  Florida lifestyles was a great company to deal with for this rental. Very helpful and available anytime we needed them. However, the actual unit could use a little bit of sprucing up bathroom needed some TLC. Everything else during our stay was great.

  Ginger H from KANSAS CITY, Missouri recommends this vacation rental

  Our vacation to Indian Shores/Rocks was amazing. Sand Castle II is in a very quite and convenient location. The beach is steps away. Ground at this condo are well maintained and the pool area is great. Florida Lyfestyles was great to work with. The kitchen in the condo was wonderful and the unit was clean. The balcony was large and provide a perfect place to watch sunset and dolphins playing in the water. The bedrooms are satisfactory but need new blinds. Anyone from across the street at Caddy's can see into the unit since part of the blind was missing. Nothing prevents the parking lot lights from shining in all night. It was great to have a washer and dryer in unit! I would stay again.

  We had a great time at Sand Castle II. This condo was an end unit so the breeze on the balcony was great. The beach and weather was also perfect this year (no red tide). Everything in the condo worked and we didn't have to call anyone for anything to be repaired. Everything we needed for our vacation was included in the condo. I would rent this condo again.

  The condo was just as described. The decor is a little dated but it's not an issue since we spent most of out time at the beach and exploring the beautiful area. I highly recommend fixing the glass door to the balcony from the main room. It is extremely hard to open and loud. Other than that, the condo was clean and comfortable.

  a guest from Elko New Market, MN recommends this vacation rental

  Overall we had a great week at Sand Castle II- unit 2506. The location and view can't be beat! The kitchen has been nicely updated and we had all the utensils, equipment we needed. There were a few items that could have been better. We had no tv or internet when we arrived. We figured out the 9 remotes after the first day so the tv worked but the internet did not work until Tuesday when the office figured out they had given us the wrong id/password. The unit was clean except for the floors. Our socks were black after only a couple of hours so we mopped the floors ourselves. The patio door was difficult to impossible to open. The men were the only ones that were strong enough to push it open/closed.

  • Manager Responded on 3/22/2022

    Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed our beaches. Upon arrival, we ask all guests to notify us if there are any issues with the condo, cleaning, maintenance, etc. If we had known sooner about the sliding patio door we would have sent maintenance out to take care of it for you. We do have to rely on our owners to supply us with the proper passwords for the internet and sometimes they forget to notify us of any changes.

  Nothing can beat the view from the balcony of this condo, the daily sunsets, the white sand, the happy (not noisy) beachcombers. The property was clean and the kitchen had all the necessities for home cooking. Because it’s not a new property, there will be maintenance issues, but Florida Lifestyle has always been helpful. The area has numerous great restaurants.

  We had a wonderful and relaxing time. We loved the views, pool and hot tub. We loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies. There where three things that we think need to be addressed. The door walls are very old and hard to open and close at times, the mattresses need to be replaced and the additional fans need to be cleaned. Over all I would recommend family and friends to stay at the unit.

  a guest from Grange Park, London recommends this vacation rental

  The fully stocked and upgraded kitchen was great and the view from unit is fabulous. Having two bathrooms was great. Living room couch is not the most comfortable but the dining table is large and lovely. The beds are on the firmer/harder side. The balcony furniture is pretty outdated and one of the two loungers was badly stained and they could use more chairs out there – it is a large balcony and great for breakfast and lunch while enjoying the ocean view.
  
  The location is great with Caddy’s across the street and many restaurants on Gulf Blvd to choose from. Grocery shopping was only a few miles away and we found a great place for fresh bagels (St. Pete’s Bagel Company) in Largo. Always love going to John’s Pass a few miles down the road and Clearwater is very close as well.
  
  Overall, a good trip!

  Heather L from Grange Park, London recommends this vacation rental

  We loved the setup of the room, loved the view and balcony, but when we arrived, the door was wide open and the AC was not working. There was sand all over the floor, kitchen counter and dining table so it appeared that it wasn’t cleaned. When I called the office, they said it was mopped and cleaned but if it was, they were not thorough at all. They were great about sending someone out right away to get the air fixed, but it took longer than it should have because one of the doors to handler was locked and they didn’t have a key.
  But even after all that, we still had a great vacation and loved the room.

