About this property

Intracoastal Balcony View, Building located directly on the Beach

We have power, cable/wifi, water and the beaches are open. Our elevator is currently working with a hitch. The 4th/6th/PH buttons do not work when you are inside the elevator. We could not know what other issues would arise until we put in the board to see what else is needed. You can hit the other floors and walk up or down to the floors you need until we can get the buttons installed. Our contractor is checking their warehouse if they have them in stock. If they do not we will have to order them. The call buttons in the hallways to call the elevator to the floors do work on each floor. (October 22 2024)

Due to storm damage from Hurricane Helene the pool, BBQ area, shuffleboard are currently not available for use until further notice. (October 4th 2024)

5th Floor facing the Intracoastal with the building itself directly located on the beach, offers the perfect combination of tranquil water views and all the amenities of an upscale hotel. We are centrally located in the heart of the world's famous beaches making our condo one of the best Indian Shores rentals for leisure and business travelers alike. We offer our guests exceptional personalized service. We hope that a stay with us will evoke both luxury and full relaxation and leaving you wanting to come back and visit us again. This unit is definitely worth a try.

Holiday Villas III amenities include elevator, wireless internet, outdoor heated pool, BBQ area, shuffleboard, fishing dock and private boat dock located across the street on the Intracoastal Waterway.


* * * * CONSTRUCTION NOTICE * * * *

Due to storm surge the pool/BBQ area are not useable until further notice (Oct 4 2024)

The balcony is not useable (August 20th 2024) until further notice.

The Holiday Villas III board of directors has informed us Holiday Villas III Condominium will undergo an exterior balcony, concrete and painting restoration project beginning in late February 2023 into mid-late 2025. This project, as with many other condominium projects currently underway in our area, is partially due to recent Milestone Inspection requirements put in place by the State of Florida in 2022. While there are no immediate structural deficiencies related to Holiday Villas III the board has approved repair work for exterior balconies, concrete and painting.

Unless the listing specifically states the pool is closed then the pool is open.

Crews will work their way around the building throughout the project starting on the North side and working counterclockwise. Only while your unit stack section is being actively worked on (railings removed and replaced) will you possibly not have access to your balcony during parts of your stay. Most balconies will be open and fully useable during the project. The biggest impacts from this project will be noise during working hours and with parking adjustments during your stay (some parking may be moved across the street into our overflow parking lot.) Typical construction hours will be Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm.

The pool will remain open during most of the construction process except when work is being done on those units directly above the pool deck area which we are estimating late 2024-2025. We have been informed it will only be closed during working hours. It will be open when they are done working and on the weekends. Closed ONLY during working hours. If anything changes you will be notified

Please feel free to contact us to get a better understanding of the progress of the project and best units available for your dates and different date options. Pricing has been updated for the construction work and are final. No other refunds will be given. Thank you for your continued support of Holiday Villas III as we strive to keep your favorite vacation rental property in great shape for years to come. * * * * * * * * * *


The Holiday Villas III Board of Directors has mandated that wristbands will be required of all guests and owners on property during Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day holidays. Wristbands will be provided at check-in. ONLY DURING THE THREE HOLIDAYS MENTIONED, NO OTHER TIME FRAME.

Guest/Owners in 2-bedroom 2-bath units will only receive 6 wristbands and 1-bedroom 1-bath units will receive 4 wristbands.

Wristbands must always be worn while on property. Anyone not wearing a valid wristband will be escorted off property. Wristbands are NOT replaceable – DO NOT lose or misplace them. In addition to wrist bands we will also have additional security on property during the aforementioned holidays to assist with wristband compliance, crowd control and trespassing issues.

It was the perfect amount of space for my daughter, granddaughter, and myself. The access to beach chairs and umbrella were great because they actually worked. Unlike the other places we have stayed.

Beautiful beach location
This condo & property met all of our expectations. The condo was clean and fully equipped for all our needs. The pool is beautifully maintained with the dunes and short walkway to the beach. We were so happy to find beach chairs, and pool/beach towels. Everyone was friendly, and with lots of room, it did not feel crowded. I would highly recommend it. There was some construction going on at the other end of the building. That was a little noisy and distracting at times. We did fine regardless. Highly recommend!

Relaxing stay, great location
Great location, and the unit was just as described. There was some construction going on (but that was communicated well from the property manager). Loved the easy access to the beach, and the pool area was always kept clean and organized. The condo itself was well equipped with anything you’d need. We loved the extra pillows and blankets and the beds were SO comfortable.

Celebrating our 20th
We had a great stay. The weather was beautiful, the beach was at our fingertips. Very clean, simple, quiet, and nice way to spend the week in Florida. No real complaints, work was being done one the building but they were upfront about that before we came down and paid.

Easy access to beautiful beach, unwelcoming atmosphere
First and foremost, this condo has wonderful access to the pool and beach with minimal walking. Truly as far as easy access, I don't think you can beat this! Online info is accurate about the room. On the surface the room was clean, but when we opened the sofa bed or moved something to plug devices in, it was gross. Interaction with the property owner and the property manager felt rude. I needed to modify our reservation dates within the cancellation time, and when it didn't accurately go through VRBO, it felt tricky to get to a solution. We got there, but it was through short, curt messages from the owner. I tried calling the property manager to ask some questions in advance. There was never an answer or a return call. I emailed and requested a phone call and he responded to just email him with my questions. Once we arrived, the elevator and common areas are filled with warnings and unwelcoming signs. We've stayed at multiple VRBOs before; we understand there are strict rules to follow. However, we were bombarded with signs that you'll be kicked out with no refunds, $500 fines, jail time for pets, if you can't find your car, call this towing company. It felt unwelcoming. My children were shocked by the tone. This unit lists on VRBO for 6 people. When I asked for 2 more beach towels, the property manager told me I was in a room for 4 several times. (There are beds for 6 and that's how I reserved the room). Hospitality and cleanliness just left a lot to be desired.

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Marchesini

Host profile image
We are Stephen and Arleen and we are originally from NY/NJ. We decided to leave winter behind and move to paradise. It has always been our dream to own a house on the water. Sun, sand, warm water - it is all we could have ever asked for.

What makes this property unique

From this newly renovated unit you can watch the boats go by all day long. You can bring your own boat or rent a boat for this unit has a boat dock available for use. This building has the best of both water features, one side is the Gulf of Mexico and the other side is the Inter-coastal waterway with no buildings or obstructions. Its like being on an island with all the conveniences of home, your favorite activities and with beautiful relaxing places to visit.
