Once you are booked, you can look forward to enjoying the large heated pool and hot tub and the soft white, sandy beach by day and then you can experience the spectacular sunsets every evening from our ninth floor balcony with a completely unobstructed view looking West over the beautiful beach and the Gulf of Mexico.

Our condo is equipped with dedicated and secure Free Wireless Internet, Free Unlimited Long Distance calling anywhere within the United States and Canada, and an extended High Definition cable television package including ESPN, SHOWTIME, and ON DEMAND programming. The condo has three televisions; the main Sony Bravia flat screen television in the Living Room, a second Sony flat screen television in the Master Bedroom, and a third Sharp flat screen television with built-in DVD player and easy-access gaming hookups in the second bedroom. The condo also has a cordless telephone, and a Sony CD/AM/FM/IPOD player and charger.

Our condo comfortably sleeps up to five people, with a huge King bed in the Master suite. The Master Bedroom also has a fully-renovated four piece ensuite bathroom, and a beautiful unobstructed direct beachfront view through the large sliding doors leading to the balcony.

The other two bedrooms overlook the Inter-coastal waterway through large picture windows, with a great view of the sunrise in the East. The second bedroom is equipped with two double beds, with a single bed available in the third bedroom. These two bedrooms are located close to the second four-piece bathroom.

We are located in the popular and family-friendly Sandcastle 1 Condominium Building, which is halfway between Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and approximately 25 minutes to the Tampa International Airport. The Clearwater-St. Petersburg Airport is a few miles closer.

Our condo is freshly painted in cool and inviting Florida-tone colors, was recently updated, and is tastefully decorated. The condo comes fully-furnished, with a brand new dedicated air conditioning system, plus an in-suite washer, dryer, fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, coffeemaker, blender, toaster, kettle, kitchenware, a vacuum cleaner, and an ironing board and iron for your convenience.

The condo also has a "Baby Trend' crib and highchair for your little ones.

The condo comes equipped with beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and a variety of sand toys, along with a selection of paperback and hard cover novels for your enjoyment. We also have a beach cooler and travel mugs for you to enjoy your coffee or a cool drink by the pool or on the beach.

Our unit is also equipped with a Schlage-brand keyless/keypad entry system for your convenience and security, allowing you to head to the beach without worrying about who brought the keys. There is also no risk of being accidentally locked out in your haste to hit the beach!

The Sandcastle I complex has a large beachside pool and hot tub, together with a full washroom, a games room to play ping pong, a book lending library, and free Wireless Internet service in the games room as well.

The beachfront area has a lush tropical garden and barbeque area with picnic tables overlooking the ocean, and a beach volleyball court. Our condo has one designated reserved parking spot.

The area has beautiful wide white sand beaches, and is close to dozens of restaurants, ice cream stores, coffee shops, and pizza places, appealing to all tastes and price-points. There are also several malls, mini-putts, and championship caliber golf courses in the immediate area, along with power boat, kayak, beach bicycle, and scooter rentals.

Our condo is also a short drive to the sports facilities which host the NFL Buccaneers, the NHL Lightning, and the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team of the American League.

In addition, several Major League baseball teams base their Spring Training in this area, including the New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Toronto Blue Jays, among others.

Disney World, located in Orlando, is approximately ninety miles away and Busch Gardens, located in Tampa, is approximately thirty five miles away.

But it is the unforgettable sunsets from the balcony that keep most Guests coming back, as the sun continues to amaze and delight every day and every night! Don't miss the chance to enjoy our spectacular 'second home' in Florida!

Mediocre stay
My family booked our annual trip to the beach and tried this property, which was new to us. I don’t normally leave reviews but there were 2 elements that I felt impacted my family. There were some pros, so I’ll include those as well. Pros: location. The property is right on the beach and the elevator is right by the condo, which helps with small kids needing to go up and down. Another pro is the noise level—very quiet. The communication with the owners was quick. Cons: the unit is needing a deep cleaning. If you have asthma or are allergic to dust this is not the unit for you. Dust was covering all the baseboards, was caked in the vents, covering the wall hanging, etc. The master bed needs replacing. The mattress was terribly uncomfortable and it affected our sleep, which is not what you want on vacation. If these were fixed, this would have earned 4 stars.

Sun and beach
We had the best week! The condo was perfect for what we needed. Owners responded quickly to questions we had. It was nice to have beach chairs and a cooler to use from the condo since we flew. Great view from the 9th floor balcony.

Fun and Relaxing Stay
We had a great trip to Indian Shores. The condo was just what we needed. The view from the balcony is just incomparable. The area was great for families, not as busy as some other areas, but everything we needed was close by. The condo owners gave us a lot of great info and were so easy to work with. Thanks for a great vacation!