It is just a short drive away from any attractions you would like to do. Shopping was very close. The view was BREATHTAKING!! We could have stayed on the balcony and just have been happy! The beach was everything we wanted and the kids were so happy. We are already trying to figure out when we can come back. My kids cried when we left because they just wanted to stay. Five Stars hands down

  ** I gave cleanliness 4 stars as baseboards in the condo were so dusty, i wasnt there to look at the baseboards tho ;)

  What a wonderful 3 BR condo on the Gulf! The condo is clean and comfortable and an unusual 3 BR! We had trouble with the dishwasher but it may have been user error because it was relatively new. The dryer is old and frustratingly took 3 cycles to get things to dry. The balcony furniture was also a little disappointing, but everything else was great! Getting the key was easy, the pool was clean and fun for the kids and the location in Indian Shores was awesome! I've already recommended this unit to a friend.

  Stayed at sandcastle 2 for 2 weeks still not enough time. Enjoyed the sunsets and walking the beach looking for sea shells. Seeing dolphins and boats. Would have like to hit up the hot tub but after seeing kids under 13 in it why would u want to go in. Saw one baby in a swim diaper go in there. I like how there are signs up but parents can't read or dont care. Must be the new kiddy pool. Lol. I like to see more management on duty more control over the policy. Trespasses coming from the caddys pub to access the beach for a picture of the sunset.

  We just spent two weeks at Sand Castle II in Indian Shores and had a wonderful time. The condo was exceptional with everything you could ever need for cooking a meal. We mostly took advantage of the many nearby restaurants. Caddy’s Pub is just across the street and the trolley stop is right out front. There’s a washer and dryer right in the condo and we did have to wash towels and washclothes frequently.

  We spent a week in this great condo, facing the Gulf of Mexico. Theview was amazing, we enjoyed having all our meals on the balcony, with incredible sunsets everynight. The beach is nice too, white sand and not too much wave. The water was so warm!
  
  The Sand Castle II is a big complex, with lots of condos rented, so the beach and the pool weretoo crowded for us. People leaving stuff on the beach, putting music during the day, kids in the jacuzzi... not very relaxing! That was one of the downside of this rental.
  
  Also, we ran into a few issues (missing corkscrew, tv and DVD player in the living room not working) but all those problems were fixed by the agency in a timely manner. The condo is great for a large family since it has 3 bedrooms, but the bathrooms are quite small. Also, the condo could use a good cleanup and could be modernized (old furniture). The AC in one of the bedroom is so minimal it feels like it's not working.

  The location is perfect. Lots of restaurants, places to visit, and shopping. Close to John Pass where we shopped and rented jet skies. Lots of fun! Tropical Storm Colin went through. The condo was very nice. It has three bedrooms and each one is decorated nicely. Beach towels were provided along with a beach umbrella. The pool was very crowed so we were not able to use it . Many families standing around in groups. It seemed like someone's backyard pool party. Sand castle I was quieter and not as rowdy.

  Seth S recommends this vacation rental

  My family and I had a wonderful vacation, we loved the location and sitting out on the large porch in the mornings and evenings. The recently updated bathrooms were also very nice (with the exception of the height of the track for the shower door in the master which I scraped my head on, at 6'1", several times before I remembered to duck when stepping out). Everything inside was very nice and clean. One small issue was with the dvd/vcr combo in the living area - I got a Redbox, but it wouldn't play on the DVD player - not sure if it needs a software update or is just broken, but an easy fix and a very minor inconvenience in what was just a perfect vacation week for us with the weather and crowds that weren't bad at all for a holiday week.

  Richard W from Burlington, ON recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful experince, the condo was more then we could have hoped for, three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen, the view from the balcony was breath taking, and the rap around view of the inter coastal waters was perfect. This unit is suitable for all ages, my grand children played on the beach all day and loved swimming in the Gulf and in the pool. The property was very clean and well looked after every day with pool area was cleaned and the decks and chairs were washed. The condo is located close to everything, The Pub right across the road has excellent food and is suitable for children. There is a rental shop close where you can rent boats, bikes, etc. I would recommend this condo to all ages and love the end units with the rap around balcony.

