About this property

Spectacular Oceanfront Condo with Sweeping Views! on the Gulf

This lovely 2-bedroom/2-bathroom OCEAN FRONT condominium is a corner unit located in 'The Pointe' oceanfront property on Indian Shores Beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Indian Shores is a charming and relaxed gulf coast community just 18 miles west of Tampa in the middle of an island with Clearwater to the north and St. Petersburg Beach to the south.

The condo is located directly on Indian Shores / Indian Rocks Beach and is across the street from The Salt Rock Bar and Grill (one of the best restaurants in the area)... The complex is called The Pointe because we sit out the farthest of any complex on the sand making us the closest to the water. Being a corner unit with nothing infront of or beside us gives this unit one of the most panoramic views possible. This corner unit comes fully furnished with all stainless steel appliances, granite counters, maple cabinets, custom bathrooms with full tile, Berber carpet, custom furniture, furnished private balcony etc.

Our Florida gulf coast condo in Indian Shores features a 3rd floor, private corner balcony with patio furniture and has a beautiful view that looks all the way out and all the way down the gulf on both sides! A reserved parking space in our under-the-building parking garage protects your vehicle from heating up in the hot Florida sun.

For your entertainment, there is 60" HIGH DEFINITION LCD FLAT SCREEN Cable TV with several premium and on demand movie channels all included, a VCR, DVD/Blu-Ray player and stereo in the living room. We even include a DVD library with over 50 top box office titles. Our Florida gulf coast family condo has a beautiful, modern, full-size kitchen that includes all stainless steel appliances and includes a large refrigerator with ice maker, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffeemaker, cookware, bake ware, glasses and utensils. The kitchen even comes complete with a high end KEURIG coffee brewer.

The master bedroom has a QUEEN-size bed and private full bath and the windows even feature shades with a light blocking feature to let you sleep away the day if you like! The second bedroom has a QUEEN-size bed and separate full bath. There is also a new pull out sleeper sofa with high end sleeper mattress.

Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay is only 45 minutes and Orlando Theme Parks (Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, MGM, Epcott Center) are about 90 minutes. Surrounded by warm, gentle surf and plenty to do, or do nothing but relax and walk barefoot on the beautiful, white sandy beach right outside your door.

Easy access to all central Florida and gulf coast world-famous attractions, including Disney, Orlando theme parks, Universal Studios, MGM, Wet and Wild Water Park, Epcot Center. Our luxury gulf coast Florida vacation condo is only 45 minutes from Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay. Walk to mini-market, great restaurants, shops and entertainment. Enjoy beachside volleyball, swimming in the warm Florida gulf coast waters, sunning, snorkeling, shelling, sand castles, fishing, boogie boarding, parasailing, miniature golf, public golf courses and glorious sunsets.

My wife and I have stayed at dozens of beach condos over the years, we found this place in Indian Shores to be special and at the top of our list of favorites. The condo feels like a mini art gallery, well decorated and with wall art and descriptions throughout. We greatly appreciated all the little bonus amenities like paper towels, soaps, coffee k-cups, etc that helped save what you normally have to purchase. The balcony offers a great view and the tall furniture allows you really enjoy the scenery without looking through railing. I would book again.

The property was perfect with a beautiful view right on the ocean. There is beautiful artwork throughout the whole condo. The Sea Star is an absolute must if you are vacationing in Indian Shores. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

This is an awesome place to stay!! The elevator was broken due to the storm, the owner of the unit called to let us know before we arrived, he give a discount fit to having to climb the stairs🤪 The place was clean, great view.

Amazing sunset views, wonderful beach!

We just returned from 5 wonderful days at The Pointe. The condo met all the needs of our family. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the deck. Steps from the beach! Condo was spacious and clean. Anyone who want to relax, be in beautiful surroundings this is the place for you. Close enough to visit all the local tourist spots. Owner was very helpful and accommodating before and during our stay.

Enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo. Loved overlooking the beach and the Condo was beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. The building as a whole could use a little TLC in the maintenance department. This is no reflection on the condo itself.

The condo itself is beautiful & and the ocean view comes right into the living area. Spectacular!

Lyle has been the best landlord; he always is quick to respond to our questions & is very personable. We have stayed in the condo for the last 2 years & will return again next year. We just love it! IThe condo is not only comfy & well taken care of, but very light & bright with high end finishes. We have been winter renters for 6 years & this is by far the best place we have ever rented.

one of the best

My husband and I came with our two little dogs for a week. The condo is amazing, clean, and even better than the pictures shown. The kitchen is adequately stocked with dishes, pots and pans. I loved having the vacuums to clean the sand from the beach that inevitably came in. We throughly enjoyed waking up and enjoying our coffee on the balcony and seeing dolphins swim! The beach was also great. We spent every day by the water enjoying the best weather Florida has to offer 🌞! The location is the perfect- have a couple of restaurants close… but still a residential vibe- and traffic isn’t crazy. This made it nice for taking the dogs out for walks. Thank you Lyle for sharing your wonderful condo!

Great Beachfront Location

Overall we had a wonderful time! Can't beat the views and proximity to the beach. Our favorite thing was to sit on the deck and watch the sunset or just enjoy the sounds of the ocean. We went right after the tropical storm/hurricane so the beach wasn't as pretty as we were hoping (lots of seaweed and just "ocean junk" washed up in front of condo). The condo itself is cute and we liked the layout. Perfect for my sister and I. She had an 11-month old and having the room separated the way it is was perfect! The condo does has a stroller and a pack-n-play for anyone with small children. The dishwasher appeared to have been left with dirty dishes upon arrival but overall the condo was clean. There is an unfinished look to it though... which really doesn't impact the quality of the stay since you're at the beach. Just seemed odd like someone walked away from unfinished home repair projects throughout the condo. Receiving instructions on check-in before our arrival was a bit difficult. I assume this website was having issues, since the owner stated he sent instructions and I didn't receive anything after numerous requests through this website (which is how I was directed to communicate). Finally a couple hours before check in (and after driving all the way from New Orleans, LA) I emailed his personal email (again - form of communication suggested through this listing) and I received a response that felt a little harsh. Aside from answering one other question I had earlier in the reservation process, that was the only communication I received from the owners. That part I definitely would rate as disappointing based on past experiences with other properties... but we got in and that's all that really matters. Parking is a nightmare. There was an extremely large truck parked next to the parking spot for this condo (which is alongside a coment wall) for most of our stay. Because of people hanging out and partying in the storage units near the elevators (and immediately across from these spots in the garage), it was nearly impossible to get in and out of the spot without having someone else guide you. The later in the day, the more intoxicated these individuals got and they would be basically spread all over the parking structure. Guest parking doesn't exist so be aware of that ahead of time. Definitely have quarters if you want to do any laundry. $2 per load (wash and dry so $4 per load of laundry). Dogs are NOT allowed on beach.

About the host

Hosted by Lyle Bentley

Host profile image
I have always been a water person for recreation and loved owning and fixing up real estate professionally.

Why they chose this property

I have always love the beach and the water. When I started looking to buy a place I found this property early on but kept looking. NOTHING else I saw had a view that was even close. Most had a building next to you or in front of you and just didn't have the same sweeping views. It was one of a kind.

What makes this property unique

I remodeled the condo as owner occupied while I was spending a couple weeks a month in Florida for work. Now that my work has ended I get to share it with all the great folks on VRBO. ENJOY!
