The location is amazing and the beach is wonderful. I love being so close to everything and just being able to walk. The condo is clean, fully stocked and perfect and love that it had two full bathrooms. It was perfect for our family getaway. Thank you !
FANTASTIC!!!! Fantastic condo & location. Our Host couldn’t have been better - very responsive. The condo was clean, well equipped, and the beds were comfortable (a plus for sure)!
This condo was perfectly located in walking distance to everything. We only had to use a ride service to and from the airport. The condo itself was perfect for our friends getaway. It was spacious and clean!
Our family had a wonderful week here and appreciated all of the amenities of this condo, especially the 4 beach chairs, the umbrellas and floatys! The closeness of the beach and swimming pool were a plus. Also enjoyed being within walking distance to John’s Pass and other restaurants. Truly recommend staying here.
Overall impressed with our stay. Alex was a great host and replied immediately with our questions while on our vacation, making it a fabulous experience. The beach was clean and the location is right next to John’s Pass , making it convenient for fun, food and experiences. We will definitely be back.
We love Sandy Shores!! We’ve stayed here the past 5 years. This was our first time in 211 and it was great!! Amazing location and ease to navigate around Madeira Beach and St Pete’s
Recommend 100%
Nice place within a short walking distance to beach. Right across the street from John's Pass with lots of restaurants and other touristy activities.
Host is very nice and super helpful. Replied to me within the hour.
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.
We would stay here again!
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!
This was the perfect location for our family vacation. We loved being able to walk across the street to John’s Pass or walk straight out to the ocean. The condo is equipped beautifully. Extra blankets and extra towels were appreciated. The kitchen had everything we needed and all the appliances were like-new. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the AC worked great!
Loved our stay! We have 2 small children and the location was perfect. Being able to be right on the beach was so nice because we didn't have to haul all of our beach stuff down or across the street. There were so many restaurants around it was hard to choose where to go! The condo itself was clean and you can tell it was recently updated. We'll definitely be back!

Thanks so much for staying with me, it was an absolute pleasure and hope you consider booking again next year!
Had a great time. Great location and great communication. It was really nice to have the beach chairs and beach toys to use. Didn’t realize there wasn’t a washer and dryer in the unit but there was one on the floor that we used easily.
We enjoyed this place, location is fantastic!! All the codes were a bit much but appreciate the security of the complex. Property owner very easy to work with, we had a stove issue and maintenance was at the unit very quickly.
It was quiet, and convenient for everything we wanted to do. Thank you!
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.
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.
Clean and nice very nice beach was clean and very big. Great location fishing was good night life was fun . The condo was great but my one issues was alot of codes to get in and out and none are the same and need quite alot things from the store if u plan in cooking like bags tin foil and others... but no big deal will definitely be back alex was a great host and we will be back
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.
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!
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.
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!

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.

Hello, we're happy to learn that you enjoyed your trip! Your feedback is greatly valued. Thank you for bringing the worn area on the couch to our attention; we will certainly explore the option of replacing it. Unless guests like you or the staff tell us, we certainly wouldn't know so thank you!
Additionally, we would be more than willing to have a discussion with our cleaning staff about the possibility of supplying additional toiletries. While they typically provide essential items for the condos in our building, such as paper towels, your suggestion has prompted us to consider whether there are other amenities we can include. Your input helps us enhance the experience for all of our guests, and we truly appreciate it.
Furthermore, we're thrilled that you enjoyed the condo's prime location right on the beach, and we're glad to hear that the unit offered the partial ocean view as described. We hope to welcome you back soon for another fantastic stay!
About the host
Hosted by Alex Richwagen
Hi, first of all, thanks for renting out my condo! I hope your stay is fantastic and you enjoy it as much as I do. My name is Alex and here's just enough about me. I'm married and have two young kids. We bought the place for a beach vacation spot for my mom to spend more time with us, meaning family is very important. So, hopefully your stay home away from home. I absolutely love to just and watch the boats go by as does my daughter & son. Three words to describe my style, happy, fun, and "open for feedback". Well ,that was six words, but you catch my drift. I'm interested in always making updates to the unit and am interested in your opinion. If you don't mind, if you think of something to make your stay better, I definitely want to know.
Why they chose this property
It's a perfect vacation spot for families with two rooms or a dual couples who want to share a space with a large balcony. The area near John's Pass is ideal because everything is within walking distance. My wife and I love Clearwater Beach & St. Pete Beach, but this offers a much better lifestyle for our kids to share with others.
What makes this property unique
The condo has a large deck, updated kitchen, has a heated pool directly on the Gulf of Mexico for some amazing sunsets. The condo complex is directly across from famous John's Pass, an amazing area with lots of shops, restaurants, and nice sites to looks at.
