Right across from beach access, small but great.

If you need a lot of space you may not like it. For two of us it was fine. It was more important for us to have all of the beach items and be close to the beach. All the beach items are there it all worked out great. Would stay again for sure.

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.

Comfy and Cozy

My husband and I made a quick trip and only stayed 2 nights. The cottage was cozy and as described in the listing. Dave was quick to answer any questions. We didn't visit the pool, but did spend a day on the beach. Access is right across the street and a very short walk.

Best Value in Madeira Beach!!

Quaint, well equipped, studio, with everything you need for a comfortable stay! I was in town for work and didn’t even plan on going to the beach, but because everything I needed for a trip to the beach was in the apartment, I enjoyed some time in the sun! The owner was great to work with and responsive to inquiries! There may be nicer places that are much more expensive, but I can’t imagine there is a better value in Mad Beach!!

Hidden gem

This was a great place to stay for two people. We had everything we needed. Plenty of dishes, toilet paper, paper towel, napkins, and the towels were very nice along with the two beach towels that were provided. The room was very clean and the manager was super nice and was at the property every day for any questions. The pool was clean and very nice as was the pool deck with chairs and loungers. We had a great stay and look forward to staying again next year!

Gulf Gardens - Exceeded Expectations for a Relaxing Getaway

Gulf Gardens exceeded our expectations for our recent vacation. From the moment we arrived, the property owner had clearly thought of every little detail to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. One of the best features was the easy access to the beach, located right across the road from the property. This made it a breeze to spend time by the water, without having to worry about parking or lugging all our beach gear. In fact, the property owner had provided everything we needed for a day at the beach - towels, an umbrella, and comfortable chairs. We were incredibly impressed with the attention to detail throughout the property, ensuring we had everything needed for our stay. In the unit, we found laundry pods, a great selection of toiletries, high-quality linens, and even some coffee and other essentials. The small touches like these really stood out and made our vacation so much more comfortable and relaxing. The property itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The check-in process was also seamless and convenient. Overall, Gulf Gardens delivered on everything we were looking

Great location, clean, well-equipped studio

Super clean. Located less than a mile from John’s Pass. Publix and WynnDixie less than mile in other direction . Many restaurants in short walking distance. Beautiful white powdery beach across the street. Very nicely decorated studio apartment, small fully equipped kitchen. Bath is quite small but shower was good size. Shower appeared to be recently deglazed, and was bright white. Couch and easy chair were comfortable, good a/c and ceiling fans. Great pool area, although pool was not as warm as desired. Beautifully lit at night! Adjacent covered dining area, with grill. Very nice community of returning residents who welcomed us to join afternoon happy hours at the pool by deck. Washers and dryers available in a community room.

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.
