Loved the area and this condo. Had a great time.

Nice condo. Good location. Very well laid out, close to pool/beach. Main drawback was family room furniture and lack of decent patio furniture (comfortable). The condo sleeps 6 but the furniture in the family room is extremely uncomfortable and no way can seat 6.

The condo was beautiful and clean. The building was nice and friendly, we used the pool and hot tub quite and bit and it was never crowded. We loved Indian Shores and this condo in particular. Great view off the balcony and we saw dolphins a few times. Easy walk to the beach!

Beautiful location with daily sunrise over the intracoastal. White-sand beach an easy walk across the street. Huge deck with plenty of shade, saltwater pool and hot tub complete the experience.

This property is new to the guest market, so we hope that further improvements will continue to be made. The building is extremely nice, well maintained and quiet. There is a friendly mix of property owners and renters. The location is terrific, and we felt like we were living in a postcard! The salt water pool is perfect and location is convenient to the beach and, restaurants, etc. Our concern was with two key areas: the unit was new and staged to look beautiful, but had not yet been lived in to consider practical needs and furnishings. The property managers were responsive to the best of their ability, but it seemed the owner was not interested in making further investment in furnishings and improvements. The unit is sold as three bedroom, but there is outside security lighting by the elevator and this unit that is extremely bright all night. The blinds provided in those rooms were stuck in the closed position and facing the wrong way, allowing light into one of the guest rooms especially. We urged them to add some room darkening drapes and worked to engineer solutions ourselves, including flipping the shade slats by hand ourselves. Hopefully, the owner will see to finding more permanent solutions to make all three rooms more accommodating to guests. We requestied more kitchen supplies, utensils and the cookware was old and greasy. We found the kitchen sink also soiled and greasy and less than thoroughly cleaned on arrival, which we reported to management and dealt with ourselves. We were expected to buy our own toilet paper and supplies, unlike any other properties we have rented before, which seemed to further emphasize a lack of investment regardless of the cost of this Level of property. It is a very high quality residence, and we would recommend this building to others, but hope this new owner/ renter gets more up to speed on how to service and furnish a unit and provide a level of hospitality and comfort that is congruent with this level of rental.
