Photos and Description of the Indian Shores vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Newly renovated beach condo. Enjoy the warm Gulf breezes as you sit on your waterfront balcony. This 1400 sq ft condo is 1 of the largest in the area. It's great for a romantic getaway or family time together. You'll have 2 queen size beds and bunk beds!!! Maximum occupancy is 6 people.

The beautiful interior includes a full kitchen AND washer/dryer. There's a 2 car enclosed garage, private heated pool, beach chairs, toys and towels. The beach is about 100 steps away. When you get tired of relaxing on the sand or reading by the pool, there's even a private fishing pier that is yours to watch the boats or catch some fish. Restaurants and shops are close by, some even within walking distance. A trolley takes you up and down Gulf Blvd so you can explore all the beaches. There's a stop next to the condo property. All you have to do is show up, sit back and enjoy.

About Patrik & Eva Albertsson

We have owned the condo since 2009. We spent a lot of time this summer upgrading it and we are very happy with the results. We live in Pittsburgh, PA, so we can only come down every so often and we are renting out the condo when we can not use it ourselves.

Patrik & Eva Albertsson purchased this condo in 2009
Why Patrik & Eva Albertsson chose Indian Shores

Indian Shores is the quietest, most relaxed part of Sand Key, the barrier island that runs along the Gulf shore from St Pete to Clearwater. It is the narrowest part of Sand Key, only about 200 yards across where we are located. That means you can enjoy both the Gulf of Mexico and the Inter-coastal waterway only a few steps apart. Indian Shores is the last part of the coastline in Pinellas County that preserves the small-town feel. Gulf Blvd is still only one lane in each direction here with a slow speed limit. There is a lot less asphalt compared to the areas north and south of Indian Shores, a lot fewer high-rise buildings and none of the tourist traps. While you will find all the restaurants and conveniences you need nearby, Indian Shores is still primarily a family oriented community.

What makes this condo unique

Our view is of the Inter-coastal waterway, the body of water that separates Sand Key from the mainland. There are dolphins to see, they are most active in the mornings and evenings. Manatees are a little harder to spot but they are there too. When the tide is low there is a sandbar that emerges just off our balcony. The seabirds all come to feed there and it is wonderful entertainment.

Wonderful Condo and Wonderful People

We were very impressed with the cleanliness and order of the condo. It looks exactly as it does in the pictures, only better. The kids were excited about the boogie boards, floats and sand toys that we didn't have to BUY and leave down there, since the Albertssons already have everything you need. The beach was perfect - we had a "regular" spot we stayed at each day, and the best thing was how relaxing and not crowded that area of the beach is. The kids spent most of their time collecting shells, digging in the sand and making sand castles. The best place we ate was Crabby Bill's, and one night we went into Clearwater on a sunset catamaran cruise. Patrik (owner) was extremely quick with email replies, so it really makes staying here more personal than renting from a management company. We would definitely stay again!

First let me say that dealing with the property owners, Eva and Patrik was the most wonderful experience. They are so friendly and helpful, providing the best in service that I've ever experienced.
Secondly, their condo has to be one of the best places that I have ever visited. The photos that they have posted on the site, do not do the place any justice whatsoever. The amount of space in there is remarkable! We had a full house almost everyday and we never felt crowded. This I think really made for a great vacation.

Though I live locally, I've never been in the Indian Shores area and I have to say that it's really wonderful. The condo is in an ideal location located extremely close to the beach which is literally less than a 5 minute walk away. The beach was quiet and everyone was so friendly. Even on the 4th of July when the beachs are typically over crowded, it was nothing like when you're further down in the Maderia, St. Pete beach area. There's also a little pier at the back of the complex and my father (who lives overseas) enjoyed it immensly spending hours back there, sometimes engaging with friendly neighbours or just enjoying the scenic views of the Gulf. This place just has everything you need for an escape.

The condo is also ideally placed for some of the nicest restaurants in town. We visited Salt Rock Grill, a mere 3 minute drive away as well as some other local delights, though sadly we never did make it to The Pub, which I've heard is excellent too.

So thanks again to Patrik and Eva for really helping making our vacation an excellent one. You really do know how to make someone feel as though they are home away from home.

Thank you very much for giving us such a wonderful place to stay! The location is perfect for a family vacation. All the little extras made it seem like a second home for us. We were all instantly comfortable. The wagon to haul the beach stuff was awesome. We cant say enough about the beach! It was very sad for us to have to leave. It was a wonderful start to our holiday. We were very relaxed (and fairly red too)!

Many thanks for opening your home to us fellow Mora Swedes! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching for fish and birds. My husband and girls had lots of fun playing with the Gamecube. It is a fun and relaxing trip for our tired-of-the-long-winter family. Many thanks!

Patrik and Eva,

You have a beautiful condo and we enjoyed it so very much. There are so many added touches from a BBq grill & toys for children to an area for us to use the computer, a DVD library with a 52" flat screen TV! It is a great place to relax and enjoy each other even if it is cold and rainy, or sunny outside.

The beach was gorgeous. The water and sound of the waves on shore could easily put you into a most restful sleep. In case you hadnt guessed, we had a wonderful stay!

We had a great time here. All I wanted for my vacation was to lay on the beach with a great book and for my husband to catch fish. We accomplished both. We had great weather, 85 deg every day. Crabby Bill's is a great place to eat. We did not want to leave, but cant wait to come back!

Today was amazing, we took our 14ft John Boat pulling a kayak out to Egmont and Shell Key. It was great we had the island to ourselves. We snorkeled the fort ruins and found great shells. Coming back here at night feels like home. We are really enjoying our time in your home, thanks for sharing it with us!

This has been the perfect week together for our family who is rarely all together since we all are in different parts of the world. The apartment felt like home the moment we stepped inside. And one of the highlights were finding sharks teeth on the beach and following a manatee along the shore. Many special memories were made while here and we are grateful for your willingness to share your beautiful place.
