We went to Indian Shores and stayed in unit 406 at Sand Castle I during Easter week. The condo was beautiful - we have stayed at Indian Rocks before in the nearby Sea Gate which is also nice, but the grounds and pool at the Sand Castle were much nicer. This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath with an office, but you could use the office as another bedroom for a couple of children. There was a small sofa bed there and it had doors to close it off. The beach was really beautiful, the grounds were very well kept. The pool was cleaned daily. One cool thing about Sand Castle is the really nice beach chairs with little awnings over them - the best on the beach. Plenty of space in the nicely decorated condo, everything worked, full kitchen and all the extras. The balcony was a very good size and the view could not be better. See my pictures of us and our 17 year old son. The area is great - we really enjoy Tampa - we went to the Dali Museum, the Pier, the Big Cat Rescue, ate tons of great seafood - try Crabby Bills - we ate dine in and used their take-out for steamed shrimp brought home one night. We ate at the Columbia on the Pier which was really good and authentic Cuban food - did not see the flamenco dancing at the Columbia in Ybor City which I hear is great, but did feed pelicans at the Pier. I have absolutely no complaints about Sand Castle, I think it is the best condo in the area.

Sandcastle II is located on a beautiful beach. It has great views of the Gulf from each condo as you enjoy a spacious balcony running from the living room over to the master bedroom and watch the sunsets. There is a pool and a hot tub and the decor is excellent. We used all 3 bedrooms and the 2 full baths were very well maintained. Best of all, if you hate to cook, there is a great restaurant right across the street which has a huge deck and even serves breakfast! The food is great at The Pub as evidenced by the many locals who frequent the place, not to mention the boaters who arrive at their dock to join the fun.

Stayed here in Jan. 04. # 407 Great Beach front unit, clean & big enough for all 7 of us.

I stayed at Sand Castle I unit #905. It was a GORGEOUS Gulf Front unit! The people at Florida Lifestyle Vacation Rentals were so helpful and kind. They gave us a good rate and helped to make my family's vacation wonderful. I would recommend this unit, as well as Florida Lifestyle Vacation Rentals, Inc. For those who are interested, I found them at OurCondo. I hope your vacation is as wonderful as mine was!
