About this property

Top Floor Penthouse, Corner Unit with Gorgeous Panoramic Water Views!

If you're looking for a luxuriously comfortable, peaceful waterfront retreat, look no further! We have a panoramic, unobstructed view of the intracoastal, and stunning sunrises. Enjoy afternoon and evening shade on the comfortable, spacious, east-facing balcony, while you watch manatee, dolphins, birds and boats on the Intracoastal. You can also glimpse the glorious Indian Shores sunsets over the Gulf, from the balcony of our top floor condo. (Please note: Due to high demand, the months of January and February are only offered from the first of the month to the end of the month. Booking between both months requires a 6-week minimum rental commitment).

This beautiful 1,535 sq. ft. condo is in pristine condition. It was formerly owned by a famous Tampa Bay Buccaneer, and is a 3 minute walk to the beach, right across the street. Perfect for retired couples and snowbirds. There simply isn't a better view of the intracoastal waterway in Indian Shores!

Tastefully decorated, with luxury and comfort in mind. It features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen with newer appliances (fridge has 2 icemakers), pantry, granite counter tops, and a comfortable open-concept living area with great views of the Intra-coastal Waterway. Water views from both bedrooms and kitchen, as well.

Pergo waterproof wood plank flooring in family room and bedrooms adds beauty and peace of mind against accidental spills. The 9 foot ceilings make this home feel very spacious and open, as do the 2 skylights in the entry hallway. New PGT impact windows and sliding doors were installed in 2023.

There is a private fishing pier onsite, a heated chlorinated pool with bathhouse and outdoor shower, and an elevator. Our convenient front door keypad eliminates the need to carry keys.

Spacious Master bedroom features an ultra plush Euro pillowtop mattress and walk-in closet. Master bathroom has a roomy walk-in shower, double-sink granite vanity, and stocked linen/towel closet.

Guest room features a king sized pillowtop bed and a single twin bed. There is an ample closet containing some water toys and beach chairs.

The main bathroom features a tub and shower combo, granite vanity, and stocked linen/towel closet. The dining room table seats 6, and the kitchen bar seats 4.

There is a water softener, full-sized HE washer and dryer, newer kitchen appliances, cable tv and high speed WiFi.

The 65" flat screen smart TV in the family room has a swivel wall mount, so you can view the tv from anywhere in the room.
We also feature a leather power recline/power headrest sofa & loveseat. We take pride in our home, and keep it in spotless condition.

The large balcony has comfortable seating for 6, and we've provided binoculars and a bird reference book so you can identify and enjoy the amazing variety of wildlife to be seen there. Dolphins, manatee, osprey, spoonbills, ibis, wood storks, egrets, herons of all sorts, pelicans and ducks are commonly seen. It is truly a bird-watcher's paradise!

We provide a small utility cart for you to use during your stay, to bring luggage and groceries up and down in the elevator.

The short walk to the beach is easy. At the end of the driveway, look left, and you can see the 198th Avenue Beach Access (see the map on this page, for reference). There is a pedestrian crosswalk with a manual lighted traffic signal for safety, as well. If you haven't experienced an Indian Shores sunset from the beach, you are missing something special! Added bonus, we are not in walking distance to the public beach access, so at times it feels like your own private stretch of beach!

The convenient and affordable Suncoast beach trolley runs daily up and down Gulf Boulevard from Clearwater Beach to St. Pete, with stops near our condo. There is also a convenience store and ice cream shop right next door, within walking distance.

We are conveniently located, and close to great restaurants, great shopping (Johns Pass is a must), and recreational equipment rentals to use at the beach or in the intracoastal. Disney World is only 2 hours away, and we are close to Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa Bay Rays sporting events!

Fabulous Vacation Stay
Lisa and Chris's home was absolutely wonderful! Very clean, beautiful interior, stocked with everything you would possibly need. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises with coffee on the balcony in the morning and gorgeous sunset views from the front balcony, if we didn't make the short walk to the beautiful beach to watch it. Lisa was very helpful and fast with responding to any questions. We had the best vacation ever, Thank you !!

Beautiful Vacation
Lisa and Chris home was fabulous. It gave us the privacy we wanted and afforded us with beautiful scenery and a location that was ideal. Everything was close by which made our walks enjoyable. The neighbors are friendly and the whole complex was clean. The condo has everything you need to feel at home. Just bring your clothes.

