About this property

Shore Haven Unit 5A | Gulf View Condo!

Want to get away from everything and vacation in a place that is low-key, right by the Gulf, and situated in a truly small town of only about 1,500 people? You’re looking for Shore Haven Unit 5A. This beachside retreat in Indian Shores gives you access to all the bells and whistles you want to take in but lets you begin and end each day in the peace and quiet of your quiet little enclave on the sand.
With a front door and balcony facing the Gulf, you’ll spend many fond hours sitting on your covered porch watching the surf and perhaps sipping an evening glass of wine as the sun sets. No noisy pool, no high-rise hassles – just you, your guests, and the turquoise blue waters and white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. That’s a vacation!
Walk through your Shore Haven Unit 5A front door, and you’ll enter the main living space that is truly open. Living room, dining room, and kitchen flow from one to the other without walls. What an encouragement to camaraderie and conversation.
Your living room is tastefully decorated with a comfortable couch and love seat facing toward your large flat-screen TV with Roku and DVD player. Pop some corn and watch your favorite movie. Or, maybe you’ll want to log in to the free Wi-Fi available at Shore Haven Unit 5A to send some vacation photos to family or friends back home. Of course, this beachside retreat has central air-conditioning, but there is also a ceiling fan to gently circulate the air and keep everyone comfortable. There’s a lot of natural Florida sunshine pouring in through the many windows and sliding glass doors in this home, giving Shore Haven Unit 5A a cheery open-air feel.
Your large, granite-topped dining table has plenty of room to serve six people in grace and elegance. Plus, with the kitchen right beside the space, serving could hardly be easier.
You will love cooking in the Shore Haven Unit 5A kitchen. The lengthy peninsula with a built-in breakfast bar and stainless steel sinks is a wonderful pre

Nice Beach in a nice neighborhood
The living and dining area of the unit was nicely furnished and updated. Most of the furniture on the deck was very weathered (some rusted and non-usable). Overall, it was a nice location steps from a very nice beach.

Beach Holiday
Nice condo 2 bedrooms and 2 baths kitchen was nice but needed more utensils, cutlery. Balcony was nice and had a small view of the beach. Easy access by car to local sites and attractions however no close restaurants to walk to. Overall would stay here again, units 1,2 and 3 will have unfettered beach views FYI.

Living on the beach for a month
We really enjoyed our stay on the beach in this property. It was very much what was advertised and there were no real surprises. The electronic keypad made getting into the condo super easy and the fact we didn't have to always carry a key was nice. We stayed for a month so we did a lot of cooking and the kitchen had updated appliances and plenty of cookware, plates and utensils. The condo has plenty of room and it couldn't be any closer to the beach. Our only wish was maybe the patio furniture could be a little more updated. One of our biggest complaint was there is no recycling. We drove all of our recycling weekly to a local faculty that was 5 miles away.

Great view
Great view. Easy access to beach. Has a wonderful deck but is very cluttered with miscellaneous worn out furniture that makes the deck an obstacle course. The kitchen is nicely updated. However the rest of unit needs updated. It’s very outdated. We didn’t use the hallway bathroom shower r/t the drain appearing very corroded with debris. No Tv in second bedroom. We was ONLY provided with 4 bath towels!!!! So was washing towels daily. I have never rented and only received 4 towels. On our last day 2 girls were attempted to come to our unit. Come to find out it was owners family. Not very good feeling that random people are showing up to the unit that you paid for. I contacted V trips & received a follow up call from them the following day. I have never left negative reviews but this was unacceptable. Never heard anything else about our random visitors. I felt like the owner should have apologized.

Great Location
The location was wonderful, just a few feet from the beach. We loved watching the sunset from the deck. The beach was very private and beautiful. Getting into the property was challenging. The wooden door to the deck was closed. The string that led to the latch to open it was inside the gate. My husband figured out away to reach it. Overall, our experience was very pleasant.

Beautiful Stay
We had a great time in Indian Shores. The area is low-key with some very good restaurants around. The condo is very nice and updated. The location is super--although you are second row, you have a nice view of the ocean out the front door and you can hear the waves. There is a fairly long outdoor stairway to the condo--it is essentially on the third level--so carrying 40-50 lb suitcases to the condo could be a challenge for some. The outdoor balcony is great for sitting in the morning and later afternoons, listening to the waves. The balcony is beginning to get a bit cluttered with miscellaneous furniture--it might be time to remove some. It is probably 30 steps from the end of the stairwell to the sand and another 30 steps or so through the dunes to the beach. The kitchen is well-stocked and we cooked some breakfasts and one dinner there--it worked out well. All and all, a very nice time!

Great beach views and awesome sunsets
We stayed a week. Loved the super-sized porch for reading and watching the sunsets! Well equipped kitchen (even a crock pot)! As this unit is on the top/2nd floor, there are many steps (20-25) up to the unit so consider that if you have mobility issues.

Great rental
Loved the large deck, the quick walk to the beach, and the updates to the kitchen. It would be great if we had a few more bath towels, and some more cooking utensils including a real nonstick pan. Otherwise, it was fantastic and very peaceful!

Perfect for our family of 4!
We prepare the majority of our meals on vacation. So the beautiful kitchen was perfect for us. We didn’t have to pack lunches because we were right on the beach. It’s quiet. It’s not in a mega condo. Neighbors were kind and helpful. We will book again!

A few steps to Paradise
This property is not beach front. It has a beach sideview between two buildings. You can see the beach from the living room and partial view from master bedroom. The downstairs neighbors are fulltime residents and will entertain you with their radio. They are great! Best part about this place: About 25 steps to the sand! We swept and found dog food and other junk under the sofas which were not from our stay. I cleaned everything again due to Coronavirus, but overall it was already pretty clean minus the stuff under the furniture. Nice appliances including a dishwasher. There are a few beach chairs and toys in the unit. The lights in the bathrooms are super annoying as they are motion activated and operate on a very brief timer which we could not figure out how to override. This made showers an adventure. In spite of these few bumps, we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Stay for kidney donation
Stayed at this property following my kidney donation surgery. Great viewed but there is construction going on right next door! Very loud. Made it difficult to rest. Light switches keep going off while in shower. Beds are extremely uncomfortable!!! Very hard. Like sleeping on rocks!

The unit is in good condition and well located.
We enjoyed our stay at Indian Shores with direct access to the beach and easy access to Clearwater and St Pete. There was a water leak problem with the washer in the unit that unfortunately took several days to resolve. We made a request to management for compensation for the inconvenience and have not received a final response one way or the other in two weeks. It is unacceptable not to have a reasonable response in a timely manner.

Looked the way we expected from the photos.
The location is right on. It had all we needed. Beautiful condo. There could be better instruction on the entrance code, we had to figure it out. Would prefer lights in the bathroom rather than the motion detectors. It turns off when your in the tub or shower because no motion is detected.
