This condo was a gem, it is in a smaller condo complex on the intercoastal waterway with access to the gulfside beach across the street. This unit faces the intercoastal, so each day we enjoyed the views of dolphins, manatees, flamingos, boats and other wildlife. Unit has been updated fairly recently, was very clean and everything fully functioning (heard from other visitors that was not the same in some of the other units). Booking and checkin were very easy - host was very responsive. Overall, a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!
I vacationed with my sister. We made it to the Phillies game on Friday and enjoyed the hot tub, pool and beach the rest of the week. Our place was clean and comfortable and we had great weather. I recommend it.
We had an excellent stay. Patti was really helpful throughout and especially when an unfortunate incident left us needing to delay our check out a couple of hours.View over the Intra Coastal is perfect, the dock was lovely to sit on and the pool was like a bath temperature wise. Faultless
My home was flooded during Hurricane Helene so rented condo for 2 weeks while renovations were being done. Unfortunately, after only 2 days stay it was necessary to evacuate once again.
I am happy the owners understood and refunded my original rental fee which was for 2 weeks.
Highly recommend this lovely place on the beach and close to everything.
The condo was cosy , well stocked , clean , and very relaxing and the hosts very accommodating. The intercoastal view from the lounge and main bedroom was amazing !!!
The whole experience there was excellent , the beach across the road access through little walk was something we looked forward to everyday for a swim in the perfect beach and again in the evening for beautiful sunsets
We will definitely return to this Indian Shores gem , thank you Sandra Masih
We were pleasantly surprised with this condo. Our usual condo had already been rented so we had to find an alternative and we decide weâd rather stay here from now on. The pictures donât do it justice. Itâs clean and well decorated with a nice vacation vibe. Lots of supplies provided too. The view at the back of the condo is lovely where you can watch boats go by all day. The location is perfect with just a short walk across the street to the beach. The pool was never too full and itâs a good size. Highly recommend!
We are always impressed with views out the windows of the Intercoastal waterway. Saw dolphins jumping out of the water and lots of sea life. Just a short walk to the beach and all day enjoyment. Grilled out on the gas grill to feed the family, and enjoyed the hot tub and pool, which are always well maintained. Already looking forward to next year!
We loved this property! We saw dolphins and manatees in the canal. The beach was right across the street. Close walk to a food mart and a few restaurants. We used the trolley system and that was nice and easy.
Perfect location on the Inter-coastal with a balcony for dolphin watching. Condo was very clean and well equipped. The pool and hot tub were perfect for those sunny days. Beach access right across the road and restaurants and stores were walkable. Loved it!
Property came exactly as advertised. Very clean and outfitted well. Used the common bbq a couple of times and it was in great condition and very clean. The balcony was an excellent spot for our morning coffee and a drink after dinner.
Great place to stay. Condo was clean and well stocked. Balcony overlooking the intercoastal was nice. Just a short drive to many restaurants or grocery store. Beach is a short walk across the street. Would definitely stay here again.
This was the first time I have chosen to stay on the inlet side vs. the beach side... I have been coming to the area for 20+ years and absolutely loved the location and the property. Everything you need is at the condo - chairs, towels, cooler, etc. My only complaint is that it has taken way too long to receive the deposit back - 2 weeks and still no communication (not the fault of the owners). HIGHLY recommend this property to others.
Unit has everything you need for a relaxing vacation including beach chairs and toys. The furniture including the beds were comfortable and up to date. The kitchen had all necessary features to cook at home, or you could easily drive to several restaurants. Mornings along the intercostal were relaxing and the walk to the beach across the street was easy. Owners were great to work with, we will definately stay again.
This condo was better than expected. The location could not be beat in relation to the other beaches and also in relation to the different types of water life. The intercoastal was magical and filled with beautiful manatees dolphins fish and birds. The fishing pier and our access and view of it was a huge bonus as fishing attracted the dolphins and birds and we had so much more to see. We spent hours of fun and relaxation. And the laundry in the kitchen was amazing! It was so efficient and cozy to do your laundry while cooking dinner and looking out over the Beautiful view. The condo was fully stocked with more than we needed and everything was clean and comfortable. We would absolutely love to stay in this unit again which is saying a lot because we are not normally people that repeat patterns when it comes to travel. This was worth doing over again and again!
This is our 5th time staying at the waterview apartments, we love it there. The pool and hot tub are fantastic, you are minutes away from one of the most amazing beaches in the world and the whole vibe of this part of the gulf coast is just wonderful.
The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed. The beds were comfortable.
The highlight was eating breakfast on the balcony and watching dolphins (daily) and manatees swimming in the inland waterway.
overall an amazing stray, we did not want to leave
This condo was really well done. Weâve stayed up and down the Indian Shores coastline and this was a great spot. It was our first time staying on the inter coastal and we really enjoyed watching dolphins really early, then loved seeing all the boats go up and down the waterway. Great spot, and weâll be back!
Great unit with bay views seeing occasional dolphins swim through in mornings and evenings! Easy to access the beach just across the street! Nice unit- the king bed is not as comfortable as the 2nd bedroom bed and everything you might need is there. Enjoyed my stay!
This is our second year staying at water view. Loved this unit with the bay view. Condo included everything we could possibly need and more. Planning on booking 2 weeks next year.
Great place to stay! Has everything you need for a day at the beach. The beach cart is a nice bonus! Well supplied with linens, towels, and basic kitchen needs. The view from the deck is awesome!!! Dolphins swim by several times everyday! The condominiumâs common areas are well kept and clean. The pool and hot tub are maintained daily and are clean and refreshing! There are multiple hoses around for washing off beach sand and car washing! The short walk to the beach access (directly across the street from the condo) is so convenient. Patti is a great host! She is quick to respond to questions.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider staying at this place again in the future.
Bob and Patti have been married for 42 years and live in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada. We have traveled and lived in many beautiful places including St Croix in the USVI. We are thrilled to have settled into Indian Shores Florida and the Water view condominiums offering the best of both warm weather, shopping and attractions. We have opened up our home to selective guests and hope that you will enjoy this space as much as we do. Many guests within the complex have been coming back for years and feels like homecoming with long time friends returning to enjoy what this location has to offer.
The gulf of Mexico and particularly Gulf boulevard is a popular tourist attraction as well as a get away for Floridians. Indian shores community is unique along the blvd with the narrowed road, community is beautification investment, with bike lanes, underground power line so the sight-lines are unobstructed from power lines. The water view condos only house 35 units so it is a quaint spot with its own private beach access. We love the ability to sit on our patio relaxing over the inter-coastal waterway.
Private dock for fishing or relaxing . Private pool and hot tub away from the road. Less than 100 yard to the Gulf of Mexico. Public transport along the gulf blvd to be able to leave the car at home. Fun local spots to enjoy with your friends or meet new ones.
