About this property

Located in John's Pass, great shopping, dining, nightlife, wildlife, and the beach are all within walking distance of this waterfront property. It has a private, deep water dock with a boat slip, and a small swimming pool to create a relaxing oasis for 'getting away from it all'. Dolphins, birds, and sometimes Manatees will pay you a visit as you relax in the privacy of your own backyard. For more information, seven two seven, seven nine eight, four four eight six.

This unit is fully equipped and ready to be enjoyed. The bedroom has a queen size bed and the living room has a sleeper sofa and full size futon. There is also a futon chair which folds out and is perfect for a small child. A boat slip is also available.

The Beach Trolley runs from St. Pete Beach all the way to Clearwater Beach with a stop right in front of John's Pass. At Polito del Mar you can have the convenience of a great location with the privacy of a duplex instead of a multi-unit apartment. Relax, refresh, and enjoy.

Fantastic Gem of a Place

This was our second time staying at this property so that should tell you how much we love it here. The location is perfect, the host is very responsive with any questions/needs, and the backyard/dock is the perfect place for peace and relaxation. We will be coming back again!

Awesome Place To Stay

This is a great unit for one or two people. I traveled alone so it was perfect. The location to John's Pass is perfect. The backyard with the inground pool makes this place a gem. The views are incredible. The dock on the intercoastal is great to pass the time. The beach is across the street. Plenty of nightlife, stores, restaurants and more all in walking distance. A few minor recommendations would be there is no umbrella or shade covering the table set on the dock. This makes it almost impossible to eat outside on the dock with the Florida sun. Also, there is really no exterior lights near the pool for night time swimming. There is a flood light on the dock but it's super bright and isn't really ideal for lighting the pool.

Madeira Beach Vacation

The property is older/dated but well maintained and clean. Pool in backyard was great after a long morning walk on the beach which is minutes away. You can easily walk to John's Pass and the beach. Peaceful back yard water view. Enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

We enjoy being directly on the water. We can fish right from our backyard! It is very private but at the same time we are in the middle of John's Pass with the beach, great shopping, dining and recreation only steps away. We can either walk or take the trolley or mass transit anywhere we want to go. It is perfect for 2 adults or 2 adults and 1-2 children.
