Owner Info
Tina austin
Year Purchased: 1978
About the owner: My husband & I were from Philly suburbs......bought Chateaux when it was brand new in 1978. Kept it rented out ........and then in 1998 we moved down here & he became the President (smart Union man who knew his construction)....He redid the entire bldg and made Chateaux 'the' most popular place to rent in Indian Shores...........Unfortunely, I lost him three years ago and now I keep Chateaux rented myself ......with so many of my rentals who come back forever!!!! I live close by so I can always keep an eye on everything...........
Why this property? Probably 'the' best rental in Indian Shores.........I am almost never empty and actually had two couple with me, one in June and one in Oct who never ever missed their months in all of 38 yrs!!! Most of my rentals return for many years......Indian Shores becomes the very favorite quiet little town for people who come here........

Tina----it's a sad day
Tina---I'm guessing tomorrow, Friday, 9/10/21, you will be turning over #209, after over 40 years of ownership. Hundreds have stayed at #209 and not only love the Condo, but the way you treat those that have stayed----that's why they keep coming back every year--like us that 1st stayed since 2005. We will keep in touch with you and wish the best

Dolphins and Sunsets
This lovely end oceanfront unit, provides two of my favorites. Gazing at the beautiful ocean waters to check the dolphins heading North in the morning and then to return later in the day. In the evening, watching the beautiful sundsets over the sparkling ocean waters. Coffee in the morning, glass of wine in the evening. The unit is spotless and well outfitted for leisure, cooking and dining. The owner is a joy to work with and readily available to make your stay enjoyable. Simple booking process, just relax and enjoy.

Extremely pleasant dealings
Unfortunately we were not able to keep our reservation due to unforseen circumstances, however, I will say this; in our conversations with the owner,we were more than pleased with our interactions. She was a pleasant, and obliging lady, and we will not hesitate to rebook in future.

So sorry but hopefully one of these days ......and who knows when, but I do hope you can rebook and have a great stay in my unit 209.......!! Thanks much for your nice words!
Beach Girl
We love this condo. We have stayed in many at the Chateaux and this one is without a doubt the best. Tina is great to work with and she has so much more stocked in this condo than most rentals. Many extras in the kitchen and lots of things for beach goers including beach towels. Great view, great pool that gets sun all day, great beach. Tina has all the local info as she has been around a while and is so helpful with any questions. If you want a great condo for a beach vacation, just say yes to Tina in 209!

oh Lisa...........thanks so much.........Hope this virus ends soon and you come back soon.........appreciate your kind glad you love Chateaux.......most do and most do come back........Hope to see you soon.............. Tina
Super clean condo!
When we entered the condo, it was pristine. The view from the kitchen/living room was stunning! It is truly gulf front. King bed in master is so comfortable...I slept like a baby every night. Tina keeps the place well stocked (with things not provided in other condos we've stayed in). The gulf was lovely and we even saw dolphins, nearby, one day. It was nice to have a pool on site as a couple of days the gulf had rip currants. Unusual, but a storm was brewing in the gulf. Can't wait to visit again and hopefully stay in "209".

The condo was beautifully decorated, very clean and well stocked. Loved that we were directly on the beach. We really enjoyed watching great sunsets from the balcony!!

BEAUTIFUL VACATION
It is difficult to describe how wonderful Tina's condo is....she thinks of everything to make your leisure days perfect. One doesn't have to worry about a thing. The condo is steps from the beach and the view of the Gulf and the sunsets are stunning. The location is in the center of Indian Shores with restaurants and grocery stores in short distance. A quiet and relaxing place for beaching or just setting at the pool...I would recommend this condo for a very pleasant vacation.Thanks Tina for allowing my daughter and I to visit.Bettye

Our Home away from Home
My husband and I have been renting Tina’s amazing condo for 20 yrs. now, the view is amazing, right on the beach and the area is wonderful, beach is never crowded, lots to do in the area, and the condo itself is always well stocked, and if you ever need anything Tina is always so accommodating, we would never stay anywhere else! We look so forward to being back next May!If you are looking for a little piece of heaven, this is it!!
