| My family and I have vacationed in Indian Shores many times and just love the area. We have stayed in several different condos over the years and I have to say that we really enjoyed the comforts offered in this condo and building. It is one of the largest 2-bedroom condos we have stayed in and the layout is great because the living space is very open and bright. The furniture, especially the sofas and beds, were very comfortable and there was plenty of closet and drawer space for all our stuff. We used the queen sleeper sofa in the living room and it was very comfortable to sleep on. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and all the appliances worked just fine (which we have found to not always be the case when renting condos and houses). We loved the pool, which was heated to just the right temperature and all the other guests were very friendly and it made it a great vacation for our family. The beach is right there when you come out of the building and that was the best part of all!! Definitely will stay here again next time. |

| My husband and I stayed for 4 nites and this condo overlooking the intracoastal was terrific! The beds were really comfortable and the leather couches rated very high with us-Much more comfortable the the usual rattan couches in most condos! The kitchen was well-stocked and we will most definitely go back! |

| We had a wonderful time. The accomodations we great and loction awesome.Our 8yr old granddaughter thought it was the most wonderful place. We went to Busch Gardens one day and after about two hours, she ask if we could "just go back to the beach and the swimming pool" My 80 year old parents went also and the had a wonderful time walking on the beach, sitting on the balcony and swimming each day. It was well worth the money spent. We would all love to come again. |

This was our first time using a condo for vacation and the experience was such a nice one we are "hooked" on it. We have 2 kids (ages 6 and 1) and the amenities of the condo fit in just right for our needs. I was overjoyed to see that when we got in late from our flight (in a thunderstorm) our keys were waiting for us, there was a crib to drop the little one in and parking was COVERED!!! We loved having our own spot to park and not having to drive around a parking lot forever to find one like you usually have to do when renting at a hotel. The convience of the beach being right there ('specially at naptime) is more than someone can ask for. I don't know if it was just the time we visited or if it's always like that but the beach was nice and quiet without worries of the kids getting lost in a crowd. (We didn't visit the pool we were to busy on the beach) Having two full bathrooms helped when everyone needed to wash the sand off after being on the beach. The only things that we were unhappy with were: The vertical blinds for the balcony doors kept falling off, no free internet and a dustbuster or something to SUCK up the sand would have been nice but these weren't things that would keep us from coming back. I do have to agree with the post about the view, I was a little shocked to be looking at the parking lot and road (more so than a park) but who really sits out there anyway when there's a beach to be on??? Overall we would recommend this condo to anyone that wanted to save money on renting a condo to stay at a wonderful beach. Thanks so much for letting us stay at your place and have a FUN first vacation for our little one.

| Just wanted you to know that we had a wonderful week at the condo. Thank you so much. The accomodations were wonderful...beds comfortable, very clean and well kept bldg. We had some windy days so it was great the beach was on one side of the bldg and the pool the other. We bounced around if we had had too much sun.. Grills to use , picnic area..all good. I liked the balcony away from the afternoon sun. We sat out after a long day of sun and it was cool and comfortable. The water was warm, the waves a lot of fun and a good long beach for morning walks..We took in Tampa Bay games and that was so easy to get to. Lots of fun restaurants and shops not too far away. Definitely would come back to have another stay. Thank you Beth! Betsy |

| The condo was great! Our family really enjoyed our time on the Gulf!!!!!! The only downfall was not being oceanfront. Other than that everything was great. |

Thank you for taking the time to sign my guest book. I'm happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your vacation and liked my condo. I know it can be a drawback that my condo's balcony does not overlook the gulf, but it does have the advantage of being located directly on the beach. When you think about the actual amount of time you spend sitting on a condo's balcony, I don't think it's probably worth the extra $150-200/week cost. And it's nice to have that extra money to spend on other activities during your vacation. Again, I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay!!