Best Place in Indian Shores!!
Lisa and Chris are the perfect hosts!! My wife and I have stayed at quite a few places but this one was fantastic. Great communication, clean and neat, it really feels like home. You will see from other reviews that the views are amazing well they are. Pelicans fly by just a few feet away from the deck, actual every morning at 8:30. We saw dolphins, fish, and enjoyed watching the boats go by. The home is beautiful, from the king beds and walk in shower in the master suite, to the fully stocked kitchen with anything that you need to cook. A heated pool in full sum most of the day and 198 Ave beach is a short walk away. Restaurants and nightlife are close by but not to close to disturb this town. Grocery shopping is close and Clearwater, St. Pete, and Tampa are a short ride away. This place is a 10!! Even the cleaning lady is great!!

Amazing View
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo in the Palm Beach complex. Previously we had visited the Indian Shores area on several occasions,however this was by far our best living experience. The condo was very clean and well equipped, with all the amenities for home living. The view from the large balcony was outstanding and we spent countless hours there, watching the boating activity and marine life which abounds on the Intracoastal waterway. We were able to rent a power boat from a rental shop just down the road, which gave us our own boating experience. I highly recommend this home to others and will return again in future years if this beautiful property is available. John and Cecilia Broderick April 2018

Definitely the WOW Factor!!
We have rented this Unit from Lisa and Chris two years in a row. The first time was just after selling our own property, so our expectations were high from several perspectives. After viewing many properties, the moment we walked into this Unit we knew that we found our `home away from home`. Not only is it very well maintained, nicely decorated and equipped, it has a truly spectacular view of the inland waterway. We say, definitely the Wow Factor, because `Wow` is the first word that comes to mind and has actually been uttered by our friends when entering this unit and proceeding down the hallway to the truly amazing view. While we enjoyed the tourist atmosphere of Indian Shores, this unit is just far enough off the main road such that you can choose to be a part of the tourist scene, or just relax and enjoy the tranquility of the inland waterway. We also enjoyed the fact that the building was just three floors (9 units in total) but yet was equipped with an elevator and parking garage. Our thanks to Lisa and Chris for giving us the opportunity to stay in their beautiful Florida home. Dorothy and Don French

A Hidden Treasure
Cannot say enough about our stay at this beautiful condo. We've stayed here for four years and the new owners have raised the bar on this already most accommodating condo. We loved the new balcony furniture where we enjoyed dining under the fan. We were thrilled to see that this condo now accommodates six very comfortably. On the intra-coastal there is always something to see from the fantastic boats passing by, watching all of the dolphins and manatees that swim by daily, and wildlife galore across in the mangroves. It is just a short walk to the beach, so you truly have the best of both worlds.

If you want a quiet but beautiful place to relax - this is it!!
This is a great condo with a great location. Beautiful sunrises and then walk across to the beach to see a gorgeous sunset. The condo is spacious with plenty of room to entertain. The master bedroom is very nice. The condo is on the third floor (no worry, there is an elevator) with great views. If you are a bird watcher, you will see many different species. We also saw dolphin and manatees swimming up the canal. The owner was great to work with and very responsive to questions. We also appreciated that there was covered parking. I highly recommend this location and can't wait to book our next trip there!!

Perfect place for total relaxation - location, unit, views, and wildlife!!!
This is the perfect place to enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle of life. The unit is beautifully decorated and has every convenience you need to rest and relax. Sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views, watch the sunrise, spot the wildlife, and sip your coffee. Indian Shores is the perfect area for walking, biking, and taking it easy, while being so close to anything exciting you may want to do. We had so much fun visiting nearby beaches, cities, and shops during our week here. There is so much to do all within driving distance. And the food - I think I gained five pounds - we only ate at local places. Fresh seafood, Italian, mexican, brick oven pizza, and I could go on!!! I got to come for a girls trip but I cannot WAIT to get back here with the family. LOVE LOVE LOVE this rental. I highly recommend it and the owners are just the sweetest and easist to work with too.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa and Chris Robinson

Host profile image
My husband and I live on a small farm in rural Ohio, and have been married for over 37 years. He's from Ohio, and I'm from LA (Lower Alabama), so the beach has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. We both love traveling and the outdoors, and spending quality time with family and friends. I'm a retired 4th grade teacher and a Bama fan, and he's a retired machinist, and a Buckeye fan. We're interested in lots of things, including organic gardening, amateur wine making, and we even raised honeybees once upon a time.

Why they chose this property

We have rented many beach condos over the years, from Orange Beach, AL down to Marco Island, FL. When we decided to buy our home-away-from-home, we fell in love with the quaint, small-town feel of Indian Shores. We love that there are no towering high-rises here. It is quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything you could possibly need.

What makes this property unique

Without a doubt, we were "sold" when we saw the stunning water view from our balcony, and all the wonderful wildlife to be enjoyed there. Our family, friends and guests call it the "WOW" factor, because that's exactly what everyone says when they first see it. Not to mention the gorgeous sunrises every morning. Ours is hands-down the best intracoastal view in all of Indian Shores, and to us, that's priceless.
