Peaceful Vacation with Great View of Inter Coastal Waterway.
"This is the third time we've rented condo #103 in Waterview, and each time we made sure to rent directly with Florida Sun Vacation Rentals. The complex has a great pool, and the grounds are kept up very well. The condo we rent overlooks the Inter Coastal Waterway. We enjoy peaceful afternoons watching the boats go by while sitting on the lanai. The condo itself is clean and fresh, with nice size bedrooms and two bathrooms. The furniture is clean, newer, and most important, comfortable. We especially like having laundry facilities right in the unit. Florida Sun Vacation Rentals is very easy to work and communicate with. They are responsive, both during our rental time and when questions have come up throughout the year. When making future rentals, we will definitely go through Brian at Florida Sun Vacation Rentals."

Beacy family vacation
"We enjoyed the tastefully decorated condo and the cleanliness. Great care was taken in the presentation and welcome feeling when entering. We enjoyed hours at the beach and the ease of getting there given the condo provided boogie boards, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and a sago to haul everything. It was a breeze and we were so thankful to have access to these extras. We cooked many meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The location with its view of the intercoastal waterway from our balcony and private dock made for the relaxing part of our vacation in-between daily excursions. Our first experience using VRBO was a positive one!"

Best week in Fl.
"We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The condo was perfect for our girls trip. It was clean and spacious and offered all the amenities you could possibly need and more. The view from the balcony was amazing. We saw dolphins and a manatee along with many different birds. The gulf is just across the street and the beach is clean and beautiful. There are many restaurants to choose from and water sport rentals close by. John's Pass is 15 minutes away and is so worth a visit. We had a great vacation and plan to return in the future"

Enjoy the Inland Water Way
"The Kitchen was well supplied, the stove was a problem the clock was difficult to read. The contract noted that the renter kept the thermostat 73 degrees, which we did. With warm days it went up to 73 but in colder days we had no heat - one morning the temp was 62! We called the office with no response! Other condo's we've rented had a thermostat where one could slect cool or heat!"

Hello Wally,
Thank you for your FIVE STAR review of Water View 103. In summer, the thermostats are limited to prevent intentional or inadvertent misuse. During your stay this winter it was unlocked. You just switch it to heat if you need it. Make sure to contact us if you need help. We did not receive your call. Sorry we missed you. Again, thanks for your Five Star review and we are glad you had such a great time and enjoyed this terrific unit. Brian and Cadie, Florida Sun Vacation Rentals, Palm Harbor, Florida

"Condo was represented well, thoughtful things in condo like condiments and cleaning products. Condo was on IWC way and 3 minute walk to beaches that were baby powder soft, daily changes as for June grass and Algae typical for the season. We were there for the start of Red Tide so some preliminary fish kills and coughing- we knew this could happen in this area. Easy traveling between St Pete, Clearwater, and Tampa. Several places local for shopping. It was nice that a wagon, chairs, icepacks, umbrellas were available along with beach towels. Pool and hot tub and grilling area was nice. The area is very quiet or as busy as you want it to be. Ice cream and restaurants nearby. I would use this condo again or visit this area again"

Perfect location!
"My family had a wonderful stay in this condo. The location was perfect. If you can’t be gulf front this is the next best thing with the balcony facing the intercostal water and the private access to the beach directly across the street. Beds were comfortable and we liked the alcove with the futon for extra sleep options. Everything we needed was provided in this very well stocked condo. We loved seeing dolphins daily from the balcony. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."

"The location of this condo is awesome! Close to everything to have a wonderful time... at night quiet and peaceful. Beach is right across the street just steps away. My only negative would be cleanliness. I would hire new cleaning company."

Perfect location!
"My family had a wonderful stay at this condo June 26-July 3, 2021. The location was perfect with the balcony facing the intercostal water and private beach access directly across the street from the buildings. If you can't be gulf front this is the next best thing! Condo was very well equipped. Everything we needed was already there. Beds were comfortable and we really liked the little alcove with the futon for extra sleeping options. Living room furniture could use updating but was sufficient. Only complaint is that the floors were pretty sandy when we arrived. It's the beach though so it kind of stays that way! We loved seeing dolphins daily from the balcony. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."

Fantastic view, great location
"We really enjoyed our stay at Waterview 103. The view was great and we loved the pool and hot tub. The grounds were immaculately clean. The unit was nicely furnished with very nice beach chairs and equipment. We enjoyed watching boats on the intracoastal from our living room and balcony. The beds were very comfy and it was a great location to unwind and relax for a week. We ventured to Disney one day (1 1/2 hour drive) and had a great time. We have rented in this area for 7 years and this is our favorite condo and location. We would love to be guests again in the future."

Stellar Getaway during a stressful year
"This condo provided a peaceful place to relax while watching the boats go by on the ICW. The pool was warm and inviting, and gave us a place to swim and read during the afternoons. With the beach just across the street, it was easy to take a walk there each day, and we got to see sunsets most evenings. The condo has a beach feel to it and has a kitchen well equipped for any meal we wanted to prepare. We were pleased with the gas grill on the property, and found ourselves using it frequently. All in all, we found this condo to be a wonderful place to relax and get away from the world at large. It is extremely convenient to many great restaurants, and there are several grocery stores within a convenient drive. We plan to return often in the future."

Great place to get away and relax.
"The condo itself was clean, bright and cheery. We especially enjoyed watching the boats go by during the afternoon on the ICW. The entire complex was very clean and the greenery was a pleasant change from late autumn up north. Our mornings were spent walking on the beach, which is right across the street, followed by time at the pool. The pool, by the way, is large enough to swim laps or for kids to have a good time. There are many great restaurants within a couple of miles, most of which offer outside dining. All in all, this was a great place to spend a few weeks."

