Wonderful

3 couples stayed for a week. The small bedroom is very small. No closet, just enough room to get in and out of bed. The condo was clean and as expected. Everyone we encountered were friendly. A lot of rentals in this building I think. Perfect for a beach vacation.

Fall break

Nice to have a condo on an upper floor, right on the beach, with heated pool and hot tub. Indian Shores has everything we needed. The condo was pretty sparsely equipped in terms of amenities, but everything worked and it was clean when we showed up. Guest shower is pretty antiquated. We had a wonderful time in Indian Shores.

Needs a sweeper for the sand - whether it be a dorm sweeper/better. Broom sweeping went everywhere

Needs some updating couch/love seat are a mess. I did request some items and did receive - minus the sweeper. The view is spectacular.

Judkins' Summer Vacation 2013

We had a wonderful time at your condo. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed themselves and watching them run thru the sand into the ocean will be the memory I will most cherish. Apparently, the family has already decided that I look into renting your condo again in 2014... You have a beautiful condo and we did all possible to leave it in better shape than what we found it... Looking forward to June of 2014....

Great location - needs updates

Overall great location! Unit definitely needs some updating and a good deep clean. Overall decent stay. No cutting board, sponges, cleaning supplies or Tupperware so BYO! Vacuum cleaner and broom need replacing. Bring your own TP and paper towels if you don’t like single ply. Issues were resolved with a phone call.

Great condo, crowded, noisy complex

The condo has a wonderful view of the ocean, and great amenities like a pool and spa. Very well equipped unit, excellent beach toys, nice kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, unit has everything you need! Our only issue was the complex itself. It was very crowded with lots of kids and tons of noise, often till 11PM at night (or later). People in the pool, in the halls, in the common areas being loud (and lots of them). If you have a lot of kids, this place is probably perfect, if you're looking for peace and quite, look elsewhere!

Good enough

As one of my daughters said, it wasn't bad enough to ruin our trip. But there was a 5-item list of things we found that needed fixing, including broken shower door and chair; both were potentially dangerous. We first reported the chair on Monday. There was more correspondence during the week but no maintenance. That said, it was generally clean, the price was right, and, the location was great I happened to have a multi tool and made the shower door usable, barely, so, overall it was OK.

A few bumps in the road

The condo location was beautiful. The condo itself could have used a few personal beach touches. Our check in email gave us erroneous information. The parking space is NOT under the building and is not marked 1804 it is simply 804. We were given codes to enter the pool and beach yet no codes were needed anywhere on the property. Our kitchen sink completely stopped working as well as the dishwasher. Service was extremely delayed in getting us running water and was never completely fixed. We had to place a bag over the sprayer so we would not accidentally use it. The lighting in the dining was so harsh that we changed lightbulbs from lamps in other rooms. The remote controls to the tvs need new batteries. We had to juggle batteries to use them.

Would have given 5 stars

But the room was not cleaned well when we arrived, clearly they don't verify that beds haven't been slept in since we found gummy bears on the one bed under the sheets. The floors were filthy, clearly a mop was not used prior to us getting there as our feet were black from walking around the unit. The air conditioner went out and I called and they told me to open the patio door to the ac unit and that would fix it. I told them we had been dealing with it since we checked in on Saturday and it was now Monday afternoon, but they still wanted to me to open the door. I gave it a couple of hours and it was even hotter in the condo. I called back and they had the nerve to tell me I needed to meet the guy who was coming to fix it. I'm on vacation and this isn't my house. The owners pay a management company for this reason. I told them I was out to dinner and not going to spoil my plans to meet someone. They finally worked it out and met the guy at the unit while we were out and it couldn't be fixed that night. They offered us to stay at another unit for the night which wasn't on the beach and was more of a hassle to pack up everyone for the night but the gesture was nice. They told us it would be fixed first thing in the morning and it was by noon. Just not an all around relaxing beach vacation as I had hoped since I ended up cleaning when we go there and then dealing with the management company for two days trying to get air conditioning.

Nice Condo/Minor Issues

We enjoyed our stay here for the week. Didn’t have any issues. The property looks very maintained in pictures but they are kind of misleading. Condo could use a deep clean. If you need to wash clothes don’t plan on drying them. Dryer took at least 2 hours to dry a load of clothes with maybe 7-8 items. We had 7 people with 9 towels/washcloths, so we were constantly washing rags and reusing towels since the dryer took forever and then when the clothes came out they would stink from being in the dryer so long. There are no rugs in condo, so unless you are sweeping behind where you walk, you are constantly stepping in sand/dirt with nothing to catch it and the sand is sticking to your feet until it’s washed. The condo is nice don’t get me wrong, it just needs a good, DEEP clean. There were no potholders to use while cooking. However, the view of the beach from the condo was great. The pool area is nice and clean. The area it is in is very good and clean as well. I felt very safe and comfortable here. Lots of stuff around to do and lots of great restaurants :))
