Welcome to Madeira Beach, they say it’s a “mile long and a smile wide." This dockside home offers beautiful views of Boca Ciega Bay where you can watch both sunrise and sunset. Fish right off the dock or just enjoy dolphins, manatee and osprey, as well as other aquatic wildlife.
We are steps away (316 – we counted them) from a public beach access on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Load up the beach cart or grab a bicycle to enjoy walking, relaxing, shelling or beach volleyball.
Head out to John’s Pass Village (1/2 mi), for great restaurants, shopping, parasailing, jet skis, dolphin cruises and nightlife.
We are also very close to St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach, Sarasota, Bradenton and Tampa, where Baseball Spring training is easily accessible.
Enjoy local seafood festivals, arts and craft shows and music festivals. The theme parks of Orlando are just over an hour away.

My family stayed here a week back in June and loved every minute of it. The owners couldn't have been more gracious as it was a last minute reservation. The cottage is awesome, it has everything you'd need, nice gas grill, beach cart with chairs and toys for the kiddies, kayaks for morning paddles off of your own private dock, it even has fishing gear. I think my favorite feature (besides the outdoor shower), is the location. The location is waking distance to everything you need. The decor of the property only further reminds you to slow down, and relax while you're there...... After all it is always 5 o' clock there. I liked it so much that a booked it for a long birthday weekend with some friends for a little football, bbq, some booze, and a whole lot of beach!!s

My friends and I were looking for a little place to get away to on the beach for our birthdays. This place exceeded our expectations and more! We loved it and will definetely be coming back to enjoy it again. We didn't know how "stocked" the house would be and were suprised to see we way over packed, because the house has EVERYTHING. It is perfect for a weekend getaway, and its exactly like the pictures shown. I wouldn't have changed a thing! Thanks for an amazing weekend!!

What a great pearl of a place - tucked in off the main drag by a couple of blocks, this quaint beach house located on the bay is dynamite. First off - owners did a very nice job on renovation - nice place compfy beds, clean facilities, yada yada yada. But you don't come here to sit indoors. What sells me is walking out the back door and sitting on a beach chair in my back yard, have a drink and my options expand - should I fish (from same said chair), have a hand rolled cigar, read my book or just enjoy the scenery, wait - maybe I'll watch the great blue blue heron and pelicans lazily fly around the bay. Shops at John's Pass Village are a nice stroll away (source of hand rolled cigar). The beach is a few blocks. Sorry, what isn't here to like. St. Pete's offers a lot - many places to drive to and make like a tourist. Met the owners-great people. What a break from the sterilized vacation condos, this is like a home away from home. I'm Coming Back for More!
