Perfect beach condo for beauty and relaxation!
Loved staying on Peach on the Beach condo! We came to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. We had a beautiful time. The condo is VERY clean and well maintained. Stocked with everything you need. Even has beach items stocked in garage! Watching sunrises and sunsets on the balcony was absolutely gorgeous! One morning we even saw dolphins playing in the ocean! Condo quiet. Master bed so comfortable. Wonderful area with great restaurants and fun shopping! Working with Susan (the owner) was easy and informative. No surprises of disappointment when we arrived. What she said is how it is! We can't wait to visit again!

You loved your stay at the PEACH on the BEACH --- and we loved having you. A win/win for all. What GREAT people and you are certainly welcome to come and stay AGAIN, with us any time you desire. Warm Regards, Vic & Susan
An Excellent & Beautiful Family Vacay
This "Peach" is top notch! We loved it here, everything you need in a beach condo! You don't even have to pack beach towels, loved that cause they take up a lot of space in a suitcase!!!! It really has all the essentials you need. The views of the balcony are gorgeous!!! The sunset exquisite!! This beach is so beautiful too, we had such clear blue turquoise water, was probably our clearest yet! I can't even say enough about the owners. Susan is a gem! She is simply the sweetest lady I've met. I absolutely love that she comes out there to meet you & walk through her beautiful condo. People just don't do that anymore, you don't get that personal experience anymore & it was a just awesome! We would definitely stay here again, it's also the cleanest condo we've ever stayed in & we go on vacation every year! This place is top notch & the owners are too! Susan even called to check in on us to see if we made it home safely! She even knew how to spelly daughters name correctly, it's a unique name that even her school has gotten wrong every year.... so even the little things make a difference with me! Thanks Susan for being the sweetest!!

WOW !!! This has to be the most thoughtful and genuine review we have ever received; therefore, it makes it one of the most appreciated. Thank you so very much. As you well know you and your family were just plain terrific with regard to your treatment and taking care of our PEACH on the BEACH. As you know PEACHES can 'bruise' quite easily but not this time because you folks were meticulous with your tender loving care. Thanks so much. We certainly hope to see you and yours again.
Family Vacation
Last year, friends rented the Peach at the Beach and we were so impressed by their pictures and experiences that we wanted to recreate it with our family vacation this year. We had a great time and enjoyed the wonderful Gulf views, the area in general, and the water - now that we've been to the Gulf, I don't think we'll ever go to the cold and grey Atlantic side ever again.We had 2 teen girls and they enjoyed the beach and rooms. The condo was so clean, we were afraid of getting it dirty!Susan was so sweet and accommodating and we were thankful for the personal touch. Hope to be back again soon!

What a wonderful family. We certainly do hope you will visit the PEACH ON THE BEACH again soon. In fact, the sooner the better. We to prefer the Gulf side of Florida, as compared to, as you put it, the grey and cold Atlantic side. We always really appreciate visitors' comments on how CLEAN the PEACH is kept. Susan works very hard to be sure that CLEAN means CLEAN and so we are so happy you agree. Have a GREAT year and God Bless. Susan and Vic --- PEACH on the BEACH
Excellent! VERY, VERY CLEAN!
We have rented vacation condos in that area for 26 years and this is the first time we have ever met the owner at the unit on day one upon arrival. Susan was super helpful and went over everything to make sure we would have an amazing stay! The unit was super clean and well stocked with anything you could possibly need. We had a great experience and we will definitely rent again if our travels take us to Indian Shores.

Thank you for your very kind words on the PEACH on the BEACH. We wish all of our visitors were as NICE and as CLEAN "acting" as your group was. You would most definitely be welcomed back no matter what time period you picked. Have a super GREAT year and a good family wedding.
Excellent view and stay
First stay in the Tampa Bay area. Owners greeted us and made us feel at home. It was nice having beach items in the garage to use while we were there and the garage was nice as it kept the salt water spray off our vehicle. We enjoyed our stay as it was quite and enjoyable with the sea bird sanctuary next door. Thank you and sorry I'm late getting this review out. The Boettles are very nice people to rent a vacation from.

A real peach!
Had a great stay at Peach on the Beach. The location is perfect for sunsets and close to restaurants and other activities. The condo is very clean, well-stocked, and quite comfortable as is the entire property.Host Susan was great and gave a thorough walk through on arrival. The provided beach chairs, umbrellas, reading material, and some basic personal supplies were icing on the cake. We would definitely come back!

Home in Paradise!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week visit to this beautiful condo for our 7th annual visit. The condo is very clean, has great WiFi reception, cable TV and good water pressure in the showers! It goes without saying that the sunset views from Susan is very helpful with tips about local restaurants - it was a pleasure working with her! It goes without saying that the sunset views from the outdoor porch are spectacular! We love this place!

Wonderful 3 Weeks
We rented the condo for 3 weeks in Jan. 2024. The condo was beautiful and fully equipped. We really appreciated all the amenities the owners provided that made our stay so much better. Susan is very personable and always available if you have any questions. Upon our arrival the condo was in pristine condition.The condo is located in a beautiful area and our view of the ocean and beach was breathtaking. The pool was great, and we used it almost every day.Susan met us upon our arrival, and it was very convenient to ask questions as we toured the condo. The basket of magazines, places to go, and any instructions that we needed were all in one place and extremely helpful. Susan provided many products and supplies to begin our stay.We highly recommend this condo and appreciated the extra services provided by the owners. If we are in the area again, we would definitely stay here.

“Peach on the Beach”
We enjoyed our Florida vacation again! We have stayed in this condo a number of times and it never disappoints! It has become our home away from home when visiting the gulf of Florida. Susan and Vic are wonderful hosts and have provided everything you need for your stay. Along with beautiful views and steps to the beach, it is located between Clearwater and St. Petersburg which offers many wonderful attractions and restaurants to discover. At Christmas time the Botanical Gardens is one of our first stops. One week is never long enough, so we now stay two!

True Peach
This condo unit "Peach on the Beach (#506) was a true gem! It was beautiful, comfortable and meticulously clean! Everything you could possibly need within the unit or on the beach was provided by the owners, Susan and Victor Boettle. Their pride in ownership and willingness to share their gem is clearly evident. It was the cleanest, most complete rental I have had the privilege to visit in over 20 years.

EXCELLENT CONDO ON A WONDERFUL BEACH WITH A PERFECT HOST
This condo is on a beautiful beach; Indian Shores and the views from the gulf front balcony are fabulous up and down the beach. The facility is immaculate and has everything you need for a perfect beach vacation. Its located close to a number of reasonable , recommended restaurants as well as super markets and shopping malls. However, what really adds a special touch to this great facility is the host. Susan was just so kind and helpful it added so much pleasure to our vacation. She was there to greet us and introduced us to their "Peach on the Beach" and made sure that we were familiar with what we needed to know for our stay. She was always readily available but never obtrusive. Would we go back? In a heart beat! Not in 2023 but hopefully in 2024.

You are so kind, as to take the time to do a review for us after just getting home from staying with us in the PEACH on the BEACH. You guys were GREAT to have and you are certainly welcome to return any time you desire. Frankly the sooner the better as you left the PEACH in such great condition, it was just about ready to go, hours later for the next folks. A BIG THANKS to you for that. It just proves what GREAT people there still is, in the good old USA.
Peach On The Beach
The name — Peach On The Beach — is a perfect description. If anything, the pictures do not do it justice. What a beautiful place to spend a relaxing week and deal with such lovely people. I loved the personal touch of talking with Susan on the phone and then being greeted on our arrival. A follow-up call on Sunday to see if we made it home safely was above and beyond … and meant so much. My friend and I rent a condo on the beach in Florida 2-3 times a year and this might be the first time we have ever had any direct contact with the owner!!! Thank you, Susan and Vic, for sharing your beautiful Peach!! We hope to return again in the future.

Spectacular 25th Wedding Anniversary Trip!!
My hubby and I just enjoyed a week’s stay to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, and our trip was just perfect in every way!! The only thing I’d change would be to add on another week to our trip!! We stayed in Susan and Vic’s condo just next to this property, and the entire process was such a great experience. It was so nice speaking with Susan directly to learn about the condo and many activities and great restaurants available close by. Susan was an absolute delight to work with, so friendly and knowledgeable, and you truly felt that she cared very much that you enjoyed your stay and wanted everything to go smoothly. The condo was by far the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed, and the attention to detail unmatched. This section of beach is absolutely ideal—white soft sand, family-oriented area, and beautiful clear blue ocean to enjoy. We even had a manatee swim by us our first night in the ocean—such an amazing experience that I’ll never forget!! The views and sunsets on the Gulf were amazing. It’s the most beautiful oceanfront location I’ve stayed in. The location is ideal as well, as it’s just a few minutes to Clearwater North and a few minutes to St.Pete’s to the South!! We enjoyed touring the bird sanctuary just half a block down from the condo, and a very short drive to John’s Pass where we took an amazing sunset cruise that was so much fun! The area offers so much to do—but we found ourselves enjoying the beach and comfy clean condo so much, we really didn’t feel the need to do much else than relax and enjoy the beach. I would most definitely recommend renting from Susan and Vic, the personal touch was so very nice. You really couldn’t find a better host. We very much hope to book our next vacation with them again soon!!

Impeccable Oceanfront Condo - Look no further
What an impressive experience we had at the Beach Palms #506. It began with our initial contact with Susan and Vic, they actually called and spoke with us! Phenomenal communication from the initial booking to the last day of our stay. From that first call we learned all about their Beach Palm condo and the surrounding area in extensive detail, all because Susan and Vic care about their condo and want their renters to obtain the ultimate experience.When was the last time you rented and someone met you and did an actual walkthrough with you? We saw so many people looking for their lockbox and trying to navigate the complex, for sure this was not our experience. Susan met us and gave us the tour of the condo complex as well as her/Vic’s condo. When Susan opened the door to Beach Palms #506, it was an incredible “WOW moment”, we entered paradise. The condo was absolutely immaculate, beautifully decorated and organized! Susan and Vic take pride in their condo and it shows. We had an incredible stay and look to staying at Beach Palms #506 again. Many thanks to Susan and Vic for making their condo feel like home.

Perfect vacation spot
We absolutely loved this condo! First, amazing location on the beautiful beach. Sunsets every night from the west-facing balcony. Second, this place is large, updated and clean. Big kitchen with everything you need, large dining room table, comfy furniture, king bed in master with walk-in closet and both a tub and a separate shower. Finally, the complex is quiet and secure and you have your own garage space. The condo complex is easy walk to several nice restaurants or take a quick drive to further dining places and beaches. Susan checks in to make sure there are no issues and that you are enjoying the condo. Rent this place, you won’t be disappointed!Thanks for our warm respite from our Illinois winter lol ️.

Thank you, Susan and Vic, for providing such a memorable vacation for our family of four.

Thank you for your kind remarks with regard to our PEACH on the BEACH. We do get quite a few GREAT reviews, but yours was SPECIAL because we think so much of you and your wonderful family. In fact, your family is one of the best and nicest we have EVER had visit us and we have been doing this for many many years now. We certainly hope to see you folks again in the future and we certainly look forward to your next visit. Warm Regards, Vic & Susan
BEST CONDO ON THE BEACH!!!
I had such a great time!! Susan was the sweetest host! She showed us all around the condo and was very helpful in letting us know about the area. She had all the beach stuff that you will ever need to use on the beach. For a fifteen year old, I had plenty of things to do and made many new friends. Peach on the Beach is an amazing place to stay and it has a private elevator for only those who are renting. The view from the Condo was out of this WORLD!! I hope we can return next year because of all the fun I had this year!!

Thanks, Leland, for the upscale review! It was nice to hear your comments and refreshing perspective from a young adult's viewpoint. Thanks, again! Vic & Susan
OH SO WONDERFUL!
Without a doubt, this "PEACH" on the BEACH, is exactly the right name for this condo!We have been celebrating our wedding anniversary on Florida's West coast for 15 years, Unit 506 at Beach Palms is the nicest place we have ever stayed. The cost for a week is very resonable, especially with other places raising their rates. The location is great too, not too busy at this part of the beach, more layed back, but still everything you need or want to go is close by. The pool area is very nice too with BBQ grills and a very nice restroom area with a shower.The owner Susan, is super friendly and sweet, no issues at all during our stay. The colors, the cleanliness, and organiation of the condo is superb! The view of the gulf on the top floor is beautiful, especially from the private balcony. Susan and Vic have thought of everything, just bring your clothes and your personal items, you'll need nothing else. The garage has everything for the beach as well.We can't say enough how enjoyable it was to stay here. Pictures are good, but when you walk in the front door, you'll be even more impressed how nice this unit really is.We can hardly wait until we can stay here again. And we will.Look no further, this is truly a great place to stay, you'll be glad you did! We Guarantee it!Darlene n David

Just Peachy
We had a wonderful time. Great place to stay. Just like being at home. Susan and Victor have it all in the condo. You just need your personal items and food, they have the rest. Very well stocked from kitchen to the beach. If they don't have it, you don't need it. Come see for yourself. You won't look anywhere else in the future. We loved it.

All the Comforts of Home!
Our second stay at Susan and Vic Boettle's Indian Shores condo was great. Susan and Vic do a great job at ensuring the unit is clean and has everything you need to jump start your vacation. The unit is conveniently located on a private beach, is close to fishing and top-notch restaurants and provides picturesque sunsets which you can enjoy on the outdoor patio or from the comfort of the living room sofa. If you are looking to avoid the hassle of the Clearwater Beach crowds, give Susan and Vic a call as they offer a lovely, less stressful alternative with a private parking spot.

Annual Visit to Paradise!
We so look forward to staying at this "Peach on the Beach" in Indian Shores! This is our fifth year to visit. It is situated right on the Gulf Coast beach and has spectacular sunset views. The owners take very good care of this condo and willingly share advice about the area's dining and entertainment options when asked for advice. The internet connection is excellent and cable TV works well. Water pressure in the showers is very good also. We enjoy walking to the Indian Shores coffee shop in the morning and enjoying our coffee and muffin on the porch with a spectacular view.

Look forward to your visit next year, if for no other reason, than to talk to you about some of the NEW restaurants that have opened or RE-opened. Have a GREAT YEAR and God Bless. Vic & Susan
Perfect location, spectacular views and easiest access to the beach.
You can’t beat this location, the amazing views and of course the terrific hosts. From the moment we arrived we knew this property was maintained to perfection. Sue and Vic have certainly taken pride in this property and we were honored they allowed us to share it for the week. We found the condo to be more than well equipped and everything in working order. The outside amenities including the pool and parking areas were clean and secure. We found the location not only wonderful from a beach prospective but also terrific for shopping, dining and entertainment. The pictures accurately depict the layout so there are no surprises when you arrive. Sue and Vic were also a pleasure to work with during our planning. We definitely intend to stay again and we’re already checking our calendars to book for later this year.

Some words/expressions are over used and in this case, I mean ---- location, location, location. However, you added PERFECT to location and we can certainly AGREE with you that the BEACH on the BEACH is in a PERFECT LOCATION on the top of a 5 story building and DIRECTLY on the Gulf of Mexico. Also, how about being only ten steps from one of the two glass elevators, with a call button inside the unit. YES, we do try hard to make your visit a real joy and promise to do it again next time
Wonderful, Wonderful Stay!
Everything promised, delivered. Susan was a pleasant and wonderful host and trustworthy, which is what you want when you're reserving a place you haven't been before. The condo was very clean and all the extra amenities added to our experience (any utensil or kitchen gadget, good working AC, some bath products if you forgot, everything for the beach you'd need). Susan's recommendations for eateries also resulted in us finding a more tucked away place we wouldn't have considered (Leverocks), and it was delicious! The views were spectacular as promised, and being on the top floor is all we hoped for quietness (no stomping or dragging of chairs of people above you). We couldn't get over the call button for the elevator inside the condo - just cool! (and convenient). The only negative is that you'll want to stay longer! Thanks so much Susan and Vic!

You were GREAT and we certainly look forward to your next visit which will be even better, if possible.
Winter Getaway
Coming down to Indian Shores Florida in March for the last seven years from cold Pennsylvania is something my wife and I look forward to every year. And staying at the "Peach on the Beach" makes it all worthwhile. Susan and Vic have this condo that is spectacular. It's super clean, well organized and well stocked with everything you will need. it's like home away from home. Sitting on the balcony watching the evening sunset's are breathtaking, The beach is just step's away and the gulf splashing upon the beach is so relaxing.

Wonderful place to stay -Indian Shores
This was our home away from home for three weeks in January. The unit was more than we could have asked for. It had everything that we needed for a three week stay and much more. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony everyday - the sunsets were breathtaking. Everyone we ran into while coming and going each day was so friendly. Susan was an exceptional hostess and even checked on us when some severe weather was in the area just to ensure we could reach her if needed. We recommended this unit to family who have already booked it for July of 2022. There is no other place we would think of staying when in this area. We are so excited we found this gem and are looking forward to returning in 2023.

Love Peach on the Beach
This is our 2nd stay in Susan and Vic's beautiful condo and we definintely hope we will be able to return. The location could not be better, close to the elevator, 5th floor overlooking the Gulf. We never tire of sitting on the balcony listening to the waves and watching pelicans and dolphins feeding. It is a quiet area with several restaurants close by and the beach is very wide with sugar sand. There is also a very nice pool area and an outdoor shower.The condo itself is lovely with spacious rooms and everything you will need including books, cable tv, a very well stocked kitchen with many small appliances as well as a washer and dryer. Just bring your clothes, food and drinks and prepare to enjoy a relaxing vacation!

We so enjoy having you two and NOW such such a GREAT review, as well. Thank you, so very much. You mentioned so many things that other reviewers had over looked. After your first visit you suggested that we need a bigger, better towel rack in the master bathroom. We added that, and even added a new glass shower door which even offers more towel storage area on the sliding door. We so appreciate it when folks like you point out how we can improve our PEACH on the BEACH.
GREAT PLACE WITH A PERFECT VIEW!
There could not possibly be a cleaner rental in Indian Shores as Peach on the Beach. Or one that is better equipped. Susan is not kidding when she says all you need to bring is a toothbrush; EVERYTHING is provided, in a spotless environment. The kitchen is well-stocked from pots, pans, dishes, utensils, pitchers, frying pan, etc, etc, etc! There are beach towels, loads of bath towels, literally everything one could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable and keeping the blinds drawn during the day kept the condo reasonably cool during the hot afternoon. We have been vacationing in FL since 1999 and this place is at the top for places to stay. Susan has provided books of things to do, places to go, sites to see. If you're looking for a great place with an awesome view (we saw manatees and dolphins from our balcony), this is the place! Highly recommended!

In this day and age of “click click click” and the transaction is complete, it is very refreshing and exceedingly wonderful to receive personal customer service from Susan and Vic (a couple who sincerely cares about the continued loveliness of their condo and the enjoyable experience and happiness of the guests who rent it for vacation!!!)This was my 3rd visit to Peach on the Beach and I will definitely return in the future. This condo is exceptionally comfortable and is beautifully decorated with great attention to every detail and amenity.Amazing beach views and gorgeous direct Gulf views morning noon and night from the balcony. Excellent location to restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, area attractions, etc. No parking concerns with your own garage.CLEAN is an understatement…Susan takes great pride in providing the best accommodations possible and personally addresses the condition of her fabulous property!Thanks again Susan and Vic for sharing your magnificent condo with us…it was a pleasure visiting with you again.If you want to enjoy THE BEST…this is it!!!

Beautiful Place
We stayed the week of Sept 11th - Sept 18. The condo was perfect when we got there and Susan met us and gave us the grand tour. Our pool was closed down for maintenance but they had made arrangements for us to use the pool next door which was very easy to get to and was also beautiful. This is a quieter part of the beach which was perfect for us, There was a wonderful book at the condo with menus from restaurants and we used it and found some great places to eat. It is always so nice when a owner thinks about the little things like that for their renters. Thanks again for a wonderful condo and making our "girls" week so enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Susan and Victor's Peach on the Beach condo in Indian Shores. The unit is located on a beautiful beach with easy access to the water. The view from the unit's balcony is also picture perfect. The unit is comfortable and welcoming and is sure to make your vacation get-a-way relaxing and carefree. My wife and I have stayed in Sand Key and Clearwater Beach numerous times over the past 30 plus years and we honestly think the beach at Indian Shores is much nicer, quieter and more family friendly.

2021 will be our 5th year with Susan & Vic, and we, like most people want new features in a vacation condo but .....YOU WILL NEVER REGRET STAYING HERE! Susan cleans a lot herself and checks on those who clean also....she's very, VERY adamant about her condo being just right for us.You can read review after review telling great things about them, the condo and reasons to stay; bottom line is still simply that you will not find a place any cleaner, well appointed and loved than this one. Yes, they use regular mail, telephone conversation and meet you upon arrival but years of this is why it's still a home we want to come back to!

What a wonderful week at “Peach on the Beach”
When previously made plans were uprooted due to Hurricane Sally, I found myself needing to find a great place in an area unknown to me in just one day. What luck that I happened across this place! Susan is the definition of hospitality and service - qualities that you just do not find booking with large companies. She was prompt in responding to the initial inquiry of the condo - with a phone call! She introduced herself and gave a quick rundown of the condo and the town and ensured us it was a good area and quite important during these times - a very clean place to visit. We made the arrangements and set out the next day. Susan called and checked on us on our way down and made alternate plans to get us into the condo. Normally she meets you at check in but due to an accident on our way down, we were late coming in. With her thorough instructions we got in with no issues and opened the door to a lovely, comfortable and clean condo. The pictures really don’t do it justice for how open and bright it really is. There are plenty of bath and beach towels, all the utensils you can need, bath items you may forget and plenty of beach amenities in your own personal garage! When Susan tells you that you can just pack your bathing suit and leave the rest behind, she means it! The bed is firm but comfy, you have 2 bathrooms and 3 showers and plenty of room to spread out. The view is amazing from the balcony and the beach is absolutely wonderful. It wasn’t crowded at all and there are plenty of things to do in the area. The building itself felt very safe and secure as well. All in all it was a wonderful trip and Susan was great. When we met you could see she was smiling, even behind her mask. And how many times has the condo owner ever called you after your trip, to make sure you made it home ok? Seriously, don’t miss out on this little gem in Indian Shores!

Hi Hali, What a GREAT REVIEW and we thank you so VERY much for it. We tell people so many times about our Peach on the Beach and we can even hear them" yawn" on the phone. Like they have heard this all before and everyone says nice things on the phone or on the net about their place. Thus, it is so refreshing to hear all those GREAT words and ideas from a super nice "gem" like you. So, you can tell that we just can't wait for your next visit to the PEACH ON THE BEACH. Soon, we HOPE.
Spectacular view
We had the most incredible week in Susan and Vic’s condo! The view from the balcony took our breath away! Very comfortable seating and you can even have your meals out on the balcony, our favorite hang out spot in this amazing condo! Everything was very clean and Susan definitely went the extra mile to make sure our stay was as comfortable as could be. Having interaction with the owners was another highlight, Susan was there to personally greet as on arrival and showed us everything we needed to know. No need to worry about beach chairs, umbrellas or anything else beachwise, it’s all there. This is really the ultimate beach condo for a vacation with the most charming hostess. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Outstanding
Wow! This condo truly is a peach and so is Susan. She is a delight. She was there to greet us and give us helpful hints for our week's stay. The decor is so pretty and every thing you could possibly need for a comfy stay is included, including a washer and dryer. The layout and spaciousness of the condo are excellent. It is a split bedroom plan, which is nice for privacy. It is sparkling clean.The view of the gulf in the morning, as well as at sunset, from the roomy balcony and from the master bedroom, is spectacular. Many varieties of birds are there in the morning, searching in the sand for breakfast or riding the waves and fishing.The garage and beach paraphernalia are definitely a plus. We also found it worthwhile to rent the cushioned, adjustable benches and umbrella for the entire week discount.You can't go wrong with this condo. The location is excellent and we asked where the locals eat. We had fabulous seafood at The Conch Republic and Salt Rock Grill.

Wonderful Experience at Indian Shores
Susan goes above and beyond to ensure the condo is clean and sanitized before your visit. They provide all essentials for your stay. (We didn't lack anything.) Each morning we enjoyed views of the ocean from our balcony. A few times during our visit we caught a glimpse of dolphins or manatees swimming by the condo. We also enjoyed seeing different bird species interacting on the shore or out in the ocean. During our stay the weather was perfect, so we were able to explore beach life everyday! We recommend dining at Sea Salt Grill or The Conch Republic Grill which are close by the condo. (There are several other great places to eat nearby.) Susan and Vic are quick to respond to any concerns/needs. Thanks Susan and Vic for providing everything and making our stay enjoyable! We hope to be back next year.

Vacation 2020
Stayed here last week for family vacation. The condo was comfortable and beautifully decorated and most importantly CLEAN ! probably the cleanest unit we’ve ever stayed in. It’s easy to tell the owner takes great pride in this unit. The garage full of toys and beach gear was a plus . So nice not to have to drag sandy toys and chairs up to the room after playing on the beach . The views are simply amazing and the condo has a great location. It’s close to everything. Susan was there to greet us upon check in and made sure we had everything we needed for a great vacation.

WE COULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN A BETTER REVIEW. Thank you so very much !!! We too enjoyed having you and yours. As you certainly know, you have a terrific family and were a joy to have. We certainly hope that you will chose to visit the PEACH ON THE BEACH again in the future.
Perfect home-away-from-home
Our family keeps coming back to this Beach Palms "topview" condo. The unit is immaculate, spacious, and fully stocked with everything a family would need. The property is safe and secure, and everything is clean and well-maintained. The beach is beautiful. The direct Gulf-front views from the balcony are amazing, especially the gorgeous sunsets! The location is walking-distance to several restaurants/ bars, an ice-cream/candy shop and the Seabird Sanctuary. Another delightful vacation in Indian Shores. Thank you Susan & Vic!

Here we are"AGAIN"at the "Peach on the Beach"
Coming from the winter of Penna to the sun and fun of the west coast of Florida. 85/87 degrees and sun the whole time we are here. The Peach on the beach is the best.The sunsets are to die for, viewing them from your own top floor balcony. The white sand and the waves touching the beach of the gulf is so relaxing. The condo itself is amazing Very clean and well organized... Everything you need for your vacation is there. You can travel light because the condo is completely stocked with everything for your stay. The private / personal garage is a plus. Inside you will find everything for the beach from floats to beach chairs.You never have to worry about forgetting anything because the condo has it all. If you are not a beach person and who isn't, there is a private pool with a outdoor grill. Susan met us upon our arrival and as always she makes you feel like family. From the looks of the condo inside its evident that Susan and Vic take pride in their property. 5 Star Rating... This is our 5th year staying at the."Peach" and we will be back for season #6 and beyond. Thanks again Susan and Vic

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !!!! Year after year we enjoy having you.
Everything was "Peachy"!
Wow! What a wonderful location and view of the beach! We enjoyed the cleanliness of Unit 506 and found it to be well stocked with necessary items - bath towels, wash rags, dishes, etc. You can tell that the owners take pride in maintaining this property. Susan went way out of her way to assist us with a trip complication that we created for ourselves. It is nice to have a pool on the premises that was very convenient. We hope to return soon to this "Peach on the Beach" for another relaxing getaway!

Beautiful well equiped condo very very clean.
We booked Beach Palms Penthouse condo on Indian Shores Beach FL for our Christmas vacation with family. The location of this condo was easy to find very clean and well equipped. Susan and Victor keep this condo in the best of shape. Very comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed walking on the Beach and visited Johns Pass Village, Seabird Sanctuary, and numerous restaurants in the area. This condo is quiet, appliances include a washer and dryer and every small appliance you would ever need for the days you want to stay in and cook a meal. We would definitely recommend renting this condo. Thank you Susan and Vuictor for a memorable vacation condo.

Dear Friend, Fran, Thank you for your kind review. So glad that you enjoyed the condo and all the great activities in the area. See you soon!!!! Susan
Absolutely WONDERFUL
Peach of the beach condo rental was above and beyond all you will need in a comfortable stay at the beach. Owners Susan & Vic do a fantastic job at providing all your needs in this immaculate and fully equipped condo. Indian Shores is located in an uncommercialized perfect area of the Gulf coast just below Clearwater, FL.......If you want a lovely atmosphere, relaxation and peace and quiet, then this is the lace and the condo!!! Also the area is so quiet and the building is totally safe. Locked entrances down to the restrooms, beach and pool area make one feel very safe. I highly recommend this condo and hope to visit again next winter

Truly a "peach on the beach".
This was the second time we've stayed at this unit and a peach it is. Let's start with Susan following up so there is no miscommunication. Meeting us out front and showing us the various amenities and walking through the unit showing us where everything is located. Some people may find this annoying but my wife and I sometimes spend a frustrating amount of time looking for something because we were never told where anything is kept. We find this courtesy to be helpful and welcome. The unit is very clean and homey. It is furnished down to the details of anything you would normally find in your own home plus the extra things generally found in a beach house. Towels, toys, even sunscreen was available. We even had an elevator call button near the front door to pre-call the elevator to the 5th floor. We generally take the stairway when heading down. The stairwell exits to the pool area which is well maintained and very clean. There is a pool house as well as gas grills available for outdoor cooking. The rear exit from the pool area steps right on to the beach. Each evening we enjoyed cocktails on the balcony while various seabirds came back to roost at the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary located a short distance away. We spotted dolphins daily swimming close to shore. We traveled to St. Pete, Tarpon Springs, and Clearwater and ate many times at Crabby Bill's down in St. Pete. Mostly, we enjoyed the gorgeous views from the balcony, the sound of lightly crashing waves and life passing by on the beach. We will definitely be back in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Peach on the Beach for a relaxing time and a great location.

