About this property

Large waterfront 3/3 Great view K, Q & loft w Q and bunk, dock, pool, grill


LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT CONDO? This has everything! It was not damaged during the storms except for the downstairs storage shed which was repaired.

Don't get everyone on top of each other on vacation! Spread out with 2/2 downstairs and huge bedroom w queen and bunk set and bath in loft. Plus a landing area for games. Computer desk and monitor on loft landing for WFH.

Sit on the 4 season balcony that can be enclosed, screened, or open and watch dolphins, manatees, pelicans, and boats. Amazing huge sunrises while you have your coffee.

Everyone can spread out and relax. The king room is at the end of the hall with an ensuite. The queen is separated by a bathroom and closet, so you have privacy. Upstairs in the loft is a landing area, then a bedroom with a bunk set and a queen bed. If you want to, you can add the 3rd bathroom up there for the cost of cleaning, linens, toiletries for $75 for the stay. This bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet. The ceiling does slant so not suitable for those over 6' tall. Everyone sleeps well on the comfy beds as per the reviews.

When you are ready to be more active, walk steps to the beach just across the two-lane road. Maybe you would rather fish from the dock. A 35lb tarpon was recently caught, but I can't guarantee, ha ha.

The location is great! Walk a block to Crabby's, a waterside restaurant or a couple blocks for miniature golf. Many other restaurants are within blocks. A trolley can take you to Clearwater Beach or all the way to St Pete Beach.

This condo is not suitable for children under 7.

Everyone gets a break in this condo. Spread out in this 1900 sq ft condo with loft. Lots of room for kids to play upstairs or for you to get away and work at the desk/printer station in the loft - portable collapsible desk. Look down at the water while you work and the kids are in the bunk area behind the door). High speed internet allows you to zoom meet. Home schooling? The kids can work upstairs in the loft landing or at the island or kitchen table while you work in the very back. Balance work and play as you see fit.

The stairs are now updated and safer. Will get new professional pics soon.

There is so much to do without even leaving the property. Dock, kayak ramp (you can rent kayaks and paddle boards a couple blocks away), heated pool, hangout area by the water with grill, TV, tables and chairs. Fishing is great! Can't promise but check out the pics!

BRING YOUR JET SKIS or paddle boards or rent them a block away. This condo has a ramp and a beach on the Intracoastal. The dock extends far out at the narrows so you can do some great fishing and the dolphins come right up. Walk a few steps across the street to the beach. Use the provided beach cart and chairs (downstairs storage unit) to have a great day at the beach.

This small complex has a heated pool that you will be able to enjoy to yourself many times. In addition, under the balcony of building A next to you is a great hangout by the water, with a grill, TV, and tables and chairs. Relax and have cocktails as the sun goes down! You can comfortably sit and have coffee or cocktails right out on the water with the seating area on the extended dock.

Like to fish? Here is what a guest wrote:
"The fishing was fantastic. I caught four redfish, tons of mangrove snapper, and I hooked and lost a tarpon. Also saw a 6 foot bull shark at the end of the dock." Of course, I can't guarantee YOU will have the same luck LOL



Cathedral ceilings and lots of windows make this a bright, open space. Water view is from the kitchen as well, which is open to the living area. There is a breakfast bar with stools.

A staircase leads to the loft. Tweens and teens have their own area above the living area where you can keep an eye but they can keep their mess and noise upstairs! A landing provides an area to hang out and play games. Games are provided.

The third bathrooom up in the queen/bunk room loft area is optional for $75 per stay. please let me know if you want it when you are booking. The reason for the upcharge is to save you money as many people do not want to use that upstairs bathroom and therefore, not have to pay the extra cleaning fee.

There is a 5 night minimum. During high season those 5 nights must fall somewhere between a Saturday and a Saturday.

The condo is up two easy flights of outside stairs that are covered so you can walk from the two-car tandem parking under the condo and up the covered stairs in case it should rain. The unit parks two cars back to back.

A washer dryer is handy in the main area by the kitchen. Many other amenities are provided, including beach towels, drip coffee pot, juicer, crockpot and more.

Keep in mind that you are on the 3rd floor in the Florida sun. During the heat of the day, even with this new 5 ton HVAC, the temps will not usually cool below 74 during the heat of the afternoon. However, with the high ceilings it is not an issue for almost everyone. Upon arrival when you are going in and out unloading, it can get up to 75 and take a while to cool down. Mornings and night times you should be able to have the temps as low as 67. This is typical for everywhere I have lived in FL condos. If this is an issue, reconsider the property and think of a hotel perhaps.

Indian Shores is a non-high rise, old Florida family-friendly little town near bigger towns that provide anything you could want. The water is clean and the beaches are lovely!

