Sand Dollar Getaway
Cindy was absolutely amazing! We checked in on Memorial day weekend and the rental company forgot our wrist bands for the property. By the time realized the company was closed for the long weekend - Cindy called me personally and let us use her personal stash - Thank you so much!! The condo was spacious and easily accommodated our family of 5. Extra beach towels and toys for the sand was a definite plus! Highly recommend this property as well as the owner 🌊

Family Spring Break
Pros: The condo unit was exactly as described. Very spacious, lots of room for the 7 of us to enjoy. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. Great Location. Beach was literally right past the pool. Not too crowded. Balcony had plenty of furniture and you could see both the ocean and the intercoastal from your perch on the 5th floor. You can rent beach lounger/cabanas. Lots of parking. Cons: The elevator. Not only is it super slow but it is small and cramped. Wish there were more dishes. Not enough bowls for everyone. Could really use a keyless door. Sounds like there used to be one and it broke. Hard to share keys for 7 for the condo unit, bathroom by the pool and staircase. Not enough chairs by the pool. If you don't get down early you will not get a chair. People would "reserve" 8 chairs for their group and only 2 were at the pool, no idea where the rest of their group was maybe the beach. There were multiple groups that did this.

The perfect getaway
The condo is superb, clean and comfortably furnished, with plenty of room. The amenities are great, we enjoyed the pier, pool and hot tub and long walks on the beach. The location can’t be beat, away from the hustle and bustle, but still close to attractions. We’ll definitely be back.

Great place
we had a wonderful family vacation. Condo itself was so nice and comfortable. . Sand Dollar itself could do some upgrades to extremely slow elevator and not needing a key or code for pool, beach gate(that barely works) and a key for the pool bathroom. Indian Shores is wonderful and we made some great memories

Family Vacay
We took a family vacation for the first time in 10 years. We have a blended family now, and had the best time even if we were in the middle of RED TIDE. We weren't able to get on the beach but one day, that didn't stop us from going to the pool and still enjoying our time together. We laughed, played and enjoyed ourselves the entire time. We definitely will be back. Great location to everything.

Enjoyed the property and views
Loved the location on the beach and pool. We had 7 guest including two 22 year Olds, two 19 year olds and an 18 year old. The space in the living room and bedrooms were perfect. Loved the morning coffee on the patio. To improve the stay it would have been nice to have enough dish soap to hand wash some dishes and an extra roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. Only what was on the roll is provided. The dryer was not working upon arrival. The property management took 24 hours to respond back. Fortunately my husband is talented knowing how to fix the dryer spending about 1 hour of our vacation. A small token credit was offered for the inconvenience. We were surprised at all the beach chairs and umbrellas available to use. That was wonderful! Also the property did have some beach towels available. Overall great location and enjoyed the stay.

Wonderful stay at fully equipped condo
We had wonderful vacation at Indian Shores and this condo was perfect for our family. We traveled with 3 teens, my father, my husband and I. The condo was big enough for everyone to spread out & have their own bed. The view is beautiful! The balcony does not face the Gulf - but still has a great view of the Gulf & the channel! Amazing that you’re able to catch sunrise & sunset from the same place! We appreciated having beach chairs, beach towels, & umbrella available to use. We saw sting rays 3 different days swimming right up to the shore! This area is quiet, not overly crowded - but close to shops & restaurants. You will not be disappointed in your stay here. Thanks for making your condo available, Cindy - we loved it!

Great location
The unit was very spacious and comfortable for our group of 7. Loved the breeze and views of the inter coastal and gulf from the balcony. Nice roomy bedrooms. Great kitchen for making family meals. We appreciated and enjoyed having the use of the beach chairs and umbrellas provided for the beach! The management company should have but did not provide the beach gate code and we had to get that information by asking others on property. Overall a wonderful place for a family vacation.

Great location!
The location of this unit was absolutely amazing. The private beach, pool, and hot tub were great! The unit itself had a lot of space, there was 8 of us and there was enough room for all of us. The 2 twin beds were a bit uncomfortable and we were really disappointed in the cleanliness of the unit, especially for the amount you have to pay for a cleaning deposit. Also with it being rented out by a different facility it was a little inconvenient to have to drop the keys off 30 minutes away instead of just leaving them in the condo at check out. However overall it was a great stay!!

Wonderful Thanksgiving with the Family
The property was great. It was clean and very large. My wife and I stayed with my daughter, son in law, grand daughter age 3 1/2 and grandson 1 1/2. The beach and heated pool got plenty of our time. We had all of the beach supplies that we needed, chairs, umbrellas, blankets, toys and shovels etc. It afforded a wonderful holiday vacation. Plenty of places to eat and visit. We’ll be back!

Loved it!!!
This is kind of a detailed review, but it’s what I look for in reviews to determine my stay somewhere. We arrived late at night and getting our keys was super easy we literally just got our package out of the mailbox and went to our condo. I saw reviews saying the place wasn’t very clean, so I was worried upon arrival. But it was actually very clean and smelled great. There was some sand on the ground and counters, but sand in a condo that is beach front is to be expected in my opinion, so it was fine. The views are BEAUTIFUL, we got to see the dolphins from the waterway and had a great view of the gulf. The couch is different than in the pictures, it’s actually a beautiful cloth sectional couch, which we loved. It was really comfy and there was a big fuzzy blanket that we snuggled us with most of the time. There are only 5 beach towels provided but we brought some of our own so we had plenty to use. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed as well. The big closet area in the master bedroom is FULL of toys, chairs, water boards, a cooler, anything you need for the beach is in there. We all flew in so it was very very nice to have those things provided for us because we weren’t able to bring it with us. And the pier is pretty cool because it’s not overly packed with people since it’s private. The boys went fishing and caught over 30 catfish off of the pier within 2 1/2 hours so definitely try that out. There are poles there, but no reels so they just bought the reels and we were able to pack them on the plane, so if you’re interested in fishing keep that in mind. There’s a Candy Kitchen right down the road that we walked to and got some really good ice cream from and there’s quite a few restaurants and coffee shops near by that are worth checking out! Lastly, we went on a boat ride to Emerald Island (I think that’s what it was called) and it’s definitely something to try out. CHECK THE WEATHER. We went from 11-3, at 1:00 pm it started to thunderstorm and lightning literally struck a nearby tree and we sat unprotected in the storm for the rest of the time and the entire boat ride back. It was a fun activity to do about 40 minutes away, but definitely check the weather. We were freezing by the time we got back and the hot tub was our best friend. I hope this helps, especially people like me that wants to get every detail before coming to a new place. I would definitely come here again, we had a great stay!!
