For those of you that don’t know, between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach, there’s a group of supreme island communities that offer all the fun, food and shops one may desire. These smaller town beaches are not as populated as the others and the condo homes that line these quaint cities offer the opportunity to “Live the Florida Lifestyle”. Hang where the Locals do and let us share a piece of our Paradise.

Over 100 merchants populate the Village offering unique retail shopping experiences, multiple places to eat, rent wave runners, book a fishing trip or floating tiki bar and more. History reflects that the Pass was created by a hurricane way back in 1848. On September 27, 1848, a retired pirate, John Levique, now calling this area home made the first passage through the newly created pass. Hence the name, Johns Pass. Located on the waterfront at Johns Pass, this quaint turn-of-the-century fishing village is Pinellas County’s #1 tourist attraction.

Inside Scoop (tips only locals know): SEA TURTLES ~ You may see areas marked off with stakes & orange netting that are sea turtle nests that have been identified and contained so they are not disturbed to give the eggs time to hatch. The majority of nesting in Florida occurs between May 1st and October 31st. About 90% of all sea turtle nesting in the United States takes place on Florida's beaches, which means it is critical that residents and visitors alike do their part to ensure that sea turtles have a safe and successful nesting season. If you are staying at the condos along the beaches, please keep your porch lights off during this time of year so as not to confuse the hatching turtles; they head towards the moonlight to find the Gulf waters and start their life. It is also important at the end of your beach day that you flatten any sand castles you’ve made or holes dug as they interfere with the turtles track to the water.
MANATEES ~ Sometimes you will see these gentle giants swimming along just off shore. Keep your eyes open "circle" footprints they leave when surfacing for air.
DOLPHINS ~ You'll often see these beautiful creatures playing or feeding not far from shore.
SEA OATS ~ While walking along our beaches some areas boast Sand Dunes & Sea Oats which are not for playing on. The Sea Oats are protected and combined with the dunes help to protect our beautiful beaches from erosion. They are also nesting places for many of our shore birds.
Speaking of birds, Indian Shores is the home of the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary that helps to rescue, rehabilitate injured birds & educate the public. A little south of Park Boulevard Bridge is the 1.5-acre wild bird rehabilitation center with over 100 birds on display including Pelicans, Owls, Hawks, Vultures, song birds, Shore birds, and parrots. Other features include gift shop, education center, observation tower overlooking the Gulf, daily pelican hand-feeding, weekly screech owl demonstration, monthly yoga class on the beach, and much more. Located on Gulf Blvd. in front of mile marker #13.

The property itself was beautiful. It was clean, well maintained, and in a prime location. The direct access to the beach from the balcony was the cherry on top. Would highly recommend this property.
Very nice condo. Exactly as depicted in the photo's, clean, modern and comfortable. It was nice having Caddy's across the street to grab a quick lunch or cold beverage while still in your bathing suit and then head back to the quite comfortable beach service chairs and umbrellas, (for a fee). Close to any type of restaurant cuisine you might crave as well. Just a nicely appointed and reasonably priced option for a beach stay on a wonderful beach. No place is perfect, but this one is close as far as our group is concerned.
We loved everything about the condo! The views were spectacular and the proximity to the pool and beach was perfect! We will most definitely be renting again!!
Great location for beach, restaurants, coffee shops etc. Stairs from balcony to pool and beach were so convenient. Loved the cabana rentals on the beach. Appreciated the fans provided for each room for white noise while sleeping. Kitchen cabinets and dishes could use a deep cleaning but fully stocked. Property manager communication was amazing. Will for sure consider renting again if we return to this area.

We're so glad that you enjoyed your visit to Sand Castle II 2206 and appreciate your understanding with the installation of a brand new dishwasher while you were there. Some things we just can't foresee, but glad to be able to get you up and running within a few hours of the problem. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving your family another time!
This was one of the best family vacations we have ever had! The location is so perfect and the beach and pool access could never be better. Although it would be great to find other new places to stay around this area we have discussed that we would love to just come right back to this condo due to the amazing location, service, cleanliness, beach access, and overall atmosphere. What a wonderful and amazing place for an intimate family vacation!!

We're so happy that you enjoyed your vacation with us on Indian Shores. This condo's location is truly spectacular. We look forward to serving your family in the future.
The lovely condo was the perfect space for our family of seven. The condo has all of the amenities needed for family comfort and fun. We especially appreciated having beach toys and chairs for our use. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from our lovely balcony. Our family plans to be return guests.
This condo's backyard is the Gulf of Mexico. What an incredible week of family bonding in this well kept condo. Truly a slice of paradise on the Florida Gulf Coast.

Windows not cleaned, rented for sunsets and very disappointed. Also, in opening drawers of dresser the must was overwhelming.

Unfortunately, we had a couple of storms blow through just prior to your check in and I would expect some salt spray and sand could occur after the cleaning. The sliders are always cleaned and we are sorry we are not able to control when the storms come and leave the sliders less than perfect for our guests. We will certainly have our cleaners check the dresser drawers for dust, I think that is what you were referring to. Sorry it was not what you expected although upon check in you indicated all was as expected. Thank you for your feedback. It is helpful.
This was a great condo, The kitchen was well stocked and the condo was big enough for our family and friends. The beach towels and the cooler were a huge plus. The girls enjoyed the easy access to the beach via the stair off of the Deck. I would stay here again.

Thank you for sharing the condo with our family! The condo was exactly as described on the listing. It was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The cooler, and beach chairs/toys were a great plus! We really enjoyed the quiet location and not being too far from anything!

Amazing sunsets every night! Loved the wrap around balcony and being able to access the beach from spiral stairs.....so convenient. The grills being close to our unit was great! Kitchen had everything we needed and I could still see the sunsets while cooking! Location was great! Beach was not crowded and great to walk for miles! Would love to visit this condo again!

So glad your group enjoyed the condo and our area. Indian Shores is a hidden gem. We look forward to serving your family in the future.
We have been going to IRB for 10 years. This is by far our favorite condo. It’s an end unit with plenty of space, spiral staircase to the pool and beach and everything you need! Lots of San Toya and chairs (not guaranteed as people leave what they buy) but we look forward to staying again next year! And Beth is extremely responsive during the booking and check in process!
