishes, cookware, and utensils were far more than adequate! Even the ice maker worked, and that was a first! The balcony even had stacking chairs to ensure we all (7) had seating beyond the usual 4 chairs. Beds could have been softer, but the bedrooms and bathrooms were quite nice. We would stay here SC-III #404 again! The one negative was a large group from Plant City who were loud, mostly drunk, and took over the pool area in the evenings. It was impossible to ignore their noise and foul language even inside our condo, much less on the balcony!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sandcastle III 404 had everything we needed. The king bed was very comfortable and both of my boys did not complain about their beds in either room so I'm assuming they were comfortable as well. Plenty of pillows and a few extra blankets in the closets. Also no need to bring hangers. This condo has plenty of those as well. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled with pots/pans/bowls cooking dishes etc. There are 4 beach chairs, several floats, and many other beach/pool items in the storage closet off balcony. The view is amazing and the sunsets did not disappoint. The linens were all provided. It said beach towels provided but there were only three so you may want to bring a few extra. The washer and dryer were helpful in this respect for sure. The washer and dryer are a bit noisy( but not broken) but we just sat outside and enjoyed the view to avoid the noise. My only suggestion would be a good deep cleaning. The condo itself was clean enough but the tables, furniture were coated in dust. The bathrooms were clean as well but you could tell the tile shower floor around the grout could use a good scrub. That being said, we were quite pleased overall with our time at Sand Castle 404.
The pool and Jacuzzi are a nice amenity but close at dusk. Having vacationed in December, this is by 6:00. Our family would have loved to enjoy the hot tub after dinner. I suspect it's a noise thing as dusk in the summer is much later. My only suggestion would be to have winter hours.

The unit was clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, well equipped, and had an excellent view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable, and the TV in the living room was above average for a rental. We did a lot of cooking and had all we needed (except a garlic press.) The elevator never took very long and getting out to the beach was easy. We enjoyed the laid back, not crowded atmosphere. Ease of reserving, checking in, and checking out were great. We would definitely recommend this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at Sand Castle III for a week's vacation. My husband, our children (ages 11, 13 & 15), and I really enjoyed our stay here. We were looking for a beach and condo that was a little smaller and less crowded than other large, heavily developed beach areas that we have visited in the past. This was the perfect size and location. The pool was kind of small, but it never felt crowded and there were always chairs open for lounging. The beach was so close to the condo so the view was amazing! The unit was very clean and had everything we could need for our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked and every cabinet and drawer was labeled so you knew exactly where things should go. The bedroom closets had extra pillows and blankets as well as lots of hangers for our clothing. My kids really appreciated the fact that there were 4 total tvs and the wifi had a strong signal for all of their devices. We enjoyed the local restaurants, several within walking distance. Most of the light switches were labeled throughout the condo, but it was still a little confusing to figure out how to turn on some of the lights and ceiling fans. A couple of the ceiling fans had to be plugged into a wall outlet in order to work and it took some work by my husband to figure that out. I realize that electrical wiring can be challenging in buildings such as this. Once we got air circulating throughout the condo it was quite comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
