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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Look no further than this place if your looking for the absolute perfect place to stay.
We rented this for our 20th anniversary and were pleasantly surprise at how perfect it was. From the comfy bed, supply of extra towels to everything you need in kitchen. Beach is a short walk away and the pool is great. We spent everynight sitting on thr back porch. Darryl was very easy to get in touch. We give this a very strong A+ 5 star rating. We are already talking about when we can come again

Wonderful gem in the heart of Indian Shores
We spent a week in the Indian Shores. We love the area, it is so nice and quiet. No traffic, no rush, the community is very laid back. The beach is beautiful, not too crowded, with white sand and shallow waters. Our condo was as described, spacious, clean, with a lot of extra perks for a wonderful stay. There was a gift basket when we arrived with few food staples, which was a nice touch as well. Overall I can give it a 5 stars rating.

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.

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!

Great Condo
The condo is in a great location for a relaxing vacation with lovely views of the intercoastal waterway. There is a nice pool area which was never busy with plenty of loungers and chairs. The owners also provide some beach items and a cart. The provision of the welcome basket and personalised greeting card was a nice touch. If you're looking for nightlife this may not be the place for you, however if you want a well presented, well provisioned condo in a location where you can chill this is ideal. This was our first time in Indian Shores, and we would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful property in a great quiet location, yet close to Clearwater and St Pete. We really enjoyed the balcony and the views of the water... amazing. Love seeing the wildlife very peaceful. The condo was emaculate. We had an issue while staying, however communication with the host was prompt and pleasant. Our family also enjoyed the beach toys, umbrella, wagon and grill.
