About this property

Waterfront Beach Townhouse: The best of the beach and the bay

Stunning views and easy beach access make this waterfront (2,600 sq ft living space, 3,000 sq ft total, 3 bedroom / 3 bath) Townhome perfect for families and close friends. This property is truly best of the beach and the bay.

Feel right at home with everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including a full kitchen, outdoor grill, docks for fishing and your boat, Wifi and cable TV, washer/dryer, and garage parking.

Venture out to our world-famous white-sand beaches, great restaurants (including our pick for the best Grouper sandwich in Florida), charming shops, local fish-market, and colorful beach bars, all within a short walk.

The townhouse sleeps up to 10 people. There are 3 formal bedrooms on the third floor, each with a high-end queen size memory foam bed. To expand sleeping option for larger groups, there is a 4th full bed on the second floor next to the kitchen, and we can provide 2 roll out cots with linens upon request.

SNOW BIRDS: Rates are discounted for multi-week stays.

PET OWNERS: We consider pets on a case by case basis.

Read on for our detailed description of the property:

This Mediterranean-style townhome truly offers the best of the beach and the bay. The property is water front with absolutely stunning wide water views. Your backyard is the expansive Boca Ciega Bay and just a block away, in less than three minutes, you can walk to the beach with the beautiful white-sands that Redington Shores is famous for. With miles of sprawling beach and away from the large-chain hotels, you and your family will have plenty of room to enjoy the Gulf shore. When you are ready to change the pace, fish from private docks, enjoy water sports on the bay, or just sit back and enjoy the view. The bay is home to Florida's signature water birds and is frequently visited by dolphins. This particular combination of bay-front and beach access is unique to this location and cannot be found anywhere else in this area.

With more privacy than a condo complex, we welcome you to stay with us in comfort . We are continuously updating this town house. Our most recent updates include fresh paint, new curtains, and new high end washer and dryer.

On the third floor, the master bedroom is bay-facing with stunning views and its own private balcony. The master bath has a double vanity with granite countertops. There is a separate walk-in shower and a deep soaking-tub. Storage space is ample with a walk-in closet. Extra privacy is afforded by the landing which separates the master from the other two bedrooms. The washer and dryer are accessible from the landing for ideal convenience. The second bathroom is again finished with granite counter-tops and has a combination shower-bath. The second and third bedrooms face west with a partial ocean view.

The heart of the townhouse is the open layout of the second floor with beautiful bay views from the living room that opens onto the water-front balcony. The space is roomy for families and groups of friends. Guests stay connected with cable and Wifi available throughout the townhome. The formal dining space is complimented by a fully appointed kitchen where entertaining is made easy with a spacious functional layout, granite countertops, and dark hardwood cabinets. Next to the kitchen is a flexible space that can be used for breakfast or additional sleeping space for larger families or groups. There is a bathroom at the end of the kitchen with a shower-bath combination. Flooring is tile throughout the townhouse.

The ground floor features a bonus room and a 2-car garage. Sliding glass doors from the bonus room open up onto the back patio with a gas grill. Two docks are available for guest and resident use (motor boat docking is not permitted). The large bay is perfect for relaxing, fishing and water-sports.

There are several options for food and drinks within walking distance and some great fine dining within a short drive. John's Pass Village and Boardwalk is a short drive and has something for everyone with restaurants, entertainment, and beach-themed shops. One place that you don't want to miss is practically next door. Wahoo's may not look like much from the outside, but for an authentic fresh-off-the-boat grouper sandwich, this casual local bar is the place to go.

Thank you for your interest in this "best of the beach and the bay" townhouse. We know you will love it here because we love it too.

Beautiful oasis steps from the beach

We absolutely loved this location. It is conveniently located in a quiet beach town. we are not fans of the hustle and bustle of overpacked beaches, this by far exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and smelled great! We highly recommend booking here. We want to come back next year!

First great vacation in a few years!

Our family, in GREAT need of a mental break, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Redington Shores. Though we are very much NOT used to stairs (bad ankles and knees in our bunch) we loved this house and the location. The kids, grandpa and dad all enjoyed the fishing on the bay and we all enjoyed how close the beach is and how much room is in the house. We hope to stay here again!

Condo is beautiful and very spacious. View is amazing. Actually better than just regular ocean front view. Dolphins and Manatees were regular visitors. Docks could use some maintenance but were awesome for fishing. Lots of helpful left over beach items. Could stand to add some brooms or vacuums. Parking garage is great but tight as the neighboring condo kept a large truck in front on the driveway making it difficult to pull in and out of garage but no fault of this condo. We ranged from age 1-70 and it was absolutely perfect so we would definitely stay again!

Beach

The condo was very nice and convenient to the beach. Plenty of linens but could use beach towels. The noise from seafood market was very loud when you sat on back balcony must times. The siding glass to bay on 2nd was hard open. Our granddaughters could not open it. Overall we had a very nice stay Thank you

Views, Location, and Space

I’ve been coming to Redington Shores my whole life - my grandparents had a condo across the street - and we visit the area several times a year. We came for my 40th birthday and had friends come into town, so needed a place with a bit more room. This townhome was perfect. Everyone had their own space and comfortable bed. You couldn’t beat the views from any of the multiple balconies. The beach access is right across the street and the area is walkable to several key town staples for food and beverages (Cocowood Grill, SeaBreeze, Wahoos, Beach Pizza). We stayed in and cooked one night (Mazzaro’s) and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to do so. We will definitely be back next time we have a larger group!

