We were very disappointed with the elevator being down more than it was up and the air conditioning being locked to only go down to 70. The floor was filthy. We have been staying here for many years and it has really gone downhill. Very sad.

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience and understand your disappointment. The elevator has been undergoing necessary maintenance due to hurricane-related damage, but we’re happy to share it is now fully operational.
Regarding the air conditioning, there is no lock on the thermostat, but it sounds like it may have been accidentally put into a restricted mode. Had we known during your stay, we would have been more than happy to walk you through fixing it or send someone out right away. We always want our guests to be comfortable and encourage reaching out so we can address any concerns immediately.
We're grateful that you've chosen to stay with us over the years and hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
The only downside was the cleanliness of the unit.

Great Views, not a great stay.
If you love carrying up luggage 5 flights of stairs and then getting groceries and carrying those up 5 flights of stairs and going to the beach or pool and up and down 5 flights of stairs each time then this codo is perfect for you! The view was great but thats about it. Beach was windy and rough. Heated pool worked most of the time but not very clean. Room was not very clean with a non working toilet in the master bedroom. Kitchen cabinets had no hardware so kids could not open the drawers easily. Not worth the money thats fornsure.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay was impacted by not having a working elevator. Unfortunately, the elevator was damaged by the hurricane and has been unavailable. While the repairs are underway, we have reduced the rates for this unit and we also offered to move you to another unit if the stairs would be an issue. We understand how frustrating it can be to have your vacation disrupted in this way, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We take all guest feedback seriously and we appreciate your patience and understanding as the construction of the elevator is underway. We will pass on your request for hardware on the cabinet to the owner, and are working to resolve the toilet issue, the toilet needs to be replaced but with no working elevator, it is making it difficult unfortunately, but we are working on it! Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.

We have been staying at the Chateaux off and on for over 40 years. The property is always well maintained. I would recommend that the owner of unit 503 update furniture on the balcony. The chairs were worn, cushions were worn and dirty. Way to many chairs for a small space. Took away from the beautiful sunsets.

We've been to Indian Shores at least 10 times before, but we always stayed across the street on the inter-coastal water-way. This was the first time we stayed right on the beach and it was absolutely fabulous. we'll never go back to the other side of Gulf Blvd. The balcony view overlooking the beach, the Gulf, and the pool was amazing, and walking right out into the beach was perfect. The condo unit itself was nicely furnished, comfortable, and stocked with all the kitchen supplies that we needed. It's centrally located for short trips to Tampa, St Pete, and Clearwater. We plan to return next year and for years to come.

Owners should supply chairs and tents for renters. We had to fly so could not bring them from home. Chairs and tent that were left from previous renters were rusty and broken. We had to go out and buy everything for 4 people. Too much of an expense for us. For the price of the condos here, they should have them to use. Everything else was perfect

Thank you for your review. Some of our owners do supply chairs for the renters, however as you saw, some guests do not take care of them. There are other options available, you could always rent by the week. We do hope you did enjoy your visit and hope to see you again.

Reviewer Comments:
I'm normally not one for reviews but I will make an exception for this vacation. I will start with we got a great price on a lovely unit that overlooked the ocean. From start to finish everything was simple and easy, no issues whatever. The unit is located in a fantastic area that is not crowded and very family oriented. The balcony made the stay, we ate every meal that we were at the unit on the balcony. The unit had two TVs but I'm not sure if they work because they were never turned on. With such a beautiful view who would turn a tv on? Also, their is a nice pool but like with the TVs we never used it. With the beautiful ocean in front of us we never had any desire to use the pool. It was the best, most relaxing vacation my wife and I ever took. Their are things in the area to do but we just wanted to enjoy relaxing, watching the surf, taking walks and enjoy the moment. It's the type of place you can leave your stuff on the beach, leave for lunch and return with no worries. I would highly recommend this unit and this area for a couples get away. We were saddened to have to leave. Thanks to owners and staff for an wonderful vacation my wife and I really needed this !!

Not as nice as described
We were disappointed by VRBO property in another location that decided very late in the summer to tell us that they had decided to kick us out because the building owners were repainting the entire building. At this point most everything in the area we wanted was already reserved. We were helped by Florida Lifestyle to find another condo on the beach that we and our friends could rent. Upon arrival we noticed how dirty the place was…we had to call the building management regarding several issues including: no hot water, a clogged shower, broken blinds at dining room window and guest bedroom window, guest bedroom window was sticking and would hardly open. We also told them that the balcony light was out and that the sliding patio door screen was sliced from top to bottom (where someone likely walked through the screen), broken lamp in guest bedroom, and light bulbs out in master bedroom and bath fixtures. Upon speaking with building management we were told that there are often complaints on this unit and that it is not under their direct responsibility because the owners have private management elsewhere and almost never approve repairs. The pool and beach area were wonderful and we may have had better luck if done directly with Holiday Villas III office but we were unhappy with this unit (606).

Reviewer Comments:
The condo building has had a new paint job, very nice colour. Condo room was comfortable, nicely decorated, and well equipped. Didn't understand the electric toilet in the additional bathroom.
There are quite a few positive features about this rental - the best being the view from the balcony. Although the picture of the rental made it appear as though it was the corner unit on the top floor (with a side and front view balcony), it's actually the second unit on the top floor with just a front view of the water. The beach was clean and not very crowded. The vibe was laid back and not touristy.
The condo was very clean. Good linens and plenty of towels. The half bath off the bedroom used to be a closet and needs to return to its original state - odd. There's no washer/dryer in the unit but there is one somewhere downstairs. We never looked for it.
Renters need to pick up keys from a management service about 6 blocks from the condo. It would be much more convenient to have a key pad for access. Parking space was assigned and was plenty big for our large car rental. Access to the beach was convenient and secured with 2 gates that required codes to open.
Overall, it was a good rental for one couple. It's not designed for more than 2 people since the couches do not open into beds. Good TV and strong internet connection. Easy check-out, too.

That was our second stay at this place and it was great again. Condo is perfectly located, literally on the beach, close to restaurants, shops or mini golf course.It is ideally small (1 bedroom) - perfectly comfortable for the couple and sufficient for smaller family with max. 2 kids (thanx to additional Murphy bed in living room). It is well equipped with everything that you would need during holidays (starting from kitchen utensils, sheets and towels, through books or DVDs to beach toys, chairs, umbrellas or a beach tent).Apart from few dust bunnies on our arrival and quite slow internet (at least in comparison to our European standards - 1 Mbps there vs. 75 Mbps at home), everything else was really OK.I honestly recommend it to anybody.
