Perfect View
Very cute little 2bd 2bth place. Was a little snug but it was perfect for my family of 4. The view was breathtaking off the balcony and for being a 3plex it was quite private. The beach was steps from the patio. The pool area was nice and well kept. Lots of pool and beach items to use to include chairs, boards and umbrellas. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table as well. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

I rented this place because of the pool. It was always dirty. Bathroom showers have black mold everywhere. It was storming off and on yesterday so just went to our house in largo until they passed. The rest of the house was ok. I’ve rented other condos just down the street and they were way nicer for about the same price.

Everything was great but I have to be honest. The space has a ton of cockroaches. It was in every room and I wouldn’t feel right giving it a 5 star with this many “critters”

Wonderful spot, ok place
We stayed in apartment three, which is two bedrooms, and the smallest of the three condos in the building. While it was very clean, the bathroom, grout and edges are stained from mold. Refrigerator door is rusty but the refrigerator works fine. Overall, it is a nice place, but somewhat worn. We enjoyed our brief stay here. With a little work, it could be a wonderful spot

Neighbors from Hell!
^The location is nice but having a top floor with Hillbillies drinking and smoking pot was ridiculous. They were rude and obnoxious thank God they left Friday only to have a couple with TRIPLITS move in. All 8 years old running and jumping around till 1:30 am. Never renting another place with a top floor above me.

For the most part the house was fine. I say fine due to a few issues.. The tenants in Unit 3 were quite LOUD when walking ALL NIGHT LONG. I did ask them to be more respectful and also notified management. I do feel management should have contacted the renters but that was not done as both unit 2 and our unit were having the same issues. Thankfully they checked out and we had ONE night we could sleep through. The mattresses are in need of replacing. The floors could use a good STEAM cleaning! Also the main bathroom shower needs a STEAM CLEANING. The light fixture in the second bedroom was broken as was the left closet door. The were no hand towels for the kitchen to dry dishes with, minor issue but you asked. We were not left a check out list, or i missed it in an email.

The location was amazing but the property was very dated and things were broken. You could clearly hear the other guests above you walking, the pipes and water running as well as the neighbour's air conditioning. The property needs some major updating.

Location - BEAUTIFUL
Location was Stunning, Loved sitting on the patio in evening. LOVED immediate beach access. Pool was GREAT for when we were done at the beach. The actual Room itself was just ok. There is mold in the master bath shower, and needs some bleach. The mattresses need to be replaced. Otherwise, I would stay here year after year. Its is a very nice place.

Tried a new area
The building is situated right on the beach, which was AMAZING! The unit itself was a little outdated and in need of some TLC. The fridge door has patches of rust all over it, and the caulking around the showers looks pretty rough. The washer and dryer were VERY loud, and the dryer ate a couple strings from our bathing suits. Also, the mattresses were very uncomfortable. Otherwise, the unit was clean, with plenty of room for me, my husband, and our two adult children. Everything we needed for hanging out at the beach was available in the garage at the bottom of the building. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend staying here.

Indian Shores getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this property for several reasons. The location right on the beach was spectacular. We liked the layout of the unit and it was comfortable. Staying in a smaller building has its advantages - you park right in front of your unit, you don’t have to climb a lot of stairs or deal with elevators. Finally, we like this section of Indian Shores because the buildings are all low rise buildings and there are great restaurants near by.
