Trillium 5C Stunning beach front condo, beautifully remodeled w|amazing views

We've been staying at 5C for years now and it seems like our recent stay had several major things that did not meet our expectations: First of all, the unit next door was moving out, taking up most of the hallway and elevators for our move upon check-in. The next TWO days were filled with jack hammering. When we finally spoke to someone in management, they told it was something they could help us with, that they don't always know about what is happening in other units. I would have thought five years of back to back stays would have equated to finding a solution, even relocating us to a different property but there was really no help there. Management kept on saying it was for one day, but we clearly heard it two days, plus ongoing hammering and construction throughout out stay. Not only this but cleanliness was lacking during our latest stay. We found a few LARGE cockroaches on the floor and the pool was less well maintained than it had been in previous stays. There was also additional construction outside of the building as well that added to the noise while we were at the pool. I am seriously second guessing staying with this rental group in the near future.

We will definitely be back!

The view is fantastic. The rooms were spacious and not on top of each other.

We’ve been coming to Trillium for years; we come 2x a year, and it only seems to get better with time! 5C is our favorite because there’s no one above you and the kitchen is very nice. The view is priceless from the extra large balcony, perfect for morning dolphin watching and nightly sunsets over the Gulf. The pool is well maintained and the water is very nicely heated. The location is primo. This is our second home. We’ll be back in April. See you soon!

The previous comments re this property mentioned cleanliness issues and I will admit there was some with us as well, hair in the shower, not clean linens, etc. The unit was not completely unclean. Definitely details that could easily be remedied. We were pleased that there were some beach chairs as we flew to this destination. We purchased umbrellas and beach games and left those behind for future guests. We love the unit as we have stayed at the location previously but different unit. Very close to many walkable eateries, shopping, coffee and entertainment. The management company was very kind. I do wish that there were not keys to keep up with and more codes. It makes it difficult when not all of the party is coming in/up at one time. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

We will definitely be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd visit to Trillium and our 10th visit to the St Pete's area. It was nice to be back. We were postponed twice (Covid and construction) in the past 3 years. It was nice to see Madeira had not changed much although we missed the Brown Boxer restaurant.We had booked the unit several years before as we were hosting friends who had previously hosted us. We all were impressed with the location, in particular the view.The first day, we booked our 4 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas with Joey. We had rented several times in the past from him. I remembered his favorite scotch so he looked after us very well. We were thankful we had our beach chairs as not once could we use the Trillium's pool or lounge chairs. The area was always occupied with kids and parents. We knew the pool area was not large but it was just taken over by other guests.Further, their seemed to be tension or an unwelcome attitude by some of the permanent residents. One told us point blank that she did not like our beach chairs and umbrellas taking up space of their beach. One of our guests is a lawyer and politely explained about the high water mark! She gave us the look the rest of the time. Another issue was parking. We had been advised by RR staff that the permanent residents did not want visitors using visitor spaces (there were at least 6)! We needed an extra space. We took care of it in our own way but it goes to the first point about not feeling welcome. Maybe it was the time of year (late Easter)? But decide if you are in the vacation business or not!My wife was surprised there was no bed linens or towels changed at the end of the 1st week. The washing machine was small so it took several loads to clean. There was no unit cleaning either. We have rented elsewhere where these services were provided.We noticed the prices for 2023 have increased over 50 % so we will look at other alternatives. But we love Madeira Beach.
