Was a great vacation from check-in to check-out. The condo was clean and had all necessities from beach gear to kitchen utensils. The morning was great to relax on the intercostal and pool area. The beach was a quick walk with excellent views. We will definately try to book another vacation here.
Host - by email so very attentive to our needs and request. It was a high priority for him that we were comfortable and happy.Eg there was a problem with the washer that he ensured was resolved so that the inconvenience was minimised.Location amazing.
James is awesome. We had a small issue with the fridge and within 2 hours a brand new mini-fridge was delivered to get us through a day until everything was good with the regular fridge. He answered my questions very quickly.

Thanks for the review, hope you had a great trip and stay with us again!
Great value & we loved quiet waters. Not very busy, nice pool, and easy access to the beach. The sliding glass doors need some attention as they didn’t close all the way but other than that it was great. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
We had such a great stay here! The unit is very spacious, clean, and so well stocked. The pool and hot tub were a great bonus. The beach is right across the street and so pristine and relaxing. The location is perfect, with many great spots and attractions just a short drive away. We had such an enjoyable vacation here, highly recommend!

Great to hear, come back and stay with us again some time!
We enjoyed our stay at Quiet Waters. Great location across from The Gulf. Our place faced Gulf Boulevard and was a bit noisy with the traffic. Pool and hot tub were nice.
We had a great stay! The pool and dock was great for catching some sun and reading. The WiFi was fast, as I had to work a few days during my stay. Close walk to Caddy’s and the beach access is right across the street! Highly recommend
This property was perfect for our family. The walk to the beach was literally across the street & was no problem for our special needs 5 year old. Neither the beach nor the pool on-site were crowded and waking to dinner at Caddy’s was fun. Thanks for a great stay!
We stayed at this property for 12 nights with our 4 children ages 20, 18, 11, and 7. This was our first time in IRB. It was amazing and we will definitely be back! The property was perfect for us. Enough room for all of us and had everything we needed. Beach was easily accessible right across the street. We saw dolphins daily and even a manatee and a few stingrays. We usually visit Destin but all the kids agreed they preferred IRB with it's calm waters and less crowding.
Not only was the location perfect, our host made sure the condo was comfortable. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys available to use which saved us alot of money. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Glad you had a great stay, and we hope to have you back again down the road!
The master bedroom - the bed: heaven. I slept great. Anything you forgot to bring, the condo had. It was well stocked with anything you needed. We were able to enjoy the grill, pool, and hot tub. Beach was just a short walk, like 2 minutes, and it was not busy at all. We loved it, would book again.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Unit nice but bed in second bedroom extremely hard and uncomfortable. Also a lot of work going on, on outside of bldg. that we were unaware of when we booked. Pool locked from 10p-8am and this also includes the fishing area so if you wanna fish you can only from 8am-10p.
As a family we really enjoyed our stay. The condo had everything we needed. It was pretty clean however the place does need some renovations. Cracked tiles and floor coverings are old and becoming unglued. That did not stop us from having a good vacation. Easy access to pool and beach was important and this place had that.
Everything was just as described. Anything we needed was right at our fingertips just like home. The beach is a very short walk just across the street. Communication with the property manager was quick and easy. He was really helpful with everything. The pool was amazing as well. Nice and warm and clean! My family really enjoyed our stay and will definitely look into this place again next year.

Thanks for staying with us, and glad you had a great time. Hopefully we will be able to serve you again sometime down the road!
Everything was exactly as it was explained on the Vrbo website. James is excellent with communication. Very clean, well stocked, and plenty of items to cook with. The only recommendation in the kitchen would be to get a keruig coffee maker. A/C was perfect. Towels & linens were nice along with beach towels. There was a carry cooler, ice packs in freezer, beach umbrella, 5 beach chairs, and lots of noodles to float on in the water. Perfect location. Caddy's was our favorite restaurant. Walk to it! Quiet and peaceful at night. Master bedroom and bathroom are huge! Lots of leftover products to use under sinks. Enjoy! We will be back!

Hi there! Thank you for your review. We did have a keurig, but we have found the ones we get keep getting broken! So hopefully by the next time you visit we will have figured out a tough option for that. Thanks again!
A bargain stay - great location, everything we need
We've stayed in this area on several previous occasions, and have paid a lot more for a lot less! The location is perfect - just across the road from a sandy path to the beach, where we spent most days. The condo is spacious, with plenty of room for two of us, and would also be large enough for 4 people. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable - we slept extremely well every night. The shower in the en-suite was large and water was hot (we didn't use the shower or tub in the other bathroom, but they looked just fine). Kitchen has everything you could need. The washing machine and tumble dryer were excellent - washed and dried well and meant we didn't need to bring so many clothes with us. The owner was always prompt when we messaged him, both before and during the stay. All in all a fantastic stay, and we will definitely stay here again next time we visit the area.
Overall, it was a good stay, but there were some things that needed some attention. Like there were tiles that flexed when walked on that caused grout to crack and come up. As well as the kitchen had ants or some type of Nat on the counters at all times. Other than those issues, it was actually a really great property quiet, close to the beach, great restaurants and activities nearby, and the pool and hot tub were really clean generally nobody bothered you.

Hi there! And thanks for the feedback. I'm the future, if you see anything like insects or gnats, please let us know, as the building has a pest control contract and would have happily put some ant bait or similar down.
The condo was immaculately clean and had all the conveniences we needed for our week long stay. The pool and grill area was nice to use in the great weather we had, and cooking indoors worked out well too. Being so close to the beach meant we could come back for lunch rather than packing and hauling everything with us for the day.
The area was great-- for walking, cycling, beach-going, all manner of food options. A short drive away are larger grocery stores and such, but not so near as to encroach on the beach "feel" of this sort of vacation. St Petersburg is quite close as well (about a half hour drive) so we were able to visit the beautiful, lively harbor area.
Orlando was an easy drive, so we did that as a day trip too (about 1 1/2 hour commute).
We were very happy with our stay and felt really lucky that we booked this great accommodation.

About the host
Hosted by James RePass
I am a Navy veteran, having served on submarines, who has been coming to this family spot since I was a newborn. I currently work in the Data Center tech field and reside in Virginia with my wife.
Why they chose this property
My father first discovered the beautfil small town of Indian Shores when he was a reporter for the St Pete times in the late 70's, who bought in this building, and we have been coming ever since.
Indian shores sits on a narrow barrier island in the gulf, allowing this building to sit right on the Intracoastal Waterway, while enjoying private access to the beach directly across the street. It is an amazing, quiet, and relaxing getaway, with gorgeous beaches that are never crowded.
There are plenty of local restaurants, bars, and attractions, and the location is also a short trip to the cities of Clearwater, St Pete, and Tampa, making it very easy to get to and from, and providing easy access to big city amenities and night life for those looking for that as well.
Overall we feel that you will come to love this place as much as we have, and join our repeat renters, many of whom have been renting with us for over a decade, and some for over two decades.
What makes this property unique
Spacious interior living, excellent location, quiet surrounds that doesn't put you too far from major attractions, combined with the private access to the beach.
