Absolutely loved our stay. None of wanted to go home. Biggest thing for me is what a place smells like when you first open the door. This condo smelled freshly clean and new. Ps there is lots beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys in the closet out on the porch

Great views

We just left the Penthouse 3 condo after a wonderful week. The location was beautiful and the place was very clean. We enjoyed our stay very much and had coffee on the balcony every morning to watch the dolphins. It had everything you would need for a great vacation week. One thing we wished for was a curtain or drape for the master bedroom as we like to sleep in a darker room but the bed was very comfortable. Also the couch could use a little cleaning but there was an extra sheet in the room with the bunk beds so we covered it. But it was just to appease our minds. Thanks so much for sharing your location and condo. We would love to come back.

Great place

We had a party of 6 adults and this place fit us perfectly. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, cooking pots and pans and cutlery. There was plenty of towels and linens. The washer and dryer made it easy to keep up with all the swim suits and beach towels used each day. The view was spectacular! Was able to sit out there every morning and watch the dolphins and every evening to watch the sun go down. The beds and pillows were so comfortable, we slept great every night (I even looked to see what type of pillows they were so I can get them for my house). The parking was tight especially if you have a larger vehicle but it was manageable. The ONLY negative thing I experienced was the water pressure. It was not great but again, it was manageable. We wld absolutely stay here again!

Much needed maintenance

The condo needs a lot of maintenance. Cabinets didn’t stay closed with the trash can could not open the dryer with out pushing the bifold door the water barely came out of all facets the bed with the bunk bed was so loose could not use the top one and the cooling in that room was bad barely came out. Would not stay at that condo unit

Nice Unit

The unit was fine, but there were issues with the property. There was only one working elevator and the pool was closed for two days. Other properties rented to people who had teens who where arrested for underaged drinking. It was not the owner's fault, but there were issues with the property and those who rented other units.

Great trip for family of 6.

We had a wonderful stay at this unit. Our group consisted of two adults and four children (ages 4–11). Having stayed at several different condos over the years, we found the layout of this unit to be among the best for accommodating a larger group. The children especially loved the bunk beds, which added to the fun of the trip.The only minor drawback was that the sliding doors to the bunk room offered limited noise insulation, making it a bit challenging when the adults stayed up later than the kids.Each bedroom was equipped with a large television, although we hardly used them, as we spent most of our time at the beach and exploring the local area. The furniture and beds were all high-quality and sturdily built, and the recently renovated bathrooms were clean and modern.We also appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, which included plenty of cookware and solid cutlery—the best we’ve encountered in any rental (though the knives could use a bit of sharpening).Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay and will definitely keep this unit at the top of our list for future visits!

Wonderful Family Stay

We had a wonderful week in Indian Shores staying in PH#3. Views were stunning and building and pool area were clean. King beds were very comfy. Plenty of bath towels. Only issue we had was parking because the assigned space for unit was in garage which was closed due to construction in there. There were many pool and sand toys in balcony closet, a couple camp chairs which were on balcony but would not fold up to put in carrying bags. No umbrella or cooler. We added a few sand toys and float items to closet. There was a hand pump in laundry closet to inflate pool toys which was great! Kitchen was well stocked but lacked anything plastic to feed children on which we were traveling with. Everything was glassware or ceramic. We left items we purchased in cupboards for next guests. Hope they stay there:) One item of note bedroom with bunk beds is smaller than it appeared to me when looking at pictures and because of its location in front of unit right off front door by door and window on walkway it’s louder and it was quite warm in there (maybe provide a fan?) Also, it only has sliding louvered doors right on entry way which means room was the noisiest to anyone coming or going and children did not sleep well in there. One other suggestion would be to add a lamp in living room. It would be great especially as it gets dark at about 7-7:30 now and to read by instead of using VERY bright overhead ceiling fan light. When we needed assistance we received response promptly. Service was great. We would definitely stay here again!

In my opinion this is not a Penthouse it is a 3-bedroom top floor rental.

This is not what I expected for a penthouse. It is on the 10th floor, which is the top floor, but it does not have high-end features, spacious layouts, and expansive outdoor areas like terraces or decks. It does have a deck, but it is not different than any other apartments. The faucets just trickle water out because aerators are clogged, the hot water smells like sulfur, the shower heads are clogged water stream is low, the right front burner needs an infinite switch on the stove, the dryer door needs switched because you can't open the door unless you disconnect one side of the bifold door. Only one elevator is working so there are long wait times to go any.

could have been better for the price

this unit needs to be updated. the floor was really dirty. the patio furniture was old and rusty in some places. the water pressure was horrible. beds were very comfortable. no kitchen towels or dish cloths. missing enough forks and spoons. I don't know, I think for the price it should have been more equipped. also, not told the pool and hot tub was not working for the first whole week. that ws really a bummer... oh well.

Great Week in Indian Rocks Beach

We had a great week at this condo. It was very nice. We stay in one of the Sandcastle condo buildings every year. They are just the best for the area. This one was no different in the high quality we expected. There were lots of beach toys for our grandson. There is a great view of the Gulf that is just so wonderful. We saw dolphins and enjoyed watching the boats. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Family trip

We spent a full week at this condo in August 2024 (2 adults and 2 kids) and enjoyed our stay. The beach and the pool were not crowded and the weather was perfect! Amazing sunsets!! The condo itself had plenty of space for the 4 of us, the views were amazing on the 10th floor, plus the location is great in the area with restaurants nearby. We have rented appartments multiple times in the area and elsewhere in the world, this condo was unfortunately not the best one. The main reasons: the terrace is not clean and the patio furniture is old and broken/rusty/dirty. Also, the beds are not comfortable, the kitchen supply and the appliances are not good quality either. The bedrooms don't have blackout curtains or just curtains so it is bright early in the morning... not ideal when on vacation! The small bedroom doesn't even have a real door. In our opinion, this condo needs some improvements to be 5-star. A new dishawasher, a TV cabinet, a remodeled entrance, a door to the smallest bedroom, blakcout curtains in all bedrooms, better items in the kitchen.

Great Family Vacation

We were a family with 3 generations aged 73-15, this property was wonderful for us, great sleeping arrangements with comfortable beds. Beach was amazing and pool and hot tub were great too, many great restaurants in close proximity. The clothes dryer was broken but the property manager had somebody out to attempt to fix it ASAP and when it couldn’t be fixed, the owner replaced it by Tuesday. We understand things sometimes break and really appreciated timeliness of replacing the dryer. We will definitely return! Thank you for a wonderful week.
