HURRICANE UPDATE: We’re thrilled to share that our beautiful beach community is well on the road to recovery and we are happy to be welcoming back guests!

There will be active construction as we are working to restore all of our ground floor amenities, so please except to experience construction noise. We are hopeful that they will be open by soon!

The new laundry system is excellent, but you need a smart phone to use it. Carts provided for luggage & household items!

Spent many mornings on the balcony enjoying the view. Always love walking on the beach there and appreciate seeing all the different birds. Many places to shop and eat nearby also. Definitely want to return at some point in the future.

Overall Clean but Needs updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was nice and clean and there were lots of extras (beach toys, kitchen items etc) but the condo needs updating - specifically the patio doors. Part of the reason for being beachfront is the view. It was impossible to see it through the old foggy glass of the patio doors. You had to open the doors to enjoy the view (and there aren’t any screens). Appreciated the newer mattress on one of the foldouts in the LR but the other one needs replacing. Bathroom also needs updating. Also, the complex is nice but the pool is too small for the building. It says it’s heated but we were there mid May and the pool was still too cold to enjoy. Probably would not stay there again. For the price, there are better condos in the area (with two bathrooms).

A smooth get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in this unit very much, everything was satisfactory and we did appreciate this beach front location. There was just a little problem with the elevator that went out of service at least four times while we were there; this failure becomes serious when you cannot climb the stairs up to the fourth floor but besides that we have nothing to complain about.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the condo, but we disappointed that we couldn't use the pool until Sunday of our stay. And a bit unset that on Friday Oct. 12th the way to the beach was blocked. We had to go around the next condo complex to get to the beach, having waited for an hour or so because the workers stated that it would be open in 20 minutes.

A Little Taste of Paradise.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I recently spent a week in Unit 403, a condo in the vacation rental building called The Chateaux, located on Gulf Blvd. in Indian Shores, Florida. I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience there from start to finish. The unit rental is managed by Florida Lifestyles Vacation Rentals Inc. Their staff are very professional, and it was very easy to secure the rental from Canada. Upon arrival, it was also easy to pick up my unit's keys, and I was provided with a neat package with paperwork pertaining to the rental. The Chateaux building is very clean and well maintained. It is located on a beautiful section of ocean beachfront, and has a very nice heated swimming pool as well. My unit was spotlessly clean on my arrival. I am pretty particular, and it certainly met with my approval. The unit had a very nice layout, was well appointed, and felt very comfortable from the moment I arrived. The view of the beach and ocean off of the balcony was amazing. There are many nice restaurants and golf courses nearby, and it is close enough to Clearwater if you want access to shopping and more restaurants, without the high density hustle and bustle of that area. I played golf at Mainlands in Pinellas Park, about 25 minutes away, and quite liked it. It's a very nice course for an average golfer. One of the restaurants that I particularly enjoyed was The Island Way Grill in Clearwater. A very nice location, with a great outdoor patio overlooking the inland waterway, good food and service, and reasonable prices. Overall, I had a great stay, and have already booked for 2 weeks at The Chateaux next year!
