Your own private Beachfront Home On the Sands of the Gulf. Can't get any closer

Beachfront Home 3 bedroom 2 bath Views overlooking the beach ! Some recent renovations completed. Nothing fancy about this beachfront home......BUT it is located on the most beautiful spot of the tropical barrier islands between Clearwater beach and St Pete Beach. Amazing beach views! Old Timers call this part of the island "The Narrows" where the sand is just wide enough for a single row of homes.

Ideal for a family vacation or for a Romantic getaway for 2. Step down from the back deck and stroll the sugar white sand beach. Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms 2 full baths, large living area and 2 decks overlooking the beach. Watch the sun melt into the Gulf of Mexico as the day ends. Relax and Enjoy our little slice of beach paradise.

Truly right on the beach. Could not be more perfect. The house is in need of updating but clean. The driveway was a bit stressful being very narrow, almost got stuck in sand and could only back out onto busy road. The town center is so cute and very close. We will definitely stay here again.

Overall, this house is in a beautiful location on the beach. The view is spectacular. However, the house itself needs some work. The driveway to park in is just sand, which two out of our three cars got stuck in and we had no heads up that the driveway was like that and the only reason the third didn’t get stuck in the sand was because it had four-wheel-drive. The railing at the top of the entryway staircase is very unstable, and even has caution tape around it. The deck on the upper floor also appears to be quite unstable. Again, beautiful home and we did enjoy our stay, The house and driveway itself just needs some work In order to be safe/accessible.

Beautiful location in a home that has quite frankly seen better days. The ravages of time to wood at a location like this, plus 2 recent hurricanes have created a nice, basic place to stay in a great location. Many maintenance, repair things need to be addressed, but quite frankly they may cost more than the home is actually worth at this point. To be clear, we enjoyed our stay. The accumulation of sand, due to storm surge, at the first ten feet of driveway make access difficult unless one is driving a 4 wheel drive (AWD) vehicle or big truck. We struggled to get in and had to be towed out when we wanted to leave.

Older property but knew that when we booked so it was exactly as advertised. Location view and enormous deck were well worth it.

We had a great time staying here. The location is perfect to enjoy time out on the patio or a walk out on the beach. It was a little outdated but not a big deal! Especially with the ability to walk right out the back door to the beach. It had everything we needed for our stay!

Perfect place to stay when you don't want a crowded beach. We loved the quiet. Very nice to walk right out of the house, and be on the beach. Felt like a private beach! Great places to eat and shop right down the road!

Great experience overall! The porch overlooks the ocean and is perfect! I was very happy to see plenty of cooking pans and pots and utensils. This is a must for a nice relaxing vacation right on the beach!

We had a great stay down in Indian shores. wife and kids had a few things to say about the house being dated, and some little things that need attention but it’s on the beach, and plenty of room for us. Simple check in. Location is what we went for and it’s in a great spot!

Our stay was great! If your looking for an affordable beach house with awesome views and close to restaurants and shops this is the place for you. We ordered take out the entire stay so we werent concerned with a super updated kitchen or other things. This house is no frills but good.

The house and property was just as described. The location was amazing and the house worked great for the three couples on vacation. It was awesome to be able to sit out on the deck in the mornings and evenings and be able to walk right out to the beach. There is areas of the house that could use a little updating but nothing that affected our stay. Would stay here again!

Everything was amazing! All the amenities included, pots and pans coffee maker etc. perfect location! The beach is right there and it’s a quiet part too! It’s close to everything. The beds were super comfortable! The check in process was so easy and the owners were great with communicating with us! The only negative thing was that we couldn’t get the cable to work but we also suck with technology. You’ve got the beach so why do you even need tv? We will be back!

The host responded quickly and was very gracious with our needs and requests. The property is right on the beach with a view of the gulf from every room. We were very comfortable in the home enjoying the patio and sound of the waves at night . The kitchen supplies were very minimal which didn’t bother us as we ordered out mostly .

My family had a wonderful time. Beautiful views and large living room. Spiral staircase was not in photos and did become an issue with our young children. We bought a baby fence to surround it to prevent them from climbing. Overall, we enjoyed this property and would return.

5 Star fun, views from the deck and rooms. Private access to the beach. Walk for miles, kayak for hours, slip into a beach chair and watch the sun go down. House is located walking distance to bike rentals, restaurants. Quick drive to many activities and area interests. Plenty of space in the house, as described. 2 stars for cozy.

If you are looking for luxury and modernized amenities this might not be the best option for you, however if your interest is a beachfront house with gorgeous views and direct access to beach then you are in luck. The balconies are a great feature to enjoy gorgeous sunsets and listen to the ocean waves. The owner is very hospitable. Overall it was a great experience!

The location is the only outstanding thing about this house, although it is NOT secluded like the photo shows & the driveway is so narrow we almost hit the wall & got stuck multiple times! The floors have been changed to cheap laminate & have water damage in many areas where you stub your toes on the curled up edges. The railing corner to the entry deck has caution tape on it. The main large deck is in pretty tough shape and is very warped and has nails popping up all over. My husband found a hammer and hammered a bunch back down. Two of the deck chairs almost dumped my parents out backwards because they were broken. The upstairs bathroom has a LIGHTLY BLURRED GLASS ENTRY DOOR...so when you are getting in the shower or using the restroom everyone can see. Now, the cleanliness.. we washed all of our sheets on the first day because we all had glitter on our sheets and cockroach legs in one of the beds. We killed 6 HUGE cockroaches and another 3 got away and one was crawling on the kitchen counters. When we pulled the couch out to chase the one cockroach, we found 3 other dead ones. Just a guess, but they could be getting in through the rotted side door that has a 1/4 inch rotted gap in the bottom. We were never informed that the little house behind the house we rented is also owned/managed by the same company so we had people walking by, sitting under our deck, using our chairs. This house needs some money put back into it as it is a diamond in the rough!

The location is great. Right on the beach and not far from everything Indian Shores has to offer. The photos are old and there are houses very close to the property. House needs some repairs. For example, the kitchen could do with significant updates to countertops and cupboards. Deck is great but needs to be sanded and refinished. Living room could use another seating space. Overall the place was a good value due to its location!
