Simply Perfect Beach Escape!

We loved everything about our stay!The condo was comfortable, clean and quiet with lovely beachy, updated decor. There was more than enough room for 5 of us with a great layout. We appreciated all the special touches and the big, beautiful kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The views of the ocean are breathtaking from both inside and out! We enjoyed the large, private balcony and easy access to the beach/pool area. The kids loved the closet filled with beach toys etc… Highly recommend !

Perfect Place and Location

The condo was in great shape and location was perfect between Clearwater and St. John's Pass. The condo was pretty much a TurnKey operation as it had beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, coolers and all needed cook wear. The pool, hot tub and beach were clean, not crowded and you did not need to save pool chairs in the morning. The property had a gas grill for cooking that we saw people using. We especially liked the location as it felt more like a small resort town with friendly eateries and stores close by. If you wanted a night of faster paced excitement you can take a short drive to Clearwater. The owners made it truly easy to rent and access the property. We would definitely recommend this condo to our friends.

Absolutely Perfect – Our Favorite Florida Stay Yet!We’ve been coming to Florida for nearly 4 years, and this condo at Sandcastle 3 has been the best spot we’ve found by far! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with stunning ocean views, a spotless space, and beautiful, cozy decor that truly made it feel like home.Everyone in our group had their own space, and the master bedroom with ocean views was a dream. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could need (and more!), and having in-unit laundry was such a bonus.We loved the large dining table for meals and game nights, and the beach closet was a treasure—chairs, umbrellas, toys, you name it! The hosts thought of everything and were amazing with communication throughout.If you’re looking for a relaxing, family-friendly home away from home where you can make unforgettable memories, this is it. We’re already planning our next stay!

Great Vacation with Minor Issues

The property was just as described. It was very clean and very well stocked with many extras. It even included beach chairs and other various beach related items. The only reason I couldn’t give a perfect score was the bed in the master bedroom collapsed twice during our stay. After communicating with the owner found they were aware of the issue and planned to fix in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Brightman

Host profile image
Glenn and I lived in the Tampa/St. Pete area before moving to Charlotte, NC. We missed being close to the Gulf and looked for 4 years before finding the perfect condo for our family vacations. In those 4 years it became apparent that the owners of the condos that we rented rarely or never stayed in their condos. For us, one of the best parts of owning a vacation condo is that we can visit it and make it better every time we are there. We love sharing our special piece of paradise with our guests and hope that you love it as much as we do!

We have renovated the condo with a high level of quality and style for your comfort and enjoyment.

Why they chose this property

We visited Indian Shores often when we lived in Florida and when we were looking for a condo we agreed that this was the most beautiful part of the Tampa Bay/St. Pete Gulf Coast. Indian Shores is a quaint beach town with great restaurants, bike/walking lanes and lots and lots of white powdery sand.

What makes this property unique

Our condo offers fantastic sunsets viewed from our large balcony, the convenience of a full kitchen and ensuite laundry, comfortable furniture and many extras that enhance our guests' stay. We provide all you need for a relaxing vacation - you provide the bathing suit. For those who need to work or study while relaxing at the beach, our unit has excellent WiFi coverage. Just kick back and listen to the waves while you enjoy the sunset!
