Snowbird Haven

"This beachfront condo is ideal if beautiful gulf views are a priority. Spacious, well-appointed accommodations with roomy furnished balcony, easy access to pool & hot tub, & no-hassle reserved parking. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed for meal prep but, even better, it’s close to some very good restaurants. We will certainly miss the long walks on the beach & magnificent sunsets. Already looking forward to next time."

GREAT PLACE WITH A PERFECT VIEW!

"There could not possibly be a cleaner rental in Indian Shores as Peach on the Beach. Or one that is better equipped. Susan is not kidding when she says all you need to bring is a toothbrush; EVERYTHING is provided, in a spotless environment. The kitchen is well-stocked from pots, pans, dishes, utensils, pitchers, frying pan, etc, etc, etc! There are beach towels, loads of bath towels, literally everything one could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable and keeping the blinds drawn during the day kept the condo reasonably cool during the hot afternoon. We have been vacationing in FL since 1999 and this place is at the top for places to stay. Susan has provided books of things to do, places to go, sites to see. If you're looking for a great place with an awesome view (we saw manatees and dolphins from our balcony), this is the place! Highly recommended. "

Love Peach on the Beach

"This is our 2nd stay in Susan and Vic's beautiful condo and we definintely hope we will be able to return. The location could not be better, close to the elevator, 5th floor overlooking the Gulf. We never tire of sitting on the balcony listening to the waves and watching pelicans and dolphins feeding. It is a quiet area with several restaurants close by and the beach is very wide with sugar sand. There is also a very nice pool area and an outdoor shower. The condo itself is lovely with spacious rooms and everything you will need including books, cable tv, a very well stocked kitchen with many small appliances as well as a washer and dryer. Just bring your clothes, food and drinks and prepare to enjoy a relaxing vacation!"

THE BEST!!! Oct 03, 2021

"In this day and age of “click click click” and the transaction is complete, it is very refreshing and exceedingly wonderful to receive personal customer service from Susan and Vic (a couple who sincerely cares about the continued loveliness of their condo and the enjoyable experience and happiness of the guests who rent it for vacation!!!) This was my 3rd visit to Peach on the Beach and I will definitely return in the future. This condo is exceptionally comfortable and is beautifully decorated with great attention to every detail and amenity. Amazing beach views and gorgeous direct Gulf views morning noon and night from the balcony. Excellent location to restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, area attractions, etc. No parking concerns with your own garage. CLEAN is an understatement…Susan takes great pride in providing the best accommodations possible and personally addresses the condition of her fabulous property! Thanks again Susan and Vic for sharing your magnificent condo with us…it was a pleasure visiting with you again. If you want to enjoy THE BEST…this is it!!!"

Penthouse Paradise

"This is truly is a "Peach on the Beach"!!! From the moment you meet Susan, you know you're in great hands. The care and pride of ownership shows in every detail of this gem of a unit. Our penthouse ocean front view, made for a spectacular start and end to each day. Look forward to staying here again! Thank you Susan and Vic"

Family-friendly condo - right at the beach

"It is a wonderful and VERY clean condo with a great view over the Gulf and sunset. The property was also very clean and organized. We definitely recommend this apartment for a relaxing vacation at the beach. Thank you Susan and Victor."

SUPERB!!!

"Just does not do this condo 506 justice, Location, the condo itself, views direct onto the most relaxing of beaches & Susan & Victor Boettle’s Concentration on every detail for your stay is Just SUPERB & Indian Shores area is Just Magical If you are looking for a beachfront, easy access, relaxing vacation condo for either a couple or a family of 4 then this is it look no further We should not really be saying this as we might have trouble booking with them next year if it gets too popular!!!!! Thank You Susan & Victor for another great relaxing vacation"

Relaxing Getaway!

"We found the perfect spot for a 2 week getaway to relax and enjoy the Florida weather! This condo is beautifully kept and you can tell the owners are very proud of this lovely property. Susan & Vic were attentive to us both before and during our visit. I doubt that you will find a more spotless condo in this area and the views from this balcony are spectacular! The building is quiet.The wifi worked well. The condo is conveniently located near nice restaurants and positioned within walking distance to a great coffee house to start our morning with a walk on the beach.The garage made it easy to store a bicycle and provided extra protection for our car. We look forward to returning to this 'Peach" next year to refresh & recharge from the Northern Midwest winter! Dan & Jeanine LaVille"

Look No Further from the Murdoch's

"My wife and I have been looking for a place to stay on the gulf coast for our Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training visit and at last we found it. The "Peach on the Beach" is the perfect spot for us. The balcony looks out over the gulf with a view to die for. The condo itself is very well appointed with everything you will need for your stay. Susan met us upon arrival and instantly made us feel welcome. We even have a private/personal garage to park our car. Inside the garage was everything you need for the beach from chairs to floats. The outdoor private pool was excellent with an outdoor cooking grille. Overall the condo is exceptional with all the comforts of home while on vacation. Thank you Susan & Vic. We have found our home away from home in Florida. .We are looking forward to staying at the "Peach" many many more times.in the future."

Spectacular Gulf View!

"My husband and I love our yearly visits to Florida and have been staying in Susan and Vic's Beach Palms condo since 2003. The unit is beautifully decorated and always spotless. It is apparent that Susan and Vic put a great deal of effort into keeping their condo clean, well-maintained, and up-to-date with modern conveniences -- including a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, cable TV, DVD player, and WiFi access (allowing for a seamless and fast internet connection). The direct gulf view is spectacular -- what a treat it is eating meals on our private balcony and taking daily walks on the beach! The king-size bed in the master bedroom is extremely comfortable, and we love being lulled to sleep at night by the sound of the waves on the beach. The waves on our sound machine here at home are just no comparison to the real thing. Can't wait to go back!"

Beautiful place!

"Our family enjoyed our stay in this condo very much. The owner met us and showed us around upon arrival, so we immediately knew how to get to the pool, beach, etc. she also gave us a tour of the condo, so we knew where the dishes and things were. The condo was probably the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. We have two small children, so we almost felt bad at subjecting such a nice place to their messes! There is an almost constant breeze on the balcony and we ate most of our meals out there. There were also plenty of sand toys and floats so we did not have to purchase our own. The area has so much to do! We really enjoyed John's Pass which is a short drive south. They have dolphin watching and sunset cruises. The Salt Rock Grill is also within walking distance an has excellent food. The beach is clean and beautiful. We captured so many outstanding photos of the beach at sunset. Our kids enjoyed the soft sand and the great seashells, and the ocean waves were so calm that they could easily swim without getting knocked down. We loved staying here and would come back again in the future for sure."

Absolute slice of heaven!

"We stayed at this property over the Xmas holidays and had a fabulous experience! Susan, the owner, met us upon our arrival and showed us everything we needed to know. So nice to have a friendly face greet you after a long travel day!! This property has everything you would need; all the comforts of your own home but with a stunning view of the beach from your patio!! You walk out of the elevator and you have a 24 mile stretch of beach waiting for you; it doesn't get better than that!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again soon!!"

Wonderful view! Comfortable & well-equipped unit!

"

We've stayed in three different units at Beach Palms and this one was by far the best! The view was fabulous. The beds were comfortable. It was completely outfitted with everything we could possibly have needed from linens to kitchen items to beach toys. Very nice and responsive owners. It was a wonderful experience overall and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Indian Shores!

Very Clean Beach Rental

"

Overall this was a great rental. The view of the Gulf of Mexico was excellent. The condo was immaculately clean and mostly updated. It's not your top of the line rental, but we were not looking for that. It was equipped with almost everything we needed for our stay. Susan was extremely friendly and the check in went very smoothly and quickly. (even though my husband got lost on the way and we were late- Susan was very kind about us arriving 30 minutes later than she expected)

The beach and pool area where very clean. We spent most of our time with our two young sons in the pool and some at the beach. It's a great place for a family.

We did get out and explore some places. The aquarium in Clearwater was just ok. We thought it was overpriced a bit, but Susan saved us a coupon so we saved a fair amount of money. (THANK YOU!)

We took our boys to the alligator exhibit in John Pass Village- that was great for them!

We also ate at Keegan's Seafood Restaurant. We LOVED IT!

A few things we thought that could be better were

1. a few more disposable kitchen supplies (as listed above so renters don't have to bother purchasing items they can't bring home)

2.The twin beds in the second bedroom seemed a little old and could probably benefit from an upgrade. My husband slept in that room with my 4 year old son and he said it wasn't very comfy. The master bed, however, was very comfortable.

3. Lastly, the carpet could probably use replacing. There were rugs and runners all over the apartment to help keep the carpet from wearing. While I appreciate and understand what they are trying to do, I ended up having to move some out of the way because I tripped on them a few time.

A suggestion I have for guests coming: You might consider bringing some saran wrap/foil, plastic baggies, olive oil for cooking and other items that you regularly use in the kitchen as there were very little to none provided. It would have been nice to have some of those things included. In a place we previously rented for a vacation most of that was provided so we didn't have to go out and buy it just for a week. I would have easily paid an extra fee to have (paper towel, olive oil, saran wrap, foil, and baggies) or other items provided for us in the kitchen.

Overall, we had a great time. I would recommend this rental to anyone with a young family. The space was ample enough for our family of 4. We would definitely consider renting this property again!

Your search is over!

"

If the size of this condo fits your needs, your search is over! I have been vacationing on the Gulf Coast for many years and this rental is by far the nicest, cleanest, most well appointed "peach" on the beach that I have ever had the pleasure of calling "home" for a week. Susan was absolutely precious and made sure that we were taken care of after two days of a travelling nightmare with Allegiant. Thank you Susan, your hospitality was impressive and will not be forgotten. This unit is directly on the beautiful coast, conveniently located to restaurants and shopping, and the perfect oasis for your vacation. I LOVED the garage space for the car and the wonderful assortment of beach toys and necessities that were available for use with the condo. You literally don't need to worry about a thing--it's all here. Thank you Vic and Susan we certainly hope to return soon.

Very well appointed penthouse condo

"This was our 3rd time at this condo, That's says it all, great position, spacious, well fitted out and maintained. An absolute dream of a Holiday Condo. Look no Further you will not find better."

A perfect place for the perfect time of the year

"

What a great vacation, what a fantastic condo - I really don't know how to start this review...

Should I tell you about the cleanest place at the beach (from Clearwater Beach to St.Pete Beach!), the fantastic view from the balcony, the perfect equipt condo, the charming Hosts, the perfect value, the comfort of a private garage...

Just a few words as a summary: We'll be back next year and we count the months.

Ein paar Stichworte auf Deutsch: Wir machen seit fast 20 Jahren Urlaub in diesem Gebiet, das Peach on the Beach ist bei weitem das sauberste und bestausgestatteste Condo in diesem Preissegment. Nicht günstig, aber seinen Preis wert. Sehr freundliche Eigentümer, die sich um ihren Besitz auch kümmern und Sorge dafür tragen, dass es so gepflegt bleibt wie es ist. Nächstes Jahr wieder!

Home away from home

"We stayed at "Peach on the Beach" for a week.The place is immaculate and very tastefully set up. Susan is super-organized and the smallest of our needs were met. The unit is exceptionally clean and has an incredible view. Everything - (linen, cutlery, paper towels, dishes, boxes, wrapping sheets etc) is provided and you really need not worry about anything. Plus, it is literally 3-4mins drive to the nearest grocery store and pharmacy. We made full use of the beach accessories which were available for our use in the garage. The heated pool is clean and well maintained. While we were there, there was a company doing their routine tests on the water quality and such. Very impressive. The check-out process was as smooth as the check-in.In less than two weeks, i even got my deposit back. Everything was professionally handled and it made our stay very memorable. Believe me - you will never go wrong with this selection. Thanks a ton, Susan and Vic."

Truly the "Peach on the Beach"

"My wife and I have been coming to the Gulf Coast of Florida for 5 years now attending spring training games.We were staying at different condos until last year when we found Susan and Vic's "Peach on the Beach". We did it again this year because this is the best. The condo is immaculate, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Everything you will ever need is there. The view from the balcony of the Gulf is to die for. Susan met us when we arrived and after only staying here last year, we felt like we were old friends. Her pride for her property is evident. We will be coming back again and again. Thank you Susan and Vic."

Great Condo!

"This is one of the nicest condos on the Florida Gulf Coast that we have ever experienced. Susan was a great host and her pride in her condo was very evident. The unit is ultra clean, well furnished, extremely comfortable and very well organized, and made the entire stay very pleasurable. Great location, great beach and the use of a garage for the car was an added bonus!"

The Best Yet!

"My husband and I have been coming to Florida's Gulf Coast for the past five years, each time staying in a condo at different locations. By far, Vic and Susan's Peach on the Beach was the BEST! When we arrived, we were greeted by Susan, whose bubbly personality and obvious pride in her condo made us feel very welcome. The condo was immaculate, spacious, well equipped, and very comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee each day on the balcony overlooking a wide, beautiful Gulf beach. Cabanas were available for a reasonable fee which made sitting on the beach a true delight. The comfortable beds and pillows plus the sounds of the surf made for a wonderful night's sleep. We had never stayed anywhere with a garage, so having a designated place to park was a real plus. We also really appreciated having lots of brochures and suggestions for dining, shopping and things to do and see. The Peach on the Beach was so convenient to everything! Our two week stay ended much to quickly, but it was our best yet!"

Beautful setting and immaculate condo

"It is clear from the moment you meet Susan that she cares about your experience. There is such pride in ownership and this is obvious in the well equipped and immaculate condo. The setting is beautiful and the complex and grounds well maintained. There is such care in ensuring that you have everything you need for a wonderful vacation and the condo is so clean and cared for that you truly want to care for it as if it is your own home. We not only rebooked for next year but I feel that I have also gained a new friend in Susan. My husband and I cannot wait until next year! Ray and Colleen"

Very clean

"The views from this condo were magnificent. Everything we needed was provided. Susan was so nice to deal with, very friendly! The garage parking was really not needed but came with the unit (and the charge for it). Condo overall very nice, clean and modern. Thank you Susan."

Excellent!

"Agree with all the superlatives most reviewers have used to describe this property. The garage parking seems underrated or not mentioned by most. It was great to not have to get into a car which had baked in the hot Florida sun for hours. The available shopping carts by the garage elevator were very helpful when returning from a trip to Publix and ABC! We'll be back for sure!"

Back to our home from home

"We returned again this year (as always!) to our home from home at the Peach on the Beach. I cannot rate this condo highly enough, we should have a 6 star rating. Always a joy to rent from Vic and Susan, we just call them when we are on the causeway from Tampa and they are there at the condo to meet us with their smiling faces. "

Excellent as always!!!

"Our 5th year and everything is perfect! Great place and location, Cant wait to go back!"

A great place!

"Our family of 4 just finished a great week at Peach on the Beach! Susan was wonderful to work with! The condo was clean and gave us everything we needed. We loved being right on the beach and the view from the condo was amazing! The kids are already asking when we can go back!"

Great time

"This was our first experience renting a condo or anything like that in Florida hard to express how wonderful of experience we had we needed to buy or bring nothing other than our swimsuits. The owners Susan and Vic were awesome. We will definitely be doing this again at the same place . Thanks Vic and Sue for everything you did ."

Awesome Family Vacation

"Where do I start? We just returned from the "Peach on the Beach" condo and we had a fantastic time! We have never rented a condo for a week long stay, but we will definitely do so again! Susan made the process very simple and smooth. She greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a tour of the place and answered any questions we had. We really appreciate the personal touch. The condo is amazing and exactly as described. Everything you could want or need is here, and it is was VERY clean. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. No problem catching some Z's here! The view is incredible and you can watch the sunset from the balcony or take a short walk down to the beach and watch from there. The ocean is very close to the pool, no long hikes across hot sand. The beach is clean and sand is powder-soft. The condo is in a great location, close to many good restaurants, we did not have a bad meal anyplace we went. We had Clearwater to the north, where we went to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. And St. Petersburg is to the south where we took a boat ride to Shell key for the day. We also fished one day off a dock at a local park, very close to the condo and visited the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary which is within walking distance. Thank you Susan and Vic for opening your lovely condo to us. We had a wonderful time and will be back!"

Susan and Vic's Peach on the Beach

"This was a wonderful rental experience in every way. From the personal attention upon meeting us at arrival to the lightning fast return of the security deposit, Susan and Victor Boettle made my family's vacation truly one to remember. The Peach on the Beach is ultra clean and comfortably spacious, with a large kitchen for those who like to cook in or prepare food for visitors or to use at the grills by the pool. The view from the balcony is special and affords a perfect view of the incredible nightly sunset. My wife and I brought our 3 year old and 4 month old granddaughters with us on the trip and we very much appreciated Susan's efforts to accommodate the children with a 'pack in play" and a special small portable bed and sleep area for the 3 year old. Thank you again for a special visit."

BEAUTIFUL!!!

"This is a fantastic place to vacation. This was our first time to this area and we LOVED it!! The condo is clean and beautiful. The view from the balcony is breath taking especially at sunset. There are many restaurants, stores and activities close by. Susan is an absolute sweetheart and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be renting from her and Victor again!"

Very nice!!

"Great condo! Very clean! Wonderful views! Susan is great to rent from. They have so much you may want or need. No need to bring much. We would stay here again!!!"

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL

"My family and I had the pleasure of staying at The Peach on the Beach and I must say the name is perfect for this place. The view from the balcony was FANTASTIC, the condo was nicely furnished, comfortable, fully equipped and spotless. The location was ideal, lots of great restaurants to choose from and plenty of things to do. Susan was a joy from the first time I spoke with her, she contacted me several times prior to our arrival and was there to welcome us when we arrived, our deposit was refunded promptly. LOVED IT!!! Thanks Susan & Vic."

Owner pride shows in this Peach

"After being referred by friends who had previously stayed in this condo, we were happy with all facets of our week-long stay there. It was nice to have the owner meet us on arrival to show us the condo and its features. The kitchen is well equipped. The living room is large and furnished to allow plenty of room for the group to spread out. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Having washer/dryer in the condo allowed us to travel light. This unit is one of few with a garage and it also includes all the beach equipment and toys for the kids and adults to use and enjoy. The location is another benefit, midway between Clearwater Beach and St Pete Beach, with easy travel to restaurants and shopping. The secure WIFI provided made it worry-free to get directions and information while we were there. The west-facing 5th floor deck allowed some great sunset viewing. There is a nice pool in the complex and the beach is right there, just outside the back gate, and it is not a crowded beach. Good owners, good accommodations, good location. You will enjoy it!!"

Paradise on the Beach

"My family and I just returned home from this AMAZING condo. This is the second time we have stayed in this condo,the first time was in 2005. It was our 7 year-old daughter's first time at the Ocean and she LOVED it! There are plenty of things to do for people of all ages within a short drive of the condo.Susan has a big book she has put together of local restaurants and attractions which was very helpful.We enjoyed Clearwater Marine Aquarium(where you can see Winter and Hope from Dolphin Tale 1&2).We also enjoyed Honeymoon Island,which is a great place to look for shells and view wildlife. The Bird Sanctuary right next door to the condo is also wonderful place to visit.While all these places are a nice bonus the best attraction is the beautiful beach .We spent most of our time out on the beach, shell hunting in the morning, sunbathing in the afternoon by the pool, watching the beautiful sunset for the balcony and crab hunting on the beach at night. We are so thankful and blessed we have gotten to know Susan and Victor, they are definitely a ray of sunshine and make the world a more beautiful place. Amazing people to work with and make your trip effortless. You will not find a better place to stay,We can't wait to come back! Blessings!"

A Peachy Paradise

"This condo is the peach on the beach but Susan & Victor were the sunshine that nurtured this piece of paradise. Look no further! It lived up to every expectation & more. The view was spectacular & especially the sunsets. We spent most mornings poolside & afternoons under a cabana. No need to bring bulky beach towels because several are provided. The recliner was helpful when we wanted to kick up at day's end. It was an added plus to have a secure designated garage for our mini van. The April weather was a little cool early mornings but warmed up nicely. We do recommend Tripp's Diner on Park Blvd North about 10 min over the bridge. Very reasonable country breakfast & a variety of menu items for lunch & dinner. Gluten free items, too! SLYCE Pizza is minutes from the condo in Indian Rocks. Best homemade pizza we've had in a long while. Gluten free crust was thin & crispy. Candy Kitchen by SLYCE has delicious homemade ice cream. Susan & Victor we are very grateful for everything you do to make the condo feel like home sweet home. Our 45th Anniversary week was perfection. Hope we meet again. Thank you! Rick & Susan, Spfld IL"

Fun in the sun

"Spacious and clean condo, gorgeous ocean view and gracious owners. We stayed for 2 weeks and wish it could have been longer."

Exactly what we were looking for

"After several times vacationing in the clearwater area, we finally found the "Peach on the Beach". The owners Susan and Vic made our visit to the Phillies spring training one that we will truly remember. Susan met us on arrival and was very personal and helped us get settled. The condo was just what we were looking for. Everything you would need is there. It was extra clean and comfortable. It has a large kitchen fully stocked with everything you would need. The balcony view is one to die for. The evening sunsets were incredible.The pool with outdoor grilles were right there for barbecue. Our 2 weeks there will definitely be a vacation to remember. Thank you again for a relaxing vacation. We WILL be returning."

Love this condo and the owners are great people!

"I cannot possibly find the words to express how blessed our vacation was due to the beautiful condo we were so fortunate to rent with the kindest owners and the amazing Weather we were richly blessed with. The start of our vacation was less than perfect with a 24 hour delay due to flooding in our area. We arrived late into the night , Susan, the owner, arranged her schedule to make sure she welcomed us and made us feel right at home. I have NEVER had an OWNER meet us at the properties we have rented in the past. I was pleasantly surprise she cared enough to greet and meet her guest even in the late hour. What a wonderful display of kindness to others. The condo is equipped with basically everything you could possibly need. Susan takes a lot of time to prepare her condo and you can tell!! The condo is CLEAN and can i just say Clean like "your own home" CLEAN!! My daughter and I are allergic to mold and tobacco smoke so renting condos can be a challenge and have often left us with trips to the ER this condo didn't even bring ONE sneeze and that my friends is proof of a smoke, dust and mold free home!! Also there are beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and fishing poles all provided to make your vacation fun and stress free. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. The view of the Gulf is spectacular and the location is convenient to so many activities. Susan has even left a day to day suggested agenda we loved that SUSAN it was so helpful and informative. Thank you Susan for sharing your beautiful condo with our family and we hope to return some day soon. The Holcombe Family Arab, AL"

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!

"I cannot possibly find the words to express how wonderful our vacation was due to the beautiful condo we were so fortunate to rent with the sweetest owners. The start of our vacation was less than perfect with a 5 hour flight delay and lots of frustrations. Although we were late, Susan, the owner, arranged her schedule to make sure she welcomed us and made us feel right at home. And what a home! The condo is lovingly equipped with basically everything you could possibly need. Truly unbelievable! From coolers to crock pots to nail polish remover. On top of all the things you might not have even thought about yourself, there are beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and fishing poles all provided to make your vacation fun and stress free. Oh..and not to forget...the washer and dryer so there is no need to over pack. The rooms are so comfortable and beautifully decorated. The view of the Gulf is spectacular and the location is convenient to so many activities. We really enjoyed swimming in the Gulf and then moving over to the pool as we grilled up some dinner. (Oh - and there are boogie boards too) And let me tell you all.....this place is soooooooooo CLEAN!!!!! I only wish our house was this clean!!! We cannot wait to go back!!!!! Best place ever!!!!!"

Simply the best!

"We have been coming to the Gulf Coast for the last 20 years and rented a number of condos in the Indian Shores area up till 6 years ago when we found this truly amazing one and would never think of renting anywhere else now. We visit now once or twice a year and even if we go elsewhere in the world this one apartment is always the one we compare with. It is the most well equipped and cleanest unit and has the comfiest bed in the master bedroom (both of us are back sufferers but not when we are here) Victor and Susan just make everything so easy(even down to the kettle and teabags being out ready for us Brits!) Thank you both so much, you have become real friends. Helen and Brian. Leicestershire. England."

Perfect every time!

"We look so forward to our week-long getaways at Indian Shores! This was our third year at the Beach Palms topview unit. The owners treat us like family, and we feel right at home here. The condo is always clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and full of everything we'd possibly need. Our two children (5 & 8) are always excited to check out the beach toys in the garage! The direct, Gulf-view from the balcony is spectacular! Perfect for enjoying the sounds of the waves & the birds over coffee at dawn, and relaxing with a cocktail at sunset. We are spoiled by this unit, and wouldn't settle for anything less! Thank you Vic & Susan!"

Fantastic

"Very clean and comfortable!! The condo is stocked with everything you need and the owners are wonderful. We will stay again!!"

Absolutely Amazing!

"I spend an enormous amount of time looking for the perfect vacation spot for my wife and I with our two eleven year old children. I was astounded at the personal service we received from the moment of our very first contact until we arrived back home a week later. Our experience with Vic and Susan Boettle was fantastic. Their property was spotlessly clean, well maintained and simply beautiful. They have given attention to every detail - plenty of large bath linens, beach towels, custom suggestions of activities based on things they learned about us from phone conversations, coupons they had saved for us, a spotless garage that was well stocked with beach toys, umbrellas, beach tent, chairs and two wagons to get everything to the water's edge and much more. Susan contacted us one week before our trip to ask if we had questions or needed recommendations for activities or dining. She met us at the condo when we arrived and gave us a personal tour of the property and helped us get settled. Wow! That is PERSONAL service. Their attention to detail and guest comfort is unmatched in any place we've stayed before. We look forward to returning to this spot many times in the future. In fact, we've already started looking at dates for next summer. Our children were so impressed, they each wrote a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Boettle and left it for them on the kitchen counter. They wanted to thank them for such a wonderful vacation. We certainly recommend this spot for anyone with children - A safe, clean, fun place to spend the week."

Exactly the beach view we were looking for!!

"There is a certain percentage of joy that comes from the hunt to find that great vacation spot. I probably spend too much time looking. Our ideal vacation (family of 4 with two older teen daughters) is to seek out that perfect beach and then don't move for a week. Mission accomplished. I searched a LOT of places and found this particular unit kept coming up in my filtered searches, and indeed it met every expectation. This was our first visit to the the Indian Shores area and we will, without question, be heading back. Communication with Susan was easy with no surprises. The business side of the transaction is clear, on time and as others have commented, very personalized. These are qualities I greatly appreciate. The unit is immaculate and is accurately depicted by the pictures online. Again, no surprises. Susan met as at the unit when we arrived, gave us a quick personal tour about the unit (where stuff is, how stuff works, what's expected from us, that sort of thing). Then off we went. The daughters headed to the beach, my wife unpacked and I hit the grocery stores. Those stores are all close (Winn Dixie and Walmart are no more than 5-10 min away). My early mornings (just before sunrise) on that 5th floor balcony are some of my best memories. We had a setting full moon in the mornings that week, so WOW! The deck is a decent size and has 4 chairs on it (that's not clear in the pics). It was easy enough to get to the beach. The elevator is right outside this unit's door and there is security in the form of key access to the pool/elevator/floors, depending on where you enter. This was probably our best beach vacation to date (the beach and water are PERFECT). Thank you, Susan and Vic for making that possible. An ex Waukeganite. :)"

Perfect!

"This condo was exactly what we were looking for! We are a family of 4, two boys ages 16 and 19. This condo is very well taken care of, is very clean and has everything you need. The owners met us at the property and explained everything about the condo plus gave us some great tips for the area! The whole complex and beach area is very nice and taken care of. As for the area, we ate at a different restaurant every night and were impressed every time! If shopping is your thing, there was plenty of that at Johns Pass. Thank you Susan for a great stay! We loved it!"

May, 2015 stay

"The condo is superb and so is the view. The pictures and description are just as it states. Very clean and comfortable. Susan was very helpful and accommodating. Every vacation has it's snags, as did mine, but Susan was always easy to reach and help when necessary. I would definitely stay here again and hope to in the near future. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a vacation, this is it!."

Beautiful Beachfront Condo!

"We were married 5 yrs. ago on this very beach and stayed at this complex. We found this condo for our 5 yr. anniversary and loved it! Very clean, awesome views and very quiet. We are hoping to return w/in the next year or so and plan on staying in this very condo. Sue & Vic were very accommodating & friendly! Sue knew it was our anniversary and got me a nice bracelet for the occasion. So thoughtful! Thanks for the wonderful stay in your condo!"

Paradise

"Floating in the pool, walking on the beach looking at the beautiful view from your balcony. It feels like another day in paradise. They have plenty of lounge chairs at the pool. There is no need to get up at 6:30 to put out your towel! We have been staying at Beach Cottages for over 10 years now and we anxious every year for our family vacation. This year we rented Unit #2403 and it worked out great. Very clean and the beds were comfortable. Bill, the owner was very helpful and accommodating and checked in to see if there was anything we needed to make our stay even more pleasurable. We will be back again next year...can't wait."

Superb - look no further this is the one to choose

"This is our 2nd time in this condo and the fact that we returned should say a lot considering how many hundreds of condos are for rent in the area Susan & Vic meet you upon your arrival and nothing is too much trouble for them The Condo is extremely comfortable and very well equipped and cleanliness is exceptional I can hardly recollect a having better nights sleeping on holiday the beds are just so comfortable Tha Balcony on the front is just superb and is more than spacious for 4+ adults What can I say Superb, friendly, every facility you could want, car garaged, Just look no further this is the condo to stay in @ Indian Shores Kelvin & Julie Essex Uk"

Super Clean Condo!

"This beautiful condo is one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in! My family and I spent our Spring Break there this year and totally fell in love with the beaches, community, and nice people. Susan and Vic (the owners) were so kind to help us make the most of our visit by telling us some of the best restaurants and attractions. We usually stay in the Destin area, but our kids wanted to visit Winter and Hope and the Clearwater Marine Hospital this year. This part of Florida is unsurpassed in beauty! I am very picky about where we stay because I like a clean condo. I chose this unit because of the reviews that emphasized the cleanliness. We really appreciated Susan and Vic's diligence in keeping their place neat and well-kept! The views from the balcony were gorgeous and the unit is centrally located to Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Pete. We will definitely return to this area again, and when we do, my number one choice is to stay here again!!! Thank you, Susan and Vic, for your welcoming hospitality!"

Fantastic Gulf View and Beautiful Condo

"In February we spent our 4th year enjoying the beautiful Gulf view from the 5th (top) floor of Peach On Beach. We loved the balcony each morning drinking our coffee and the sunsets were spectacular enjoying a glass of wine. We can't say enough about Susan and Vic. They are by far the most friendly and personable owners. They offer suggestions for activities, dining and of course shopping, along with special little personal touches. The condo is immaculate and has everything you'd need available for you. They truly make your stay your home away. We can't wait to go back again sometime. Jim and Darlene from Wisconsin."

Home away from home

"This was a very clean, roomy, and quiet condo. The owner is very nice and helpful. The condo is stocked with everything you may need. The view is beautiful and the sunsets were awesome. My husband and I loved to set on our balcony with our morning coffee. We love walking the beach, it was clean and easy to walk on. Many things to do in the area. Great local restaurants. We hope to go back soon."

Beautiful Condo and View of the Gulf

"As many of the other reviews have said, this condo was extremely clean and very nicely decorated. The owners have it well stocked with everything you would need. The view from the master bedroom and the balcony was absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and drinking my coffee each morning. (Even the balcony is pretty.) I liked that it had a separate door that went out on the balcony from the bedroom. My sons and I enjoyed our walks on the beach, riding rental bikes on the beach, and going out to eat at local restaurants. We enjoyed also going to John's Pass (restaurants and shops), which is several miles away. Susan, one of the owners was very friendly and contacted me several times before the trip. They met us at the condo when we arrived. She even had a cute little gift for me. The owners are very detailed in their instructions of the care of the condo and want to keep everything nice for each guest who comes to stay with them. We hope to be back again!"

Relaxing week on the beach

"This condo was a great! Vic and Susan contacted us after our plane landed and met us at the condo. Everything one could possibily need was available. The photos are true representations of the furnishings--impeccably decorated and immaculately clean. WIFI was excellent. The Gulf view alone was worth the price of admission! The area is a great vacation spot for relaxation,for activities or sightseeing, and for dining out. We are looking forward to our next stay."

Love the view and sound of the ocean!

"This was our second trip to Florida staying at the condo. It is a home away from home with all the amenities as described in the listing. The condo is in a quiet area and within an hour traveling north or south we enjoyed some beautiful parks on this trip. During our stay the washer broke and with a call to Susan to explain what it was NOT doing, they contacted a repairman and had it fixed the very next day. Beware wives, if your husband is like mine, it was hard to get him off the new chaise... in the livingroom! Thanks Susan and Vic for another enjoyable week on the coast!"

C.C.C. = Cleanest Condo on the Coast

"Spent Thanksgiving week at the condo. And a big Thanks to Susan and Vic. The condo was immaculate, from the new living room furniture to the comfortable bed. It even has a garage to park your car. Great WiFi and HD TV. Sue did a wonderful job with the decor. The place was spotless. Located in a quiet section, close to many great restaurants. We loved the food at Villa Gallace, a short drive up the coast. Although we never had a chance to use the heated pool, the area looked clean and well maintained. And the #1 feature is the view. The sunset was spectacular, an unobstructed view over the white sandy beach from the balcony on the 5th, (top) floor, enjoying a good glass of wine. It doesn't get any better than that."

Very happy renters!

"This is paradise. The condo is immaculate. From up to date furnishings to a well equipped kitchen, this condo has it all. We have rented from the owners several times and they are wonderful people-their mission is to be sure their guests are comfortable and have a memorable stay. All pictures and descriptions in this listing are accurate. We highly recommend this condo to"

Wouldn't Stay Anywhere Else!

"We love the view! Clean. Quiet. Great proximity to restaurants and shopping. Wonderful walks on the beach. Love to sit on the balcony enjoying the waves and ocean breeze. Looking forward to our next visit this October."

Excellent place to stay!

"In looking for a place on the beach, close to amenities, yet not in the middle of heavy tourist areas - we found this condo. IT WAS PERFECT! The condo was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space. Kitchen had everything we could possible need; washer/dryer in unit was such a blessing. (Gas/charcoal grills outside too!) 2nd bedroom with 2 twin beds was great for our kids. The view was amazing and eating breakfast every morning on our patio was so relaxing. The location of this condo is great - the beach was not crowded at all, but yet if we wanted the "touristy" aspect, it was a quick drive up to Clearwater Beach. My kids loved being able to go from the beach to the pool (outdoor shower provided in between) Garage had toys, chairs and a canopy for the beach! Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay!"

Review by Local Registered Nurse

"Clean, Bright and inviting!!! A very comfortable, relaxing, updated and well furnished condo. As a routine visitor to the Indian Rocks / Indian Shores area. This condo was the cleanest I've seen in years. I would recommend it to anyone who is a cleanliness affection-ado like I am. The gulf front views are lovely and the garage area came with your own private access, closed garage door, equipped with beach gear!!!! Nothing sticky, grimy or smelly here, just a joyful place to enjoy a quiet stay at the beach. I thank the owners Susan and Victor for their concern in making their beach get-away such a wonderful vacation spot. Their attention to detail is amazing. Plenty of towels and a washer and dryer! The king size bed was quite comfortable and my husband had no complaints with his bad back sleeping on this bed! Wow! The kitchen is updated with modern appliances and dishwasher. The Pool area was equipped with plenty of lounge chairs and two gas grills. The Beach area had private rental beach lounge chairs (2)with umbrella $125 for the week or less depending on the # of days required. Absolutely a great vacation! No DVD player however, but there is Wifi for your personal computer or i-pad."

Clean, well maintained top floor gulf front condo

"This condo is just like the pictures posted on the web. It has all the amenities, lots of towels and pillows, however, off white carpet in the living room and bedrooms? Really. Made us feel so uncomfortable for fear of staining carpets. The toilet area off the master bedroom needs a Real door, not a Saloon door which provided no privacy. Second bedroom beds need new comfortable mattresses. We loved the top floor and the direct ocean view and the condo complex and beach area are very well maintained. The garage had lots of beach toys and chairs, however, some of the chairs were so rusted and broken and need to be replaced. We had a lovely vacation especially enjoying the many wonderful restaurants and visiting with family and friends."

Clean, great location, friendly owners

"This condo is FANTABULOUS! It is on the top floor and has a spectacular view. You can see down the beach for miles in both directions. You can catch some very stunning sunsets on the balcony. The owners are very easy to work with and are very helpful. They keep the place extremely clean. They provide almost everything that you would need like dishes and towels and even a little sewing kit. The garage is loaded with stuff for the beach like chairs, a canopy, a cooler, floaties and lots of other beach goodies. They have a book full of information about restaurants, groceries stores and things to do in the area. It's loaded with lots of helpful info. The complex is very well kept. The pool and the beach were never too crowded. We always found room at the beach and chairs at the pool. The location is perfect. You not only have a beach right outside but many restaurants within walking distance. Go North and you get to Clearwater Beach and Go South and you get to St Pete's. The location is literally in the middle of everything. So many fun things to do and yummy places to eat in both directions and won't take you long to get there either. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. I already want to come back!"

Single Mom with Teenagers

"This condo was the perfect location for a newly single mom to vacation with two teenage kids. I was able to sit on the balcony and watch the children frolic on the beach and felt very secure in the complex. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. There were so many little extras to make it feel like home away from home. We made lots of wonderful memories during our stay. I definitely plan to return"

Wonderful Gulf Front Condo!

