WE THINK YOU WILL LOVE THE UNIT AND THE BEACH FRONT LOCATION OF THE BUILDING. OUR FEEDBACK HAS BEEN WONDERFUL SO FAR. FEEL FREE TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS, AND CHECK OUT OUR REVIEWS.

The condo is one of the more quiet units in the building as there are no units to either side or below us. Even though it's a very short walk to the pool, you don't hear any noise from the pool area.

Our unit has been remodeled. It's a 3 bedroom-2 bathroom condominium on Indian Shores Beach and has all the amenities you need for your beautiful beach front vacation. At over 1400 SQ FT, our condo has plenty of room to sleep up to 8 people. We have modernized the finishes and furnishings to give the condo a much more open, lighter, "beachy" feel.

The renovations include all new "wood look" tile throughout, fresh paint, new baseboards, new beds and bedroom furnishings, new walk-in shower, and an updated kitchen with granite counters. The unit has a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, glass-top stove, and all the tools you need for any meal at home.

There are flat screen TVs mounted on the wall in all 3 bedrooms and a 57 in. flat screen in the living room. There is free Wi-Fi available and a telephone with free local calling.

There are 3 bedrooms in this unit, with 1 king in the master, 1 king in the 2nd bedroom, and 2 queens in the 3rd bedroom. Both bathrooms have double sink vanities and brand new LED lighting. The 2nd bathroom has been completely re-done and includes a beautiful walk-in shower.

There is a full size washer and dryer in this unit, and an iron with ironing board.

The amenities of the Sand Dollar resort include a large heated private pool and a 16 person Jacuzzi area (both of which are salt water so there is no chlorine) , 5 charcoal grills, a private fishing pier, free parking for 2 cars /unit, poolside bathrooms, and outdoor showers.

There are many local restaurants nearby, as well as the beautiful John's Pass area just 5 miles down the road. We look forward to you coming to our Indian Shores getaway and taking advantage of the beautiful, white, sandy beaches and the beautiful Florida weather.

Enjoyed our stay, but there are some things to be aware of

This condo is in a great location and is right on the beach. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The building itself and lobby are quite dated and there is only one small elevator for use. The building and pool area are still under repair from the damage of recent hurricanes. In fact, a good amount of hurricane damage remains in the area and many things are still closed. Despite this, we still enjoyed our stay and visit, there were enough restaurants, etc. open.

There are property managers on site to assist with check-in so it is very easy. Also if there are any problems during the stay, someone is there to assist. The condo owner was wonderful and i hope the next time our whole family goes to the beach this property is available. No complaints. Thp

Perfect!

The place was exactly as advertised. A lot bigger in person and absolutely perfect. We loved everything about our stay here. Plenty of room, comfortable, great area and the access to the amenities were wonderful. We loved the key access around the area for extra safety too. If we had to pick something to complain about, the beach chairs provided were in rough shape and we were not able to utilize them. Other than that we truly look forward to booking again!

Great Girlfriend Getaway

Check in was easy and informative Appreciate the security measures in place to keep the condo area strictly to guests staying there. Met many families that have come there for 10+years. Beach area was nice enjoyed option to get shade when needed not much shade in pool area once sun ones around. At one point mid afternoon has the pool to myself! Advertises condo comes with beach chairs 2 of them were not useable only one good chair. Pool noodles were a plus! Only con was the furniture sat very low for elderly in the group made it hard to get up and down from Condo area was quiet during sleeping hoursbeachtowels were a great benefit

One of our best family vacations

Family of 22 spanning ages of 1-76. My husband and myself, 5 children w 4 spouses and 11 grandchildren. We rented 5 condos for the week June 8-15. Sand Dollar complex allowed us the perfect areas to get together. Would highly recommend this complex for family get togethers. The beach was so close, as was the pool, hot tub and volleyball. The pier was a real plus. We used the area under it for chairs and time out of the sun. The kids loved fishing from the pier. We didn’t need a lot of the stuff we packed due to the closeness of everything. Wagon never came out of the car. We brought 5 canopies and only one got used. We will return. Staff was exceptional.

Great Ocean Getaway

Property was a great location! We enjoyed the condo, pool and ocean. The private pier is a great added bonus. The bird sanctuary down the road which others mentioned created an odor (we did not notice it while on the property) was actually a fun little place to explore. Only thing to note if planning to stay here is the set-up to the condo. The room with the double beds does not close off right at the room. Instead the door is down a hallway which includes two closets and the second bathroom. Not a great set-up for putting kids in this room, but didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment of the stay. The management company for the property was extremely kind and accommodating. The owner was as well the few times we reached out with questions.

Spring Break vacay

Property was just as pictures and described. We have stayed in this building for 20 years and this was the first time in this condo. One of the nicest we have stayed in. Host was easy to communicate with and very helpful with any requests. Management at the building always helpful. Location is our favorite, very quiet and family friendly. Pool and spa are awesome and beach and pier are always a favorite.

Great week at the beach with family

We very much enjoyed our week at this Condo. Russ was very responsive to my questions and even allowed us early check in. The staff were very friendly and the check in process was quick and easy. The condo was very clean, spacious and has comfortable beds in all 3 rooms. It was especially great that it was equipped with several beach chairs, umbrellas and 5 large beach towels. We would not hesitate to rent this unit again.

About the host

Hosted by PATTY and RUSS RICHERT

Host profile image
Russ and Patty have been married 40 years and have lived in Tampa Bay the whole time. We love the beach and think you will love this place too. We put our hearts and souls into remodeling and refurnishing the unit. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

People love it here. We were around and did quite a bit of the remodel work ourselves. Many people that we have spoken to during our remodeling period have told us how much they like the property, and how for 10, 20 years or more they have kept coming back here. It's a great location with a wonderful staff at a very fair price. These are some of the comments we heard from visitors and most all of them said they will book again for next year as they check out.

Our family is from Tampa so we were quite familiar with the property, and we were so happy to get the same positive feedback from other visitors that we felt ourselves.
