Sisters Trip
This condo at Sandcastle 1 was perfect for our group of four. Beautiful view. The unit was equipped with everything you would need to prepare and serve meals. Also it was well supplied with beach amenities. Plenty of chairs available on the balcony to enjoy the sight and sounds of the ocean. The recreation room, library and restrooms were very nice next to the beautiful pool and hot tub. The grounds were beautiful and we loved the toy box of beach items for sharing. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful view of the sunset
The location was great and the view was outstanding. The condo was decorated very nicely, the building was very clean inside and out. The pool and hot tub were always clean and the grill area was very nice also

Thanks for the review James. We are glad that the condo and the complex met your needs.
Everything you need
Very nice and very accommodating. The condo is located directly on the beach and is displayed accurately through the posted pictures. From previous reviews, I expected parking and elevator woes however, we did not experience any troubles or difficulty. The condo was very clean and met our needs. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cooking items and utensils. There is nothing flashy or overly modern with this condo, if that is your desire, you'll be disappointed. If you want clean and comfortable, you'll want this unit - and you wont be disappointed.The Indian Shores area is absolutely fantastic. Quiet and calm, not overly crowded - the perfect relaxation destination. The condo is located within a very short drive (or even walk) to several restaurants and shops.We flew into Tampa and expected that we may have to purchase beach chairs, an umbrella and a cooler for beach enjoyment. Nope. The condo had plenty of nice beach chairs, chairs, and coolers. The unit literally had everything we needed.We have found our new favorite beach community and we plan to visit the area many times in the years to come. We would not hesitate to stay again in this unit and plan to recommend it to our friends and family.

Indian Shores Vacation
I enjoyed staying here overall. Parking continues to evidently be an issue which we discovered on our first day. Despite having an assigned space I came back from the grocery to find someone else in my spot which prompted me to park in someone else's spot since I had groceries to unload. This prompted a cascade of wrongful parking. The only things that the condo lacked in my opinion was beach chairs (I left the 2 chairs that I purchased) and a beach umbrella. One of the elevators was broken which prompted some lines to use the remaining one. I love the area and hope to return.

Hi Kathy,Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at the Sandcastle. Our apologies for the inconsiderate people that parked in your designated spot. I'll send a note to our condo association to better monitor the allocated spots. In regards to the elevator, they are scheduled to be replaced in the fall/winter of 2019. We normally have 3-4 beach chairs in the balcony closet, hopefully they didn't go missing. Thank you for leaving your chairs and umbrella behind.Thank you
Parking Woes
We had a very easy check in, condo was a nice unit. Frig was very noisy like it was going to take off when it kicked in and the beds were very hard. Main complaint is the parking, vehicles parked in the guest spots and never moved them the whole time we stayed making it hard for us to find an extra spot. If we don't rent at this building again, it will be because of the parking. Even the handicap and Office spots always were full. We witnessed people from the next building parking at Sand Castle 1, people parking across street and guest parking to use the the pool and/or head to the beach. People on bikes coming in to use the facilities also. We like the building and the area very much, great pool and hot tub.

Hi Kari, thanks for the review. The fridge has been replaced. In regards to parking, there is a dedicated spot for tenants and approximately 20 visitors spots that are on a first come first serve basis. The management team at the condo does its best to ensure that only guests park at the condo or they are subject to being towed. Thanks again for your review.
Week long stay with 2 young kids
We went for a week of relaxation and fun. The beach was beautiful and the views incredible. The condo itself worked well, we used all 3 bedrooms and were very comfortable. Great location, easy to grab a quick lunch from The Pub across and easy access to Tampa. Only item that could have been an issue is that the listing says it has beach towels and it does but there were only 2 when we stayed so not enough for the 4 of us in the party. Luckily I'd packed ones for the kids. Everything else was just as it was listed.If you're looking for a peaceful place with great beaches, nice pool (and hot tub which was quite hot) then you'll be happy with this place. Kitchen was well stocked and we had a great time playing ping pong in the common area with a nice "library" there too. We're already talking about going back next year. We've stayed a few other places in the area and this was the nicest unit and views for the price.