Susan and I wish to thank you guys, very much. What a kind review and we enjoyed your leading off with the PEACH "thing" We think it is a true PEACH of a beachfront condo and just what many folks are looking for on their Florida visit. We certainly do look forward to your next visit and remember, many people say 3 (visits) times is a Charm. Warm regards, from Vic and Susan and the PEACH ON THE BEACH. Have a GREAT year.
Best Vacation Ever!
This was our second year staying in one of the "Vic and Susan" condos and I must say once again it was a perfect choice! The condo is immaculate, beds are so comfortable, and everything is perfect, Best nights sleep since our visit in 2018 :)The views of the gulf are ever changing and just amazing, Nothing can beat the sunset over the gulf. The breeze coming in from the gulf is perfect as you sit out on he balcony watching the sky.The location is perfect for shopping, site seeing and just relaxing. Best vacation ever and we will be back. Thank you Susan and Vic for welcoming us to you homesLinda 2019

Thanks for choosing to stay with us, once again. Looking forward to your next visit. Your family is delightful and so respectful of our condo. So glad that you were able to enjoy the beach and the scenic views from the balcony. See you soon!!! Susan & Vic
Specious condo with a breathtaking view!
The condo far exceeded our expectations! The pictures don't do justice for the amount of space and comfortable living within. With 2 teenage boys in tow, having a second full bathroom was a must and this condo didn't disappoint.The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, serving and cookware you could need for your stay.The view from the balcony was breathtaking! Getting to watch the sun rise and set over the beach everyday was amazing! We could also see the pool area, which was nice for keeping an eye on our kids.Susan was a delight to work with: very thorough in her accommodations and patiently explained all the expectations for taking care of the property. But our enjoyment of their property and our vacation was her number-one priority.We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone. We'll be back!

WOW !!! Thanks for the really GREAT REVIEW. You and yours were GREAT to have and we sure hope you mean it when you wrote " We'll be back" because we really love to have folks like you back. Those are the MAGIC words for Susan who really enjoyed working with wonderful people like you guys. We knew from the start that you folks were going to be GREAT, and you were even with 2 teenage boys in tow (they were great too). Warm Regards, Vic & Susan
Another Wonderful Home
We decided on getting away from the rental companies and trying directly renting from actual owners this year, and what a great place to start. "Peach On The Beach" is absolutely a great place to stay with the family. We have one on one contact with Sue, and we felt extremely comfortable staying here, even before we arrived. Sue stressed the fact that we should not over pack, because everything we needed is right here. And it is. Beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, beach towels, beach pails & shovels, etc...... That was just in the garage, yes, a garage with a garage door, not just a covered parking spot. Inside was immaculate, very clean and homey. You have a full kitchen with any cooking utensils, pot, pans, you name it. A blender for adult beverages, griddle, crock pot, roaster pans. Seems like you have over 50 towels to use also. Really, do not over pack, you have EVERYTHING.You can feel comfortable knowing that you have made the right choice when you book with Sue. The only negative is that I have to go back to work, sigh...Thank You,Bob Maday

Yes, working directly with an owner, instead of a "book it" rental operation like PEACH ON THE BEACH, not only saves you money but results in A SUPER VACATION. It is just GREAT to hear a visitor like you say it. We really wish more folks would understand that service fees go to a middleman and not to the owner who must maintain the UPSCALE unit that you seek. We also, knew from the start that your rental was going to be a "win win" for both of us. Please bring that GREAT FAMILY back again.
Family-friendly condo - right at the beach
It is wonderful and VERY clean condo with a great view over the Gulf and the sunset. The whole property was very clean and organized. We had a great stay with our two kids enjoying the beach and the pool. We definitely recommend it! Thanks to Susan and Victor

Oasis of Calm
The Rental property was spotless and had everything you would need for a spectacular vacation. Relaxing and clean beach. Renting this property from Susan and Vic was an amazing time. There is also a pool and 2 grills. The view from the beach and sunset were so nice.
