Great location but needs updating

The location is stellar but it didn’t appear to have been well kept. The basic “3 hour clean” had been done in between renters, but blinds, light fixtures, fans were covered in dust. Kitchenware was hit or miss, light bulbs were out, that kind of stuff. For the price, it needs a little more attention to detail.

Great location!

I’ll start by saying the location is awesome! Views of beach and sunsets were amazing from the balcony. I liked it was gated from the street. This keeps random people from walking through to go to the beach. Able to open a window at night and hear the waves(Very relaxing). The storage had plenty of beach chairs and toys. One thing missing was beach towels. House was clean but cleaners could do a better job of detailed cleaning. We found that under the beds had a lot of dust built up and also the tops of ceiling fans. Had our allergies going a bit. It was nice to have 2 covered parking spots. Walking distance to several places to eat. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here 😁🌴☀️

Location Can't Be Beat!

My family and I have stayed at various units in Gulfside Villas for over 20 years. We continue to return because the overall ambiance, location and facilities are fabulous. The unit is just steps from the beach with a side-balcony view. You truly cannot beat Indian Rocks Beach! The pool was beautiful and clean and so nice for taking a dip when the Gulf got very warm in the afternoons. The unit itself is pretty and clean. The bedrooms are comfortably appointed and the mattresses give you a good night's sleep. One small detail - the mattresses are actually so nice and big, the sheets are a struggle to keep on the beds. Particularly the bunk beds - the corners kept sliding off. There's plenty of closet space. The floors of this unit have been redone since we were last here (2021) and while lovely (and easier to walk on than tile), we'd love to see them add a few throw rugs here and there. Particularly at the entry-way - no matter how hard you try to rinse the sand off of your feet, a bit of the beach somehow finds it way in. We ended up going to Target and buying a small throw rug to place at the base of the stairs for foot wiping. We do cook meals in our unit and discovered the cookware was pretty beat-up. Lots of scratches on non-stick cookware, which really makes it unsafe to use. We made do, but they really need to replace the skillet at least. This unit remains a favorite at Gulfside Villas!

Great Location

We stayed here as a family of five for spring break. You cannot beat the location and proximity to the beach! The condo was within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in Indian Beach. The beach was fifty feet away. It made it very convenient to run up and use the restroom or grab a snack or drink. The pool in the complex was small and we did not use it much, but was warm when we felt it. The condo has a lot of nice amenities. The kitchen has been updated and is very well stocked. The storage locker had a lot of beach toys, floats, chairs, and a tent for shade on the beach. It was very easy to access all of these items with the code on the storage locker door. The front door for entering and exiting the condo was similar-with a code. It made check-in and check-out a breeze. There are keys provided to enter/exit the pool and the condo community. The washer and dyer were nice to have. Very few linens were provided. We had to do laundry everyday and bring our own beach towels. I purchased some extra bath and hand towels and left them in the condo hopefully for others to not have to do laundry while on vacation. Streaming and cable tv were great options on the very nice tvs in the condo. There were written instructions left on how to use everything and recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area. We needed to contact the rental property for help with a couple things during our stay. They were extremely easy to contact via text, very quick to respond, and came out quickly as well. While the condo was nice, it is in need of an update. The bed spreads are very worn and faded. The carpet on the steps and upstairs is very thin and shows a lot of ware. The shower bar holding the curtain in the downstairs bathroom was rusted and fell down. The lights on the porch are rusted and the table is in need of a new coat of paint. This being said, the location and the other amenities make up for some of the aesthetics. We would definitely rent here again!!

Great unit

Three generation group stayed at the condo for a week. Grandparents (70s) managed the stairs ok. Check in and out was super easy. Unit had everything we needed including beach items except beach towels. Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of cooking options. Likes the pantry space and laundry available in the unit.

Gulfside Unit 3

First the location is awesome. The beach is beautiful and there are many restaurants within walking distance. The kitchen was well stocked. Loved the ice maker in the refrigerator. Only thing needed is a new toaster as only the outside coils work. The crock pot came in handy. Lots of pots and pans too! One concern we had was that maintenance came to remove the threshold to the door to the balcony as it was loose and became a tripping hazard. They never returned to replace it. As some days were cold, we placed a towel at the bottom of the door to reduce the draft. As the unit was not as clean as we expected, we bought cleaning supplies and a vacuum. We were long term renters, so the cleaning supplies came in handy. Might not be so bad if one is a weekly renter. The storage room could use a good cleaning out. Last, the sunsets were spectacular.

Location (quiet beach, close to attractions) was perfect! Complex was nice. Unit needs maintenance (we replaced the A/c filter during our stay, clogged drain, dishwasher doesn’t clean well) but it didn’t impact our stay.

Booked a beach getaway after a cold winter, and it was a great experience for our family. Beach location was perfect for families, much quieter than other locations on the coast. The place was clean, well equipped for a family and we enjoyed everything about our stay. Even caught a few fish from the beach!

Excellent for families

The location of this property is excellent! It was a quiet area which was exactly what we were looking for. I was so glad we stayed at Indian Rocks I stood directly in Clearwater. The beach is great, but quieter and very family friendly. It is right on the beach and close to grocery stores. The pool was great! The condo itself was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed. It goes through a property management company, so not as personal as some other Vrbo listings, but we didn’t have any problems and the company was willing to work with us on check in and check out times. The only suggestion I would have is to provide beach towels. Thankfully we brought a couple just in case and washed everyday, but it would be nice if they had some there. We would definitely return to this property! It was so convenient to the beach and pool and made an excellent relaxing experience.

Nice relaxing stay for a family getaway.

Overall everything was good and clean. Had a ton of amenities for sitting on the beach. Only issue was the storage area was not picked up and had to dig everything out and put it back somewhat more accessible. There was little hand soap which was one of our only real concerns. Had a wonderful time and everything we needed to stay situated for the week.
