Fabulous!!!!! Wish we could have checked out later but thank goodness we could stay at the pool! This has been the best scenic views by far from all of the places we have stayed. The location is fabulous everything within walking or trolley. I always get a rental car which makes it twice as nice. Thank you guys for offering such a wonderful place to stay!!!!

Was not impressed. The photos are very old. The entry door was very hard to get in and out of. It has to be lifted in order to clear the threshold. The slider door only has an inside handle, so you had to leave door partially open to get back in. The air did not work properly. The mattress needed to be changed. Furniture was very comfortable and the the unit was clean. It would be helpful to have some kind of tv listing for the tv. Necessities were very well provided. Will not be staying in this unit again.

Review 205
Excellent location with a beautiful view of the Gulf. Overall the condo was nice but it needs a few things addressed. It’s definitely time for new mattresses and the blinds are in rough shape and pretty much inoperable which prior reviews indicated. The floors were definitely not that clean and there’s no vacuum in the unit. Also the toilet seat is ancient and needs to be replaced. That being said I would definitely stay there again even without the much needed changes.

The condo was nice, as was the pool & beach area. It's an older building but the unit has clearly been renovated & maintained. There were some cleaning misses, but that's on the cleaning service, not the host. I'd stay there again.

Location is fantastic. Spectacular sunset and beach views. Unit was not very clean. Stove did not work and was not fixed during our stay. Toaster did not work. D/W did not clean. Limited kitchen utensils and cooking gear. Area around unit, pool, pool deck, garage were kept very nice and tended to everyday.

Wish it were bug and dust free! The views were awesome!
There was dust on pictures walls even the ceiling almost like staying in an authentic haunted house without the ghost. There were ants so bad that even after wiping down the counters if you place anything on the counter within seconds there would be tiny little ants all over your item. We ended up eating out every meal so we didn’t have to use the kitchen or chance ants getting in our foods. The beach is really close and the views from the balcony are fantastic! Do not chance turning the ceiling fan on it’s about ready to fall out of the ceiling. I wish someone would’ve took more care of the place because with just a little clean up and pest control this would’ve been a fantastic place to stay!

Just ok. Not great.
So my wife and I stayed here for a week in early August 2022. I'll start with the good stuff and move on to the not so good. Pros. The location is perfect. Right across the street from John's Pass, you really have everything you need/want right here The view from the condo was awesome and access to the beach was great. The condo itself has much to be improved on. The air conditioning work well and the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. The pool area was really nice too.. That pretty much sums up the good unfortunately. Cons. The beds were very uncomfortable. From the mattress to the sheets and pillows, it was pretty bad. The bath towels were pretty much sandpaper. The toilet paper they supplied almost dissolved upon application, not cool. The water pipes made a terrible noise the entire stay and the toilet had problems and needs new internals I opened the utility closet and the air filter was so dirty I removed it. Gross. No hand soap, paper towels or dish soap was provided. There was one tablet for the dishwasher provided. Now to the living room. First off, the furniture in the entire place was ols and in poor condition. The couch, recliner and love seat were so gross we actually put a sheet over them so we could sit down. The TV was probably one of the first foat screens ever made. It was small, not a smart TV. No DVDs or movies could be watched. Pretty crappy. All In all the location and views were great, but the condo itself was not.

View is best feature
The view from this corner unit is great but the unit itself is very worn. The vertical blinds in the living area are completely damaged and missing pieces but we were able to gently move them by hand. Unit was clean at check in but no basics were provided - no dish soap or hand soap in bath, a few remaining paper towels on a roll. Plenty of toilet paper. Only 3 bath towels provided for a family of 4. The toilet ran constantly but flush was ok. Chain got stuck once. Refrigerator is noisy as were water pipes in the walls. Light fixtures rusted. Only occupied for 2 nights so just made do. Pool area has plenty of seating and some nice shade areas, pool bath had no toilet paper. I have rented VRBO properties for the past 10 years and this unit does not make the grade. I would suggest looking for a different unit in this complex.

