Overall the condo is updated and very comfortable. However, it is not beachfront. We could not see the beach unless we leaned over the railing of the balcony. The view is actually a parking lot. The condo had everything we needed and lots of beach accessories which we appreciated. Plenty of space for guests. The biggest drawback was the amount of codes to remember from the elevator to the gate code and the room code. It would be nice if perhaps the codes could be noted on a bracelet or lanyard for easier access. Having to get your phone out while carrying beach accessories is rather difficult. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Overall a great trip!

Condo on the beach - no view
The property was still under construction from the hurricane. The unit itself doesn’t have an ocean view. It has everything you need though. And the beach is steps away. Communication was great. Location is great. Door handle broken, but unit still locked.

We used the pool/beach daily. We walked across the street to the bars and restaurants or over the bridge to Treasure Island for evening entertainment.
The balcony faces a parking lot, but we didn’t plan on hanging out there much anyway.

Beachfront Stay
Property was similar to pictures but interior was worn (imitation leather worn off back of couch). The most disappointing issue was this property is NOT a beachfront location. I have been staying in Florida on beachfront properties for years and have never been located on the side of a building. Condo header and photo appearing over the pass should be replaced since it is clearly misleading. Photo was of blue sky muted to appear as water. Beach area was good and not too many crowds which is normal for September. In addition Alex should review other condos to enhance renter’s experience. No paper towels were provided in kitchen, only a couple rolls of toilet paper, no small toiletries were offered in bathrooms. Property was just okay but not as nice as we have stayed in the past.

Excellent location, great beach and pool access
Had a great experience from start to finish at Alex’s condo. On our drive down we got an extremely friendly welcome call (I wish I could remember her name as she really got our trip started on a bright note). Check in was thankfully easy as we arrived well after midnight. Clean condo with plenty of room for a family. This is a touristy area located right across the street from John’s Pass but that’s exactly what we needed as we were able to eat at and shop a variety of places within a 5 min walk. Aside from going to the grocery store, we parked our car and didn’t have to move it. Traffic can get a little busy due to the bascule bridge that opens often and stops/backs up traffic, not a problem for us but just something to keep in mind if you did plan to leave and drive places often. Alex was communicative throughout and had everything we needed to enjoy beach time. Highly recommend staying here!

Great condo, location was perfect. Only tip I have is pack quarters if you need to do laundry. The machines are located in the hall and require $3. Other than that, everything is there for you. Host even provided beach towels and beach chairs. Would book again if we return to the area.

Nice location and beach access
First I will start by saying that the owner is great! Very responsive and very accommodating! We visit down in this area very frequently- we picked this unit because of it being directly across the street from John’s Pass and that makes it so convenient. The access to the pool, the beach were both very nice. Having beach chairs, umbrella’s, toys for the kids and beach towels was very nice and a great touch. Being on the 2nd floor was nice. The unit has been mostly updated and it’s decent, but the set up of the furniture is a little odd with the tv on a side wall and you’re almost looking left the entire time, not the biggest deal, but just odd. The balcony faces no body of water, it faces the parking lot of another complex and the bridge. We knew this and it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it may be to some. It doesn’t feel like you’re at the beach from the balcony. The spare bedroom was very bright at night, they have a window that faces the hallway outside and two very bright lights shining in made it impossible to sleep. We ended up covering up the window. The pillows were literally the thinnest pillows I’ve ever seen, we put 3 in one pillow case and that ended up being okay. The kitchen backsplash wasn’t cleaned - it had splatters all over it, several of the dishes looked like they were put away without being washed, 2 of the skillets had dried egg on them on the sides, so many little things added up to make for dissatisfaction. Not worth the price.

Great location and host!
We really enjoyed our time in Madeira Beach. The location of this rental was perfect. Jon’s Pass and the beach were our favorite. We spent most of our mornings on the pass catching pompano, snook and sea trout and our afternoons sitting on the beach just steps away from the unit.
We also really enjoyed the fantastic restaurants, shopping and entertainment just across the street.
Definitely would stay here again! Thanks Alex!

Nice stay at Mad Beach
Overall good. My wife and I and 4 kids between 22 and 27 stayed. We enjoyed the beach and pool. Both very convenient. The location being near John's Pass and many other good bar/restaurants was very nice, as well. All interactions with owner and other folks were good. No big concerns. The online description is accurate. Guest bathroom shower pressure is not too great according to kids, but never used it myself. Overall, I would recommend.

Such an awesome Place in Madeira Beach
I love this place. The beach is so wonderful, soft sand, blue waters. Right across from Johns Pass where you can shop, eat, ride a boat, or just hang out by the water. And the owner could not have been easier to communicate with. It's not fancy but it has everything you need including all the beach chairs and toys. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful place to make memories with my family.