I wish I was still there
"Highly recommend this condo! The entrance for the private fishing pier is just feet away. The balcony from the condo overlooks the pier and you can interact with family while you relax in the balcony and they fish. The condo has a fishing pole all set up for casting. My son used frozen shrimp for bate. We watched dolphins from the balcony!! The private entrance to the beach is priceless. The condo is equipped with everything ya need for the beach: cart, mats, chairs, beach towels, umbrella, cooler. The condo is set up quaint and adorable. We all slept well. There are plenty of towels/washcloths. Washer and dryer are right there in the condo too. We were busy with other things and didn't use the pool and hot tub, but it is centrally located, plenty of chairs, fenced in, clean. There is a grill available for use too. The town of Indian Shores is adorable, friendly people, stores and restaurant are just a short distance. I probably left something out, but this site provided everything and more. I wish I was still there!"

"Great place and location! 5 minutes away from the beach, just cross the road and you are there. Beaches are dedicated for locals and nearly private, we never had issues with space.
A huge thank you to the host for having all beach accessories in the apartment, i hate to buy umbrellas, toys for kids and then throw them away at the end of the trip. It was all there, no need to spend extra money for kids to have fun, and adults to have comfortable time.
Overall, we've stayed for more than a week in July, were pretty lucky with the weather (had to visit Tampa one day, as it was raining, and thats it), and were super happy about the stay.
Thank you Brian! Hope we come back in future!"

"This condo is described perfectly. For what we required it was perfect.
Well stocked with plenty of essential things to prepare meals, good appliances, and extremely hot water. The A/C could be a little stronger and a few more towels for use, but very comfortable. I would gladly stay here again. Great value and very relaxing."

"Very lovely accommodations. Views from the balcony were fabulous. Very clean, and enjoyed the use of the beach toys."
Perfect location
"The condo was clean and in a perfect location.Traveling to a condo that had all the beach toys, beach chairs and towels was the best; we literally only had to bring the suntan lotion! The condo is a short walk to dinner at Caddy's Pub and then dessert at Haze Ice Cream Shop - makes for a perfect evening."
Fishing, Beach, Sunsets and tons of stuff!
"We loved everything about our stay. The unit had several items for us to enjoy at the beach and the pool. Great location to walk to multiple restaurants, and cross the street to the beach for beautiful sunsets. My husband enjoyed fishing from the private dock each evening. This unit had so many resources for us to use.. Beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, and anything you can image. It was a great vacation, and would come again."
Wonderful location
"Loved everything about our stay. Weather mostly great but had a couple of pretty cool days, however, the heated outdoor salt water pool and hot tub made up for that. The unit was very comfortable and had everything. Just had to cross the street to the beautiful beach and sunsets. It was was lovely to sit on the balcony overlooking the inland waterway either during the day or night. Great restaurants, coffee and ice cream within walking distance. Hope to vacation there again."
Couldn't have been Happier!!!!!
"The Location, the View, the Property !!! This spot has it all !! The View is as advertised, I enjoyed sitting on the balcony, watching the boats on the inter-costal. The ocean beach, the sunsets all wonderful. Restaurants within walking distance. This could be a hide-away vacation or an active vacation, whatever fits the bill. I will be planning more vacation time at WaterView!!!!"
Yearly getaway 2016!
"Just back from our yearly get away before the sniw flys uo here in New England! Stayed at Water View in Indian Shores unit 103. Property is extremely comfortable, very tastefully decorated soft beach colrs. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need for those days that you cook in. But should you decide to eat out unit is within walking distance of several local pub style restaurants (one about a block away - and several within a mile or so). This is the 4th trip made down to this area, I have to say this unit has the best overall options. On the channel side breath taking sunrises to enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony, with additional views of dolphins swimming through ( 6 out of the 8 mornings we had the pleasure). Beach is directly across the street, unit has beach chairs,towels and toys should you want to use them. This is the first unit we have rented that actual offered these items, it was great not having to go out and purchase towels so we could enjoy our swim at the beach. Unit was spotlessly clean and is well maintained. Grocery stores, sightseeing and points of interest are all within just a short drive away or jump on the bus that runs all day from John's Pass to Clearwater. The complex offers a pool with hot tub with plenty of lounge chairs and table with chairs. The unit manager checked in with us shortly after arriving to make sure we were all set or needed any thing, also after we returned home to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Management staff is exceptional. Already planning next year's trip, defiantly found the place to keep coming back too! (Only took us 4 different trips this place is a keeper!!) "
Had everything we wanted!
"We loved everything about our stay and can't wait to return. The property had everything on our wish list, water view, easy beach access, hot tub and washer & dryer in the unit. The direct intracoastal view is beautiful. There was always something to see, but at the same time it was peaceful. At night the moon shining on the water was stunning. Just a short walk across the street and we were on the beach watching the sunset. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was available. There are restaurants within walking distance, but driving in the area is easy and stress free. The property manager was easily accessible and flexible. We plan to be back and would recommend to couples or families."
Wonderful Time!
"We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. The beach is literally the best we have ever been at with calm waves and sugar white sand. The home was stocked with beach toys, umbrellas and chairs which made it easy. We also fished from the private dock and saw manatees and dolphins just about every day. We ate at the Pub restaurant and the Salt Rock Grill within walking distance and the Lighthouse donuts shop down the street had wonderful pastries. My favorite activity was just sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by. We will definitely be back soon."
Best vacation
"We stayed in this Condo in September. The condo is in a great spot, with private access to pristine beaches. The unit is in great condition with spotless cleanliness and comfort. We were able to find almost everything we needed in the condo, from beach chairs to umbrellas, beach toys. etc. The manager thought about everything you would need to make your vacation an unforgettable one. I cannot talk enough about the beauty of the view you can enjoy from the balcony of the condo. We will be back."
