This place was very nice. Very clean and a great location. There is a lot of construction going on and that’s to be expected. Once all that has been completed, it will be an exceptional location. On behalf of me and my family, I was thank you. I would definitely rebook!

The condo was just as in the pictures. The construction was very noisy as expected. The balcony was so dusty we couldn't sit out there, so that was a bummer. We had to Uber or pay for the trolley alot to go to Clearwater or St Pete because there isn't alot to do in Indian Shores except the beach, and a couple coffee shops. One restaurant was in walking distance, but it didn't have a huge selection I didn't feel like. The pool was nice and relaxing. My daughter and I didn't really connect with Indian Shores, but if we loved it and ever planned on going back, we would stay again....minus the construction!

Nice complex. Clean pool and hot tub. Condo was clean and the bed was ver comfortable. Kitchen had everything one would need for cooking a meal. Beach chairs and wagon came in handy for stays at the beach which was only a short distance away. Tennis and pickleball courts were in excellent condition. Condo was w/i walking distance to many restaurants. Only drawback was the construction noise which was a constant during my stay, but I was made aware of this prior to my booking confirmation.

The unit was fine for the price, however there were two issues that made our stay disappointing. Firstly, the unit had not been cleaned after the prior occupants stay when we checked in and we were not immediately able to reach the host to let them know. After a few hours, this was resolved. Secondly, and as noted in the listing, there is exterior construction work taking place at the building. During our stay, the contractor happened to be grinding the surface of the concrete walkway immediately outside our door. For several hours over multiple days, this created an unbearable noise. We have stayed in other units in the complex previously, so we knew we would love the location and would stay here again after the construction work is complete.

Thank you for your feedback, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the initial cleanliness issue upon your arrival. There was an unexpected scheduling miscommunication, but once we were made aware, we worked quickly to resolve it as soon as possible. Regarding the construction, as noted in the listing, there is ongoing exterior work at the building. While this is outside of our control, we understand how disruptive the noise can be and appreciate your patience during this time. We’re so glad to hear you enjoy the location and have stayed in the complex before. We would love to host you again once the construction is complete and provide you with the seamless experience we strive for. Buckeye Beach Life

The condo is beautiful but the property was going through a major construction project while we were there. Every week day from 8-4 they were working on our building and we had to listen to jackhammers, cranes, grinding and drilling all day long. Dust was everywhere. I booked in August and received an email from host in January I believe that said “ Hello Marie, We were just alerted that there will be construction starting January 5 at the property and continued during your stay. The building will be having the exterior concrete resurfaced and repainted. You may notice some noise and dust during normal working hours, but the crews are mindful of guests and it should not impact your stay overall. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need anything while you’re there. We want to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. Thank you for your understanding!It did impact our stay every day. There was no sleeping in past 8. Two of the days they were working directly on our balcony and the balcony above, we couldn’t even hear each other talk. I did contact the host a few times. She was apologetic and gave us 100 back but when I contacted her again about the noise level not being minor and I thought we should be given more back, she just apologized again. I have pictures and videos of what we had to listen to every day. I talked with other condo owners and guests who were given bigger discounts.

We again, thank you for your feedback. As communicated prior to your arrival in August 2025, we notified you of the building work so you would have the opportunity to make alternative arrangements if desired. Throughout this period, we remained in regular contact with the HOA to stay informed of any updates. While the construction was outside of our control, we recognize the inconvenience it caused and provided a partial refund as a goodwill gesture. We appreciate your stay and wish you all the best in your future travels.

We purchased this property because we love the beach and wanted to have a place to stay and also share with our friends and family. Our condo is located in Indian Shores, FL and fully furnished and beach ready. No need to bring any extras with you, we have provided them.
We created a dream in October 2020, that we were able to bring to life and bought a condo to rent and share with others. We wanted to provide an experience for anyone to relax and just enjoy their time in warm weather, close to the beach, and have fun with friends and family. We brought a little bit of Ohio (where we live) to the experience.
We hope you enjoy your stay!!
