Across from the Beach and an Easy Walk to Johns Pass Village. Great Value in a New Resort and Spa.

Great unit with a view of the ocean! Perfectly located just 0.4 miles from John's Pass and was very convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. The unit itself was very well stocked with everything that we needed and we loved the full-sized bunk beds for the kids!

One recommendation, get another beach chair or two. One is not enough. :)

This is the second year we have stayed in this condo. There were many nice changes this year (new couches, new floor) although we were very happy with the original . There is no longer an expansive view of the gulf as a new building is being built directly across the street, Instead there is a smaller view. You cannot beat the location of this unit, across the street from the beach and a few blocks from the bars, restaurants and shops at Johns Pass. We will be back.

Condo was as described. A bit cramped if you had more than 4 people, but for our needs it was perfect. A short walk to the boardwalk with great places to eat. Beach across the street was perfect, white sand, no crowds.

Condo was in great shape, though internet was slow due to it being part of the overall resort. Netflix didn't work on the TV, so plan ahead. or rent a dvd from the redbox down the street.

We enjoyed our stay at the Madeira Bay Resort. It was a great condo comfortable, clean and well equipped. The only criticism I would have, the guest bedroom was very small and had 2 single beds which are small for adults. The guest shower needs a soap dish or some place to hold soap, shampoo, etc.

Maintenance responds was excellent when the coffee maker did not work. It was immediately replaced.

The condo was conveniently located within walking distance of John's Pass.

Free parking and swimming pool and hot tub access were pluses as well.

There is some sort of construction directly in front of the condo which spoiled the view of the bay and produced noise. The didn't detract from the condo but did affect the quality of the vacation.

Bottom line: I highly recommend this condo.

The condo was clean and had all the amenities one would want. The reasons for not rating five stars :

The carpet out in the hallway is stained and this makes for a lousy impression.

The sofa in the unit is quite uncomfortable.

The cable channels were difficult to access and from it would have been very nice to provide a channel guide as one would find in any hotel room.

The seating for meals is awkward. The counter top is not deep enough to accommodate the bar stools and the little table is too little for two people to enjoy a meal.

We enjoyed our stay and the area but won't be back.