"We just got home from our wonderful beach vacation! My husband and our three kids had a great time! I especially appreciated the cleanliness of the condo as well as the well equipped kitchen. We had beautiful weather for the week and enjoyed getting close to a dolphin on the sandbar during the afternoons! We really loved having the wagon in the garage to cart all of our beach stuff each day! We've stayed at Beach Palms before, but this condo is by far the best! My husband and I especially loved walking the beach to the Indian Shores Coffee house each morning. Their muffins are excellent! Chris, who rents the cabanas, allowed us to just rent an umbrella for the week. It was great having it set up and ready to go in our spot each morning. I have to say, the beds were extremely comfortable and I slept like a baby all week long! The condo is super quiet and you don't hear your neighbors at all. We had a great time and are already looking forward to returning next summer. This condo is a great place to stay in an excellent location. We did all of the "Clearwater" fun things and enjoyed The Pub, Candy Kitchen, John's Pass, Shell Key, and even caught Barracudas while deep see fishing! You can't go wrong with this condo! We look forward to returning in the future to create more great family memories!"

The best beach and best condo ever!

"Quite an amazing find. I spent a week here, most of it either on the beach - barely steps outside to the water's edge - or on the 5th floor balcony of this condo - looking at the beach and the Gulf or the fabulous sunsets! Very quiet area of Indian Shores, with great restaurants an easy drive: The Pub and Salt Rock Grill. Breakfast at JR's. Bicycle rentals also a few blocks away (to the north). The owners provide beach umbrella, chairs, and several kinds of floats; for me, I'm hooked on the cabanas on the beach, rentable by the day or week (6 days $115). Just take a seat and sometime during the day the rental guy will come around. Walks on the beach wonderful - seemingly limitless in both directions. Hard sand easy on your good walking shoes. A short ways north on the beach, a marked off place for fishermen and women. Great swimming pool on the premises - large enough to enjoy and surrounded by lounge chairs. Condo Very clean and everything supplied - even aluminum foil and beach water bottles! Vic and Susan thought of everything! Very comfortable in every way. 2nd bedroom and bath separated from master for more privacy. I'll definitely be back."

March Break 2014 at the Palms

"Our family of four adults spent a week in March at the Beach Palms and enjoyed the beachfront condo and its lovely pool. Our weather was not ideal but the comfort and cleanliness of the condo as well as the excellent amenities made the time relaxing. The owner takes great care in the upkeep and appearance of the unit and appreciates renters who will do the same. Written instructions are liberally provided throughout the unit and the owner has assembled a binder with all the local activities and attractions to make your stay as active as you desire. This stretch of beach is pristine and the view from our balcony kept us entranced. In spite of the busy March Break week, our unit was quiet and peaceful. If you are willing to follow the owners' instructions on preserving the appearance of the condo and enjoy beach life you will love this place."

Just like home

"The owners of this condo put great thought and care into making this rental property just like home. We were so comfortable here. Everything we needed for our comfort was available. The condo was larger than I expected and very clean. The view was amazing and the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the nice pool and the building was well maintained. It was close to activities, but far enough away so the crowd wasn't overwhelming I definitely want to return in the future!"

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

"... Except, that's not true at all. :) My husband and I were dreaming of a sunny, warm, relaxing week of Christmas vacation. We fled Ohio's cold and we were greeted with beautiful sunshine and a gorgeous beachfront condo! Upon our decision to go on vacation, we found this wonderful listing and knew this was our place. After emailing the Boettles, they responded with a personal phone call to get details about our expectations for our stay. Susan was very personal and full of great information about the condo. After her call, we were even more excited. After our flight, we called Susan and she met us to show us around the condo. We were blown away! There was a garage to park our rental vehicle, beach equipment (chairs, wagon, fishing pools, etc.), a guide to tourist attractions, handwritten notes around the condo, and wireless connection for our technology! The beach is just BEAUTIFUL and that is where we spent our days. Our nights were spent on the balcony reading and listening to the waves. We loved waking up to a beautiful beach view in the master bedroom. We couldn't have asked for a better view of the scenery! We were a little nervous about staying in such a CLEAN and well kept condo, but we decided that was one of the things we loved most about it. We felt right at home. :) If we visit Indian Shores, this would be our number one choice to stay and we have already told all of our friends and family about our amazing time in this cozy little beach condo. If you do visit, and you love coffee just as much as us, make sure you visit the Indian Shores Coffee Company. The lattes were exceptional! Also, we visited Oakhurst United Methodist church for a Contemporary Christmas Eve Church service. This was a great church to visit during our stay. We also recommend visiting it. Thanks to Susan and Vic for an amazing and personal stay! We will always remember our vacation in Indian Shores. Love, the Braumillers"

Beautiful Condo, Excellent Owners

"We had an amazing time at the Beach Palms unit provided by Vic and Susan. This was our first experience renting a vacation rental and I believe our future rentals will have a tough act to follow. This condo is exceptionally clean and maintained. You will not find a speck of dust or dirt in this spacious unit. The owners were so friendly and accommodating the entire time. They were gracious enough to check us into the unit later than planned due to flight problems. They met us upon arrival and gave us the tour of the unit as well as tips on restaurants, shopping and things to do. The location of the condo is exceptional as well with amazing, unobstructed views of the gulf. The pool area was also well maintained, where the kids enjoyed the heated pool while it was sprinkling outside as my husband grilled us lunch. It was great to have so much provided in the unit, such as beach towels and tons of toys and beach chairs in the garage. The unit has a great layout for our family of four. We especially enjoyed the new living room furniture. My only complaint was that our schedule did not allow us to stay longer. We were just getting really comfortable and then it was time to pack up and head back to the cold north. We highly recommend this unit and will definitely plan to stay here again if our travels lead us back to the Tampa area. Thanks so much Vic and Susan for a wonderful stay! The Myers Family"

The Best!

"This condo was a wonderful place to spend our summer vacation. Susan went above and beyond to make sure everything in the condo was spotless and comfortable. We arrived early and they were very accommodating getting us in the condo early. Can't wait to go back to the same condo next year. The Boyce's"

Home away from home.

"Without question, this condo is the cleanest rental we have ever had, and we've had many. This is the top floor, (5 floors), spacious two bedroom, two bathroom unit that sits right on the beach with fantastic unobstructed direct views overlooking the family friendly beach and gulf. When Susan said, "just bring your swimsuit" she wasn't exaggerating. Susan and Vic have thought of everything you might possibly want or need for your stay, from sewing kit to beach towels and everything in between. There was nothing missing, in fact there was much more than we needed. Truly a home away from home."

"It's a Wonderful Life"

"Three years ago my sisters and I were off to embark on a new exciting adventure and decided to stay at Susan and Vic’s condo. I gave my husband a gift that day, it was a plaque that read, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. It is now three years later and as in the past, the day we checked into the Condo the owner greeted us with her beautiful smile. Still in her professional manner, answered all questions. As expected the condo was extremely clean. They are detail oriented concerning their renters. I have two examples; they supplied binoculars as well as a sewing kit. We used the binoculars daily. I broke my delicate strap on my blouse and a safety pin would not have sufficed. I simply sewed it. The first night I awakened to a bright light. I took myself out of bed to shut it off. As I was approaching the light there it was, magnificent, hanging from the heavens, shooting light on the ocean surface. My grand finale presented itself right there in our living room as the full moon. My granddaughter asked me once if God was an artist, I’m so glad I answered yes. The first full day we awoke to a crisp morning. The white sand yet untouched by the joggers and walkers. As we were planning our day, surrounding us were sounds of birds chirping, the ocean waves consoling our emotions. As we sipped hot coffee, the three of us perched on the lanai could not believe a year passed since we were sitting at this condo, pelicans now flying past and the breeze of the ocean on our faces. Our days at the condo’s private beach were amazing. My one sister, who had tired legs from all the shopping activity at St. John’s Pass, just informed us she could not move another inch, then jumped up, grabbed my camera and ran past everyone to get a picture of three manatees. The new found restaurant, Seabreeze was on the Bay. After the waitress took our order, a commotion arose on deck. I yelled to our waitress: “we’ll be back” and to my surprise she was running right beside me. What we saw next was a complete surprise. He was gliding in the bay near the pier with his little black head above the waters, our first sea otter spotting. The Hawaii like pool surroundings, the beautiful sunsets seen from the lanai; there is so much, so little space to explain. This I can say from me and my sisters, the joy we felt as we tarried at their condo is set in our memories as our “It’s a Wonderful Life”."

The best condominion we have stayed in by far

"This condo is a credit to the owners Susan & Vic, it is very clean, extremely well appointed and the position is to die for. There is not any suggestion we could make to improve it, it is just a paradise both as a condo and position If you are looking for an exceptional condo in this area look no further BOOK IT, Julie & Kelvin United Kingdom"

Paradise

"This was our second stay in a property owned by Vic and Susan. We happened upon them by accident and are so pleased that we did. They are very particular about their properties and it shows. Everything is very clean and neat, with everything in the condo that you would need. It is in a great location right on the beach and close to many fun things to do. The view from the balcony is second to none and the sunsets WOW! The Boettles are so helpful and informative, from the phone calls before you arrive, meeting you personally on arrival, to the letter after you get home. They were available to us if we had any concerns during our stay. The personal touches mean so much and were greatly appreciated. We would certainly rent from Vic and Susan again when staying in Indian Shores and will certainly recommend them to our family and friends."

Too nice for rental property!

"This condo was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Hard to believe it was a rental unit. Owners strive to keep it this way.The entire complex was exceptional as well. Nice pool and jacuzzi area. Close to many activities. Owners personally meet you upon arrival to show you around. Had personal cell phone number for any questions from day of choosing this property. The location and views were second to none. If value, location and cleanliness are important this is the place."

