Simply Perfect Beach Escape!

We loved everything about our stay!The condo was comfortable, clean and quiet with lovely beachy, updated decor. There was more than enough room for 5 of us with a great layout. We appreciated all the special touches and the big, beautiful kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The views of the ocean are breathtaking from both inside and out! We enjoyed the large, private balcony and easy access to the beach/pool area. The kids loved the closet filled with beach toys etc… Highly recommend !

Great Vacation with Minor Issues

The property was just as described. It was very clean and very well stocked with many extras. It even included beach chairs and other various beach related items. The only reason I couldn’t give a perfect score was the bed in the master bedroom collapsed twice during our stay. After communicating with the owner found they were aware of the issue and planned to fix in the future.

Great Sunsets

This was our first time staying in this area and it was absolutely great. The condo was exactly like the pictures showed (pictures can be deceiving) and it was so well equipped there was definitely nothing lacking. The condo was clean, well maintained and the owners provided lots of information for first time visitors. We would definitely rent this unit again, hopefully next winter!

A Beachy Christmas

We had a great time spending Christmas at Indian Shores beach. Even though it turned colder than expected, we still enjoyed the beautiful condo and the beach. Sand Castle 503 was immaculate and so well equipped. We had everything we needed for preparing Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas brunch. Amanda was great to work with and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Brightman

Host profile image
Glenn and I lived in the Tampa/St. Pete area before moving to Charlotte, NC. We missed being close to the Gulf and looked for 4 years before finding the perfect condo for our family vacations. In those 4 years it became apparent that the owners of the condos that we rented rarely or never stayed in their condos. For us, one of the best parts of owning a vacation condo is that we can visit it and make it better every time we are there. We love sharing our special piece of paradise with our guests and hope that you love it as much as we do!

We have renovated the condo with a high level of quality and style for your comfort and enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

We visited Indian Shores often when we lived in Florida and when we were looking for a condo we agreed that this was the most beautiful part of the Tampa Bay/St. Pete Gulf Coast. Indian Shores is a quaint beach town with great restaurants, bike/walking lanes and lots and lots of white powdery sand.

What makes this property unique

Our condo offers fantastic sunsets viewed from our large balcony, the convenience of a full kitchen and ensuite laundry, comfortable furniture and many extras that enhance our guests' stay. We provide all you need for a relaxing vacation - you provide the bathing suit. For those who need to work or study while relaxing at the beach, our unit has excellent WiFi coverage. Just kick back and listen to the waves while you enjoy the sunset!
