Perfect little place and so close to the beach. Dave was a pleasure to work with and timely at getting back to us. Very clean and cozy. The one thing is parking was not made for a 3500 Ram and we did park next to where we were staying. An older man had to come over and stick his nose in where we parked. The truck was out of the way. But other than that it was a pleasure to stay there.

Beach stay

Great location right across the street from the beach, beach chairs were a plus, pool area was nice. Caddy's across the street was an added plus for food, drinks, and music each day. Everything needed for our stay in the room.

Thank you so much Peggy, I’m really happy you enjoyed your stay. I’m also loving the brand new Caddy’s such a short walk away. It’s the only true dining on the water in Madeira and the views are beautiful. So glad you took advantage of it. Please come back anytime.

Weekend Getaway

My wife and I were looking for a short trip away from the craziness of every day life. Found this little cottage just north of Johns Pass. That was perfect for everything that we would like to do. I would strongly suggest using this for a couple getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Larsen

Host profile image
I live in Tampa and visit the property frequently. I live about 40 minutes away. I'm available if you ever need anything within reason.

Why they chose this property

Newly renovated unit post storm including kitchen and bath. Many upgrades including new TV, ceiling fans, bedding, and other decor. We have a large clean pool with plenty of seating area as well as covered lanai for eating and grilling close by.

What makes this property unique

A very short walk across the street to the beach, where you'll never find trouble getting a prime spot in front of the water. As close as you can get without paying the premium for being directly on the beach. Excellent location with the Worlds Famous Johns Pass 1 mile down the road, and downtown Madeira Beach 1/2 mile with it's unique shops and ROC park featuring many events and concerts year round.
