The apartment itself is beautifully situated. Inside, however, there is a fair amount of worn-out furniture, non-functioning bathroom doors, and several other issues requiring renovation and investment. This was not our best stay in this area. Pool nice, beach - like always BEST one.

The view was the best part of the rental along with location. However the mildew smell the dilapidated cabnets and mildew on the ceiling was bad. There was doors not on the tract and lacked things such as toaster. We stayed only one night. I had asthma problems due to mildew. The place could be fantastic if yhe spent some money on updates.

The location is awesome. Its right on the beach, the view is great. The pool at the complex is nice and well kept. Plus Johns Pass is walking distance. The pictures don't match the actual condo. A lot of the furniture has changed and kind of falling apart (dinning room chairs were really wobbly and porch furniture was falling apart). The toilet in the master bathroom wouldn't stop running. The batteries in the remotes were low/out. There was sand on the counter when we came in and the floors were dirty.

Condo seeds a bit of taking care of little thing's like paint chipping off kitchen cupboards below kitchen sink, water dripping down from vents, cleaning needs to be better, especially floors, blue stain on bath counter.

Floors and refrigerator were dirty and the door didn’t lock only from the inside. Our original room was out of service so we had to stay in a different room and a family came knocked on the door and said they were told to move to this room because they were having AC issues. We wanted to vacuum the room because of the sand and it didn’t work. It was nice having some beach chairs and umbrella (but the umbrella didn’t work)

The view / location are amazing - the condo needs some repairs

Communication needs work - asked a question and got an answer that did not answer my question. Followed up with no response. The condo needs work - cabinet paint is pealing off, the dishwasher door is broke, and the water clogs. For the price of the condo it should be nicer than this.

Need updated

The pictures posted are not what we walked into. The condo is very outdated. Furniture is very worn! Not clean either! Very nice area though. Walking distance to everything. Beach view was perfect. This would be a very nice condo if the owner would do some repairs and update the furniture. And I would get a new cleaning person!

Room was gross

I understand rooms being outdated, that is not a problem. However, the room definitely felt like it had not been cleaned. Floors were gross and not with just sand. The bathroom mirrors still had tooth paste marks from the previous people that stayed. A carped it literally taped down because it’s missing a tile in front of the fridge. Television in master doesn’t work. And we found multiple roaches. I’ve stayed in this building before and had a much better experience. I do not recommend this room at all.

Terrible experiece

The view was wonderful! The condo was DISGUSTING! U should b ashamed of renting this condo at Sandy shores #203. I'm so glad we only had 2 nights there. I am using every platform available to let others know never to stay there! For the cost it was a huge disappointment! The tvs, the running facet, the dirt under the couch, which was also disgusting! The electrical outlets, 2 were coming off the walls. A disaster waiting to happen. I will never see me nor any family member at your property again!!! Shame on you for ripping people off!!!

Sandy Shores # 203 - John's Pass

The location was perfect; right across the street from John's Pass, and you couldn't ask for a better view. The condo is rundown. A tile is missing in the kitchen. The toilet in the first bathroom did not work properly; had to take the lid off of it to flush it. The master's closet was stuffed full and was ajar with things hanging out when we arrived. We could not get the television in the master to work. You do not get any local channels on any of the televisions. You have to stream on the tvs that did work. The patio furniture was okay, but they had old rusted furniture stacked in a corner. Only provided three full towels and three wash clothes for four adults staying two nights. This condo needs a good refresh, and it would be perfect.

For Shame

The location was great. That’s the only positive comment I can say about this unit. Overall, it was dirty. The furnishings were broken and filthy. The ice maker didn’t work. I reported it & no one came. However, an electrician showed up for a previous call & fixed the light in the kitchen. The TV in the master bedroom didn’t work & the doorknob almost fell off. There was no room in the closets for clothes because they were all used as storage. The dishwasher worked intermittently and the kitchen was woefully lacking in supplies. Not a potholder anywhere. The guest bathroom was filthy. It looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned for months. I was reluctant to call for any complaints because we didn’t want to wait around for service. For the money we paid for this unit, it was a crying shame!

Weekend getaway

We go to the Clearwater area at least once a year, we've always rented a house. However, this time we wanted closer access to the beach, so we decided to rent this condo because of it's location and photos online looked good. However, once there, it was not as easy as previous rentals in regards to communicating with the property manager. Sent message on Vrbo with no response, so I sent an email, which wasn't responded to until next day and did not fully address all my concerns. There was a phone number to call, but it was all automated, could not reach a live person. There was no one at the office, even during the posted Open Hours of 9am to 5pm. The elevator was broken on a Sunday and apparently no maintenance person works, so everyone had to wait until Monday, which was a burden carrying everything up and down the stairs. At the end of the day, the condo was good in terms of location, room size, etc. We just did not like the fact that the floors were not very clean, our feet was dirty and black after about 10 mins of walking around. Personally, we will probably not rent this condo in the future.

Condo 203 faced the ocean/beach and we had a great time. The condo was dated but very comfortable and clean. The beds were super comfortable. Another plus was the shower head. Great water pressure. One downfall was that we were missing a toaster. Called for one but never received. Hopefully that was a one time thing! We would definitely reserve condo 203 again! Being across from John's Pass was convenient for little shops and restaurants. There was an open air bar where we did Karaoke one night. Locals were very welcoming!

Could be so much better if the owner cared

This property is in a wonderful location. It looks out over the ocean and pool. It is close to John Pass Village which offers lots of restaurants and shops. The unit however leaves a lot to be desired. It could be a 4-star room, but it lacks a lot of maintenance and cleaning issues. The floors were disgusting. Why did I pay a cleaning fee? The silverware was dirty, and some items were rusted. Bathrooms were dirty and the tub didn't drain. The front door security lock was broken, and therefore useless. Wall sockets sunk into wall; ceiling fan electric cables not pinned to the wall properly. The building management was never available. Needed them twice, but they weren't there in the middle of the day (door locked, no one home). Blinds were missing slats, and the living room blinds were broken and couldn't even be closed. Furniture was in disrepair (holes, worn, filthy). Just go somewhere else, trust me. It's sad. This place could be so much more.

Won't be staying here again

Very outdated. One of the comforters had poop smeared on it. Called housekeeping to replace it, they took it and never brought us another one. The master bathroom shower drain was clogged, had water above my ankles when done showering and the next person had to wait awhile for it to drain. Didn't get fixed until the day before we left. Had a sign posted in the elevator for an upcoming HOA meeting about a bed bug issue they are having in the building, luckily I didn't see any. Good location was the only great thing about it. Won't rent this unit again, over priced!!!

Location was great but overall terrible

The overall cleanliness of the condo was terrible. The shower was gross. The condo was outdated but I can do outdated, it's the mildew throughout the place. I was surprised they have a maid! She came at 915am to clean on checkout day. Heard a knock while packing up and before I know it she's inside. I asked her to please come back at 10 as we were still packing. Between the yuck of the place and the maid helping herself inside before checkout, I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone
