My husband and I stayed for two weeks and were very comfortable working and living in this spacious and well appointed condo. Chris was very responsive with everything from check-in to questions after we arrived. We loved the screened in porch for being able to work 'kind of' outside. The porch is right at the pool, so expect some noise when the pool gets busy. That didn't bother us. I would encourage people to rent a car, as there's not a lot that you can walk to. There is a Winn-Dixie grocery store, a CVS and the immediate beach and beach bar close by along with a handful of places to eat all within walking distance. Our favorite was the Gulf Bistro, a family-owned French restaurant. It was a welcome change from typical fried beach bar food. John's Pass is about a 30 minute walk, but you can catch the trolley, although it is a bit unreliable. Use the app to know when the next trolley or bus arrives. We took the trolley to Clearwater beach, although it takes about 45 minutes to get there. Lyft and Uber can also be inconsistent, non-existent or pricey. So, I would recommend renting a car. then you can go downtown St. Petersburg, St. Pete's beach, Clearwater, and any other place (like Tampa) that you may want to visit. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone who wants to visit Madeira beach or the surrounding area.
