Inside Scoop
SEA TURTLES ~
You may see areas marked off with stakes & orange netting that are sea turtle nests that have been identified and contained so they are not disturbed to give the eggs time to hatch. The majority of nesting in Florida occurs between May 1st and October 31st. About 90% of all sea turtle nesting in the United States takes place on Florida's beaches, which means it is critical that residents and visitors alike do their part to ensure that sea turtles have a safe and successful nesting season. If you are staying at the condos along the beaches, please keep your porch lights off during this time of year so as not to confuse the hatching turtles; they head towards the moonlight to find the Gulf of Mexico waters and start their life.
MANATEES ~ Sometimes you will see these gentle giants swimming along just off shore. Keep your eyes open "circle" footprints they leave when surfacing for air.
DOLPHINS ~ You'll often see these beautiful creatures playing or feeding not far from shore.
SEA OATS ~ While walking along our beaches some areas boast Sand Dunes & Sea Oats which are not for playing on. The Sea Oats are protected and combined with the dunes help to protect our beautiful beaches from erosion. They are also nesting places for many of our shore birds.
Speaking of birds, Indian Shores is the home of the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary that helps to rescue, rehabilitate injured birds & educate the public. A little south of Park Boulevard Bridge is the 1.5 acre wild bird rehabilitation center with over 100 birds on display including Pelicans, Owls, Hawks, Vultures, song birds, Shore birds, and parrots. Other features include gift shop, education center, observation tower overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, daily pelican hand-feeding, weekly screech owl demonstration, monthly yoga class on the beach, and much more. Located on Gulf Blvd. in front of mile marker #13.

The perfect vacation.
Unit #2501 in the Sand Castle II was everything we could have wanted. The condo was very clean and well stocked upon our arrival. We loved being right on the beach and close to so many great restaurants. Beth was a dream to work with, and made sure everything went perfect for us. We will definitely be back.

Spacious with lots of extras!
Host emailed coupons and checked on us during our stay, what a nice touch! The condo was stocked with all that we needed and more. Beach chairs, nice towels, new washer and dryer, kitchen everything! We loved our stay. The spiral stairs to the beach, pool and parking were very convenient. Balcony is large and the views are the best!

The PERFECT vacation!
Everything about this condo is perfect. From the updated decor to the location to the booking process. We'll definitely be back. The spiral staircase to the beach/pool is a game-changer. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stay somewhere without direct, private access again. It was perfect!

Thanks very much for the kind words. We are glad that your family chooses to come back year after year!
Great Condo
The only thing wrong was the showers needed a deep cleaning. There was mold in the grout. Only 1 kitchen towel and dish rag. Outside of that it was great.

Amazing Condo!
This is such an amazing condo. Is is updated and spacious and beautiful! It had everything we needed and then some! From beach towels and a fully stocked kitchen to beach chairs and beach toys. The location couldn’t be better. The sunset from the balcony is breathtaking. The spiral staircase to the pool and beach is so convenient. We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had at this condo!

Best Vacation Ever!
My family of 6 stayed at this condo in June, and we couldn't have asked for a better condo! The location was amazing- the wrap around balcony and spiral staircase to the beach was awesome! Roomy, comfortable, beautifully decorated and equipped with all we needed for our stay! Beth was amazing to work with and answered my MANY emails with quick and helpful responses. We are discussing dates with our sons and daughter in laws to see when we can all return in the summer of 2020.

Thanks very much for the great review. We look forward to serving your family in the near future. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Amazing Vacation!!!!!!!!!!
We have been vacationing in Florida for the last ten years and this by far has been the best condo unit that we have ever had. The spiral staircase off of the balcony to the beach and pool was so convenient. We were initially hesitant having a 2 year old and being so close but with the hurricane patio door and the looking mechanism on the gate it was very safe. As for the condo it has everything you could possibly need including beach toys for the kids.... We cooked most meals in and had the BBQ's that are provided by the building. There is lots to do in the area and good restaurants as well if you would rather eat out... again it was one of the best holidays. Thanks so much!!!!
