This was a great spot for our family spring break! We were able to see dolphins swimming from our balcony! The host was amazing to work with. The condo was stocked with everything we needed. It was so nice to have beach towels available and plenty of beach toys for our kids to enjoy. We had a blast and we would definitely stay here again!

Great place, I would stay again, management needs to fix the blinds and the master bedroom sliding glass door so you can have full privacy. Also, the billing has two elevators and only one works.That was frustrating, all and all it met all of our means the only reason why I don’t give it 100% with those two reasons.I give it a 95 which is an A.

This condo is AMAZING! It literally has EVERYTHING you will need for your trip. It has every kitchen utensil, so many dishes and pans, cards, beach towels, games and beach chair to name a few. The condo is right on the beach with a beautiful view of the gulf. Caddy’s on the beach is across the street for dinner or a drink. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops close by. Beth responds quickly to emails and texts. We would definitely rent again!

Sandcastle II April 2024

Beautiful location right on the beach with amazing sunset views. There were several good restaurants and shops within walking distance. The condo was also well outfitted for meal preparation. We really enjoyed watching the dolphins and manatees swim by the beach in the morning. Great place to spend a couple of weeks

Indian Shores Beach Rental

We had an amazing time & enjoyed every inch of the condo & the property! The condo was fully stocked including beach items which were very helpful. We did purchase & leave extra wash clothes so we didn’t have to continuously wash towels but other than that, everything was wonderful!

We are so happy to hear your group enjoyed your stay at this beautiful condo. We make sure to leave towel service for 6 guests and with the washer and dryer available, typically guests don't have any issues although we understand wanting to spend all the time enjoying this great community's beach, pool, etc. and not having to do any wash! We look forward to serving your family again.

Great Family Getaway

Wow!! Words cannot express how wonderful our stay was for our entire family. The condo was spacious, welcoming, and inviting. The beds were comfortable and bedrooms were spacious. The balcony offered a breath taking view of the ocean and sunsets every night. There were plenty of household necessities available and the washer/dryer is always handy. There were chairs, cooler, and towels available. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Great Kitchen!

Overall experience was great! The kitchen had more cooking supplies than I've ever had in a condo! It made eating in easy! The condo was nice and clean. The beach chairs and towels were great! Easiest checkin/out process I've ever had. I really appreciate it since we tend to fly out really early. Beth is very responsive and helpful! Thank you so much!!

Fantastic Location and Amazing Management

What a wonderful trip. The location provides front row seats to every sunset and is perfect for families. The pool and beach are right there and the property itself has all the amenities you could need. I can’t say enough about the property manager, Beth, either. She was so attentive and even provided tips on things to do and coupons to certain venues. Amazing service! Will definitely rent from her again!

Excellent vacation spot…already booking for next year

The only issue we had was with the Trolley. They might as well throw the schedules in the trash, because it’s never there on time. We frequently had to call an Uber.

Absolutely lovely

This was our first time to Indian Shores but it won’t be our last. This has all the perks of Clearwater but is a more quaint, family friendly location. Beth’s condo is well equipped and comfortably suited my family of 4 (kids age 2 & 3) plus my parents. Having beach chairs available to us was perfect and there were even some beach toys for the little ones! We will be back!

We are happy that you were pleased with your choice of Sand Castle II on Indian Shores. The beach is outstanding at this location and yes, much more quaint than the beautiful, yet much more commercial Clearwater Beach area. We look forward to serving your family again.
