About this property

Waterfront penthouse 3/3 w loft 1900 sq ft steps from beach

LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT CONDO? This has everything!
Sit on the 4 season balcony that can be enclosed, screened, or open and watch dolphins, manatees, pelicans, and boats. Amazing huge sunrises while you have your coffee.

Everyone can spread out and relax. The king room is at the end of the hall with an ensuite. The queen is separated by a bathroom and closet, so you have privacy. Upstairs in the loft is a landing area, then a bedroom with a bunk set and a queen bed. If you want to, you can add the 3rd bathroom up there for the cost of cleaning, linens, toiletries for $75 for the stay. This bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet. The ceiling does slant so not suitable for those over 6' tall. Everyone sleeps well on the comfy beds as per the reviews.

When you are ready to be more active, walk steps to the beach just across the two-lane road. Your beach cart can be loaded with all provided accessories: cooler, umbrella, boogie boards, toys, chairs for a fun day at the beach. Maybe you would rather fish from the dock. A 35lb tarpon was recently caught, but I can't guarantee, ha ha.

The location is great! Walk a block to Crabby's, a waterside restaurant or a couple blocks for miniature golf. Many other restaurants are within blocks. A trolley can take you to Clearwater Beach or all the way to St Pete Beach.

Everyone gets a break in this condo. Spread out in this 1900 sq ft condo with loft. Lots of room for kids to play upstairs or for you to get away and work at the desk/printer station in the king bedroom (or move it to the loft - portable collapsible desk. Look down at the water while you work and the kids are in the bunk area behind the door). High speed internet, ethernet, allow you to zoom meet. Home schooling? The kids can work upstairs in the loft landing or at the island or kitchen table while you work in the very back. Balance work and play as you see fit.

The balcony furniture has been updated so it looks like the first two pictures, not the later ones as seen from living quarters. Also, the stairs are now updated and safer. Will get new professional pics soon.

There is so much to do without even leaving the property. Dock, kayak ramp (you can rent kayaks and paddle boards a couple blocks away), heated pool, hangout area by the water with grill, TV, tables and chairs. Fishing is great! Can't promise but check out the pics!

Upgraded cable with all HBO channels, Showtime, Tennis, Golf channel, NFL network, NICK Jr, BBC world news, NBA TV

After a day at the beach, luxuriate in a comfy king or queen bed with freshly washed duvets (not spreads that aren't washed between guests). Enjoy great meals with a selection of spices and kitchenware to prepare meals to remember.

BRING YOUR JET SKIS or paddle boards or rent them a block away. This condo has a ramp and a beach on the Intracoastal. The dock extends far out at the narrows so you can do some great fishing and the dolphins come right up. Walk a few steps across the street to the beach. Use the provided beach cart, beach toys, cooler, umbrella and chairs (downstairs storage unit) to have a great day at the beach.

This small complex has a heated pool that you will be able to enjoy to yourself many times. In addition, under the balcony of building A next to you is a great hangout by the water, with a grill, TV, and tables and chairs. Relax and have cocktails as the sun goes down! You can comfortably sit and have coffee or cocktails right out on the water with the seating area on the extended dock.

Like to fish? Here is what a guest wrote:
"The fishing was fantastic. I caught four redfish, tons of mangrove snapper, and I hooked and lost a tarpon. Also saw a 6 foot bull shark at the end of the dock." Of course, I can't guarantee YOU will have the same luck LOL

10 REASONS WHY THIS PROPERTY EXCELS - compare for yourself
1. fresh clean duvet covers for every guest on kind and queen beds.
2. Four bed pillows on king and downstairs queen bed with variety of firmness and style.
3. beach ACCESS is steps down and across the street - no long walk down the road
4. balcony has glass sliders that can be closed for all weather dolphin and boat watching, screened, or open for gulf breezes
5. beach towels and beach equipment provided
6. spices and fully equipped kitchen
7. private sandy beach (not suitable for swimming) on the intracoastal with a ramp for jet ski, paddle board, or boat.
8. direct waterfront with no foliage blocking your view (look closely at other property pics)
9. outdoor gathering area with grill and tables right on the water and a place to sit way out in the water on the dock
10. walk to restaurants

This condo is not suitable for children under 7.

Cathedral ceilings and lots of windows make this a bright, open space. Water view is from the kitchen as well, which is open to the living area. There is a breakfast bar with stools.

The bedrooms are outfitted in Tommy Bahama style furniture and comfortable beds with a king in the primary bedroom and a queen bedroom . They have flat screen tv’s. There is a portable desk and a printer in the primary bedroom in case you need to do some work while you are there.

A staircase leads to the loft. Tweens and teens have their own area above the living area where you can keep an eye but they can keep their mess and noise upstairs! A landing provides an area to hang out with a tv and play games. Games and books are provided.

The third bathrooom up in the queen/bunk room loft area is optional for $75 per stay. please let me know if you want it when you are booking.

There is a 5 night minimum. During high season those 5 nights must fall somewhere between a Saturday and a Saturday.

The condo is up two easy flights of outside stairs that are covered so you can walk from the two-car tandem parking under the condo and up the covered stairs in case it should rain. The unit parks two cars back to back.

