Aerial view of Indian Shores: the Gulf of Mexico along the barrier island, and the Bay Shores building with its tennis courts and docks on the Intracoastal

Indian Shores · Gulf Coast, Florida

Coastal Bliss

Two minutes
from the Gulf

A two‑bedroom residence on the Intracoastal at Bay Shores Yacht & Tennis Club — heated pool, spa, lighted courts and a private dock, with the beach across Gulf Blvd.

The island

The quiet stretch
of the coast

Indian Shores is a thin ribbon of barrier island between the Gulf and the Intracoastal — a few blocks wide, and deliberately calm.

The high‑rises and the crowds sit north in Clearwater Beach and south in St. Pete Beach. Here the beach stays wide and uncrowded, the water shallow a long way out, and most evenings the loudest thing around is the pelicans working the shoreline.

Inside

Twelve hundred
square feet of calm

Both bedrooms sit apart from the living and dining rooms — which means the children can go down while the evening carries on.

A full kitchen, a table for six, a long leather sofa, and a private balcony of roughly 250 square feet looking over the greens toward the water. Two bathrooms — one with a shower, one with a bath, which matters more than people expect with small children in the party.

“This place it’s absolutely great and it meets our expectation. We love that the beach was walkable distance, literally just cross the street and you’re on a beach. This is very well equipped condo. Has a full kitchen, nice balcony, peaceful surrounding, stuff for beach like: coolers, chairs, toys for kids to play. Very clean inside, has a nice swimming pool and a great spa which you can spend some time in the evening, tennis court to play. Great restaurant and bars just around the corner. Mini golf if you like to play. We had really good time as a family and we sure will be back again. Owner is a such a nice person it makes us so welcome and was very quick to answer all our question. I highly recommend this place to everyone.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Indian Shores! Greg is a fabulous host and his place was perfect for us. It is a 2 minute walk from beach access — the wagon, umbrella, chairs, and toys were perfect for spending the morning at the beach. The condo had everything we needed for a great stay and Greg also provided a pack n play when we told him we had a toddler — extremely considerate and helpful. We would highly recommend and hope to come back!”

“We have been renting air B&Bs for years and Greg is the most responsive and customer-oriented owner we have met. You won’t be disappointed! Greg’s property is immaculately clean, and fully equipped with all kitchen and beach needs. We highly recommend Greg’s condo! The location is excellent — steps to the beach, and great restaurants and cafes.”

A heated pool, a spa
and lighted courts —

The residence sits inside Bay Shores Yacht & Tennis Club, so the day needn't begin and end at the sand.

Salt Rock Grill is a block down Gulf Blvd and the mini golf is closer than the beach. The rest is an easy drive — though the point of Indian Shores is that you needn't go anywhere at all.
