Amazing vacation!

This was the perfect place to bring two of my grandchildren for their first Florida vacation. The property was clean and conveniently located. We were able to walk across the street for our pirate cruise and our dolphin cruise. No worries about parking. I would definitely come stay again.

Great place to stay, clean, ocean front. Lacked in a few things, no extra blankets, no paper towels, beds are kinda hard, not a lot of bath towels. If you like a quiet Place this isn’t for you. You are right above the pool. Walking distance to everything Johns Pass. We would rent again! Lot more positives than negatives!

Beautiful and updated

The interior was just remodeled. Beautiful view. Pool was great and beach access was good. Kitchen was well equipped. Only drawback for us, the mattress was very hard. Hurt joints - slept on the sofa 3 nights.

Beach view from balcony and beach access were fine. Overall, property needs work . Building, condo, and furnishings are dated, worn, and shabby. The couch was actually more than a little repulsive. For the price, the condo should at least provide paper towels and coffee in kitchen. I won’t be returning.

Highly recommend this condo!

My family and I loved our stay. The location is perfect. Within minutes of walking you have gift shops, restaurants and ice cream shops right behind the condo complex. The views were amazing sitting on the patio. Check-in/out was seamless and easy. We plan to visit again. The upkeep/cleaning was not as detailed as I personally clean but for a week stay it was no biggie. We had our 15 month old so rented some items from babyquip, which worked great. It was nice just being steps from the beach to get nap times in:) Just an fyi regarding having a toddler- some exposed electrical cords, glass table, no tub drain (plugged it with wash cloth), but totally managed.

Location was good - condition was okay

Girls trip for a long weekend. We picked this condo for the direct beach access and location to John’s Pass. The condition of the interior is lacking. Beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Furniture was dated and worn. Floors were dirty. No extra amenities like shampoo or paper towels. Would not return.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very dirty bathroom, the faucet hadn't been cleaned in ages. The locals from the beach come in through gate, use bathroom and pool. That could be rectified by a key card, take off the knob on door so that can't turn it

So easy to check in and out. And the host were so very kind to let me know when my room was ready, and that I could start enjoying my stay early.

Nice place to stay at Madeira Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Located very close to John’s Pass and village boardwalk with restaurants ans shopping options. The condo had a spectacular beach-/seaview from livingroom and balcony. Nice pool area, clean and well maintained and equipped with enough loungers. Large parking area on ground level with reserved spacious parking lot for each unit. Keyless access / protection to staircase, elevator, beach In&out with 4 digit PIN, to Condo with 6 digit PIN 😊, no worries about keys. Staircase and elevator left some room for improvement of cleanliness.The rented Condo was clean with few exceptions.Management personnel was friedly and helpful.
