Good for families but..

If you are staying with children this is the place for you, if you are older adults looking for relaxation this place is not it. The condo was neat and clean, tv was difficult to use, the toilets filled very slowly, but the showers had good pressure. Since the condo is located right above the pool on the second floor its very noisy and loud and overrun by kids jumping in and out of the pool and hottub until all hours of the night, there was no order and they didnt follow the rules. The beach was nice and close we rented the loungers and umbrella ,well worth the money. Leaving the condo we were given instructions on washing towels,sheets and dishwasher something the cleaning service should do. Renting the van was a total hastle, constant texting, too many instructions and expectations. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra few bucks and rent a car at the airport.

Our Beach vacation

We absolutely loved every minute of our vacation in this condo. From having a parking spot in the garage, using the shopping cart to take luggage in the elevators, to the moment we walked in the condo and saw the views of the ocean is just breathtaking. From walking out on the balcony overlooking the pool and beach is just wonderful. We had everything we needed to cook with and the barbecue grills were very clean and easy to use and loved having the umbrellas over the grill area to give us shade while grilling. The beach was never too crowded and we never worried about our stuff on the beach while we were in the water. The outdoor shower stations when you come back from the beach was really nice and clean. The pool never really got too crowded and the hot tub was nice too. The condo had plenty of room for all 5 of us. We have been coming to Indian Shores since 2014 and absolutely love this area and we’ve always felt safe and never had any problems with it being too crowded. We will definitely be staying at this location again. I can’t say it enough about how wonderful this place is.

Awesome!!!

The description of this vacation unit and location is completely accurate but does not do it justice!! Perfect location for beach and variety of nearby activities, short distance from cities. Well-maintained property and unit close to elevator with numbered and covered parking. Gorgeous decor, fabulous well-equipped kitchen, huge balcony overlooking pool, hot tub, and beach, sleeps eight in three bedrooms. Reasonably priced. Owner is very accommodating and responsive to communication. The only issue was cable TV not functioning, which is being addressed. Love it!!!

Great location

Phil was extremely great with communication and accommodating. He went above and beyond making sure we were fully satisfied with our stay. We enjoyed the location as it was super close to Clearwater and St Petersburg. We loved that it wasn’t busy with traffic and it was more of a local vibe. It had great local restaurants and bakeries. The property had a great location of the beach and pool access. My kids enjoyed the ping pong table and I enjoyed the little library available. We enjoyed our family getaway!

Condo was great. Philip was very responsive and helpful. Seen dolphins daily in the am on the balcony. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Plenty of space for the family. Close distance from legoland, Busch Gardens, John’s pass, and plenty of restaurants. caddy’s is directly across the street and food is great. Kids loved the pool. Would stay here again!

Sandcastle II great location in Indian Shores

First time staying at Sandcastle II but hopefully not my last. Great communication with the owner before and during my stay. The condo is beautifully decorated and was very spacious. Very well stocked with starter items as well as some beach items, cooler and lots of kitchen cookware although we didn't cook much. Grouper sandwich at Caddys (across the street) was delicious! The grounds on site has a deluxe Weber grill setup that we really wanted to use one night but never got around to but maybe next trip. We also took our senior pet with us and she did really well and enjoyed her vacation as well. Looking forward to returning Philip!

Perfect location!

Owner was nice but slightly repetitive on rules about the rental. Lots of texting & repeating which could be offensive to some renters. As a rental manager myself, I understand the chances taken renting your property out and damages that could result. On vacation I do not want to be texted daily! Other than that, property was very spacious & modern with amazing view of the beach & water. Dolphins daily and location was the best! Peaceful and very quiet! Definitely would highly recommend and will go back often!

Nice unit, nice area, unprofessional and difficult owner.

Way too many long, repetitive, patronizing, and unnecessary instruction texts and telephone calls from this extremely unprofessional owner, resulting with me having to tell him to never text or telephone me again and filing complaint with VRBO. Owner expects guests to fill out checklist, strip beds, wash linens and towels, and made requests throughout the week for other things around the unit to be done that should be handled by housekeeping staff, not guests. Owner was untruthful about automatic air conditioning system and wouldn't lower the thermostat below 78 degrees until I threatened to leave and take it up with VRBO. Owner called me a “knucklehead” because I hadn't booked directly through him after I had already booked online in April and couldn't cancel. Parking spaces under building are very tight and hard to locate due to a weird numbering system. All the larger vehicles were parked outside. Owner responded promptly to have issues with electrical outlet and balcony doors resolved. Unit and area are nice, but we booked our next visit with Plumlee Realty for this same building, different unit. Judging from his reaction to any negative comments on VRBO reviews, I expect that this owner will paint me as demanding and unreasonable and will make excuses and disagree with my comments in his reply to this review.

Indian shores Sand Castle II

This condo was overall okay. The cleanliness was a 3/5 stars due to the staining on comforters in the queen beds room, the pool of water still under the kitchen rug (I’m assuming from mopping), the mildew of the washer, and unkeep/unclean kitchenware (scrubbed eggs off of spatulas). The condo only had 6 towels… this condo can sleep up to 8 guests. The utensils needs updating. The thermostat needed attention roughly every 2-3 hours as it has a “hold” option (that we could not cancel) which requires you to manually turn down the AC to lowest 71°, otherwise it would turn to 74°. The parking was tricky at first due to the appointed parking spot was only big enough for a Toyota Camry, not any bigger. Phil informed us of a spot we could could my in-laws suburban. Overall I gave this location a 4/5. Beautiful beach and fun area to visit!

Will look elsewhere for next rental in Clearwater area

We are annual Florida beachfront condo renters. The beach is of course beautiful but for the high price, the property was disappointing. The condo Parking spots are not in order so it’s extremely difficult to find the (1) assigned spot. There were 7 towels when the condo sleeps 8 and no beach towels. It could also have been cleaner, washing machine had gunk in it, dishes were not clean and so we washed them before use. Kitchen could be more well stocked. There were only 4 mismatched wine glasses, not a single large bowl and no baking dishes just cookie sheets. We also found the owner to be unprofessional.

Great location / Relaxing family fun

Awesome owner; very involved with frequent communications before and during stay. The 3 Bedroom unit is nice / well equipped and furnished, but better suited for 6 people than 8 because of only having 2 bathrooms, but worth the space sacrifice for the location. Loved the balcony overlooking the pool and beach; beautiful sun sets. Family had a great time at the beach, pool, and local restaurants / activities.
