Sunny Indian Shores Condo w/ Balcony & Views!

Reviews

• We made it work and enjoyed Indian Shores

  3/5

  Pros: Beach/pool items to use. Manager did respond in a timely manner. Kitchen had most items needed though having a cookie sheet(s) would have been helpful. Two options for coffee (Keurig). Seen dolphins out our balcony which has a nice view of the bay. Swimming pool. Cons: With children pulling a beach wagon, crossing the parking lot, and 2 lane st it took at most 5 mins. walking to get to the ocean. Elevator on our side was broken for 7 day stay resulting in us having to use the north elevator or take stairs to the 3rd flr. Shared washer/dryers on the 4th flr with each costing 1.75-2.25 per/load. Had to pay 2x before our clothes were dry. Multiple dryers took our quarters. At check-in we found a crumpled Kleenex on the floor in the 2nd BR. A charging dock was plugged into an outlet and on one of the beds. The 2nd BA shower curtain was orange rather than the white it was suppose to be. A throw blanket in the LR had a large, crusty yellow stain on it. Notified the manager and she asked us to notify evolve. Owners offered to refund us our stay, however, we had a lengthy drive and this was not realistic for us. The 2nd BR has a TV though we couldn't get it to work. The TV in the master BR was usually preparing itself more than playing. No starter garbage bags as implied. Lists a tub/shower combo--this unit has 2 walk-in showers. Front door was difficult to open/close but manageable. As a family who travels would rate 3-4 stars. We would not stay here aga

  This condo is great! Is is newly remodeled, well stocked, very clean, and has comfortable beds. The location was great, it has a nice inter coastal view while only being a short walk to the beach. Couple doors down from the Salt Rock Grill, which is my favorite restaurant.

  Condo has a nice pool, hot tub, saunas, tennis and pickle ball courts. We met several owners and they were all super friendly and welcoming.

  I would highly recommend this condo. Owners were great and made sure we had everything for our stay.

• Needs updating, but nice

  4/5

  Nice location right across the street from beach access. The condo wasn't cleaned when we arrived, but the communication with the owner was top notch! We explained the sheets and bedding were dirty, so the owner allowed us to purchase new sheets and bedding and had a reimbursement check in the mail by the time we arrived home from our vacation! The king sized bed is definitely due to be replaced as it offered zero back support and hurt our backs the first night, so my wife and I slept in the queen bed the rest of the stay, which was much better. The sectional had one corner that had no support and the bathroooms and kitchen needed updating as well, but it was adequate for what we needed, but at the same token a bit of a disappointment given the price we paid. They did have some beach chairs and boards for the kids to use in the ocean and they also have a wagon for easy transport to and from the beach.The outside pool was nice and they have 2 propane grills available to cook out which was convenient. Also, there were 4 tennis courts available anytime to play. There is access to several restaurants nearby, but you definitely want a rental car to explore the area and grab any supplies you may need. This is in-between Clearwater and St. Pete Beach so it's away from most of the traffic and congestion but yet you can reach either with only a 10 minute drive in either direction.The owner did tell us that we were one of the last people to stay there before they do a full rehab this summer, so hopefully they get their renovations done in time for next year! We would love to come back!

  The condo was convent located, easily accessed & well supplied with everything I needed. Beaches here are fabulous & not too crowded. Towels, chairs, pool noodles, TVs…they have it all! Just bring your flip flops & sunscreen. Parking easy & building has elevator. Owner very responsive to any questions. Great visit!
