I have been coming to GSW for as long as I can remember... The Beach is beautiful! It is a somewhat quite area, there are a few good restaurants, John's Pass is nice. It is not a Big "Nightlife" area. Tampa is not a far drive, Theme parks (Disney...) can be done as a day trip. The Best part is... more

The first week we stayed in a one bedroom balcony which overlooked the parking lot (doesn't sound great, but it wasn't bad when you are in paradise and the weather is spectacular) but we had a terrific view of the pool, beach and beautiful... more

My family stayed at the Grand Shores resort April 14-21, 2007. We were prepared for the worst reading some of the trip advisor reviews but instead were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were a bit dated but very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We had an efficiency with a balcony overlooking the pool area. We did not have many encounters with... more

My family and a party of 12 others stayed at this resort for two weeks. We stayed in a large two room and viewed basically every other type of room availible due to the fact our family rented out seven rooms. The rooms are old, however very clean, and the beach is beautiful. However, due to our terrible treatment by... more

I've stayed here both as an owner and as a 'guest' staying during the non weeks I own. While the staff may not have the Southern Charm, there are a few who're polite and downright talkative. One of the benefits is having a full kitchen at your disposal as well as the gas grills. The laundry is great if you... more
