Luxury Gulf Front Condo - Sand Castle III, Indian Shores - Direct Beach Access

Our vacation home is for people who like to treat themselves well. The luxury oceanfront condo offers you only the best. The unit is located directly on the white sandy beach, with incredible view of the ocean from the private balcony, living room, dining room, master suite and kitchen.

The unit was fully rebuilt to be the owners’ second home and as such, has much more to offer than a typical rental unit. It has a beautifully designed open layout. Come and enjoy your vacation in the luxuriously and elegantly designed and furnished condo, offering features, such as TVs in every room, wine cooler, modern bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, stainless steel appliances, bamboo floors in bedrooms etc. The unit is also conveniently located close to the metropolitan area attractions, shopping and great restaurants.

Our beach is never crowded and brims with soft white sand. Water sports fan, here is your paradise, we have plenty of room for volleyball, kite flying, scuba, etc. Need to rest and relax and see unique sunsets while sipping cocktails, ask no more, our balcony is literally on the water. Mornings are spectacular, see the dolphins swim by as the majestic Pelicans glide serenely over the calm waters.

Will stay here again

We come to the area every year and have stayed in several units, this has been our favorite as far as set up for our family and location. The unit is well stocked and comfortable. Plenty of kitchen and beach supplies for the kids. I forgot to print my parking pass before arriving and Maret was very responsive to help with a solution. We are already discussing booking Maret's unit again next year.

Best vacation condo we have stayed in

The condo is absolutely gorgeous. No complaints and accommodated our family perfectly. The view of the ocean is spectacular with a very short walk to the beach. The pool was never crowded. The owner of the condo was so friendly and was willing to accommodate us to different dates due to a tropical storm. The condo has all of the essentials needed from kitchen supplies, towels, beach toys…you name it! The condo owner was fabulous and very communicative. We will be back for sure! 10 stars!

Great condo

This is a very comfortable and well equipped condo. I loved my stay. I only have a couple of complaints. The worst complaint has nothing to do with this condo, but rather the unit above it. The chairs desperately need some sort of protectors on them to reduce the horrible scratching/sliding noise. The chair moving went on from 6 am until well after 11 pm, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. This would be a very easy and inexpensive fix. I intend to write a letter to the condo association about this, as it was a complaint I heard from numerous guests in other units within the building. I think all owners should perhaps address this problem. The shower head in the master bath was very plugged up. I managed to get some of the jets unplugged but it really might need to be replaced for good water flow. Lastly, the mat on the balcony was fabulous for removing sand from feet/shoes before re-entering the condo! I loved it!

Gorgeous beach location!

The beach/ocean view of this property is incredible. The owner was very responsive, kitchen utensils/pans are very well stocked and the bedrooms were spacious. The designated parking spot is an add-on outside of the parking structure and is much too tight for a large SUV (which happened to be our rental vehicle) but the owners provided a secondary spot in the visitor section. Just know that your vehicle is going to be in the sun. The issues we had were to no fault of the owners - but likely the cleaning/maintenance crews. It took us two days to realize that the TV remotes were disbursed into the wrong bedrooms and once we figured that out, at least two of them had dead batteries. Without having remotes at first, we did a lot of "digging around" for the power buttons on the TV's. The dust was bad...and even worse on top of the fridge. Upon losing a LEGO piece under the kitchen table, we realized that underneath that was also very unclean. One of the showers was broken - only produced hot water. The owner called in maintenance ASAP (awesome!), but it felt strange that the cleaners wouldn't have noticed that before our stay. A few other tidbits - details of the remodel are a little wonky in places....holes cut too big in the walls and very little airflow to the front bedroom. Also, this condo is directly outside the elevator - so expect some noise if you're in the front bedrooms (again, not something the owners can control....just an FYI). Overall, nice property.

Amazing oceanfront condo

We had an amazing stay at this oceanfront condo in Indian Shores! The unit was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a beach getaway including beach chairs, towels, tent, boogie boards, fishing poles and coolers. Communication with the owner was friendly, responsive and helpful through the process. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this unit to anyone staying in Indian Shores.

The place was very clean, beds were comfortable, loved the full size washer and dryer, there were plenty of dishes and utensils, and the pots / cookware was nice quality. Weber gas grills were so nice. Every so often the elevator would glitch but outside of that this place was so nice and we would definitely visit Indian Shores again! Thank you!
