About this property

Elegant Coastal Retreat Located at Village Sands~

Welcome to Village Sands 1A

Welcome to this elegant coastal retreat located at Village Sands, nestled on the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico. This beach front beauty has the perfect blend of comfort, convenience and coastal charm that will make a memorable beach vacation.

The condo has a large covered balcony which is perched high above the sandy shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico, and is perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze in the afternoons by swinging in the hammock after a long sun-soaked day at the beach or enjoying a glass of wine while watching breathtaking sunsets each evening.

This bungalow style abode offers a spacious layout with a coastal chic design while having all the comforts of home. Fully equipped, the well-appointed kitchen overlooks the light and airy living area and thoughtful perks like a full-size washer and dryer are provided in the condo. The living area is laden with Florida charm from the wicker floral furnishings to the coastal dcor and offers an unbeatable beach front backdrop with 2 sliders that lead out to the covered balcony.

The two bedrooms offer that extra piece of privacy with the bedrooms located on opposite sides of the home. The primary boasts a King size bed, ceiling fan, coastal dcor, and hotel style amenities with a full bath right outside the door including a bath/shower combo. The guest bedroom boasts 2 twins, ceiling fan, coastal decor and hotel style amenities with a full bath right outside the door including a walk-in shower.

This quaint 2nd story beachfront gem is centrally located in the heart of Indian Shores with an abundance of restaurants and shops that are conveniently located within a 5 min drive. If it is action, you crave, you can take in all that downtown St. Pete and Johns Pass Village has to offer to the South or check out Pier 60 on Clearwater Beach located to the North.

Overall we had an excellent stay! Great location with a very short walk from the condo to the beach. Nice convenience store across the street and short drive to some very nice restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing for those that love the beach!

We loved our stay here. The location was amazing. Steps away from the ocean, wonderful sunset watching deck and close to everything you need. The only thing we wished we would of had is a grill. Loved our stay here!

Great Flat

Property is directly on the beach. The lanai/covered deck is wonderful to enjoy the view and still be in the shade.

Awesome beach house!

It was our 1st time visiting Indian Shores and Tampa and we loved it. We’re definitely coming back. The beach house was perfect. So convenient to have beach access downstairs. We loved having breakfast and taking afternoon naps on the patio/balcony. Our girls fought over the hammock! Yall provided everything we needed for our stay. Thx again!

Our almost favorite beach house!

This is a bit of my past as I have lived in the Tampa area since 1946. We always vacationed on Indian rocks beach! It is a great area a lot of good food. Best beach’s don’t tell anyone. Thanks so much Carmen she went over and above to help us when we neglected to pack several items when coming back home.

Awesome property!

I can't say enough about this beautiful property...perfect location, perfect sunsets, perfect house, simple and easy check-in process! If I could have one wish, it would have been for an elevator (but that's only because I had major heart surgery-no fault of the place). I would go back in a heartbeat...absolutely perfect!

Beautiful get away

Wife and I stayed here the first week of March. This is an amazing property, literally steps from the beach. We were so relaxed staying here. It’s a quieter part of the beach. There are plenty of things to do if you wish but we preferred to just either sit on the covered deck and listen to the waves or sit on the beach. The condo had everything you could use or need during a stay. Parking was ever so easy . The check in was quite simple and easy. Hope to stay here again in the future!

Paradise

This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean. The house is literally steps away and the deck had the best view you could ever ask for. There was an umbrella and some chairs, boogie boards, etc. to take to the beach, which was helpful. It is on a quiet stretch of beach, not crowded at all. All of the action was just a few minute drive, in either direction. The water was so clear and calm, it truly was paradise. Inside there was sleeping room for 6 and all the kitchen accessories needed. It was a great stay! We will be back!

Fantastic!

We absolutely loved our stay at Village Sands 1A. The house is in the perfect location, it is close to shopping and restaurants. The house is literally steps from the water and the view of the sunset every night from the deck was amazing. The house was fully stocked with everything you might need. Tons of towels, extra bedding and every piece of cookware you might need. The only downfall was that when we booked, they had listed we would have a outdoor grill which their was not and since this has been removed from the amenities. We were told that we would be allowed to grill if we purchased one. This definitely didn't change our trip. We loved every minute of it and cant wait to go back!

Great place. Communication was almost non existent. When i booked in Jan I inquired as to if there was a grill. I was told there was. There was not one available. Also, after they got our money couldnt get them to answer messages or texts.
