Host was very responsive with small issue at check in. Resolved quickly. Host thought of everything. Furniture was so comfy, beds were great, charging ports were everywhere. Garage was full of outdoor fun. Kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, beach chairs and cart, life vests.
Checking in and out is very easy. Location is great. The property manager was very responsive to any question and concerns we had durning our stay. All concerns addressed and very pleased with location, accuracy of listing, everyone was so kind, we made friends with those in the community and had an overall great week. Given the location we were able to fit in the pool and beach even with a busy family packed week being in town for a wedding. We will be back for another stay!

We love Indian Shores and this location was great! Easy access to the beach and intercoastal dock was perfect. My grandson fished everyday and we were able to see manatees and Atlantic stingray from the doc. There is a family of raccoons living under the pool deck that were also entertaining. Overall a great experience. The lack of communication from Vacasa regarding the roofing construction was frustrating, loud, and a serious safety concern. Please do better Vacasa

Property is close to beach access and beach is gorgeous. Pool was nice and in the sun all day. Unit is stocked well enough for cooking and is very clean. My only negative is dealing with Vacasa the property's manager. It would have been nice to talk to a person who was local when we had a few minor issues.

Perfect place for our needs
This was just what we were looking for as a place for our family to stay. Clean, updated townhouse with many conveniences. Short walk to the beach and the pool were key factors. Many good restaurants and ice cream shops with in walking distance. Would stay here again

Great condo by a beautiful beach
Condo was exactly as advertised, everything was very clean and comfortable. The beach was a 5 minute walk and was beautiful, we also enjoyed the complex pool. The Kayaks, chairs and paddle boards in the garage are a great touch! We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for reviewing our property and we are glad you had such a great vacation. It is always nice to hear how much guests appreciate this wonderful, fully equipped vacation spot. Your comments are greatly appreciated by our entire team and we hope you will visit us again in the future! Jeff and Gina
Property itself was exactly as described. Perfect location for families looking for a more relaxed atmosphere. When arrived we found our condo door open and someone parked in our parking stall. We found a maintenance man working in the washing machine but finished up quickly. The heated pool was only “heated” on our last day due to maintenance issues.

Great property, nicely updated
Very nice property steps from the dock and across the street from a beach. Very nicely updated, had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Kayaks were fun. Beds very comfortable. Saw dolphins, manatee, birds, and a sting ray off the dock. We would stay here again.
