đđSPRING Specials minivans at airports to use
My condo is a direct ocean front with no obstructions and is located on the sixth floor. I also own and fully insured with minivans stationed at airports for your convenience. They are an extra cost but I can usually beat competition buy 50%. We also own two other condos next door they are VRBO # 786204 or1462091 or 2813590 Recent upgrades have included brand new living room furniture, all new flat screen tv's, patio furniture, full bed in 3rd bedroom with Sterns and Foster mattress, and all new stainless steel appliances. Just received new paint throughout the entire condo. The master bedroom has its own 45 inch flat screen tv along with sliding glass doors that walk out to a balcony overlooking the ocean. This condo is not your typical rental accommodation. I also own two other condos next door that are totally remodeled in Sandcastle two and sandcastle three {sandcastle two is VRBO # 786204 or sandcastle three VRBO # 1462091 }. We provide high quality linens along with a fully stocked kitchen. As an added benefit, we provide items that most rentals make you bring or rent. Also, The Pub Restaurant is located directly across the street which offers a full service menu, and a bar with deck out back on the intercoastal to watch boats and dolphins. These condos are both located within walking distance to local eateries. The nearest airport is located 9 miles away which is Clearwater/St. Petersburg (PIE). Tampa airport is located 25 miles from the condos. Bush Gardens Amusement Park is located less than 45 minutes away. Disney and Universal Studios are located 1 hour and 20 minutes away. John's Pass is less than 10 minutes away which offers a boardwalk of shops, restaurants, deep sea fishing along with many other family activites. Staying in one of my condos will truly be a memorable experience. We rent Saturday to Saturday only and no pets are allowed in this particular condo, but I do own one that does except pets. Also service dogs are welcome in this condo because it is federal law. My wife and I truly believe our guests work really hard in order to come on vacation so we do our best in order to make it the most memorable experience that you can have. Thank you

Easy location right on the beach
Easy location in Indian Shores right on the beach. Great to be able to walk out to the beach for a bit, then come back in when we want, instead of having to make a full day of it. The pool was heated (threat for the iffy Spring Break weather!). Caddy's across the street is back open now, so that's great too!

Nice area Inaccurate listing
The area was nice however the listing wasn't accurate and the condo complex wasnt cleanest. We had encountered issues with cleaniness inside the condo and outside in the complex. The property over all needs major maintenance and a thorough cleaning. To note the AC isn't controlled in the unit it is controlled by the company itself and will go to 15 degrees lower then the outside, which is an issue when it's 98 degrees outside. We also had an issue with a broken dish washer but was replaced however it was replaced the day before check out.

Family Vacation
Location was great, There is a large balcony with a table and several chairs. You can sit there in the shade, read a book, drink your coffee. There are several restaurants nearby, we tried Keegans for seafood that was excellent. LuLu's for icecream. There are several other beaches nearby but we mostly stayed here as it was not crowded. Would come again

Great time
Although the property is older, it is well maintained. The space was clean upon our arrival. We stayed with our two small children and my Sister and her Husband with their two small children. We had plenty of space and the property overall was very quite. This section of the beach is less crowded than Clearwater. They monitor parking aggressively, so ensure you put the parking pass on your vehicle as soon as you get there.

Nice view. Needs a lot of maintenance
Views are wonderful. Unit is nicely furnished. But it wasnât cleanâŚ. Floors were awful. Phillip sent someone to clean the floors and it was better but it needs more than an hour or two to really get it clean. Lots of maintenance items to fix (sink faucet would not turn off, slider lock was broken, cabinet door would not stay shut just to name a few. We gave Phillip a list and he said he would fix them. We enjoyed our family time but will not return. Phillip tried to help but he canât remotely fix a property that isnât being maintained. Itâs not just his unit. I talked to a number of people at the complex that were having the same experienceâŚ. Dirty floors. Numerous maintenance issues. Overall the complex is a sub standard rental. I have been renting units for a family week tge last 25 years and this was hands down the worst. I trust Phillip will work hard to rectify the issues!

Can't beat the view/beach
We had a lovely time at this property and the owner was extremely accomodating for all questions/requests including providing a pack n play and highchair for our arrival. Check in/out was a breeze. Property grounds were very clean and the beach was amazing. Washer/dryer in unit was excellent for a beach vacation. We loved meals on the balcony, super short walk to the beach and the 3 bedrooms were ideal for our family. We loved the short drive north to Clearwater and south to neighboring towns. Thank you, Philip, for a wonderful vacation week!