A washer dryer is handy in the main area by the kitchen. Many other amenities are provided, including beach towels, keurig, drip coffee pot, blender, waffle iron, juicer, crockpot and more.
Keep in mind that you are on the 3rd floor in the Florida sun. During the heat of the day, even with this new 5 ton HVAC, the temps will not usually cool below 74 during the heat of the afternoon. However, with the high ceilings it is not an issue for almost everyone. Upon arrival when you are going in and out unloading, it can get up to 75 and take a while to cool down. Mornings and night times you should be able to have the temps as low as 67. This is typical for everywhere I have lived in FL condos. If this is an issue, reconsider the property and think of a hotel perhaps.

Indian Shores is a non-high rise, old Florida family-friendly little town near bigger towns that provide anything you could want. The water is clean and the beaches are lovely!

Dolphin Dreams is a second home for us but since we travel for work we can’t always get there. We are happy to share it with your family. Since I travel so much and stay in VRBO properties whenever possible, I know how important it is to have what you need and for things to be convenient. You want it to feel like home but yet also to feel like you are somewhere special – and you are! My goal is to help you make memories for a lifetime! Hope you will share your photos and experiences with me and have the best vacation ever!

Enjoyable escape
Property was clean and very comfortable. Dock on causeway provided a nice area to sit in the sun and to fish from. No large fish were caught but I did catch a pinfish, spotted sea trout and the usual croaker. Covered parking area was nice considering we experienced some rain days. Wife and daughter enjoyed the short walk to the beach on the Gulf side where the wife and I wandered to catch a sunset. Communication with the host was very responsive. We had all the information ahead of time along with the lock access, check in and check out procedures. Would recommend a stay for a nice escape if in the area.

A perfect week
We had the best stay at Janet’s place. The condo has a lot of space and everything you could possibly need to get your vacation started on the right foot. She goes above and beyond to be sure your vacation is stress free. It was so nice to see the water from the balcony and then walk right across the street to the most beautiful beach. The pool was clean and never crowded. There are restaurants and ice cream within walking distance. We spent a day at John’s pass, which is only a 15 minute drive away. We would definitely return for a visit.

Greatest views
First off Janet is an amazing host. She was there from beginning to end. She was great to answer any questions we had and help in all ways. As for the condo it was love at first sight. Everything was perfect. From all kitchen fully equipped to bedrooms and bath. Loved it outdoor balcony the most. Saw dolphins everyday and most days several times a day. Sunrises from balcony were awesome, sunsets on the beach right across street was amazing. Loved the convenience of how close the beach was to the condo. We also loved the beach towels and sunscreen given, as well as all the beach equipment furnished by Janet. Everything she says in her description of condo and area is correct. It is a beautiful condo and lovely area. Our whole family agreed we would definitely book again. The grills were great to have and the dock was perfect for just enjoying the bay. Janet you are the best and the whole Cotton family and Purvis clan give you ten stars for sharing your beautiful home with us. Pur vacation was perfect. Definitely need a repeat. Loved it all.

About the host

Hosted by Janet

Host profile image
I lived in Indian Shores for 12 years until moving back to New Orleans two years ago for family reasons. I missed it so much I bought Dolphin Dreams as a second home to visit as often as I can. I am an author and public speaker in the field of neuroscience. I travel for work so I have hired a wonderful team that lives at the beach to take great care of you and of Dolphin Dreams. My favorite thing to do is have my morning coffee on the balcony and watch for dolphins.

Why they chose this property

I picked Dolphin Dreams because I know all the properties in Indian Shores as it took me two years to find a place I wanted to buy when I moved there. this is the best! I always had my eye on it. I love that it has it's own private beach and that the dock extends so far you can get really close to the dolphins (can you tell yet that I love dolphins!!). i also love that I can easily pull my cart to the beach because the access is so close and right across the street. I love the idea of a kid's loft because I owned a rental property in the panhandle the last two years (nearer to home) and my favorite thing is helping people make family memories for a lifetime. Unlike other condos with extended family crowded together (dare I say sometimes getting on each other's nerves ha ha) this condo is spread out. There is lots of privacy with separation between the king and queen and the kids up in the loft. And yet there is lots of room for the family to gather in the open kitchen/living area or go down to the waterside gathering area to grill, eat, lounge. Also, I don't know about you, but I want to be sure the bed linens are clean so I only stay in places with duvet covers that are washed. The king and queen room are duvet covers instead of spreads. When you see printed bedspreads in condo photos there is a chance they are not washed between guests. Another reason I chose this property is that I like to fish. The fact that this area is called The Narrows as the intracoastal is more narrow there along with the fact that the dock extends much further out than other docks and you are right near the middle of the intracoastal with very deep water and big fish. The dolphins actually come in closer than the end of the dock sometimes! There is comfortable seating on the dock also. This is a unique property that I had my eye on for 8 years before being able to buy a unit.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the above benefits, I love that the balcony can be enclosed or open the sliders for the ocean breezes. The wind can get quite chilly or uncomfortable on the balconies so now I can sit there all year round. I love that it is a small complex so the pool is often unused and I can just float. One of the best things is that it is so close to all the favorite hangouts and restaurants. I work from home so the high speed internet, desk, printer and quiet back bedroom are perfect! Sometimes I work on the balcony! Unlike some places, the condo is quiet so I can do work zooms. I take breaks by crossing the street to the beach and going for a walk. I also love how I can cook, watch tv, and see the water and boats going by. So peaceful.
