Your Coastal Florida EscapeNo-Frills, All-Chill on the Gulf

Sun, sand, and zero stress — welcome to The Fold Indian Shores. Tucked between Clearwater Beach and Tampa Bay, this laid-back Gulf-front stay puts you right on the Intracoastal Waterway with everything you need and nothing you don’t.

No overpriced nonsense here — just fully equipped studios, one- and two-bedroom suites (elite upgrades if you’re feelin’ fancy), and all the good stuff: a waterfront deck, pool, BBQ grills, game room, and views that seriously deliver.

This isn’t just a vacation — it’s the kind of trip you’ll want to replay again and again.

Because Delightfully Better Stays Deserve Great Extras

Your suite at The Fold feels just like home—if home came with a pool, a hot tub, and beach days on demand. Dive into the pool, melt into the hot tub, or wander down to the beach for a day full of sun, sand, and absolutely no to-do lists. Prefer to slow it down even more? Grab a spot on the dock and let the water work its magic.

All the comforts you love, all the perks you didn’t know you needed—and way fewer chores.

Make a Splash.
Or Don’t.

Take a dip, lounge poolside, or melt into the hot tub after a long day of adventure (or absolutely no plans at all). Either way, the good vibes are waiting.
