Thank you, Jill, communication was top-notch.Jill responses very quickly with any questions you might have.We traveled with daughter, son-in-law three teenage grandchildren. We drove down, but next year we plan on flying and renting this unit. The unit has beach towels, beach chairs, and supplies. Caddy’s is across a two lane road on the inter-coastal side, (safe crossing).Two queen beds, king bed, and twin beds made for comfortable sleeping for everyone.

Much needed beach vacation
My sister and I had a wonderful time at this condo. The condo is beautiful and very accomodating. The beds were comfortable and everything was so clean. And the beautiful ocean view - what can I say - it was exceptional to look out to that view everyday! We loved the oversized balcony that had a really comfortable table with swival chairs which we used everyday. The kitchen was very nice and had plenty of items to use in cooking and eating. There was a nice big couch which was very nice and comfortable. We were very happy to have nice bath towels. In addition to our bath towels - there was a great selection of beach towels. It was so nice not to have to pack beach towels to bring on a plane. I also really liked the chute near the elevators where you dropped off the trash bags. That was so convenient. We both loved our stay at the Indian Shores 2 beach condo. My sister and I were impressed on how clean they kept the pool area. It was very nice. And it was so convenient to be able to step right out to the beach. There were plenty of beach chairs to take to the beach - low sitting beach chairs and higher sitting ones, as well. What more could you ask for! Communication with the owner was very easy and responsive & we appreciate them making sure that the condo was beautiful, clean, and comfortable! Caddy's - right across the street - was so good - great food! I would definately recommend this condo to anyone who wants to spend a week at this great beach. Thanks for everything!

Mom/daughter senior spring break
4 moms and 4 daughters on their high school senior spring break. The condo met out needs and was perfect. Great views from the balcony, loved watching dolphins. The area was nice. Would definitely would stay here again. My only little complaint is that the hot tub and pool was closed down at 9:30. Would be nice if it was at least open until 11:00. We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful, clean Oceanside condo
We traveled to Indian Shores from Des Moines, Iowa. One of the things that drew me to this condo was the balcony and it did not disappoint. The view from the balcony was amazing! The condo was clean on arrival and very well stocked with linens / towels and kitchen supplies. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. The washer and dryer in the unit were wonderful for a beach vacation. There is a bin of beach goodies on the porch from beach chairs to sand castle supplies. The area had plenty to do. The activities we loved the most were body surfing, walks on the beach and bicycling the Panellas trail. We rented from Trail Sport Bicycles. They are reasonably priced and supplied us with everything we needed. Head North on the trail, that is the best. Things to avoid…We went to the Clearwater aquarium which I do not recommend. It is small and took us less than an hour to get through. Busch gardens was also a bust. Very expensive and the rides kept breaking down. They nickel and dime you on everything. The food…we love donuts and Jupiter donuts did not disappoint. It is about a 15 minute drive. We drove to town most nights for dinner. Miller’s Ale house was great. Zaxbys is good fried chicken. Caddy’s is right across the street with good drinks Parking… It is very tight but doable. We had a minivan that fit with lots of maneuvering. The guest parking was never open so I’m glad we only had one car. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful condo!

Condo Has It All
Wonderful stay at this condo. If you want to stay and cook in, everything you need is provided. The grill area is very useful. If you prefer to eat out, Caddy’s is right across the street along with many other restaurants within minutes away. The pool was always clean, convenient parking, and the beach is right there. Sunsets are beautiful and if you enjoy boating or kayaking, it is right across the street. Plenty of room in the condo and Valerie is quick to answer any questions you may have.

Great Location and Beautiful Views
We had a great experience staying at this property. It was clean and the view was gorgeous. The location is perfect. We typically stay further up in Indian Rocks Beach but we booked this trip a little later than usual and decided to stay further down. We walked across the street to Caddy's a couple of times and I liked that we were closer to Salt Rock Grill which is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The only issue we experienced was only having one parking pass when we got there. I think the previous people might have driven off with it. But the owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond and was able to come over and give us a new one. And, wouldn't you know it, but then one of our party went and drove off with the parking pass, too! But they were very nice about it and allowed us to mail it back. The owners are friendly and you can tell they want their guests to have a great experience. Overall, it was a great trip and the location and view from the condo is one of the best!

Valerie is the best!
The condo we were booked to stay in was under construction so Valerie would not recommend us to stay in her condo & found us another place to stay! How many people do you think would spend their own personal time & give up their income that week to help us out?! Now I just have to get back to Indian Shores & stay in Valerie’s condo to pay her back for all of her help. If your going to Indian Shores please stay with Valerie - she is the best!

This was our first trip to Indian Shores and we will definitely be back. The condo was roomy and had everything you could possibly need. Literally bring your clothes and food and they have everything else there. They have everything you need for the pool or beach so don’t bother packing all that. Valerie responded promptly for any questions we had. We loved being Oceanfront and we could look across the street and see the waterway. We will be back!

Upon arrival at the condo, our key code for the unit door did not work. I called Valerie (the owner) and she provided me with another code and we were in the unit within minutes! This was the only hiccup for our week long stay. The condo was beautiful and just as advertised, the calm ocean water was so peaceful and we absolutely love that there aren't huge highrise buildings lining the shoreline. We will be back again and again! Thanks Valerie
