My friend and I had a great stay, the place was very clean and had plenty of space. The pool and hot tub was awesome and we could walk right out to the beach. Overall we had a great time.
I stayed at this condo for a week with my wife and three kids, and it was perfect for us. The beach is only steps away, and was very clean and not crowded. We loved the stairs down from the balcony to the pool and hot tub. We also met several other condo owners and visitors and everyone was very friendly for the most part. If you are looking for a place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation, look no further!
We enjoyed the stay at this condo. It was perfect with the spiral staircase leading down to the pool and beach access. The owner is very communicative and kind.
We absolutely loved this property! Convenient to everything we needed! Loved the location and the beach access was perfect! Definitely would stay here again! The only downfall to this trip was Hurricane Helene!!! We had a mandatory evacuation on day 4 and had to leave 3 days early! Other than that, I give it a 10+
This was a wonderful condo. Very spacious and exactly what we needed for our family to relax on the beach. The balcony is absolutely perfect and the steps to walk out to the pool and beach are a must have. Definitely going to return again!
Always enjoy staying in the Sand Castle condos. Loved having the spiral stairs to the pool....hit with my kids! Condo had everything we needed and Philip was very informative/quick response. Will be booking future stays here.
We loved the view! The white sand and turquoise water was absolutely beautiful! We loved being able to walk out the door and be right there. We enjoyed being able to cook and the grills outside were an added bonus. We had plenty of room for six adults and one little one :). We hope to come back next year! It was great family time! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!
Property owner was very responsive when we had an issue with water that needed taken care of. Loved the location snd especially the stairs leading directly to the pool area.
Property was very clean had very comfortable beds. There is a staircase for pool and beach access and was very convenient. Came with 2 parking passes. My family enjoyed the property and was very beautiful!!
Excellent stay with my son’s family, which included our grandchildren ranging in age from 3-14. We all really enjoyed the convenience on the spiral staircase to the pool deck and super quick access to the beach. Just a few minor glitches that were easily resolved by communicating with Philip. We would definitely stay here again.
Loved having easy access to the pool and beach using the dedicated spiral staircase to our unit. Warmest pool and hot tub we’ve ever been in which is great for this time of year. Pots and pans a very dated. Brand new big TVs in every room. 25 minute drive to Clearwater.
The location was convenient to many things and the beachfront unit was awesome. Easy access to the pool/spa and beach.
The unit was not 100% clean, the hall bathtub was stained black and the balcony had a jumbled mess of chairs, beach toys etc in disarray. An organizer for those items would be helpful and disposing of broken items would be less of an eye sore.
The owner made check in simple and said to call if anything was needed or we had questions. One complaint, I would suggest not texting a guest in the early morning hours requesting the guest perform a task. The guest is on vacation and probably does not want to be disturbed. First time I have ever experienced something like that while on vacation.
We had a wonderful time at Sandcastle III! This property was perfectly located in IRB with convenient access to all surrounding locations. The property opens directly onto the beach (no sand dunes to traverse) and, therefore, offered an optimal view of the ocean/beach. The rooms were well appointed, and the kitchen was well equipped and provided ample counterspace for meals. The owner was communicative of important information and reminders, as well as highly responsive to questions. We had 4 adults and an almost 2-year-old. The space of the condominium was ample. We rented a Ford Expedition for our vacation, and it fit fine within the designated covered parking spot. My husband and I have stayed at each of the Sandcastles at this point (I, II, and III), and this was our favorite. I would recommend this unit, and any other units managed by this owner, to anyone looking for a stress-free vacation!
This is a perfect condo for young children. Owners have done a nice job preparing this unit for toddlers/babies. Pack n play provided along with high chair. Doors can all be secured out of small children's reach.
We had an awesome week! Best feature was the beautiful views of the ocean from the deck! The kitchen was well supplied to make cooking-in easy to do. The spiral staircase to the pool area was a great extra feature. The owner is easy to contact and responds quickly. We totally enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return!
We enjoyed our week tremendously. The location was everything we hoped for. The beach/pool/hot tub are right outside your door. We will be back! The owner was responsive to any questions. We made a great choice staying here.

About the host
Hosted by Philip Sopczak
My wife and I are very proud owners of three condominiums located in Indian Shores Florida. We live in Crown Point Indiana located just south of Chicago. We have two children. I am an electrician in a local steel mill and my wife is a elementary school teacher. We discovered Indian shores as a hidden gem many years ago while vacationing down their ourselves. My wife and I have worked extremely hard in acquiring these places. We both would love to share them with you so you can make your own great family memories.