Dolphin Dreams is a second home for us but since we travel for work we can’t always get there. We are happy to share it with your family. Since I travel so much and stay in VRBO properties whenever possible, I know how important it is to have what you need and for things to be convenient. You want it to feel like home but yet also to feel like you are somewhere special – and you are! My goal is to help you make memories for a lifetime! Hope you will share your photos and experiences with me and have the best vacation ever!

Girls trip

Great property with plenty of room and wonderful location! Beach access was across the street and had a low key vibe. The owner was wonderful to work with and highly communicative about things happening in the area and was responsive to questions. Perfect spot for a small group of moms with their senior girls!

Wonderful Vacation

Property was exceptional and very clean, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Restaurants are in very close proximity, beach is right across the street, and fishing off the dock was exceptional. We saw dolphins quite often, and had several manatee come up to the dock. Couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend this property and can't wait to go back!

Enjoyable escape

Property was clean and very comfortable. Dock on causeway provided a nice area to sit in the sun and to fish from. No large fish were caught but I did catch a pinfish, spotted sea trout and the usual croaker. Covered parking area was nice considering we experienced some rain days. Wife and daughter enjoyed the short walk to the beach on the Gulf side where the wife and I wandered to catch a sunset. Communication with the host was very responsive. We had all the information ahead of time along with the lock access, check in and check out procedures. Would recommend a stay for a nice escape if in the area.

Best spot, so far!

We use VRBO and other home rental systems and this host blew us away, the home was even cuter than in the pictures. It had all the bells and whistles, we cooked and hosted dinner in, on rainy nights--on the secure porch, or went out to one of the many great lil restaurants. Only seconds from the beach, dolphins on the bay...and everyone agreed the beds and couch were super comfy too! I plan on returning to this spot, 5 out of 5!

A perfect week

We had the best stay at Janet’s place. The condo has a lot of space and everything you could possibly need to get your vacation started on the right foot. She goes above and beyond to be sure your vacation is stress free. It was so nice to see the water from the balcony and then walk right across the street to the most beautiful beach. The pool was clean and never crowded. There are restaurants and ice cream within walking distance. We spent a day at John’s pass, which is only a 15 minute drive away. We would definitely return for a visit.

About the host

Hosted by Janet

Host profile image
I lived in Indian Shores for 12 years until moving back to New Orleans two years ago for family reasons. I missed it so much I bought Dolphin Dreams as a second home to visit as often as I can. I am an author and public speaker in the field of neuroscience. I travel for work so I have hired a wonderful team that lives at the beach to take great care of you and of Dolphin Dreams. My favorite thing to do is have my morning coffee on the balcony and watch for dolphins.

Why they chose this property

I picked Dolphin Dreams because I know all the properties in Indian Shores as it took me two years to find a place I wanted to buy when I moved there. this is the best! I always had my eye on it. I love that it has it's own private beach and that the dock extends so far you can get really close to the dolphins (can you tell yet that I love dolphins!!). i also love that I can easily pull my cart to the beach because the access is so close and right across the street. I love the idea of a kid's loft because I owned a rental property in the panhandle the last two years (nearer to home) and my favorite thing is helping people make family memories for a lifetime. Unlike other condos with extended family crowded together (dare I say sometimes getting on each other's nerves ha ha) this condo is spread out. There is lots of privacy with separation between the king and queen and the kids up in the loft. And yet there is lots of room for the family to gather in the open kitchen/living area or go down to the waterside gathering area to grill, eat, lounge. Also, I don't know about you, but I want to be sure the bed linens are clean so I only stay in places with duvet covers that are washed. The king and queen room are duvet covers instead of spreads. When you see printed bedspreads in condo photos there is a chance they are not washed between guests. Another reason I chose this property is that I like to fish. The fact that this area is called The Narrows as the intracoastal is more narrow there along with the fact that the dock extends much further out than other docks and you are right near the middle of the intracoastal with very deep water and big fish. The dolphins actually come in closer than the end of the dock sometimes! There is comfortable seating on the dock also. This is a unique property that I had my eye on for 8 years before being able to buy a unit.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the above benefits, I love that the balcony can be enclosed or open the sliders for the ocean breezes. The wind can get quite chilly or uncomfortable on the balconies so now I can sit there all year round. I love that it is a small complex so the pool is often unused and I can just float. One of the best things is that it is so close to all the favorite hangouts and restaurants. I work from home so the high speed internet, desk, printer and quiet back bedroom are perfect! Sometimes I work on the balcony! Unlike some places, the condo is quiet so I can do work zooms. I take breaks by crossing the street to the beach and going for a walk. I also love how I can cook, watch tv, and see the water and boats going by. So peaceful.
