The ideal vacation destination

This was our 4th time staying at this property because it’s that good!!!! The location is perfect, you have the beach across the street, all of the little shops and restaurants on the strip where the condo is located, the nearest Publix is about a 15 min drive, and the airport is about 20 min away too. The condo itself is very accommodating for all of your vacation necessities. Karl, the host, is one of the most wonderful people you could meet. He’s very quick to respond, extremely accommodating, and does a wonderful job at maintaining the property in great condition. You will not be disappointed if you stay here! We can’t wait to come back again!

Amazing location and condo.

First time to Indian Shores. This condo and location was perfect. The dock in the back was great for fishing and watching dolphins. Very secluded and relaxing. The beach is a short walk across the street. Everything you would need for the beach is provided even a cart to haul chairs to and from the beach. Condo was very clean and spacious. Karl was an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I lost my diamond from my wedding ring on this trip. I let Karl know just in case he would happen to find it. Karl’s cleaning crew found it and Karl personally drove it to my brother in laws house It’s nice to know there are still honest caring people. I’m forever grateful to Karl and his cleaning crew. Can’t wait to return to this hidden gem.

Awesome place!

We had an incredible time at Captain’s Cove! It was the perfect place for our family. Our boys loved going down to the dock to fish in the evenings and the beach was so close! It was so easy to get there from the condo and we loved the proximity to all of the shops a s restaurants. We saw dolphin from the balcony every day. Karl was a wonderful host and even left a few surprises for us! We can’t wait to come back again!

We Can Not Wait to Stay Again

We stay at this location in 2023 and we loved it so much, we stayed again. The property has everything you need. It is just a short walk to the beach and has a lovely dock to fish off of in the back. The neighbors are so nice and welcoming. The owner is great! We received the check in information before arriving and he stayed in contact with us while we were there. We can not wait to stay again. Love this place!

Beach Vacation

The condo was beautiful! Very spacious and had all the amenities. Loved the balcony with the wonderful views of the intracoastal. Close walk to the beach. The only issue we had was the fact you could hear the people upstairs at times.

Wonderful condo in minutes from the beach

We loved this place! It was superclean, big and well equipped. Karl is an outstanding host: caring, generous and kind. There are a lot to appreciate about this condo. The location is amazing - the beach is literally across the street. There are plenty of towels, beach toys, chairs, etc. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you may ever need inclusive of spices. We stayed for a month and enjoyed every single day there. We are planning to come back for sure. Thank you, Karl!

Best VRBO experience ever!

This was the the most pleasant and enjoyable renting experience we’ve ever had! Whether it’s been with VRBO, rental agencies or whatever the case, Karl was an absolutely exceptional host!!! The condo was amazing with the water view and short walk to the beach! Everything we could imagine was there for our stay, and even a few unexpected gifts along the way! Thanks again for those Karl!!! We will remember this vacation forever and will hopefully be back in the very near future!!!

Wonderful, beautiful place!

I can not say enough about this place! Beautiful, great location, everything we needed and more. Easy access to the beach, food and places to shop. Owner was AMAZING! We had all information well ahead of arriving. We had a gift waiting for us in the fridge. A yummy cake. He messaged several times asking if we needed anything or had any issues with the place. We did not. He even gave us a parting gift before we left. WILL STAY AGAIN!

Simple tranquility

Just loved this place ! It was just as the pictures stated. Comfortable beds, clean with everything you could ask for during your stay. Favorite place was the covered lanai. So peaceful sitting there just watching the lightning show while the rain came down. Was just what we were looking for and not too far from the things you would need. Would definately stay here again. Karl was the most thoughtful owner we have come across. He aims to please. Mission accomplished!

Best vacation EVER!

The location of this property was absolutely perfect. It's got a longer driveway which we liked, so we felt kind of hidden from the main road. Also, the location is one of few quiet portions of Golf Blvd, which made us feel more at home and not just tourists... and the beach access was almost right across the street, which was great. The view from the patio was beautiful! There is a private pier where we saw manatees and sting rays while watching the sunrise. Karl has everything you could possibly need for cooking, sleeping, and going to the beach. The unit was super clean, and actually Karl messaged us as soon as the cleaning crew left, allowing us to access the unit early! My communication with Karl (the host) was top notch. He messaged me periodically to make sure things were going smoothly, and I really appreciated him being so attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better property host for our vacation. If I had it my way, I'd return here every year. Thank you so much for everything during our stay. I would recommend you 100 times over!

The view from intercostal was beautiful as we saw dolphins and a manatee. Everything was great from start to finish. Pool was great and the beach was right across the road. The owner was great to work with and we are looking to book for next year only for a longer period of time.

Escape the winter weather

We were two widows looking for an escape from winter. We found it in Indian Shores. The condo was clean and well stocked with towels, beach chairs and just about anything you might need. The host was fantastic, answered any questions very promptly and reached out to us even when we had no questions/problems. He left a Key Lime pie for us and a gift.

The condo was very comfortable and we felt right at home. The owner communicated with us to ensure that we were happy and that there were no issues. The property was central to the areas that we wanted to travel to so it was an excellent staging area. The property was very clean and well stocked.

Karl was an amazing host: super helpful and responsive with any questions and the condo was impressively clean. It’s quite a large comfortable space with all the amenities you want on vacation. The beds were comfy and we loved looking out on the waterway everyday. The gorgeous beach is just a short walk away and such a family friendly beach with incredible soft white sand. The surrounding areas are awesome to explore- we loved everything and didn’t want to leave. Karl really takes care of his guests and treated us like family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
