Ocean Sands Summer Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this property Aug 10-17,2024,for a family reunion. First, the photos are accurate and reflect all of the attributes of the property. The setting and views are without equal. Second, the response from the BTR staff was excellent when we had a question either before the visit (Mona) or during our stay (Joanie). When a few small issues cropped up during the week (like a fault code on a clothes dryer), the response from the staff was quick and the contractors sent to repair the issue were professional and friendly. We were most pleased with the efforts of the entire BTR team and would recommend them to future renters. It was great to have local folks with an office "down the street" who knew the property well and took great care to make our stay a memorable one.

Perfect Beach House
It’s like waking up to a picture post card every morning and the sunsets are amazing! Our 3,4 and 9 year old literally lined up their seats on the balcony to watch the sun “go into the water”! Our group wants to go back next year! Balcony to pool to beach in just a few steps! Yes please!

Perfect Family Vacation Home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year in Ocean Sands. The house is beautiful and has everything you need! The pool is wonderful for a relaxing evening after a day at the beach or when it is a little chilly since we ask for it to be heated. Location is perfect with lots of places to dine out or get takeout to enjoy on the deck or poolside. And you can see you are literally steps from the beach. Plenty of beach towels and toys. This year we saw dolphins on two occasions and a also a stingray jumping one evening. The sunsets are breathtaking! And if you need anything or have a question, they are only a phone call away.

It was okay. Wouldn't stay here again.
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lots of stairs, not very clean. Had to wait 15 minutes before we could checkin in- after check in time. House stunk of chemicals for 2 days after check in day. Pool was not clean and not the warmest. We paid extra to have the pool "heated" and I wouldn't say it was heated at all. It was nice to be right on the beach.Parking is super tight. Our rental mini vans didn't fit in the garages. I wouldn't stay here again. Over all rating- 3 stars.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay at this house for the privacy of the pool and back yard, that is gated with its own path just steps from the beach and water. The balconies are spacious and protective from rain or shine. And the house provides plenty of space and openness for our family of 6. The walk-in showers are nice as well. We’ve stayed here multiple times. We appreciated our host Joanie, she was very helpful and attentive.

Amazing Property
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 5th girls trip and Ocean Sands is definitely our #1 choice going forward. The house can comfortably accommodate 9-10 without having to share beds. It was nicely updated and very clean. Property mgmt was very responsive and helpful. The house sits directly on the beach with an amazing pool area. The views were amazing. Our only complaint, and this wouldn't keep us from returning, was that there were very few bars/restaurants within walking distance. We could walk to a couple of coffee shops, but definitely needed the golf cart to really explore, shop, eat, drink, etc. The beach was beautiful and relatively private. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Great house w great view
We had a wonderful family vacation, the pool area is fantastic with lots of room to enjoy. The beach was VERY close to the house so the view was extra good compared to other ocean front houses we have rented (we rent every year for 20 years so we know). The beach itself is very small, not sure why this area is so small but beware of that. 2 Major suggestions: The house NEEDS shades or blinds on the back side as the sun was beating in during dinner time hours with no way block it, very bothersome for many in our family…that was disturbing. Also no ceiling fans on the outside patio which would have been nice to help keep the heat down or at least creating a breeze.

House was wonderful but beach was disappointing
We have stayed many times in this neighborhood and this house. We have been coming to the Indian Rocks/Indian Shores beaches for 20 years, but, unfortunately, we will not be back. The “pink house” is our favorite property. We love the unobstructed views, the wonderful pool, and the private beach access. This year, the beach was the problem. There wasn’t one. We researched and discovered that it was an issue between the homeowners and the corps of engineers, ending in no renorishment of the Pinellas County beaches. It’s hard to enjoy the beach when there isn’t one. Very unfortunate.

Beautiful home right on the beach, great location
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean with more than enough space to accommodate our 2 families of 4. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with assorted pans, pots, cooking utensils, cutlery, and a combo drip/keurig style coffeemaker. The fridge has an ice maker with filtered water. We paid for pool heat since it was March and had no issues. There are plenty of towels, beach toys, and chairs in the garage as well as coolers you can roll onto the beach. The shoreline is nice and close to the house so that you can easily see your kids on the beach from the upper patio. We watched the beautiful sunsets from both the main and master patios, both of which have very comfortable furniture for hours of reading. The house is within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, ice cream, and a park with a playground and pickleball courts. Renting a car isn’t necessary, but if you do there are 2 spots in the garage that are a bit of a tight squeeze. The check out process was the easiest of all the properties we have booked, and our manager was easily accessible and helpful.

We really enjoyed being RIGHT ON THE BEACH! Plenty of beach towels, chairs and beach/pool toys! We always get the pool heated and recommend it. This year we learned what to look for and how to find sharks teeth on our beach walks. Wonderful beach time! Ages in our group ranged from 4 to 71 years of age. PERFECT place for the family to gather and vacation together!

Nice furniture, beds, bedding and linens. The lower level suite does not have a closet. Also, there is one side by side refrigerator, so with a larger family group a second refrigerator would have been nice. The pool was kept clean and in working order. The property management team is very kind and responsive. Our entire family with young grandchildren had fun, enjoyed the pool, beach, sunrises, sunsets and nearby attractions.

Escape Winter Here!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Ocean Sands was such a great little family vacation. We've never rented right on the beach before, and this lovely spot literally steps away from the beach, made our week so relaxing. We could grab a comfy chair from the garage and be on the beach to watch the sunset in just moments. With large decks/patios on all three levels, you'll have no shortage of space for admiring the sights and sounds of the ocean. The pool was lovely as well and we highly recommend paying the fee for heat if you visit when the temperatures are lower, since the pool is such a major part of the overall experience. Our only complaint was with the shortage of basic supplies. While the house rules make this clear in advance, we found that even the limited supplies listed were not all available, and we had to make a couple of unplanned visits to the grocery store for necessities like garbage liners, toilet tissue, and body soap. You'll be fine if you are only staying overnight, but longer stays will require a trip to purchase your own supplies. If you plan to do any cooking on-site, you'll also need to load up on basic supplies like aluminum foil and pan spray (to protect the owner's pans from damage), salt and pepper, (shakers are provided but they were empty), paper towels, sponges, dishwasher detergent etc. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the pans and dishes you will need, but no condiments or disposable supplies, so plan to pick up everything you need if you are staying longer than overnight. We found the location very clean, but did have to add water to the pool on our first day before the levels were high enough to get the pool heater to kick on. Otherwise, it's a vacation you'll enjoy. This is a great spot, especially if you plan to do nothing more than relax, sun yourself, and breathe.

The Worst
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Simply the worst experience we’ve ever had with any vacation rental. They were initially unresponsive when I informed them in the first hour that the air conditioning was not working, and the heat on the top floor was extremely uncomfortable. They refused to give any partial refund when three of the four bedrooms were unusable due to the heat. They admitted the air conditioning was broken, but claimed the outside temperature should have cooled the house, despite us repeatedly reporting that the inside temperature with all ceiling fans running was 83 degrees. The house is supposed to be air conditioned on all floors, especially on the top floor where most of us were supposed to sleep. After the second uncomfortable day of our three day stay, they offered to move us to another unit but would not reimburse us a penny for the discomfort already experienced or inconvenience of having to pack everything up and relocating. They certainly did not offer an alternate unit with the same direct beach access that we had paid thousands of dollars to use. When I asked for a partial refund, they never responded. I elevated this issue to Airbnb, and was told that the owners’ only reply was that the outside temperature should’ve been enough to cool the house. This is absolutely unacceptable and deplorable treatment, especially after getting paid as much as they did for a three day stay.
