The condo is severely run down. Lots was wrong with it, so much so that we had to be relocated to another property….not another unit another property in another town. This was a total inconvenience for my family and not at all what anyone should have to experience during a family vacation.

The condo was okay, wasn’t terrible but wasn’t the best either. When we arrived one of the elevators wasn’t working and it didn’t work the entire week we were there except for one day. The parking was terrible, you only get one parking spot and a guest parking pass but people who weren’t even staying at the condo and was parking just to use the pool or go to the beach were taking up the guest parking. The washer and dryer wasn’t the best either the dryer took forever to dry anything. Overall we had a good time but based on the whole parking situation I won’t be back here. The beach was beautiful though.

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

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.

Being on the beach was perfect but when we arrived the blinds on the sliding glass door to the balcony were broken and wouldn’t even open. One of the beds was so sunken in just from looking at it & laying on it was even worse & wasn’t even able to be slept in. Thankfully we were able to use another but had we needed that bed someone back would have been miserable sleeping. The fan in that room also didn’t work. The master tub/sink was not draining properly. The toilet paper holder was falling off of the wall in both bathrooms. The towel rack was also falling off. A lot of cosmetic things needed fixed in my opinion & would be easy to do to make a better impression and experience. We were not in there much because we are such beach people but there were a lot of things that should be fixed considering the amount of money you pay. However we absolutely loved the balcony, all of the beach chairs toys ect that were available for us to use. & we loved that the fridge had an ice/water dispenser. Washer and dryer was also a huge perk!

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 :))
