About Vict & Susan Boettle

Susan and I (Vic) have lived and rented beachfront condos for over 24 years. Susan hails from upstate NY (Cortland) and has lived locally for over 50 years. I grew up and lived in the Chicago area coming to Florida 27 years ago. This is when I was lucky enough to have met and married Susan. She graduated from the Univ. of South Florida and I received my degree from Bradley Univ. (Peoria, IL.). Susan is a 30 year retired Pinellas County teacher (K) and very proud of it. Finally, I convinced her to join me in retirement. Enough about us ----- what about you and yours?

Vict & Susan Boettle purchased this condo in 2002
Why Vict & Susan Boettle chose Indian Shores

Susan has the patience and knowledge to help anyone intending to visit this area. We have put our hearts and souls into making our direct beachfront condo one of the BEST on the beach. Add to that the direct, top floor location and you have a winner for your holiday. Worried about you car? Then you will love our garage. How many condos offer you a garage? Best of all, however; is the unobstructed view from the private balcony, out to the Gulf. Please, take a look at our pictures and you will also see the exact Gulf views of the entire beach.

What makes this condo unique

If you plan to visit the area, you need someone you can trust. That just discribed us. Tired of dealing with fast talking, rude, only interested in getting your booking people? That is NOT us. We like the old fashioned telephone, so that we can describe everything in full and to your complete satisfaction. We have been as honest as we possibly can with our pictures. We see pictures on the internet that are taken at the best possible angles, that represent views that the complex offers, that make no sence what-so-ever. We just shake our heads and feel sorry for the folks who get fooled' by such half truths. This is one reason we meet and greet our visitors in person. We view the grounds together and walk into the unit with you. Someone not happy? This has yet to happen. If it were to happen, we would talk about it 'on the spot' and work it out. Finally, since we meet and greet all of our visitors, we provide the keys, so you do not need to drive up and down the beach (or fool with a lock box) to get keys. No doubt, flying or driving you will be tried and who needs to look for the whereabouts of the keys?

Finally, since we have built two way 'faith and trust' with you on the telephone, so we have NO need to ask you to pay in advance. Payment is upon arrival. Many operations (most, if not all) ask you to pay in advance. Doesn't that make you a bit uncomfortable? It does when we travel. We do ask for a reservation deposit when you book your reservation This assures us that you are indeed coming and makes us feel better about turning others away for the dates you have reserved. We await your phone call and look forward to it. Evenings are best for us and we be reached at 727-595-5727.

The best condominion we have stayed in by far

This condo is a credit to the owners Susan & Vic, it is very clean, extremely well appointed and the position is to die for.

There is not any suggestion we could make to improve it, it is just a paradise both as a condo and position

If you are looking for an exceptional condo in this area look no further BOOK IT,

This was our second stay in a property owned by Vic and Susan. We happened upon them by accident and are so pleased that we did. They are very particular about their properties and it shows. Everything is very clean and neat, with everything in the condo that you would need. It is in a great location right on the beach and close to many fun things to do. The view from the balcony is
second to none and the sunsets WOW! The Boettles are so helpful and informative, from the phone calls before you arrive, meeting you personally on arrival, to the letter after you get home. They were available to us if we had any concerns during our stay. The personal touches mean so much and were greatly appreciated. We would certainly rent from Vic and Susan again when staying in Indian Shores and will certainly recommend them to our family and friends.
Owner's Response: You say you found us by accident --- and ---- we are so happy you did. You two were GREAT and we do hope you will visit us again. We only wish others would find us by accident or otherwise. We know when we travel what we like and appreciate and that is exactly what we (try) to provide to our visitors. Again, we are glad you agree.

This condo was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Hard to believe it was a rental unit. Owners strive to keep it this way.The entire complex was exceptional as well. Nice pool and jacuzzi area. Close to many activities. Owners personally meet you upon arrival to show you around. Had personal cell phone number for any questions from day of choosing this property. The location and views were second to none. If value, location and cleanliness are important this is the place.

We stayed at this property over the Xmas holidays and had a fabulous experience! Susan, the owner, met us upon our arrival and showed us everything we needed to know. So nice to have a friendly face greet you after a long travel day!! This property has everything you would need; all the comforts of your own home but with a stunning view of the beach from your patio!! You walk out of the elevator and you have a 24 mile stretch of beach waiting for you; it doesn't get better than that!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again soon!!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your very kind comments regarding your visit to our area/condo. We work very hard to make it nice and comfortable for excellent visitors like you two. YES, please do come again, and again.

Look no further! This is the place to stay!!! Very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with dishes, pots, pans towels, etc!!! The owners are there to greet you and show you through the condo with all kinds of great information and details about the area and the condo. We had no problems, but if we had....I'm sure they would have been there immediately to fix it!!! They are sooo very welcoming. The view is perfect and the beach was recently refurbished. It's quiet and gorgeous. There is a door in the master bedroom to the deck. The weather was so perfect we slept with the door open every night so we could sleep to the sound of the ocean. We plan on returning!!!
