Excellent location

The condo was exactly as described & had the best sunsets. Plenty of food places to walk to then "home" for sitting on the balcony for sunset most nights. Joyce was excellent to work with & answered my few questions quickly. Loved having the beach stuff in the balcony closet & so easy to get setup on the beach. Will definitely be back to this place again in the future & have already recommended to several friends. Thank you Joyce for sharing your condo with us!

Amazing condo, breathtaking views!!!

Our family just wrapped up an unforgettable week staying at this condo. The entire unit was perfect for our family of four! All of the beds are extremely comfortable, and the unit had everything we needed for the perfect stay, including lots of beach essentials! The condo building itself was great, clean and well maintained, and the listing could not be more true…you literally feel like you are on the beach while taking in the view from the balcony! We watched the sunset every night from the beach or the balcony, both great! The condo is also in a great location, walking distance to shops, stores, activities, and restaurants. The best part? The beach! Indian Shores is a peaceful beach town, not too crowded this time of year and perfectly relaxing which is just what we needed. If you are looking for the perfect gulf shore experience…you will love this condo!! Thank you Joyce for allowing us the chance to stay here!

Wonderful Place to Stay

We are from Iowa and this is the 2nd time in a year that we stayed at this property. Ǐt is great in so many ways. All of the people we encountered, including owner, property manager, workers and other guests were very friendly. The unit was perfect as well as the location. We feel safe, it is very convenient. Can’t wait to go back!!

Beautifully noisy

The view from the balcony was amazing! The condo had everything needed. Owner was very nice. Our stay in the condo was ruined due to the sand replenishment and the work being done on the building. We were not told that all of this was going on. We should have been given the option before coming to stay or find a different place. But the owner was nice and did refund part of our stay. We we had to check out quickly and find a new place which was not easy in a short amount of time. We lost money because we had stocked the refrigerator with food to cook and where we ended up, tho it had a fridge it did not have a stove so we lost aver $100 worth of food. Again owner was very nice, she even bought us lunch for our troubles. I would like to stay again at some point but next time I will know to ask questions about any repairs going on before I go. Condo is exactly as shown in pictures and so is the view! The only issue we found as far as the condo itself is it could use new mattresses and tho the master shower is beautiful, there is no water pressure to enjoy all the fancy jets the shower has. All in all I would recommend staying here! Only reason for the 3 star over all rating was due to the lack of commincting the goings on at the beach and condo, mattresses, and water pressure. I would also recommd a high top table to see over the rails of the balcony because the view is gorgeous and the sunset is breathtaking!!!

Great Time!

We had beautiful weather and clear water, perfect for swimming. Really enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the balcony watching all the beach things! The keys required some jiggling to make them work, but we found some WD40, and that helped some! I think a few more keys(we only had 2) or maybe the newer code entry would be good. I would stay there again!

Everything was perfect

This place cannot get closer to the ocean. We spent so much time on the balcony listening to the waves, “working” remotely. The condo was well stocked, well maintained, check in process was easily communicated and it was very spacious 2 bedroom (3 bed) 2 bathroom place. Would recommend 100/100 times and will rent again when we come back!

Perfect beach house

This house was amazing. Very clean. Everything you could ever need is at the house. Loved the location, the balcony was amazing looking at the beach. And the beach its on is pretty quite and not crazy busy like Clearwater beach. Wish there would of been a sign telling us all the beach stuff is in a closet on a balcony. Didn’t find that out until the second day. Also there are a lot of people that smoke there, so be aware you will smell smoke sometimes from the balcony. But other then that there is absolutely no where better to stay. I will be returning every time I visit Florida, that is if it’s still for rent lol. Do not pass this place up!

Awesome vacation

Our stay met all our expectations with the exception that the beds were a bit uncomfortable. The view and the beach made up for anything lacking there. The condo was otherwise well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was fully supplied and almost felt like home. Joyce was an awesome host.

This condo is all about the view! The bed was hard, but that small detail melted away when you were engrossed by the sounds of the waves as you enjoyed your morning coffee on the patio. The owner and manager were awesome. Would recommend to anyone that needs to get away!

Watched sunsets from the large balcony every evening.

We had a wonderful stay. This unit was in a great location. The beach was not crowded at all. The unit had beach chairs and umbrella to use! It was clean and stocked with everything in the kitchen anyone would need. Loved the 4 glass doors/panels that had a beautiful view of the ocean. The large balcony has comfy furniture to watch the sunsets. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce Lobo

I've been visiting the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area for 20 years and have stayed all over. Once I stayed at Holiday Villas II in 2002, I never stayed anywhere else. In 2006 I decided since I keep coming back there time and time again, I should just purchase my own condo.

Why they chose this property

Holiday Villas II is a lovely, affordable facility that appeals to people of all ages.

What makes this property unique

Our building has one of the largest pools of other condo complexes in the area. We have tables with umbrellas and more than 50 chairs and loungers around the pool. The pool is heated to 86 degrees for year round comfort.
