This property is spectacular! I rent VRBO-listed properties 2-3 times a year, on average, and this townhome is my new favorite, hands down. To start, the location is wonderful: beachfront within an intimate grouping of privately-owned, well-maintained townhomes in beautiful Indian Shores. You walk out the first floor deck, go down the stairs and are either at the pool or just steps from a beautiful beach & the Gulf. Out the front door (the other direction) and a brief walk away, you'll find a bustling local coffee shop and also a delicious seafood restaurant (Salt Rock Grill). Numerous other wonderful local eating establishments are a short drive away, as are grocery stores and a Starbucks if you can't do without your daily cup.
But the best part is the interior - wow! So tastefully decorated with an eye toward comfort and a touch of beachfront whimsy. The owners were incredibly thoughtful in the countless conveniences they had on hand for their renters (e.g. fully stocked bathrooms and kitchen, a wonderful supply of high quality bath and beach towels, numerous beach chairs and water toys, charcoal grill with charcoal & lighting fluid supplied, both a traditional and a single-serve coffee maker, etc.). Very useful directions in their renters' instructions on how to use various features of the unit, including pictorial guidance for the TV remotes (much appreciated since we were there during the college Bowl season!). The beds are very comfortable - a real treat. My family members enjoyed that each bedroom had access to its own bathroom, in the way the floorplan is laid out. The master provides privacy in case you need a little quiet time in the midst of your holiday, with its own deck.
The sunsets experienced there are hard to describe - every evening is like a new show. You'll find yourself scheduling that part of your day around being either on the beach or on the deck to drink it in (my friends at home finally asked me to stop sending daily pics - too much of a tease).
I give this property my highest recommendation. We'll definitely be back!
