Return to Indian Shores
We come back to Indian Shores regularly and love the Sandcastle properties. This is our first year in Sandcastle I. We had a great vacation! The condo had everything we needed including a well-stocked kitchen (in terms of tools, etc ). Great view and the pool was excellent. Thanks, hosts!

Best Vacation with a View
Fabulous vacation. The condo was clean and pretty. The best part was the absolutely gorgeous view. The Family room and master bedroom have ceiling to floor windows with an amazing view. Aside from the fact it was super hot this was far by one of our best family vacations. We will definitely be back.

Wet nice place
This condo had a great view of the ocean! Check in was easy and it was nice to not need a key to get in and out. Air conditioner did not work well so we were not really able to use front bedroom because it was so hot and had to hang a blanket in front of window in other front bedroom to help keep sun out. Overall pleased with our stay

Beachtown Getaway
This condo is located in Indian Shores which has maintained its residential beachtown feel despite the commercialization of St. Pete Beach to the south and Clearwater Beach to the north. Condo was great, with all the amenities you could want. Wish the weather was a bit warmer, but at least the pool was heated! View from the balcony is spectacular. Owners were amazingly responsive to all questions. Would definitely recommend staying here!

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
Don't hesitate...just book it! The condo was clean which was my main concern. The beach view was wonderful! It was also in great proximity from Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Pete. We didn't want the craziness and expense of Clearwater, so Indian Rocks was perfect. Ian and Michelle were wonderful to work with! Reserving and checking into the condo was easy.

nice condo had everything we needed and comfortable. kitchen was very well equipped, living room was comfortable with nice oceanfront patio that was awesome for mornings and evenings. If I had any cons it would be the 2nd bathroom had little less pressure then I prefer but it wasn't that big a deal. I had my 2 grown daughters with me and their SO's. plenty of room for us.

Great Condo, Great Location
Can't beat the views sitting on this condo balcony. Looking at the ocean and palm trees is the best views for me. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub felt amazing after two days on the road. We loved walking across the street for dinner at Caddy's and walked several times to the Indian Shores Trading Company for t-shirts. Amazing treasures are found walking the beach. Our first day there sponges were coming in on the beach. So very cool and interesting!

Family vacation
Loved the area been there for 40+ years. The room we reserved had been given to another person but the owner had another room of equal size. He gave a a 50$ gift card so all was ok. The room was great location was great. I had to clean it which wasn’t so good. I love this area but wish it was cleaner. People in the area are so nice and can’t say enough about location. Wish I could live there.

Great location, beautiful beach, pool and hot tub. Building is dated and unit was good size but could use some sprucing up. The dish ware, glass ware and kitchen essentials need to be upgraded.

Great family vacation!
We've vacationed in the Indian Rocks area for several years now. We love the area and this condo was perfect! Bedrooms are a good size, beds were comfy and everything was as described! The complex itself was very nice- love the new landscaping and walkways! Checkin process and key codes were so easy! We did use a guest parking spot too and had no issues, but the complex wasn't full either. Only a couple very minor things- the sheets on the beds were a little scratchy, not terrible though. The front bedroom stays quite warm, but there were fans available. The patio furniture wasn't very comfortable; the height was nice, but not for sitting long or without shoes. None of these impacted our stay though! We are already talking about booking again for next year!!

Beautiful setting and wonderful weather. Love Sandcastle condos.
Nice layout with a separate vanity off the master bedroom, in addition to the bathroom sink Bathrooms renovated with new tile. Door into second bath from the second bedroom was also convenient. Gorgeous view from the balcony.
Furniture fairly new and comfortable. Washer and dryer convenient although washer very noisy. Newer microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Silverware was odds and ends with only 1 teaspoon. Purchased a colander. Dining table only accommodates 4. Sheets were basic and not very soft but beds were firm and new.
Would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful Stay
The Condo was very accomidating - views were beautiful, space was plentiful. It was pretty well equipped. There were some things that needed upgraded or replaced - pots and pans are not up to par, that made it hard for us due to the fact we cooked 5 meals during our stay. Even with spray and butter everything was sticking. There are also ZERO cleaning products, so I would suggest going to dollar tree for items as such.
Other than those 2 those 2 things we really enjoyed our stay. There were dolphins every morning, we even saw a PINK one our 1st morning. The sunsets are gorgeous and the coffee shops are plentiful.
Beds were very decent and bathrooms were great. The soaking tub is awesome!!!!!
I would stay again - as long as I can cook stickfree ❤️ with 8 kids between 2 condos eating out isn't an option lol
The owners are super nice and VERY responsive. That was greatly appreciated!
Thank you Ian and Michelle.
