Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Due to Hurricane Helene and Milton: The pool & hot tub will be closed till March 3rd 2025 and then will be closed from May 5, 2025 through May 17th 2025 for installation of new pavers on the pool deck. There may also be construction noise as the vendors work to restore the amenities.

Perfectly poised with views of both the gorgeous Gulf waters and the peaceful Intracoastal Waterway, this contemporary beachfront getaway allows you to savor all the natural beauty the sunny Florida coast has to offer. Enjoy inspiring golden sunrises by morning, and cap off the day with dramatic blushing sunsets in the evenings from the spacious furnished balcony. As part of the Sand Dollar community, you’ll also enjoy access to luxe amenities like a beachfront heated pool.

Inside your condo, find an inviting and chic living space with soothing seaside hues. Fully equipped, the kitchen features granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Three well-appointed bedrooms provide ample space to recharge - with the sun-kissed primary suite offering direct access to the balcony. Added perks include smart TVs, a private washer and dryer, beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler.

Indian Shores is a quiet beach community just south of Indian Rocks Beach and popular with everyone from snowbirds to seabirds. It’s laden with Florida charm and fiery sunsets, and its assortment of shops and restaurants helps visitors feel right at home. Just 19 blocks long, the community is known for its friendly atmosphere, panoramic beaches, great seafood, and tropical wildlife. It’s also home to the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary, one of the largest nonprofit bird hospitals in the country (a 5-minute walk from the Sand Dollar), and the fun-filled Splash Harbour Water Park.

Great location with a beautiful view

This would be 5/5 except the pool and hot tub were being renovated after the hurricane and we weren’t informed until a week before we checked in. Other than that, the unit was fantastic. Plenty of space, great views, and a very responsive host. We had an issue with the AC that was fixed promptly and overall we would stay again and 100%’recommend this location .promptlyand o

After the Storm

Overall, the area seem to be coming back strong from the storm. There were quite a few stacks of debris in the area but more so to the North end of the island. There were a lot of restaurants and and shops open so we had plenty to look at and do overall. It was a pleasant time. .shops up and everything seem pleasant

A bit disappointed

We had stayed at this property last summer and loved everything about it. We were a bit disappointed this year as we had a couple issues. First our door code didn't work. We communicated with Vacasa and they provided the code to the key lock box so that worked out. The toilet in the master bathroom would not fill after each flush. That was a problem as we had to take the tank lid off and press down the valve to fill the tank. Vacasa and the 'local team' communicated with us but nobody showed up to fix. At one point we were told that someone was on the property and we gave them permission to enter. We were there at the time and waited but, again, nobody arrived to fix even though we received a text saying it was "checked out and the toilets flushed properly". The last issue is the outside hallway light by the room with 2 queens. It constantly blinks like a disco light making it hard to sleep in that room. I would recommend a blackout curtain on that window instead of blinds.

Girls trip

We had a great stay for our girls weekend. The property was gorgeous exactly like the photographs. The location was amazing and we were able to enjoy the beach, it was very nice that the property had beach chairs for us to use. We were able to hang out and reconnect, the property was a home away from home. I would definitely go back!

Ladies Weekend

Great 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo; wonderful views from the wrap around deck; Comfortably slept 7 adults and easily could have added the 8th without space issues. Spacious seating areas, and access to each bathroom from a bedroom, but also from the living space. Home decor is awesome, especially the light colors, beachy feel, and no carpet. Easy shared ride form the airport and amazing restaurants within walking distance, and access to the trolley system if wanting to go further without a vehicle. Just steps from the beach, pool and pier, with an outdoor shower to rinse off. Elevators are super busy around check in time on a Saturday - thankful we got there on a Thursday instead!! Definitely will find time to come back again!

Don’t be fooled by the building which is a bit older. Once you get inside the home it is immaculate and beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

More than expected!

The condo was very well kept and we just loved how much was available to us to use for the beach and the pool! Like towels and chairs and beach toys and all kinds of things! The kitchen was also well supplied in regards to cooking and eating needs. We barely needed to leave the property. And it being a private beach and pier allowed it to never feel crowded or anything like that. It was an overall wonderful experience!

Can’t beat the location

Rental was beautiful, comfortable and perfectly located. It was great size for family of 6 (ages 2 & 4) inc. grandparents. Being walking distance to the beach was priceless, as was spacious balcony w/ ocean views. There were plenty of pillows and towels, which we appreciated. And kitchen was well-stocked w/ dishes / bakeware. That said, experience w/ Vacasa, the mngmt company, was not great. It’s clear they have no familiarity w/ property itself. Every time you call/email a different person responds, and they were not very responsive. It often took days or weeks to reply to messages, even after several attempts to reach out. After not hearing from them for a while, I finally called and asked whether they had pack n play, high chair, beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, sand toys, etc. They told me no to most. So, I rented all of these items. Come to find out, the condo had all but the pack n play and beach umbrella. Obviously the person I spoke with had never been in the condo, nor had talked to anyone who had ever been in the condo. In the end, I’m glad I rented because 3 of the 4 chairs were broken. A provided baby gate was also broken, and provided box fans were also broken. Again, clearly no one from the management company had ever actually been in the condo or assessed the supplies and their workability. Also, pro tip: disable the Nest auto-setting for the thermostat and watch out for the pigeons on balcony. They made a huge mess and woke us up at 6 am everyday.

Beautiful stay in Indian Shores

This was a beautiful, clean, updated condo on the beach in Indian Shores. We had a great time and enjoyed using the pool, hot tub, and the fishing pier was an added bonus. The condo itself was perfect - plenty of room, TVs and seating for our family. We hope to be back next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
