Awesome place. Second time staying here and it was just as good as the first. Only advice it to bring shampoo/conditioner as they didn’t supply any.

Wonderful Beach Stay

We had a great stay. They have a perfect and very beautiful location on the beach. Sunsets were amazing. Jen was extremely helpful and the communication was great. The unit was very well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. We would definitely go back next time we are in the area.

A great week

This property was identical to the photos and description. Everything we needed was in the home including towels, plenty of sheets and bedding, dishes, coffee pot, and even laundry hampers! Sunning on the roof is a nice experience and the sunsets on the gulf are absolutely breathtaking. The property owner is very responsive and reached out to make sure things were going okay the day we arrived. There is just nothing like being right on the beach! I would definitely book again!

This is a great rental unit and meets the promises shown on the internet. The owner is super responsive and any questions we had were addressed immediately and satisfactorily.The unit itself has anything you’ll need and view is terrific.Remember this is a rental and not your house so judge accordingly. You’ll find it’s all you need and more.A note of caution. There is no elevator and about 30 steps up to the entry on the second floor. The stairs are interrupted by a landing between ground a floor 1 and another between 1st and 2nd floor.People with average abilities will have no problems.VRBO rental process was easy and as efficient as I’ve always experienced.

Breathtaking views!

This place is worth it for the balcony views alone! Perfect location with 2 parking spots is a rare find. Spacious interior that is well stocked with all you need. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys in the storage closet were a nice bonus! The owners were incredibly helpful and communicative. Would highly recommend!The only thing to note is that the 3rd bedroom loft is not fully closed off, it has blinds over the opening for privacy but not a solid wall. Not a big deal but we did not realize in the pictures (description does say loft though).

Indiana Shores - Beautiful Beach / Great Location

The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The balcony overlooked the ocean and the beach being right out your backdoor was perfect. We were traveling with a small child so a couple of things to be cautious of are: lots of stairs to walk up to get to the unit so loading and unloading luggage was a challenge and single stairs and spiral stairs in the condo were a challenge with an 18 month old. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this condo to friends and family. Property management were accessible and responsive.

Wonderful stay with the best view

Such a relaxing trip and so needed for our family! We got away for the Thanksgiving holiday as we lost our home in Hurricane Helene, and this property was the perfect place to destress and enjoy family time. With all the balconies and the gorgeous views, we could keep an eye on the kids while they played down by the water. House was clean and comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

A conflicting review

I have never written a negative review, so let me start with the positives. The location is great, views are amazing, and kitchen and bathrooms are updated. Now, onto the negatives, the furnishings both inside and on the decks were not up to par. Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to sit on the living room furniture. The mattresses were really bad. Lastly, everyone should know that there are 32 steps to climb to enter the unit.
