Very clean and spacious place to stay! It’s very close to the beach and has a balcony overlooking the waterway. We saw many dolphins off the balcony and discovered the “snake bird” which is now my favorite bird!! So cool! If you are active, Green Iguana rentals is .3 miles away with bike rentals. We biked to Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve which has a beautiful walkway through the mangroves and a really cool kids playground. Caddy’s is a great restaurant with a .3 mile walk. The beach here is not crowded and allows you to really enjoy it. Our hosts provided a very thoughtful gift basket that included a meal to fix, which we were grateful for when we arrived with hungry kiddos! Perfect place to stay!

Best views of the lagoon

The house is very spacious and has all the amenities that a family needs. It is a 5 min walk to the beach and has a great view of the water. You can even catch the sunset from the balcony. The communication with the host was great too.

Relaxing Stay, Fantastic View in Indian Shores

Our family enjoyed this condo in Indian Shores. The condo was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. We especially enjoyed being able to use the beach chairs, umbrellas and toys. The beach at Indian Shores can’t be beat! We also loved the view from the condo’s balcony along with the pool. This was a great spot for a family beach trip.

Another awesome stay at Gulf Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at this condo in Indian Shores very much! As always, it felt like our "home away from home". Until next time, we will miss seeing sunrises from bed and the dolphins swimming past as we enjoy our morning coffee on the pier! Thank you Darryl & Isabel for sharing your beautiful condo with us again!

Beautiful property in a perfect location. The views from the living room and master bedroom are breathtaking. We even spotted a few dolphins! Beach is within walking distance, as well as a number of dining options. Clearwater, St. Pete’s and Tampa are all within reasonable driving distance (30-45 mins). Overall, great experience, highly recommend.

Amazing view and great location

We loved our stay at this condo! It was extremely clean, and it was perfect for our beach trip with kids. We really appreciated that the host had so many things there that we could use (that we didn’t have to pack), including a beach wagon, coolers, beach toys, floats, pool noodles, chairs, and more. It was only a five minute walk to the beach. Amazing view. We can’t wait to stay here again.

Clean and Convenient

Very pleased with our decision to stay here in Indian Shores. This vacation home is exceptionally clean and convenient to all the sites and restaurants. If we come to Indian Shores again we would definitely choose this home. Darryl was very quick to respond when we had one very minor issue with the TV when we arrived.

Home away from home

We have been coming to Gulf Retreat for years. The property is clean, quiet, just what we need when we are on vacation. Breakfast on the balcony. We watch the dolphins in the intracoastal waterway and the boats. Eat at our favorite restaurants (found a cute little bakery just down the road), just relax. Darryl & Isabel are amazing hosts!

Family Vacations

This condo was absolutely amazing. We woke up daily to manatees, dolphins, and beautiful birds in the bay. We watched boats go by daily. The short walk to the beach was great. All the beach toys, chairs, and coolers were great. Thank you so much for the sweet gift basket when we arrived. Our family enjoyed it so much. Also the condo felt so much like home we cannot wait to go back!!

The view was amazing! The unit is large and very accommodating for the two of us. Beach chairs, an umbrella, a wagon and towels, though limited, were what we needed for the beach.The kitchen is also large and ready for whatever you need. The only drawback, which we have addressed with the owner was the uncomfortable nature of the mattress in the master.

Great Condo in Indian Shores

Great condo right across from the beach with a water view. Quiet place and plenty of space inside. Loved the views from the living room and master bedroom. Could use a few upgrades but overall a wonderful stay and would stay again. Having the use of a garage was amazing and appreciated the beach gear. Hosts were very communicative and easy to get in touch with.

Thanksgiving getaway!

This is the most beautiful condo we have ever rented. It was elegant inside with a spectacular view! The location was perfect and we enjoyed the local restaurants. We spent 5 lovely, quiet, peaceful nights here, and on two of the nights our 9 and 10 year old grandchildren stayed with us. They were equally impressed with this property! It is only 20 minutes from our son's house so we hope to return often! Many thanks to Darryl and Isabel for making us feel so welcome and so comfortable!
