Clean with everything you need to make your stay seamless. No frill, classy cozy place! Checking was without issues as was checking out. Bob was super responsive. Easy access to the beach - time of the year was great for our stay. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Eclectic Charm
The bungalow was clean, welcoming, and fun. The inside has a beach/vintage theme and it was interesting to wander around reading the photo tags and newspaper clippings. The location is amazing, steps from the beach. The hosts provided a number of beach items for use - umbrellas, chairs, sand toys, noodles, and a paddleboard. We had a very nice time.

Unique in location & accomodation
Our family enjoyed our little Madeira Beach bungalow stay. Bob has prepared an interesting accommodation for his guests and was very generous with his provision of incidentals. The historical bldg. is in a cramped setting but its proximity to the beach is second to none. Unfortunately, construction occurring concurrently with our stay caused more non-optimal conditions than we anticipated based on communications. Definitely a property worthy of your consideration!

Family Spring Break
The bungalow was in a perfect location to access Maderia Beach. Literally steps from the beach. Don't have to load up a car or worry about forgetting anything, you can just walk back and get it. It's impossible to find a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with that much living space, that close to the beach without sharing walls and paying more. Hot tub was larger than typical and doubled as the plunge pool. Picture looking out the front does show another pool but that is the owners. Not a big deal, other pictures show the hot tub as the plunge pool, it is larger than typical hot tub. Kitchen had plenty of supplies. Chairs, umbrella, boogie board and cart were awesome ammenities and we used them every day. Walked down to Johns Pass evey day and visited the shops, restaurants. An awesome vacation spot, would recommend it and stay here again!

We have stayed in several places in this area and this is now our favorite! You can't beat the location right on the beach and close to everything else. And the house is well stocked with toiletries, kitchen basics, and everything you need for the beach. My kids also loved the plunge pool, which saved us on a few days when it was too cool to spend a lot of time at the beach. We definitely plan to return!

Interesting Place in a Great Location
My wife and I had a great stay in this bungalow. The beach is less than 50 yards away, and the proximity to shopping, restaurants and bars was fantastic. We happened to be there during the John's Pass Seafood Festival, and it was nice to be able to walk there and stumble back! The place was stocked with everything that we needed: kitchen supplies, soap/shampoo, beach toys, towels, etc. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely stay again. BTW...the Middle Grounds restaurant recommendation was spot-on! By far, the best Grouper I have ever had. The lobster was also perfect. We ate there twice in the 4 days that we were there and wish we would have gone every day! Thanks Bob!

Great location, maybe a tad too cozy
Great location and that’s why we chose it. Beds were very comfortable! Tried to appreciate the character but missed some basics. Clean but old. Lack of dressers and luggage stands meant living out of suitcases on the floor. Walls made of bifold doors meant no privacy or noise barrier in bedrooms. Okay for all girls but not for multiple couples. Kitchen not well stocked for cooking. Pans and silverware need replacing. Closets and baseboards could use a solid cleaning.

We appreciate you pointing out what a great location it is and that the beds were very comfortable! Also we appreciate you pointed out it was clean. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the old part :) We do point out in our listing that some of the original walls are bi-fold so the 1938 bungalow was ahead of it's time being able to be converted to an open concept! As you can see from the pictures, we have what dressers we can fit in each room. Back in the 1930s they did not make sure big bedrooms rooms like today. So although there is limited dresser space, there are oversized closets to house your clothes. Since there is an antique white paint that was used, sometimes it might look a little dirty, but it is clean like you mentioned above :) We will check into the pans and silverware you highlighted and thanks for the feedback. I hope you had a great time here!

Great historic bungalow that backs up to the beach!
Perfect location! Everything you need is walkable from there! House is a historic charmer with a new upgraded kitchen. Was very clean. Walk right out to the beach. Plunge pool/hottub can only be used til 9 pm (by local law) so thats a bummer. But other than that- perfect and we'd definitely stay there again.

Beautiful Location
Cute little bungalow with great location on the beach. It was close enough to walk to John's Pass. We had some cleanliness issues, but the owner addressed them. Also, renovation was going on in the house nextdoor and there were work crews starting up at 7:30 in the morning. We had to keep the curtains closed that looked out onto the beach, so that the workers couldn't see in. Not in the owner's control, but still something to be aware of. Overall, a nice place for a quick beach trip!

Great beach location, however…
The surrounding area is somewhat noisy, with a lot of activity from beach goers (the path and parking is right out front) and Gulf Blvd, a busy 4 lane road. Not to mention there was construction activity on most days at Bob the landlord’s home next door. Bob, though, was very quick to respond to and correct any issues we had. The bungalow was a pleasant, spacious accommodation, with a well equipped kitchen with modern appliances although some of the pots and pans could stand to be replaced. The nice sized front loading washer and dryer and having 2 bathrooms were pluses.

VrboOwner a répondu le 25 janv. 2023
We are a little perplexed by the review and it may be because the guest was not from the country. Yes, the bungalow has a beach view. Those are actually the first two words in the title of the property. It is a 1938 bungalow (words 7 and 8 in the title), which we mention many times and is in the title and state we have it decorated to keep the old Florida charm with original pecky cypress, advertisements, and such. Maybe in your country a bungalow and cabin are the same, so I am a little confused. I am not sure what the guest is saying about you can't use the front door to access the property. In the last picture in the listing, you see the front door which faces the street and is to the left of where you park by the garage which makes sense it is the front door. This is also the door with the Nest electronic lock making more sense it is the front door. Yes, everyone uses the public beach access which is literally right in front of the bungalow for two reasons. 1) The sand dunes are protected and you are not supposed to walk on them to protect the vegetation and wildlife. 2) if you did go into the dunes, you would be very unhappy as then you will have a ton of sand spurs/stickers in the bottom of your feet which are very painful.
