Holiday Villas III Rentals, Indian Shores

We just returned from our family vacation at HOLIDAY VILLAS III and had an incredible experience. We loved everything about unit 605. We booked our unit through the owner and he was fantastic! His website was great: beachloverscondo.com and the condo was just perfect. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath oceanfront condo and the description and photos were extremely accurate. While this unit was not the least expensive, we all agreed in my family that we did not want to take a chance on a few others we saw in the same building that were a bit less costly on different websites that looked vintage 1970's! Our condo appeared very new and refreshing! New kitchen with granite sinktops, new bathrooms, new furniture, new floors- we were very pleased upon arrival and even happier once we met another family which I will tell you about in a bit. Holiday Villas III is a quant property, with 7 floors so it is not big and unruly. We got an assigned parking spot for our car - same spot all the time which was really nice. We felt comfortable letting our children go from the pool, to the beach and up to the unit unattended- no worries. The pool is oceanfront and had only a few steps to the beach with a shower right there to rinse off. We swam in the pool almost every night after dinner- heated like a hot tub. My children played shuffleboard and we even fished on the fishing pier accross the street. My husband enjoyed the BBQ grills, I guess it's a man thing as he grilled at least 3 times and grunted with great pleasure! Grocery shopping was close and there was a 7/11 just up the street that we walked to a few times for ice cream. The resturants were not crowded at all, and there were plenty within a 5 - 10 minute drive from the condo. I would recommend this property to others, especially unit 605. One bit of caution, we did speak with a family at the pool who had booked another unit and paid a few hundred dollars less than we did. Of course the husband grumbled all week- he thought he was getting a good deal, but the unit was not what they expected- a bit dirty and rundown. We hesitated to show them our unit but we did, and then they really became irritated and felt it was not worth the money they saved. They understood every unit was different as they are all owned by different people and the husband even said he saw the 605 unit on the internet but he booked an alternate one due to price. The wife laughed and said her husband was always trying to find the "best" deal in everything he does- well we laughed together on the side that he got his best deal and now was not happy! She was a good sport and a hoot to listen to about her husband all week- LOL! Surprised they are still married!!!!!!!!! We were extremely happy with our selection and will be returning to Holiday Villas III and hope to get unit 605 again this Summer! Hope this helps any of you that are considering a condo at Holiday Villas III- enjoy!

We really liked this property! We have stayed here 4 or 5 times and continue to come back. The views are to die for and the units are nice and clean. We especially like the oceanfront pool and the beach area.
