The view of the beach was great and sunsets were beautiful. The beach was busy, but our area was not crowded. The condo was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. We were grateful for the assigned parking and the location of the Chateaux in Indian Shores. We walked to a few places to eat and others were not far to drive.

Annual Family Florida Trip

We were very happy with our stay. We stayed in a different condo across the street the previous year and reserved this place before we left so we knew what the building looked like beforehand. But when we finally got to the condo it was super clean and well put together. The giant glass wall/slider door facing the ocean was just awesome! Our 8 and 12 y/o loved it also even though they had to sleep on the pull out couch. We would definitely stay again.

Great 1 Bedroom condo with a Gulf view

We enjoyed our stay at Chateaux 305. It had all the furnishings that we needed, but I wish it had an ice maker in the fridge instead of ice trays. Beautiful Gulf view and lovely pool area too. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Bed was comfy with blackout curtains. We had trouble w/Wifi the first day but it was resolved. Was disappointed in Plumlee staff - they told me they would call me when the condo was ready. At 12pm, it only needed to be inspected. And when I called at 3:45, I was told it was ready - but we had been sitting in the parking lot so there was no cleaning lady that left at 3:45. This is the only time that I have had an issue w/Plumlee.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2022
Renee, Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Chateaux 305. Our check in time is 4 PM. On rare occasions we do have the condo ready early but it is rare, especially in the spring and summer. We do send in an inspector after the cleaner, but if you were parked in the parking space for the unit, the inspector would have had nowhere to park. This was most likely the reason for the delay. We do allow guests to park at our office, if they arrive early to walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach, but access to the property starts at 4 PM to allow cleaners and inspectors to use needed parking spaces prior the condo being ready. We hope to welcome you back soon! Plumlee Gulf Beach Realty

Awesome location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Chateau..awesome location and view..the only negative was the carpet was in horrible shape and needs replaced and elevator was broken when we checked in so we had to make multiple trips up to the 3rd floor to unload..it was fixed quickly when we notified them..would definitely stay here again..total relaxation and close to great restaurants.

Elevator Down - end of story

For the amount of money I spent - I am very disappointed in the elevator situation. I won't stay there again. This is NOT the first time we've stayed here and we love everything about it, but the elevator. My elderly mother couldn't stay with us b/c of this.

Great stay

Location is amazing, just steps from being on the beach. Beachfront private balcony. Mini golf right across street, but not much else (restaurants or ice cream) within walking distance, so glad we had a rental car. Having to go to a different location a couple miles away for checkin and such was kind of a pain. Free daily bike rentals is a nice perk. Unit was spacious for the 4 of us, clean, bright, king bed comfort just ok. Pullout bed had sheet linens and pillows, but no blanket. Coin laundry room on 1st floor, not in unit. Clean pool, not overly crowded when we were there. We liked the fact that entrance/exit to beach access and pool required a gate code.

Juli, Thank you for your review. The great thing about our area is the local trolley that runs every half hour to go to the more touristy areas. Our office is located on the island as soon as you come off the draw bridge. You have to pass right by us when you come onto the island. Most guests prefer the convenience of our location and having us close by if they need us. We would have been happy to bring you a blanket if we had known. We do hope you will stay with us again soon. Plumlee Gulf Beach Realty

The condo was as pictured in the listing and the check-in process was a breeze-very organized! I loved the fact that there was a code to enter the condo vs a key- very convenient. The balcony made the whole place though and the view was magnificent. The pool was clean but there were always kids in there so we swam in the Gulf, which was clean and great.