  Phillip P from Mount Juliet, TN recommends this vacation rental

  From the ease of booking, to the ease of check-in and the ease of check-out, everything about the rental experience was positive. The unit (2506) is well maintained, well equipped and offers enough space to enjoy family time and privacy when needed. The gulf front balcony wraps around the north end of the unit and affords spectacular views of the gulf, the beach and gorgeous sunsets. The water pressure in the master bathroom was awesome. Of note, the master bed mattress is very firm and the dryer usually took two cycles to dry a medium-sized load of laundry. Overall, the unit looks just like it does in the photos and the location is very convenient and easily accessible. We ended our 10-day vacation feeling relaxed and rested.

  Hallie N from Cedar Lake, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We were overall happy with our stay at 2506. The condo was large enough to accommodate our group. The location was perfect, with The Pub directly across the street for many meals and relaxing for drinks. The beach is beautiful, and relaxing to listen to while lying in bed in the morning. We had a very busy agenda and weren't around as much as I would have liked. The kitchen is very pretty and I wish we had been there more to use it. Water pressure was GREAT. One thing I would tell other renters is to be prepared to supply everything. We have rented many places on the beach that came stocked and you replaced what you used in regards to supplies - toilet, paper towels, garbage bags, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, etc. We had to get back out the very next morning to stock up. Since there was nothing left behind we are assuming the cleaning staff takes it all home. I took as much home as I could! This needs to be indicated on the website but you don't know it til you get the check in sheet from the agency. The condo was pretty clean, a little dusty, no big deal. The pool was nice. Overall, you can't beat the price and the location for hitting all the places St. Pete Beach area has to offer. Tons of easy shopping just over the bridge. October is a great time to go to Florida! Stock up on beer and liquor from a store down by St. Pete Beach...the local stores are SUPER expensive!
  Notes to rental agency/maintenance: Dryer vents need checking as it wouldn't dry clothes well, and the icemaker in the freezer kept locking up.

  Kevin C from Chicago, IL recommends this vacation rental

  My family and I would definitely return to this location and condo. The property was clean, updated and served our family's needs. The corner location not only provided great views of the gulf as well as the inter-coastal but also was great at night when we sat out on the balcony with the breeze blowing between the buildings.
  We only had one minor issue with one of the bedrooms but upon calling the management company, was fixed within 3 days.
  The property is directly across from The Pub which provided good rest from the sun for lunch, when needed.
  The location is close enough to Clearwater Beach as well as John's Pass for fishing charters, which was about 12-15 minutes each way.
  I would definitely recommend this unit for rental to my family that would be travelling to the Clearwater area.

  Tim S from Madison, OH recommends this vacation rental

  This is the second time I have rented Sand Castle 2506 for a relaxing beach vacation with my wife, my grown children and my grandson. Although I needed no encouragement to reserve this unit for a second time I had little choice because my family pleaded with me to go tot the same condo this year.
  
  Fond memories of our first stay created a bond that made us all feel at home in that place. This unit stand apart for us because of the wrap-around balcony, the 5th floor views and the clean and comfortable furnishings.
  
  Even though we are quite familiar with the Gulf coast from St. Pete to Clearwater, we love the Indian Shores area most. Having the beach right outside your back door is only the beginning. The fact that this spot provides the ability to walk across the street to The Pub for meals or drinks is great as is the convenience of the boat and scooter rental next door to The Pub. The location of Sand Castle 2506 could not be better.
  
  As I approach retirement I know I will be spending more time in the area and intend to bring my family to 2506 Sand Castle for future vacation fun. I know my family will give me no other choice!

  Lisa E from Libertyville, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We love coming to our condo and look forward to coming again next year. A couple of suggestions -the mattress in the first bedroom (the one with the double bed) is very very hard and would like to see a pillow top on the bed to make it more comfortable to sleep on. Also that bedroom gets a little stuffy and would benefit from a ceiling fan or a portable fan on the nightstand. The blinds could be replaced in all the bedrooms as there are slats missing in some and the light shines through or doesn't close all the way. The king size bed would benefit from a pillow top on the mattress as it is also a little on the hard side.