Place was well decorated and mostly clean, needs a deep clean- ceiling fans were too dirty to use and that would’ve been nice as the AC will not go below 75 degrees. Air filters need changed, some air vents had mold growth. Told to leave broom clean, but the only broom was a 3 foot long one, which killed my back to use. Went and bought a swiffer. View was amazing, area was great. Ground keeper was very nice and efficient. Laundry was great as well as the appliances in the kitchen and the bathrooms were very clean

Needs TLC

Location was perfect. Kitchen was perfect. First floor bath was perfect. Balconies were perfect. Sadly, too many issues to give a 5-star rating: - Floors were filthy; desperately need mopping. - Master bath shower has no water pressure. - Master bath sink (right), hot water tap dribbles. - Second floor bathtub drain needs to be snaked. - Second floor bath, sink faucet drips constantly. - Master bedroom mattress sinks (A LOT) in the middle; only one could sleep in that bed and it was not comfortable for even one person. - No remote opener or code for garage door. - Living room furniture needs to be replaced, especially the sofa; you could lose a small child in that thing. - Dining table chairs need replacing; one has a broken arm, two feel like one will fall through the seats. - Not enough blankets; only two in the entire unit. - A/C temperatures cannot be adjusted. Within a minute or two of changing the temperature, they both would default back to 74 degrees. - Ran out of propane on gas grill just as we started cooking; no replacement to be found. Had to borrow tank from next door neighbor to finish cooking our meal. Any one or two of these issues would be a minor inconvenience. However, this list goes on and on, and has adversely affected the rating we would like to give. This unit just needs some TLC to receive a 5-star rating from our group. Our vacation was beyond amazing. However, we would not rent this particular unit again until we know all above-mentioned issues have been resolved. Truth be known, we are an easy group with simple tastes and expectations. We would like to make this an annual or bi-annual tradition ... and would love to stay here again.

Sleeps 8-10 comfortably but only accommodates 3-4

Overall not terrible but wouldn't stay here again. The property is not well maintained at all. We arrived and were greeted by knats and dead bugs in the floor. The property didn't look like it had been cleaned for our arrival. There was only 1 washcloth in the entire house and no dish towels or hand towels. The outlet in the master bath had been switched over to test mode and was missing the button to reset the outlet. So that bathroom was useless for getting ready. The toilet in the hallway upstairs was broken and constantly ran or you had to wiggle the chain on the back of the toilet. We called the day after arrival to let someone know and the guy acted like it wasn't a big deal and said he would get us wash cloths and contact maintenance. Never heard from anybody again. The coffe pot is a mini coffee pot that only makes 4 glasses at a time and there's half a set of pots and pans. The furniture is very worn out and swallows you until you reach the springs. Extremely uncomfortable. The master bed has a queen bed frame but a full size mattress. The bed has about a foot-foot in a half gap at the head board and the footboard. We had to stuff pillows in the space to keep from losing our pillows at night. The blinds that cover the sliding door are so torn up and missing pieces that it doesnt shade any of the light out of the room. There's huge missing gaps all in them. The fish market next door smells so bad that you cant enjoy the balcony half the time without vomiting. The pool table needs to be trashed as it's falling apart and very uneven. On a more positive note.... the beach was very accessible and within a few min walk. The bay was amazing and the dolphin visited daily.

Good location, horrible management...

Well-located with reasonable beach access (2 blocks). This is more of a bay property as it was right on the water. Decorated in 19th Century garage sale but very adequate. Appliances were very good, especially the ovens. Brand new gas grill on patio. Nice view from MBR, but uninspiring street views from others. Plenty of space. Could have used more towels. Good laundry facilities (BYOSoap). Fruit fly or gnat infestation when we arrived. Lots of beach toys & necessities that were helpful. No internet the entire trip and management wouldn't answer our calls, let alone help. Owners are rental business people - not owners who take pride in their unit, service or even if things worked. We had to leave voicemails or email for assistance. They own three units. Should have known for their refusal to contact us despite requests before the trip. They're very "hands-off" and inaccessible. It's very livable with good roominess and walking access to decent restaurants with a relaxing view off the back patio, deck and MBR, but we'll never stay here again due to the inhospitable management. Hope you have better luck because you're on your own...

This was a beautiful house. I loved the location.

The house was great. The only issues we had was the dog barking next door keeping the downstairs sleeper up. We had issues with the code getting into the house. It took about 45 minutes but we got it worked out and there was a box trailer parked in the no parking area which made it hard to get around. We loved the house and location and would definitely stay again! Highly recommend for a quiet family get away and supper close to St John’s Pass.

A Lil more TLC

Overall this property is great. The location was awesome. The view of the Bay was wonderful and the Herons and Pelicans we saw where many. We saw dolphins once. The biggest caveat is for those who struggle with stairs. You will be climbing them. 3 flights of stairs to bedrooms from entryway. And this particular town house needs new living room furniture. Couch Chair and love seat are shot in my opinion. Beds are average in comfort. The property itself is nice. Very functional. And 3 bathrooms make things really handy. The fish place next door smelled a little fishy at certain times of the day but otherwise was quiet. We was not bothered by any reefers or refrigerated equipment. Lots of little things needed attention like faucet tightening and basic wear and tear stuff. But nothing to inconvenience us or deter us from revisiting. Automatic coded deadbolt took a little bit to get used to but was a nice asset to have. And the seafood restaurant next door basically The Seabreeze Island Grill was delicious!!

About the host

Host profile image
Our family started welcoming guests to Redington Shores 40 years ago, and as of March 2016 we became the owners of this townhome and two other near-identical units, and are happy to extend the tradition of welcoming guests to the beach started by our grandparents. Long since gone, long-time locals may still remember the charm of the old Sinbad Motel owned by our grandparents from the time when going to the beach meant putting a family in the car, stopping at a place that felt right, and enjoying a care-free week at the water. Our guests can now experience the best of Boca Ciega Bay and the Gulf beaches with over 2600 square feet of Mediterranean-themed living space to call (vacation) home.
