Comfortable property with nice views.
Spent 2 weeks here with 4 adults part of the time. Comfortable accommodations. Nice fine white sand beach. Weather was variable in early Feb. but the St. Petersburg area has attractions other than the beach. We enjoyed the time there.

Our stay in Indian Shores
Place was well furnished and comfortable. However, the floor was very dirty & needs a good scrubbing. Also, book with info needs to be updated. Conflicted with instructions on fridge. Not sure which to follow so did the best we could. Codes were a pain since we weren’t used to dealing with them in the past, but we understood why they are necessary. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

Beach was amazing however we will find another condo for our next stay
this was a difficult property to find in regards to which unit and which parking garage. the unit had some prior damage from another guest and had some mold issues in the bathrooms. the elevator was out during part of our stay and we were locked out of the stairwell until another guest came down the stairs(unclear that we would need keys in addition to the codes) the hot and cold water faucets were in reverse in the guest bathroom the hot tub was out of order the overall cleanliness and ventilation of the main entrance and elevator were lacking.

Vacation
Property was exactly as advertised. Check-in process was simple, the property was clean and extremely convenient for beach and travel around the area. The views from the balcony were just as described in the profile. The beach chairs and umbrellas could use a little upgrading, but they were sufficient. Thanks for hosting!

The MOST HONEST REVIEW YOU'LL EVER READ
Okay so this is going to be the most honest review. The condo isn’t the most clean. The rugs were dirty (all of them)! The air returns could use more cleaning, the grout in the bathrooms were black and needs to be replaced. The furnishings in the living room and dining room needs to be replaced. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen utensils need to be replaced! I made my kids wear socks the whole time. Not to let their feet walk on the dirty floors. The balcony door doesn’t lock (dangerous). The rims of the toilets were filthy and black. Apparently the cleaners forgot to clean them. The bath tub in the guest bedroom was meh, the master bathroom shower was meh as well. The shower piece kept falling off. Ick! When we traveling we expect the place to look like the pictures. Nope! If you want a nice clean place to stay, this isn’t it. You need to keep looking. If you’re just needing a place to stay for a few days, then it won’t matter. The owners need to realize when renting condos, there’s normal wear and tear and then there’s a need to replace the old and worn out. This is one of those times. Stop renting to people if you can’t afford to keep the place in good working, and clean conditions for renters. It’s nasty and it gives greedy vibes.

Great space with fantastic views
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Beach Cottage. This unit was spacious and well-equipped. It looked exactly as pictured and was larger than we expected. The entire vibe was upscale beach. The three balconies provided beautiful views of both the Intercoastal and the Gulf. There was plenty of space in the living room/ dining room area to have family over and the furniture was comfortable for everyone. The pack and play in the second bedroom came in handy for naps for my nephew. Access to the beach was super convenient and the beach was gorgeous. On the downside, Verizon cell reception was very poor inside the condo. We plugged in the Internet phones that were provided (thank you so much!) and shared that number with family so they could reach us. Make sure to plug those phones in when you arrive so they have time to charge before you try to use them. Also, It appeared the only way to access the pool is up a steep concrete staircase from the parking garage. It seemed like it would be slippery when wet and I would not recommend the stairs for anyone who has difficulty walking or keeping their balance. Please be aware if you plan to use a pool. The location was close to Park Blvd, which made it easy to get across the Intercoastal. The management team was super helpful and responsive to questions. We had zero issues with the visit. Even with unseasonably cold, rainy, and windy weather, we had a wonderful time and will return.

Beautiful location and condo!
We only got to stay a few nights after a Universal Studios trip. I wish we could have stayed longer. The condo was very nice with a big master bedroom /bath. They included little things that are much appreciated like towels, goggles and sand toys for the kids, extra blankets and pillows and paper towels. The beach was exactly like the picture. We had a great couple of days enjoying the gulf!

Exactly what we wanted!
The condo looked as good in person as it did in the pictures. We stayed for a long weekend with our kids. Access to the beach was easy, and we could leave our stuff out there all day while we took breaks from the sun or went to the pool. There are plenty of restaurants in the area if you don't want to cook. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants some quality beach time!