CB & CB

"Look no further! This is the place to stay!!! Very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with dishes, pots, pans towels, etc!!! The owners are there to greet you and show you through the condo with all kinds of great information and details about the area and the condo. We had no problems, but if we had....I'm sure they would have been there immediately to fix it!!! They are sooo very welcoming. The view is perfect and the beach was recently refurbished. It's quiet and gorgeous. There is a door in the master bedroom to the deck. The weather was so perfect we slept with the door open every night so we could sleep to the sound of the ocean. We plan on returning!!!"

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

"We have just returned home to cold Toronto after spending 10 wonderful days at this condo. To say this condo is clean & well maintained is an understatement. It is absolutely spotless & immaculately maintained by the owners Vic & Susan. My husband & I really appreciated the personal touch of being met by Susan on arrival & given a quick tour of the condo & property. It was very helpful to meet the owner (who is lovely!) & have all our questions answered. The condo is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and more! The location is spectacular, directly on the beach, overlooking the gulf. It was wonderful having our morning coffee on the balcony, watching the activity on the beach & our glass of wine in the evening, watching the spectacular sunsets. Our daily walks along the beach were awesome too! The king size bed is very comfortable & it was wonderful falling asleep & waking up to the sound of the waves. We had a very enjoyable, comfortable stay. The amenities in the condo are excellent & stores, restaurants, golf courses etc. are just a short drive away. That reminds me, having a garage was an added bonus, as we were able to leave our golf clubs in the car our whole vacation, with no worries. All in all, an excellent vacation in a wonderful condo!"

A Great Place to Stay, Right on the Beach

"How nice it was to be met by the owners, Susan and Victor when we arrived late on Saturday afternoon for a one week stay. We appreciate dealing directly with the property owners whenever possible. We parked in the single car garage and took the secured back elevator up to the fifth floor. Susan guided us through the property and answered our first-time guest questions. Susan made sure we had contact information for them should we need anything. She also gave us a call near the end of our stay just to check-in and see how things were going. The entire property was very clean and well maintained. The decor is very nice. It's obvious that Susan puts significant effort into decorating the unit and making sure the guests are comfortable. Since it was the two of us two, we didn't use the guest bedroom. The dining area has a nice large glass topped table with the kitchen to the right. The well stocked kitchen had everything you'd need. The free washer and dryer are located behind doors off the kitchen/dining area and worked well. A spacious living area with an all glass west-end provided a beautiful view of the gulf, with a sliding glass door to a patio with a table and four chairs. A perfect place to watch the beach and all that goes on there, along with beautiful sunsets. The living room had a nice sized flat-screen HD television (approx. 32") and the cable channel selection was good. I was able to get my daily dose of ESPN and Fox News. The comfortable sofa, love seat and two chairs were in very good condition. In the master bedroom, the king size bed was very comfortable. A large dresser and chest provided plenty of room for storage. A flat-screen television is in the bedroom for your viewing pleasure. The master bath was spacious with a tub/shower along with a separate walk-in shower. Towels of all sorts were plentiful. There is an secured outdoor pool. The well maintained pool has plenty of chairs and tables. From the secured pool area another gate will get you to the beach in just a few steps. There are grocery stores within a five minute drive and there are many restaurants and coffee shops in both directions. You can walk to some, but most you'll likely drive to. The wireless cable-based broadband internet connection was very solid with no issues. This was a great place to spend a week and we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks to Susan and Victor for providing such a comfortable place for our escape."

A Great Stay

"Our family of four (mom, dad and two teenagers) really enjoyed our stay at Beach Palms. The condo was very clean and organized. The view is spectacular, and the condo was well-stocked. Susan and Vic are wonderful to work with as well. Susan greeted us upon arrival which is a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this condo and look forward to returning."

Wonderful condo experience!

"This was a very nice condo at a reasonable rate. If you've read the reviews or the owner's description, you already know it is well maintained and nicely decorated, and that the owners (who are their own agents) have integrity and work hard to make your stay great. What wasn't obvious to me until we arrived is that this is one of the more premium units in the building. About half the units face southwest and therefore have no view of the gorgeous sunsets here, but this one faces northwest and you get the full show. Also, may units farther back on the property are not as close to the beach, whereas this unit is close the beachfront and therefore has a much nicer view and more beach ambiance. So even just in terms of its location within the building, this unit stands out as one of the best."

Beautiful place!

"Our family enjoyed our stay in this condo very much. The owner met us and showed us around upon arrival, so we immediately knew how to get to the pool, beach, etc. she also gave us a tour of the condo, so we knew where the dishes and things were. The condo was probably the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. We have two small children, so we almost felt bad at subjecting such a nice place to their messes! There is an almost constant breeze on the balcony and we ate most of our meals out there. There were also plenty of sand toys and floats so we did not have to purchase our own. The area has so much to do! We really enjoyed John's Pass which is a short drive south. They have dolphin watching and sunset cruises. The Salt Rock Grill is also within walking distance an has excellent food. The beach is clean and beautiful. We captured so many outstanding photos of the beach at sunset. Our kids enjoyed the soft sand and the great seashells, and the ocean waves were so calm that they could easily swim without getting knocked down. We loved staying here and would come back again in the future for sure."

Our Home Away from home...

"This was our second time staying at the Beach Palms Top Floor Condo and can only say, it gets better each time we go. We were greeted by Susan, who we just love, she makes you feel welcome, goes over everything with you and makes sure you feel at home. The condo has everything you need, from a kitchen with everything you could imagine to beach towels and toys. Our first week's stay was interesting; we arrived just in time for Tropical Storm Debby. Being on the top floor we got to see all the rain and wind and the effects it had on the beach, without feeling a thing. Then the beautiful weather came in, we enjoyed our time spent on the beach (walking looking for shells or lounging in the sun), in the pool and visiting some of our favorite restaurants for dinner …The Pub, Crabby Bill’s, On the Rocks and Jake’s Sandwich Shop up the road; Joto’s Pizza over the bridge and Bubba Gump’s in John’s Pass. We took the Dolphin Cruise out of John’s Pass and took the Shuttle to Shell Key Island in St. Pete. Whatever you choose to do during your stay just know that this condo will make you feel like you are at your “Home Away from home”. We can’t wait to come back… Vic and Susan are truly the BEST!!!"

Pure PERFECTION in every way!

"My family and I had such a wonderful experience at the condo this past week that I cannot simply write a review; rather, I feel moved to write a personal letter to the lovely owners of this condo, Vic and Susan: Dear Vic and Susan, My family and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing us with such an amazingly wonderful experience. The condo and everything mentioned online is exactly what we received... and more! The entire experience, from check-in, to the condo itself, to check-out, was even BETTER than stated! When we arrived at the condo, Susan, it was so nice to see your smiling face! Even prior to arriving at the condo we had several pleasant conversations via telephone regarding the condo and the area; you were very helpful and informative about the amenities at the condo, the surrounding area, and you even took some time to get to know me, even before our trip began! The condo was beautiful – it is kept meticulously clean and it has all the comforts of home, including plenty of towels, comfy beds and a fully stocked kitchen. The personal parking garage space even held beach toys, chairs and an umbrella which was fun for the kids and convenient for my husband and I! The patio was spacious and the view was SPECTACULAR!!! It felt as though we could reach out and touch the beautiful ocean which lay in front of us. We were so excited to wake to the sound of the ocean and to look out and see the dolphins and the manatees swim by each morning. The beach was beautiful as well; the sand is super soft and white and the water is so warm – we were able to swim for hours at a time. I could barely get Lauren and Adam out of the pool on some days! The pool and the pool area are kept extremely clean and the ambiance at the pool quickly reminded me of our visits to Hawaii – the pool area is so pretty and tropical! The area was quiet (peaceful) and we made the acquaintance of some nice families who were staying at the Beach Palms as well. There is plenty to do in the local area and we had so much fun walking around John’s Pass just down the road at Madeira Beach. We felt so at home in your lovely condo and we made some wonderful memories together as a family which we will cherish always. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future! Thank you for being the special people that you are, it has made all the difference. With grateful hearts, Ray, Donna, Matthew, Adam and Lauren"

We loved this condo at Indian Shores!

"We LOVED our stay at Susan and Vic’s Condo! The view from the balcony was breathtaking! We so enjoyed eating our breakfast on the balcony and watching the beach come alive with activity. We spent every evening watching the sunset and enjoying the cool ocean breeze while sipping on a cold refreshing margarita! We spent our mornings until early afternoon at the beach then wandered over to the pool where we cooled off and enjoyed a swim and some conversation with other guests. Then out to dinner and back to the beach to watch the sunset. This was followed by another dip in the pool and then we retired to the balcony for our evening nightcap. What a great vacation! The bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable. I slept like a baby! The condo is very clean and everything is in good repair. This condo is truly a dream come true. I would recommend it for families, couples, a girl’s week at the beach, you name it, and it will be great for that occasion!"

