Perfect for Us

This place was great! Stayed here with my boyfriend for a couple days as we had a wedding to go to in the area. It was the perfect size for the two of us and just across the street from the beach. The bathroom had shampoo and other things one would need for a shower, which I really appreciated as we only brought carry-on bags. A small note but the freezer came with an ice machine. As someone who only drinks cold beverages, this was a very nice surprise. The property owner was great and very easy to get ahold of. All in all, we would definitely stay here again!

Great little spot

The property is so cute and easily accessible. It is a literal one minute walk from the beach, which was beautiful. There is an umbrella and chairs in the unit, which saves you the money if you don’t want to rent them on the beach. Dave was super communicative, and the neighbors were SO, SO friendly and kind. When I come back to Madeira, I’ll be hoping this place is available.

Great place to stay

This property was great. Perfect for 2 people. Overall property is clean and pool is well maintained. Quite a few restaurants within walking distance and property is across street from beach. No problem with linens and extras being available. I would stay here again.

Perfect Room for a Few Days at the Beach

Not the biggest living space but it provided everything we needed for a few days at the beach. Really nice that the host provided beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler for us to use while we were there. My only issues is that the shower space felt like it needed some updating and the tv in the living room was really slow. Other than that, this was great. Super easy check in and out, and the host was very responsive.

The Manatee, Cottage #11

The owner was amazing about communicating with us. We flew in and he told me they had 2 beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler & stuff for the pool & beach. They even had 2 beach towels. Everything was so well stocked and very clean. It was a small, cute older little cottage on the 2nd floor but it was just as described & perfect for just me & my daughter. Perfect location, close to everything. We walked to several restaurants & the beach is just across the street. Would definitely stay there again! And everyone staying there was super nice. We had fun talking with other guests. All around great experience!

Cute place, beautiful location!

I come to Gulf Gardens once a year. Great location, the most beautiful beaches and this resort is steps away from the beach. The units are old but clean and comfortable which is all we require. We aren’t there much. Beautiful pool area as well. The property manager is so nice and helpful. We will be back!

Beautiful and clean

This was the 2nd place that we stayed at in one of Dave’s places. It was fully stocked, clean and nicely decorated. Dave was wonderful to work with, and was the perfect host. We loved that the parking was close and that we were just off the pool. Caddies restaurant and bar is just across the street and just a five minute walk, if not closer. We loved the pool in the evenings after a long day site seeing as well! I would definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed the area very much. This is a fabulous location with great dining options, good beaches, excellent area amenities, close store, family feel at the property, all kinds of shops and activities at John’s pass, like a pirate ship cruise, jet skis parasailing and more. The pool was great and the people staying there were regular visitors and those that not regular all great, the owner worked out any details needed with us to our satisfaction we appreciate the personal touch. Thanks and hope to stay again ! We would recommend this space to others, I’ve stayed many places in the Tampa st Pete area and this one excels in customer service

This was a perfect little spot. The beach across the street is why i picked this location. The beach is beautiful and you can see it from our balcony. Bathroom is small but thats not why i was there . The pool was lovely and the people were nice too. I would definitely return.

Property manager is an ass

Property manager slash maintenance boy is a rude ass. Clearly favors certain tennants. Feel like you are at Ft. Knox with cameras watching your every move. If you are 70yrs old or older this is the place for you. If not stay away

Super cute, clean, and convenient location

This small apartment was just what my husband, 2 year old, and I needed. You literally only have to cross the road and you're at the beach, but the location just off the beach meant we weren't breathing the direct red tide breeze everytime we walked outside like we would have with a place right on the ocean. Totally worth the 2 minute walk across the street. We were in unit 11, which is on the second level (of 2) and is a corner unit. I highly recommend this apartment, as we were happily surprised that we had ocean views from both the livingroom and bedroom windows :) The pool was very clean and the landscaping around the pool is so charming! We're not usually pool people, but with the red tide at the sea, I think we spent more time at this lovely pool that's just steps from the room. We also appreciated all the beach/pool amenities that were provided: beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, etc. Communication from host was good and we knew what we had to do to get into the apartment the first time, where to park, etc. The check-in and check-out list was clear and easy to follow. We feel we definitely got our money's worth from this place and would book here again next time.

This was a great location for a quick couples getaway. Small and cozy, full kitchen well stocked, and walking distance to so many local fun spots and a quick beach tram ride if you want to go a bit further. Two thumbs up!

Maderia Beach August 2022

I highly recommend this place. It has everything you need. It’s exactly as described. The owner responded very fast to my questions and the people there made you feel very comfortable. It was very clean, quite and the beach is right across the street. Restaurants an nightlife is very close as well. Just pack your clothes because that’s all you will need. The cleaning lady is very polite as well. I had a chair, umbrella and cooler that I couldn’t bring back home with me an I asked if it was ok to leave for any upcoming guest and she said yes. I also told her she was welcome to keep it herself. I would definitely stay there again.

Fun, relaxing stay

This condo was bright, clean, and had everything my husband and I needed for a comfortable, relaxing vacation get-away. It's just steps away from the beautiful Madeira Beach, of which you get a peek-a-boo view from the condo, and Caddy's restaurant (although you do have to cross an at-times busy street to get to both, so be careful). If you don't want to hang at the beach, there's an awesome pool to take a dip in. John's Pass, a fun shopping/activity center is a short drive away, as are Winn-Dixie and CVS for groceries and other incidentals. Dave, the owner, is very accommodating and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to return in the future and definitely recommend this rental. Thank you, Dave, for your hospitality!
