The best condo!
We had a wonderful stay!! After last minute decisions to cancel our resort reservation in St Pete (due to bad reviews), I found this gem of a rental and I’m so glad we did! It was clean and very well stocked. Beach supplies included! Steps from the sand. Pool was great for us and we were often the only ones in the pool.

Great Place to Stay
Beautiful condo just steps from the beach was a great place for 3 couples to spend the week enjoying sun and fun. Hanging out on the large patio with its beautiful view of the ocean was our favorite spot to enjoy happy hour and sunsets. Lots of space, wonderful amenities, well stocked kitchen, were all so appreciated. Lots of extras - even fresh flowers from the owners welcoming us. This is one of the most spacious and well maintained places we have stayed. Pool area was very nice and quiet - some days we even had it to ourselves. Highly recommend this property - it has everything you need and then some and was one of the best rentals we have had in our travels so far. Would love to come back!

Excellent Ocean-front Getaway 2021
While the exterior of the property could benefit from a makeover/updating, our condo was excellent in side and and great amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was secluded and no crowds, awesome beach and pool and still close to lots of outdoor activities. Everything from Indian Rock Beach to John's Pass with unlimited restraunts, beaches, stores, etc. We will definitely be a returning guest to this area and would certainly rent this condo again.

Great Vacation Destination
We loved our stay at the property. It was close to everything and the beach was not crowded. Super easy check in process. SO many positives to this place. The only negative was we were hot at night. The air couldn’t be turned down any lower and the ceiling fans were very wobbly and made noise when they ran. We definitely plan to stay here again.

This condo was absolutely fabulous! Our family could not have been happier with this vacation. The layout was perfect for our group, the furnishings were comfortable, and the owner made sure we had EVERY thing we could possibly need. There were special touches (flowers upon arrival, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, etc) that were so thoughtful. We will definitely find a way to return to this condo and the quaint beach town it is in.

A Great Week
My family and I were extremely happy with our stay. The location on the beach is great and it is very close to the restaurants and things to do in the area. The cost for the week was more than we have paid in the past for beach front Condos but we decided to splurge this year since we have been locked down for so long due to Covid. We are happy we spent the extra money and hope it doesn't ruin us for staying in less expensive properties in the future...lol Thank you to the owners for a great week, it was just what we needed. We hope to be back one day.

Relaxation & Rejuvenation & Beautiful View
We traveled as a family seeking a beautiful setting to reconnect and rest for a week and we found it! Property was clean, rental reality company was very responsive and the ocean view was incredible. We watched the sunset every night. This area is a nice walking distance south to John’s Passing with a lot of evening activity and shops about a 7 minute drive to Treasure Island. This is a more quiet area with plenty of space on the beach. To the north is Clearwater with many activities. Restaurants are strong along Gulf Boulevard, great variety of Italian, pizza, Mexican and more. It’s also a short drive to Tampa where there’s a Zoo and city life. The owners have thought of every detail. Beautiful area!

It was all terrific. The only issue was one of the TV’s losing the picture, which can happen in any situation. The owners were helpful and their communication was friendly and supportive. We would certainly recommend this property.

Great Location, Outstanding Views
Large, very clean 3-bedroom condo in a smaller building (4 floors, 12+/- units). Elevator made move in/out and grocery shopping easy even though we were just 1 floor up from the ground. Wide, shaded, wrap-around balcony with ample furniture provided a great spot to gather and enjoy wonderful views of the beach and gulf. The beach is only about 50 feet from the condo, so within a few steps you are on the sand. The beach itself is fairly wide even at high tide and perfect for relaxing, walking or running, bocce ball, wading, swimming, standup paddle boarding or kayaking. Occasional dolphin or manatee sightings add a little excitement as well. An oceanfront pool was another great spot to spend time when not at the beach or on the balcony. The condo itself was very clean, nicely furnished and well equipped with kitchen utensils, cookware, appliances, beach accessories (chairs, umbrellas, coolers), etc. The rooms, except for the bathrooms, were generally large and comfortable. As an added bonus the owners provided a vase of fresh flowers on our arrival. With several restaurants and bars within a 5 to 20 minute walk (or a few minutes drive) the location was well-suited for our needs. Overall a comfortable and relaxing place to spend some quality time with family and friends. Highly recommended.

Recommend!
This was a beautiful property and great location! Everything was very clean and well maintained. There were plenty of towels, necessities for cooking, and even lots of beach chairs to use. Things I’m very glad we thought to bring was laundry pods, dishwashing pods, and additional toilet paper. Some of these items were provided but being there a week we required more so it was good we brought it (or there was a Publix about 5 minutes away). The beach was fantastic as well and not crowded, which was really nice considering the current environment. We were able to sit and relax and just enjoy each other. I highly recommend this property!

Can’t wait to come back!
Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here! Although we were a bit disappointed because of the noise from the construction site next to this complex, it could not take anything away from our stay in this luxurious unit! It is literally the perfect place to stay! The spacious living area was amazing and the kitchen left nothing to be desired. The unit is decorated beautifully and the furnishings are very comfortable! The beach chairs and towels were very nice and a pleasant surprise. The wrap around balcony was perfectly furnished for a beautiful sunrise breakfast or an evening dinner with stunning views of sunset. If I had to suggest any improvement, it would be to have had a larger bathtub or walk-in shower......it gets the job done but, not much room to move around. Evidently, that’s something I can live with because we have already booked it again for another week this summer! The owners and property manager were exceptionally great to work with. Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality! Mark & Marsha~Kentucky #PrayOutLoud

Truly Beautiful!!
The property was amazing! It was extremely clean and well decorated. The bed in the master bedroom was super comfortable. It was very modern and left you wanting for nothing. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels available for using. It also had a good amount of starter supplies for kitchen and bath. Above all this was the amazing view!!! It was outstanding. As soon as you walk in the living room it was just beautiful to look through all the full length windows and doors! We also had a member of our party on the porch almost all the time. You are very close to the pool and beach so it's possible to see members of your family at both locations. There were plenty of seats in the kitchen, the living room and the porch for all to use. They also had beach chairs, beach towels and boards which we made good use of the whole week. It was very nice not to have to bring those things from home. The beach was not crowded at all where we were and it almost felt like we were alone at times. We would definitely recommend this unit to others and we would love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Patty and Fred Kilbourn

Host profile image
The Kilbourn family is from Suttons Bay, Michigan. Fred and Patty and their children, Fred and Melissa, operated a family run bed and breakfast, Lee Point Inn from 1990 until 2018 and now host a short-term rental in Traverse City, MI.

Why they chose this property

As Michigan winters seemed to be getting longer and colder, we wanted to find a warm place for family vacations. Patty is a California native and was looking for a beautiful beach and palm trees. Sunshine on Indian Shores is perfect for our family. We wanted to be on the gulf in a smaller complex with 3 bedrooms.

What makes this property unique

This home exceeds our expectations in so many ways. Because it is a smaller complex, it has a very home like feel. It is a southwest facing corner unit with 550 feet of wrap around balcony off the living room and is very spacious with 1760 square feet of living space, large bedrooms, wonderful natural light with south facing windows in all the rooms. We purchased this condo in 2014 as a fixer upper and it is completely renovated, including a new kitchen and bathrooms. It also features covered parking with a secured lobby entrance. We enjoy sharing it with other travelers. The view is spectacular!