"Somewhere over the Rainbow"

"If my sisters and I were to sing a song explaining Condo 506 at Beach Palms it would be “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. The fact is we found our pot of gold. The first gold nugget was waking up to the crystal blue ocean, just waiting to put our footprints in the sand. The condo was extremely clean, making it unique. It was well maintained and the owners communicate in a professional manner. The atmosphere was refreshing. From the beautiful lanai, we saw dolphins playing in the ocean. The pelicans flew by the lanai about 5:30 am. Then there was, as I call him, the “Nanny State Bird”. We named him Charlie. He was so direct in his movements, following the fishermen around, just waiting for breakfast, lunch and of course dinner, it was just funny. Also from the lanai, we saw approximately 30 birds lining up in some sort of a pecking order. It was amazing to watch. We witnessed a wedding on the beach. Actually, we were overlooking it from the 5th floor. The pool was a splash of fun. The zest of the ambiance atmosphere of the pool’s surroundings reminded me of Maui, Hawaii. I think it was the Palm Trees and the way they are planted. It might have been the flower bushes, or maybe the constant sea breeze. The condo served us as a hub when shopping. We would shop at St. John’s Pass; stop off at the condo to refresh and then continue to shop at Clearwater and any other beach shop on the way. I now can appreciate the phrase “shop to your drop”. While in the ocean I saw people pointing, facing and staring in one direction. Yes, there it was not one but two manatees. I exited the ocean immediately. There is a bird sanctuary located two doors down from us. Naturally we visited it, however, we also ran to it for help. A beautiful white bird was caught in a fishing line. My sister ran towards the sanctuary to get help and I quickly followed. My other sister stayed behind to pray and out from behind her came a man in his street clothes running into the ocean with a knife to free the bird. As our new found hero for the day exited the ocean, the bird now resting on the soft white sandy beach, followed the hero’s movements with his eyes as to say: “I live to play another day”. The white bird eventually flew off. The best nugget is saved for last, the amazing sunsets, looked on from the lanai. As the day was done, my sisters and I talk about all the gold nuggets, and then put them away, only to be brought out later as wonderful memories at Condo 506,"

Fantastic Condo

"This was the second year we enjoyed one of Susan’s and Vic’s wonderful Condos in Indian Shores, Florida. The top unit was beautifully decorated and spotless. It had everything you would need in the fully equipped kitchen, plus cable TV, DVD and Wi-Fi. The spectacular Gulf view from our balcony was breathtaking where we enjoyed sunsets each night. Also, there is nothing greater than sleeping at night with the sound of the waves gently rolling onto the beach. Thank you, Susan and Vic, for making our Home away from home very pleasurable. Jim & Darlene Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin"

What a fantastic destination!

"What an exciting find on the internet! From my first phone conversation with Susan and then upon our arrival and meeting the owners, we knew we had found the right place for our long overdue vacation. What a view at any time of day! This condo is just like the pictures posted on the web. It has all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay along the gulf. The condo, grounds, pool area, and beach are all well kept. We enjoyed grilling out on the patio with the gas grills available. The added bonus of the use of the garage is nice. You didn't have to worry about leaving your car set outside overnight. The location is excellent for day trips. Traveling south don't forget to stop at Johns Pass Boardwalk. There are quaint shops, restaurants, and it is only a short distance from the condo. Continuing on south during our stay we were delighted when we had to travel across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Busch Gardens was another great day of fun. Look into buying tickets online and take advantage of the all-day meal pass if available--was a great bargain. Traveling north of the condo we visited Tarpon Springs. A community established by the Greeks where sponge diving is their livelihood. Many shops and greek restaurants to visit. Enjoy the beach too! We loved to go shell hunting, finding the best place just south of our beach down by where they have an area roped off around the rocks! One week was not long enough! Too much to see and do in that short of time. Thanks Susan and Victor for a great home away from home! J & J"

Paradise Found!!..........Very Nice Owners!!

"My wife and I enjoyed our anniversary week so much in this wonderful Condo. Everything is Top Notch and as described by owners Susan and Victor Boettle. The Condo is exceptionally well cared for and the view from the balcony is breathtaking! Pelicans, Egrets, Seagulls and other shorebirds were a special joy to watch from our balcony while enjoying direct view sunsets each night. The local restaurants are very good and the owner's suggestions such as the Salt Rock Grill and the Sunday Brunch at the Doubletree Mangos restaurant nearby are a must. We must try Vicks new favorite restaurant "Snappers" on our next visit. No crowds here on the beach, very unspoiled beachfront just a few steps away from the Condo. The pool and lounging area are immaculate and groundskeepers are very attentive to keeping it that way. Stay in this unit and explore the area. Busch Gardens and hunting sharks teeth at Venice Beach are nice day trips from this starting point. Don't forget to try the homemade ice cream at the Candy Kitchen and a locally caught Black Grouper sandwich at Dockside Dave's! Oh Yeah,,,,,,,,did I forget to mention the private garage for your car each night? That was such a nice plus for us!. Thanks, Susan and Victor for sharing your beachfront home with us for glorious weeks stay in "Paradise Found!" We hope to return again and again."

Perfect condo!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at this unit in Indian Shores! The owners were very organized & professional, welcoming us upon arrival and familiarizing us with the building layout and unit features. The condo was just as described-- clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated. The garage was stocked with everything we needed for a day at the beach, and our young children loved filling up the Little Tykes wagon (provided) & pulling it out to the beach or pool. We loved the balcony view, especially the gorgeous sunsets. This unit had all the essentials (and more) in the kitchen, plenty of blankets & towels, plus tons of little extras throughout (like the First Aid kit when we needed a Bandaid). We appreciated the attention to detail, and the pride Susan & Victor take in their condo. We hope to make this our annual home-away-from-home! P.S. We also want to mention the WiFi connection in the building works great, so bring your laptop!"

Look no further.....This is the place for you

"We just returned from a wonderful weeks vacation at the Beach Palms property in beautiful Indian Shores. We rented an exceptional unit there. It was priced right and beautifully detailed with all the amenities of home. Vic and Susan (the owners) left no stone unturned in making this condo a home away from home. The beach views and sunsets from our terrace were breathtaking. Especially nice was the use of our own private garage that came fully loaded with many beach toys and accessories. There are plenty of excellent restaurants, stores and places of interest nearby. The beach trolly stops almost in front of the building and takes you up and down Gulf Blvd. we took it to Johns Pass Village one rainy day to have lunch and browse in the little shops there. We had a great time. This is not a paid commercial, we just feel so good about this condo and the owners. You will not be disappointed."

Disney isn't the only wonderful place on earth!

"What can we say but WOW! We were married in February and decided to split our honeymoon in two and get two trips at different times of the year. We couldn’t have picked a better place than the Top View Unit at the Beach Palms for the second part of our Honeymoon. This place was amazing, the condo was exactly as pictured, very clean and welcoming, and the owners are such wonderful people…Susan met us on our arrival and showed us around, then we spent some time chatting with her about the area and we met Vic on our departure. It felt like we had known them forever, they are such warm and friendly people and the condo is the same way. The condo had everything you could need and even beach toys! There was so much to do in the area, we had a fun filled week and still had time to enjoy breakfast on the balcony while watching the pelicans fly by, relax on the beach and enjoy the FABULOUS sunsets at night! We spent a day down the road at John’s Pass, dinners at various local restaurants, spent time at the local shops and with all the major parks only a short drive away…Busch Gardens and the Tampa Zoo about 30-45 minutes and the Disney Parks, Sea World and Discovery Cove only a little over an hour away. We really enjoyed Discovery Cove and our Swim with the Dolphins and would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a place to relax and have fun! Looking forward to coming back next year and many years after!! Thank You Again, Vic and Susan, for sharing such a Great place with us!!"

Wonderful Condo

"What can I say......My sister and I rented this condo for one week in May. The moment we entered the condo, we knew we had chosen the perfect place. It is very spacious and extremely clean with a wonderful view of the ocean. The pictures do not do it justice. We loved the overall beach theme throughout and it had a great light and airy atmosphere. The decorations were fun yet tasteful. We enjoyed breakfast each morning from our comfortable private balcony while the pelicans and egrets soared by. The two bedrooms and bathrooms are on opposite sides of the condo so there is privacy for both parties. Besides the wonderful accommodations, Susan and Vic greeted us upon arrival and answered any questions we had. There many great restaurants minutes away. The pool area was very inviting with a well-maintained pool and grounds. Don't hesitate to rent this condo, you will not be disappointed!"

Girls Get Away!

"My two sisters and I enjoyed a week at the condo and had a very nice time. The owners were very helpful and there was a lot of information at the condo about things to do and places to visit in the area. The condo had everything you could want or need to have a pleasant stay. The location was perfect, near shopping and points of interest. The beach was not crowded and clean. We enjoyed walking on the beach at sunset and sitting on the balcony. Thank you, Susan and Vic, for sharing your condo with us."

Well equipped condo with glorious sunsets

"We have rented this condo twice now and hope to return many more times. The location is great, on a beautiful clean beach very close to a bird sanctuary. Wonderful to watch the birds that have been released returning at sunset to roost at the sanctuary. The condo itself is very well equipped and comfortable with the personal attention of the local owners. Lots of attention to detail and all the comforts of home are provided. The area is quiet but convenient for restaurants and services. I even found yoga classes in the town hall and on the beach. We will happily recommend this condo to our friends."

Outstanding Rental Experience

"Vic and Susan are lovely people to deal with and to be met upon arrival is really a nice touch. The condo appears exactly as pictured and the views are fantastic. Everything is very clean and the decorating is exactly what I expect when I rent a Florida condo-Florida 'colors' and beach accessories! The restaurant listings and area attractions were helpful as well. I would most definitely recommend this condo to family and friends and very much want to return here. Rent from Vic and Susan and you will not want to go home-we loved it!"

Fantastic

"Thank you, Susan & Vic, for sharing your beautiful condo with us. From the minute we walked through the door we knew that this was the perfect place for us. We were shocked at how large it was. The kitchen had everything you could ever want. The furnishings in the family room were great. The master bed was the BEST we had ever slept on in a rental of any kind. The rain shower head felt wonderful after a day on the beach. But of course, the view from the balcony could not be beaten. Morning, noon or night we just loved sitting there looking out at the Gulf. Can't wait to come back!"

