ABOUT THE BUILDING…
Sandcastle I has some of the most beautiful grounds along the beach, and the management takes great pride in the condition of the common areas. There was a major renovation completed in the past couple of years to the outside & common areas of the building, it shows as new and has a beautiful BEACHFRONT HEATED POOL and LARGE SPA/HOT TUB next to the pool, overlooking the beach. Other amenities include a sauna, lending library, ping pong/recreation area, poolside washrooms & change rooms. For you BBQ lovers, there are two gas BBQ’s on the grounds as well as a charcoal grill - complete with tables to relax & enjoy a beverage while doing your grilling.
ABOUT THE AREA…
Indian Shores is located on a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, between Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and is easily accessible via several major airports, including Tampa (TPA), St. Petersburg (PIE), and Sarasota Bradenton (SRQ). You can also fly into Orlando (MCO) if your plans include Disney, which is less than two hours away (along with Sea World, Universal Studios, Gatorland, and all the other Orlando attractions). In the immediate Tampa Bay area, there are unlimited attractions such as Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, the Florida Aquarium, John’s Pass, the Lowry Park Zoo, just to name a few. Into sports? It’s all here: NFL Football (Buccaneers), Major League Baseball (Devil Rays, as well as well as spring training for many MLB teams including the Yankees, Blue Jays, Phillies & others nearby), NHL hockey (Lightning) and countless golf courses. If boating is your thing, there are rentals available directly across the street on the intercoastal waterway & boat slips are available within walking distance. Shopping? You won’t be disappointed; shopping from high end to factory outlets all within a short drive!
The Suncoast Beach Trolley (stops outside the building) is a convenient way to get around on the beach if you don’t want to drive. If you do drive, there is a covered parking spot assigned to our unit and limited guest parking is also available.
This is a non-smoking unit. Sorry, pets are not allowed in the condo or on the grounds. Sandcastle 1 is a family/adult building. If this does not suit your needs we would respectfully ask that you look elsewhere. Primary renter must be min. 25 years old and must occupy unit - strictly enforced.

Perfect spot on the gulf coast of Florida
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We've vacationed in the Indian Rocks area for several years now. We love the area and this condo was perfect! Bedrooms are a good size, beds were comfy and everything was as described! The complex itself was very nice- love the new landscaping and walkways! Checkin process and key codes were so easy! We did use a guest parking spot too and had no issues, but the complex wasn't full either. Only a couple very minor things- the sheets on the beds were a little scratchy, not terrible though. The front bedroom stays quite warm, but there were fans available. The patio furniture wasn't very comfortable; the height was nice, but not for sitting long or without shoes. None of these impacted our stay though! We are already talking about booking again for next year!!

The Condo was very accomidating - views were beautiful, space was plentiful. It was pretty well equipped. There were some things that needed upgraded or replaced - pots and pans are not up to par, that made it hard for us due to the fact we cooked 5 meals during our stay. Even with spray and butter everything was sticking. There are also ZERO cleaning products, so I would suggest going to dollar tree for items as such.
Other than those 2 those 2 things we really enjoyed our stay. There were dolphins every morning, we even saw a PINK one our 1st morning. The sunsets are gorgeous and the coffee shops are plentiful.
Beds were very decent and bathrooms were great. The soaking tub is awesome!!!!!
I would stay again - as long as I can cook stickfree ❤️ with 8 kids between 2 condos eating out isn't an option lol
The owners are super nice and VERY responsive. That was greatly appreciated!
Thank you Ian and Michelle.

Loved the area been there for 40+ years. The room we reserved had been given to another person but the owner had another room of equal size. He gave a a 50$ gift card so all was ok. The room was great location was great. I had to clean it which wasn’t so good. I love this area but wish it was cleaner. People in the area are so nice and can’t say enough about location. Wish I could live there.