| Everything was clean, beach and pool were great, rooms were spacious. 2 things I wish I would have known - a street view instead of beach and no beach towels. They handled crib and hi chair rental easily for me. Would stay again, felt secure. |

Thank you for adding your comment to my guestbook. I'm surprised you didn't realize my balcony does not face the gulf as both my owner web site and the "rent through owner" web sites I advertise on indicate that the view is of Tiki Gardens, a park across the street on Gulf Blvd. As for beach towels being included, they are not offered by the linen services because it is too difficult to ensure that they will make it back from the beach or pool to the condo. It sounds like overall you enjoyed your stay and for that I am very happy. Our onsite management office is wonderful about coordinating any special needs of our guests. I'm glad to hear you felt secure and would stay with us again. Thanks again for taking the time to sign our guest book.

Location great Condo clean, spacious and comfortable.
Pool next to roadside is very noisy, but the beach is like heaven.
only suggestion for improvement would be the bed linens and pillows.

My sisters and our mom do an annual girl trip every year for the past 8 years. We typically do a different Florida beach each year.
Your condo was clean, comfortable, and convenient. My only complaint would have to be no dish washing soap. For handwashing or machine. It was surprising we had to go back out to grocery to buy both of these items I would expect to find in a condo.
Otherwise, although it rained ALL 3 of our 4 day stay, we had a wonderful time. Would love to come again.
Thanks! |

Thank you for adding your comments to my guest book. I'm happy to hear that you found my condo comfortable. As for dish and dishwasher detergent, it is not supplied by our management company, but usually there will be some left from previous guests. I'm also sorry to hear that the weather was not better. Usually this time a year we get a late afternoon rain shower and then it dries up quickly, and doesn't even look like it rained. All in all I'm happy you had a wonderful time and enjoyed your stay at my condo. I welcome you for a return visit any time!!

| Four girl first cousins flew in from the Midwest to join me for an absolutely wonderful time on the beautiful beach. The accommodations fit us to a tee and Beth (the owner) was fantastic working with us. We're already hoping for a repeat vacation! |

We had a fantastic time. My friends and I had plenty of
room and they told me how much they liked their stay.
The only thing I would comment negatively about, is
that the air conditioning never got the temp. below
78. We told the office and they sent someone out, but
he said that he couldn't do anything. But I would come
again without a second thought. |

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you letting us know about the air conditioning. We have a service contract on the system so I'm surprised the person in the office did not call them in to check the unit. I will definitely follow-up with them and make sure it is taken care of. We appreciate you taking the time to enter your comments in our guestbook and again, we're sorry to hear you had a problem with the air conditioning.

I just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your condo last week. Everything we could possibly have needed was there. It was clean, attractive and comfortable. The location was very convenient to anything we wanted to do. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our entire vacation, and we have every intention of returning in a couple of years. We will look you up at that time. Thanks for the opportunity.

My husband, daughter and I have spent our winter vacations in Indian Shores, Florida for the last 20 years. We've rented condos throughout the area and always dreamed of having our own condo here on the beach. My sister and her family, who live in Orlando, met us every year so we could enjoy our vacations together. Our daughters have wonderful memories of body surfing, collecting seashells and sand dollars, and watching the dolphins travel the gulf coastline. The tons of seashells we've collected and hundreds of family photos we've taken throughout the years remind us of these memorable family vacations. Now that we've been fortunate enough to buy a beautiful condo on the beach, we look forward to sharing it not only with our own family, but are happy to offer it to others who want to enjoy this beautiful area in Florida to create their own memorable family vacations. To us, the beaches in this area are as beautiful as in the Caribbean and the calm gulf waters provide the perfect surroundings and fun activities for the entire family. Although we have vacationed in many areas of the United States, the sunsets on Florida's gulf coast are breathtaking to see. There is nothing better than lying close to the sound of the soft gentle surf to experience its perfect relaxing pleasure. So be our guests, and contact us to enjoy our resort condominium on the beach for your vacation on the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast!
