SALE! Dolphin Cabin at Casa Gia Boutique Condo directly on sand w/ pool& hot tub

The coolest, newest poolside cabin you will find in the area! This listing has everything you want! On the ground floor of our boutique condo building, The Dolphin Cabin has direct access to the pool, hot tub and beach! It s a one bedroom with a queen sized bed, but don t forget the built in bunk beds for the kids, (or your freeloading brother) in the living room! There is also a sofa. Great for a slumber party under to stars. Literally, under your own fiberoptic stars we installed in the ceilings! The bathroom is divided into 3 rooms to accommodate the whole family at once, while still giving you privacy, if you're into that sort of thing. Hey, we can try, right? You ll have an oversized washer and dryer, a tub/shower and a bluetooth ceiling speaker in the bathroom because, why not? The kitchen is equipped with the essentials, of course. And we put USB charging ports in the kitchen and on both levels of the bunk beds because those iPads CANNOT die. This cabin is super fun. You can really make the most out of your vacation if you choose to stay here.
Across the street in the city building is a library, and there is a waterfront park behind it for kids. Every Sunday morning, there is a city market there, too. The premier local restaurant, Salt Rock, is right there, too!. Indian Shores Coffee is less than a block away. And there is a fun easy nature walk through the mangroves on a boardwalk just beyond they shop. Fun fact, baby monitors reach to the coffee shop. Just sayin...
And just on a personal note, I pride myself on offering a rental that cleans WAY above and beyond our competition. I learned bedspreads are only mandated to be laundered twice a year. Did you just fall out of your chair? Grossest thing Ive ever heard. We wash ours each time. EACH TIME. Yes. You re welcome. So snuggle up with confidence, my friends.

Note: Larger groups wanting to rent the entire building will need to book directly on the building listing # 14904549
https://www.homeaway.com/1490459
if you book individual units for the same visiting group of families or friends, we will need to cancel and rebook the building. Please understand there's an added value for the privacy to rent the entire building. Thank you!

Nice location. Needs pump work.
While staying there, a fellow tenant who is also a vacation rental owner from the FL Panhandle mentioned the Jacuzzi/pool pump has pressure problems and / or an air leak. The Jacuzzi was very difficult to get to function ideally. With a repair/service to address that issue, you probably wouldn't need to put the rooms "on sale" & charge the full market price. Great location, just steps from the beach, and right across from Indian ROCKS Grill, though. Overall, a nice weekend getaway. Never heard from any property manager.

Temper Your Expectations
The positives: 1. The proximity to the beach is amazing. The beach is beautiful. 2. The responsiveness from the property managers is top notch. They responded to issues almost immediately at night, even on Easter Sunday. 3. The washer and dryer work great. 4. The bunk beds were comfy. The negatives: 1. We walked in and the place smelled HORRIBLE. Like mildew and rotten fish. We bought a can of lysol and sprayed non-stop for 2 days and then it finally went away. 2. There was no dishwashing detergent and the dishes in the cupboards and drawer were put away dirty. Disgusting. 3. The pool was filthy. You could not see to the bottom. We were told a pump was broken. It was fixed 3 days later. 4. The hot tub was the same temperature of the pool until someone finally figured out how to turn it on, but even then, it would only stay on for a bit and then when it turned off it almost immediately got cold and you had to wait another 1/2 hour for it to heat up. 5. One closet door in the bedroom was just resting there not working or doing anything. Why keep it there? Remove it and put up a curtain like in front of the bunk beds. 6. The bathroom sink is the size of my hand, literally. It made washing hands/faces tricky & water would splash all over the floor. 7. There were only 4 hangers and not nearly enough drawers/space for a family to put clothing. 8. Paint was peeling off of the walls. Bottom line: lots of potential but the owners have clearly let it go.

Loved our stay!
This property is perfect for a small family! Our girls loved the bunk beds and pool/hot-tub! Steps from the beach which was phenomenal! The only thing is there was quite a bit of renter wear and tear on the unit. Rusty door, dings in walls, scuffs, the cabinet doors would get stuck on the oven and dishwasher, a hole in the bathroom door, etc. And we could never get one single TV to work (not that we needed them but some might!). Overall, we would highly recommend for the price! Indian Shores is a wonderful place!

Small but cute
We stayed in a upper unit of this building for 5 days and decided to extend our stay, so we had to move to this unit. It wasnt bad for last minute, but it smells musty, and there is no "pretty" entrance. My kids loved the star lit ceilings. Overall, not bad... but definitely not as good as the unit above we stayed in.

Steps away from the beach
Quaint place perfect for a quick getaway. Clean and stocked for a short stay. Pool right outside the door and beach is a few steps from the pool. Overall, great place for two adults.

The property needs some upgrades. The appliances were old and rickety. The washing machine didn’t work. The dryer did not vent. One of the windows wouldn’t open. All windows were very dirty. The pool was cold. Manager said “it’s not heated. It says so on the website”. However on the last day of our trip, magically, the jets were pumping out heated water. The indoor shower/tub was ancient kind of cruddy.

Didn’t stay the full week.
Many issues with this unit. There were gashes in the walls in the living room and the bedroom. The curtain holder was coming out of the wall for the bunk beds. The tvs in the dining room and the bedroom only worked with Roku sticks. The main tv’s audio only worked when the cord was pushed fully in and it kept coming out. Dishwasher did not work. The hot tub only worked 4 hours out of the day according to the property manager. The trash can in the pool area was over flowing for 4 days. And then when the cleaning lady came on Tuesday, she cleaned out only what she could reach. A cooler and unopened beer can was left by the grill the whole time. Kitchen did not have kitchen towels or potholders. Property manager said she dropped them off but we never saw them. Bathroom door lock was cut out of door. The closet door was off it’s track and just inside the closet. After killing two huge cockroaches and not hearing from the property manager, we left the unit and looked for another place. Very disappointed. Only reimbursed for 3 nights when we didn’t stay for 4 nights. Property manager claimed it was because she didn’t see the message until the next morning. What if we had overflowing water in this unit, would anyone be available to help us? Not managed well at all.

Best location ever!
What a great condo and the best location! I traveled with my husband and 15 yr old daughter. We stayed in the Dolphin cabin which is on the bottom floor of a small multiple unit condo. Clean and cute- 1 bedroom- queen bed plus bunk beds off the living room- my daughter loved the ceiling twinkle lights. The washer and dryer were much appreciated. A few steps out the front door to the pool, a few more to the beach- perfect. My only issue was that the hot tub was not hot but the pool was perfect. I am one who loves a hot hot tub even when it is hot outside so I wish this was addressed when I messaged. I was told to check the control box but couldn't figure it out- messaged again- so did other families- and did not get a response back and nobody came to fix it. Not a deal breaker but would have been nice- I lean towards places with hot tubs when I travel- Mom luxury relaxation time. Condo has hedges on both sides for privacy, grill, seating and outside shower- gated from beach goers. Noise and lights out at 10pm for the turtles. There was a nest just outside the condo. We met 2 sets of guests- 4 families in all and all cool people! Close to everything- John's pass 20 min, grocery 5 min, coffee- steps away and yummy! Tons of restaurants and state parks around. Beach was not overcrowded. Don't miss Crabby Bills for outside dining, music and yummy food. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Area is safe with a mellow vibe- I wish we would have been there longer! Thanks!!

Great location and cozy lodging
We enjoyed this beachfront quiet spot. It was beautiful! Being right by the beach was key. The unit had everything we needed to make our breakfast and lunches. The star like lights were cute and a hit with the kids!