Outstanding Vacation

"We recently had the opportunity to spend a week in this beautiful condo. It far exceeded our expectations and Vic and Susan were kind folks to work with. My mother in law traveled with my husband and I and there was plenty of room for everyone. The furnishings and accessories in the condo were wonderful. We especially took notice of the attention given to detail and we appreciated the beautiful furnishings. The view from the patio was exceptional, day and night. The location was exactly what we had wanted. It was close to shopping, great restaurants, and fine entertainment. There were condos in the area during that time of year that was less expensive however the condo was worth every extra dollar. I would highly recommend this unit to adults who want to stay in a beautiful place with an awesome view. Thank you, Vic and Susan, for sharing your lovely home."

Florida Vacation Rental

"We had a great time. Vic and Susan have everything that you want or need."

Beach Palms - Top Floor Direct-View Gulf Penthouse

"This was our first time to this condo. It was everything the owners, Susan & Vic, said it was (as per the pix). Very nice to have breakfast, lunch, and supper overlooking the clean beach and Gulf. The building is quiet. No problems falling asleep to the sound of breaking waves on the beach !. Shopping for food or other is just 3 miles away. There is a nice restaurant just 1 mile down Gulf Blvd, with live music & dancing (Wine Cellar) We had a little problem with the stove-top, but Sue and Vic addressed it immediately, & next morning they had a new one installed. That’s service! We were quite lucky, as we had 14 beautiful sunny days (70 – 88F) and as for sunsets, fantastic.(also, if you awake in the middle-of-the-night, there is a beautiful moon to greet you!) We definitely recommended it to our friends, family, and acquaintances"

Our Favorite Getaway

"We have been staying in this condo now for 3 years and have been there twice each year! We wouldn't do this if we didn't love it so much! The condo is spotless - you can eat off the floor! The kitchen is well stocked with every pot, pan, utensil you ever need. There is a washer and dryer so we don't have to pack too much since we can do laundry while we are there. There are beach towels and chairs and floats for the beach. A basket in the master bath filled with toiletries if you forgot something. There are even hats for the beach in the closet if your forgot yours. Vic and Sue make sure you don't have to worry about a thing while you vacation on the beach. It is a very quiet beach - great for reading and soaking up the rays while floating in the Gulf of Mexico. I have even taken friends with me to vacation here and they have yet to stop talking about it. The very best thing about it though is having coffee on the balcony in the morning while watching the dolphins swim by and then having a cup again in the evening while watching the sun go down. It just doesn't get any better than this!"

Better than we even hoped for

"Thank you for the use of your great condo. We really We thought your website was too good to be true. We have happily found that it doesn't do your lovely condo(s) justice. We truly enjoyed our vacation and we have great memories of our fifth anniversary. Thanks for a great place to stay. We hope to return many, many times. Earl and Judy"

Florida Getaway

"Always a great time at beach palms..the unit it very clean and there has never been any issues ever..been coming down for the last four years..great place to come and relax.."

Our second visit

"Two weeks is really too short! We enjoyed our second vacation here as much as the first one. Hopefully, we will come back. It certainly is one of the best places we have been. Bob and Mary"

Wonderful and Beautiful Condo with amazing view

"Clean and stocked with anything you need for a vacation. Garage with items for use at pool or on the beach, The owners are like your friend when you meet Susan upon checking in. The feeling of belonging in a new place instead of feeling out of place,,,What a wonderful place to stay on vacation."

Wonderful view! Comfortable & well-equipped unit!

"We've stayed in three different units at Beach Palms and this one was by far the best! The view was fabulous. The beds were comfortable. It was completely outfitted with everything we could possibly have needed from linens to kitchen items to beach toys. Very nice and responsive owners. It was a wonderful experience overall and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Indian Shores!"

Very Clean Beach Rental

"Overall this was a great rental. The view of the Gulf of Mexico was excellent. The condo was immaculately clean and mostly updated. It's not your top of the line rental, but we were not looking for that. It was equipped with almost everything we needed for our stay. Susan was extremely friendly and the check in went very smoothly and quickly. (even though my husband got lost on the way and we were late- Susan was very kind about us arriving 30 minutes later than she expected) The beach and pool area where very clean. We spent most of our time with our two young sons in the pool and some at the beach. It's a great place for a family. We did get out and explore some places. The aquarium in Clearwater was just ok. We thought it was overpriced a bit, but Susan saved us a coupon so we saved a fair amount of money. (THANK YOU!) We took our boys to the alligator exhibit in John Pass Village- that was great for them! We also ate at Keegan's Seafood Restaurant. We LOVED IT! A few things we thought that could be better were 1. a few more disposable kitchen supplies (as listed above so renters don't have to bother purchasing items they can't bring home) 2.The twin beds in the second bedroom seemed a little old and could probably benefit from an upgrade. My husband slept in that room with my 4 year old son and he said it wasn't very comfy. The master bed, however, was very comfortable. 3. Lastly, the carpet could probably use replacing. There were rugs and runners all over the apartment to help keep the carpet from wearing. While I appreciate and understand what they are trying to do, I ended up having to move some out of the way because I tripped on them a few time. A suggestion I have for guests coming: You might consider bringing some saran wrap/foil, plastic baggies, olive oil for cooking and other items that you regularly use in the kitchen as there were very little to none provided. It would have been nice to have some of those things included. In a place we previously rented for a vacation most of that was provided so we didn't have to go out and buy it just for a week. I would have easily paid an extra fee to have (paper towel, olive oil, saran wrap, foil, and baggies) or other items provided for us in the kitchen. Overall, we had a great time. I would recommend this rental to anyone with a young family. The space was ample enough for our family of 4. We would definitely consider renting this property again! "

Your search is over!

"If the size of this condo fits your needs, your search is over! I have been vacationing on the Gulf Coast for many years and this rental is by far the nicest, cleanest, most well appointed "peach" on the beach that I have ever had the pleasure of calling "home" for a week. Susan was absolutely precious and made sure that we were taken care of after two days of a travelling nightmare with Allegiant. Thank you Susan, your hospitality was impressive and will not be forgotten. This unit is directly on the beautiful coast, conveniently located to restaurants and shopping, and the perfect oasis for your vacation. I LOVED the garage space for the car and the wonderful assortment of beach toys and necessities that were available for use with the condo. You literally don't need to worry about a thing--it's all here. Thank you Vic and Susan we certainly hope to return soon. Christy E."

A perfect place for the perfect time of the year

"What a great vacation, what a fantastic condo - I really don't know how to start this review... Should I tell you about the cleanest place at the beach (from Clearwater Beach to St.Pete Beach!), the fantastic view from the balcony, the perfect equipt condo, the charming Hosts, the perfect value, the comfort of a private garage... Just a few words as a summary: We'll be back next year and we count the months. Ein paar Stichworte auf Deutsch: Wir machen seit fast 20 Jahren Urlaub in diesem Gebiet, das Peach on the Beach ist bei weitem das sauberste und bestausgestatteste Condo in diesem Preissegment. Nicht günstig, aber seinen Preis wert. Sehr freundliche Eigentümer, die sich um ihren Besitz auch kümmern und Sorge dafür tragen, dass es so gepflegt bleibt wie es ist. Nächstes Jahr wieder! "

Home away from home

"We stayed at "Peach on the Beach" for a week.The place is immaculate and very tastefully set up. Susan is super-organized and the smallest of our needs were met. The unit is exceptionally clean and has an incredible view. Everything - (linen, cutlery, paper towels, dishes, boxes, wrapping sheets etc) is provided and you really need not worry about anything. Plus, it is literally 3-4mins drive to the nearest grocery store and pharmacy. We made full use of the beach accessories which were available for our use in the garage. The heated pool is clean and well maintained. While we were there, there was a company doing their routine tests on the water quality and such. Very impressive. The check-out process was as smooth as the check-in.In less than two weeks, i even got my deposit back. Everything was professionally handled and it made our stay very memorable. Believe me - you will never go wrong with this selection. Thanks a ton, Susan and Vic."

Truly the "Peach on the Beach".

"My wife and I have been coming to the Gulf Coast of Florida for 5 years now attending spring training games.We were staying at different condos until last year when we found Susan and Vic's "Peach on the Beach". We did it again this year because this is the best. The condo is immaculate,well equipped, spacious and confortable. Everything you will ever need is there. The view from the balcony of the Gulf is to die for. Susan met us when we arrived and after only staying here last year, we felt like we were old friends. Her pride for her property is evident. We will be coming back again and again. Thank you Susan and Vic."

The Best Yet!

"My husband and I have been coming to Florida's Gulf Coast for the past five years, each time staying in a condo at different locations. By far, Vic and Susan's Peach on the Beach was the BEST! When we arrived, we were greeted by Susan, whose bubbly personality and obvious pride in her condo made us feel very welcome. The condo was immaculate, spacious, well equipped, and very comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee each day on the balcony overlooking a wide, beautiful Gulf beach. Cabanas were available for a reasonable fee which made sitting on the beach a true delight. The comfortable beds and pillows plus the sounds of the surf made for a wonderful night's sleep. We had never stayed anywhere with a garage, so having a designated place to park was a real plus. We also really appreciated having lots of brochures and suggestions for dining, shopping and things to do and see. The Peach on the Beach was so convenient to everything! Our two week stay ended much to quickly, but it was our best yet!"

Very well appointed penthouse condo

"

This was our 3rd time at this condo, That's says it all, great position, spacious, well fitted out and maintained. An absolute dream of a Holiday Condo. Look no Further you will not find better.
