110 Reviews of Property 43893 in Indian Shores, Florida

Our family had a wonderful week in this immaculate and beautifully decorated condo. We found it to be even nicer than we anticipated from the pics displayed. Great views of the water from main rooms and the gulf right across the street. MANY thoughtful touches included (nightlights, drying racks, beach chairs and toys, computer and 3 tv sets) that made packing easier than many beach homes. The stairs were a bit steep, so do consider this factor if is is an issue for you or your guests. (it was fine for us, but tough for my Dad who has some problems with balance) Would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful water view, close to beach, beautifully decorated, very clean!

Spacious accommodations with all the amenities. My wife and I took our children (7 and 5) for a quiet week at the beach in late fall. The condo was perfect for our needs, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining area and living room. Beautiful view of the waterway and a 500yd stroll to the beach (pulling the cart full of sand toys we found in the garage). We found stores for food and essentials a short drive away. After a fun day at the beach the kids would sleepy soundly in their own bedroom and my wife and I could enjoy a movie without disturbing them, or simply have a quiet drink on the balcony.

This was our first trip to Indian Shores and will definitely not be our last. The description of the location and condo was completely accurate. It's beautiful, spacious and CLEAN. We immediately felt like we were at home upon arriving at the condo. Isabel did an amazing job at decorating the condo to make you feel welcome and cozy. The welcome basket was such a nice surprise and the view was just breathtaking. All of the amenities you needed were there and nothing was missed in this place at all. It's such a close walk to the beach and getting there with that awesome wagon was a plus. My boys loved the beach toys and floaties for the pool. It was nice to know I didn't have to drag all that stuff with me from home. The beach and pool were both awesome! Darryl was extrememly professional and helpful with his suggestions via email before we had arrived. We had the pleasure of meeting him when we left and couldn't thank him enough for a most memorable, enjoyable stay. Darryl and his wife Isabel clearly have their guests' interests at heart and take great care of the condo to keep people coming back for more. We have already recommended your condo to our family and friends as we beleive it is so worth every penny. Thank you again for a great week!

I'll start by saying this was our first visit to the St Pete gulf coast area so had no idea what to expect of the community. All worries were cast aside the second we drove in on Park Blvd and crossed the bridge into Indian Shore and we immediately sensed there was a good balance of sophistication and casualness in the community. Gulf Blvd between the bridge and condo was sparkling clean and lined with places and restaurants we immediately looked forward to visiting.

Now to the condo, all I can is, WOW!!! It is beautifully, tastefully, comfortably decorated, and huge. After our long drive it was so nice to be able to stretch out. Our fantastic hosts, Isabel and Glenn, generously left a wonderful welcome basket full of goodies and nice cold bottled water in the fridge, which was a wonderful treat.

Five minutes after walking into the condo we were on the large deck off the living area watching a pair of bottlenose dolphins swimming by!!! Absolutely incredible. What a great start to our week here at Gulf Retreat. We spent a fair amount of time throughout the week here on the deck watching dolphin, osprey, and yes, manatee!!! Our two kids just absolutely loved it all.

Back to the condo, have I mentioned anything about the bedrooms? The kids (6 and 12) found their room, complete with twin beds and their own small tv, and right next to their own bathroom, which was just great and perfect for the two of them. Now the master bedroom, again with another WOW!!! What a great big beautiful suite with huge windows and access to the deck and more of the fantastic waterview. There was just something so relaxing and restful about the night view with the lights across the water and then waking again to that waterview. Geez, I'm missing it right now that I'm writing this...

Thanks Isabel, Thanks Glenn, for letting us stay at your place. Our family really looks forward to visiting again someday, hopefully soon...

This condo was so beautiful. It was also very clean (spotless!!!). The owners took care of everything. We have a baby and they had the highchair ready , safety tub supplies, toys and the crib set up with a diaper by it!! They also had a lovely gift basket waiting for us.
The view was spectactular of the bay. The computer was in a perfect spot and all the TV's were great. The beach was so close to the condo and the wagon to pull all the beach toys was perfect. The beach was also beautiful and not overcrowded. You really couldn't ask for anything more in a rental. I would recommend this place to anyone and if I come back to Indian Shores I hope to stay here again. Thanks for a great week!!!

The condo exceeded our expectations .We immediately felt at home . It was very clean and well maintained . Plus it's huge . I don't think we needed anything that wasn't provided . Thank you so much for making our first trip to Florida a memorable one . We will be back .

We were impressed by Gulf Retreat #2 the moment we walked in. And the welcome basket was such a nice touch.

Spacious, and beautifully furnished, super-clean and comfortable, we found it to be exactly as advertised. The master bedroom and ensuite were an absolute dream with 2 walk-ins. The kitchen was very well-equipped, the kettle and teapot especially appreciated. The view of the coastal waters from both the master bedroom and living-room was marvelous and we spent hours watching the birds from the balcony.

Free internet and long-distance calls to US and Canada were an added bonus, which we enjoyed.

The owner was readlily available when we tried to reach him for a technical problem, which he was able to solve over the phone.

Having rented in Indian Shores on two other occasions, and having run the gammet of availability in the area, I can vouch that it would be very difficult indeed, to find a nicer place at this price. I would highly recommend it to any of my friends and family, especially the more fussy ones.