205 Sandy Shores - amazing views
Best location,on the beach - this balcony end unit allows you to view everything from the Pass to the other end of beach including sunset. Took a little while to finding parking spot - there is no order to the spots, look for the one marked 205. Elevator, stairs, pool, beach gate and your room all require entry codes (and they are all different so keep those #’s with you always).When we arrived our unit was unlocked which was a little disturbing since it was close to midnight (I think that was just a mistake) Inside the unit is as pictured, the kitchen is pretty big, regular coffee maker (not keurig) bring coffee (there was filters). Coffee was left in coffee pot as well as used grounds in coffee filter so that was gross. Fridge looked newer and worked great, had to turn on ice maker in freezer. Furniture outdated and didn’t smell great but didn’t spend a lot of time lounging around inside anyways. Ceiling fans shake and make crazy noise seemed like they were gonna fall out of ceiling so we’re afraid to use. Feet black after walking on tile, so we had to wear shoes inside condo. Would have mopped floor myself (no mop/cleaning supplies) Windows dirty, my husband bought window cleaner and cleaned. No kitchen counter spray to keep kitchen clean. Bathroom sink was clogged, and there was LITERALLY a trickle of water that came out of shower head, so showering the first day was horrible!!! After 3 phone calls maintenance finally came and replaced shower head and poured some stuff down sink (new shower head made huge difference !) Bathroom towels were soft! Beds are not comfy, mattresses sag in the middle and beds are squeaky, sheets stiff. Carpet in bedroom needs to go or deep cleaned. Huge closet to hang clothes up as well as dresser drawers. Most frustrating part of this is the cleaning fees are so high yet the cleaning leaves a lot to be desired (just being honest) There was just a just a little bit of a paper towel roll left and one roll of TP - so be prepared to get these or if driving bring with you. Same with paper plates, plastic cups, trash bags, kitchen/bathroom hand soap, etc - you need to bring all that and beach towels. I did see hair dryer under sink although I had my own. There is a trash chute by elevator. John’s Pass Boardwalk is directly across the street so again this location is AMAZING ! Pool area is kept clean and orderly and felt safe at this condo. Just needs some TLC, updates. Hope our review is helpful.

Location was the best part of this condo. The views were amazing and the sunsets were spectacular!!
We had a few issues with the refrigerator not working when we arrived on Wednesday and getting a replacement took until late Friday morning. The furniture has seen its better days the chair, sofa, and love seat were in pretty tough shape. The beds weren't very comfortable and the décor was pretty dated. The shower hooks and rod were pretty rusty as well. The location was pretty fabulous so it made our stay worth while.

First time. Overall happy
Mostly happy with our stay. This condo is in an awesome location and is walking distance to bars, restaurants and shopping. The view from the room is amazing, definitely the best part of the room and the main reason we booked. The beds weren’t the most comfortable and we were having trouble with our toilet. It was leaking and we had to keep adjusting the handle to flush. But overall nice stay

Great Family Getaway
We enjoyed our time at Sandy Shores. Perfect beach location. I LOVED the private beach and easy access. Perfect upkeep of beach. There were trashcans on the beach and they have the cutest little garbage truck that drives down the beach every morning to empty the cans. They also used another truck to flatten/smooth the sand in the mornings and intermittently throughout the day. The condo had fantastic views and perfect location to the beach and John's Pass. So convenient to be able to walk to the restaurants and attractions! (I read that parking/paying to park is a nightmare there and we experienced none of that!) The condo had some beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards and sand toys! Wish we had known ahead of time so as to not try to pack all that in our car! Even with messaging through VRBO, we had not received check in information even on the day of check in. I was able to call the Johns Pass Condo number and the guy on the phone was super nice and emailed the info right away! Unfortunately, we visited during Red Tide and there were hundreds of dead fish washed up for a couple days during our stay. I will commend Pinellas County though on the quick clean-up once tides returned to normal. The condo served it's purpose and housed our family of 4 fine, but I have just a few suggestions to help improve the stay for future guests: -A new shower curtain rod/hooks. The rod fell a couple of times from trying to slide the rusted hooks across. -A full length mirror -A broom/dustpan -Needs a new toilet (we had some minor issues with a leaky toilet) -New fridge/freezer -- or just fix the ice maker. There were only 2 ice trays in the condo. Some convenience stores were sold out of ice by 9am. -Bed skirts - I think this would help the bedroom look more put together and fresh -Plastic cups!! All glass drinkware, tile, and a glass table is a recipe for disaster if you travel with kids! Coin-operated laundry is close to this unit, but is $1.50 per load for the washer AND dryer. We brought a roll of quarters thinking this would be enough for a week, but with a family of 4 we definitely needed to do more than 3 loads of laundry! On site maintenance was very responsive. We had an issue where my son was sick near the elevator. I was able to knock on the office door and the gentleman that answered was so nice and understanding. I offered to clean it myself, but he took care of it very quickly. Very appreciative of that! Overall, I would stay here again!
