Villa Madeira 609 | Beach FRONT|Walk to John's Pass!

The mattress on the twin beds, and standard bed need to be replacedAlso bed pillows.Everything else was very nice.We enjoyed our stay.Beach view was wonderful. Sunsets great!

This was our second year staying at this building, different units each year. This unit, 609, is very dated. The furniture has visible stains, the master bedroom mattress has a large impression on one side of the mattress, which made sleeping very uncomfortable. However, some of these are expected when staying in a rental. Our visit was enjoyable regardless of the few things about the unit. Had the pictures of the unit showed more of the master bath, we may not have picked that unit (the dated portion!). We would definitely stay at this complex again! Likely a different unit.

The condo is older, but in very good condition. The location was great, and the weather was perfect. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the balcony, listening to the surf. We would definitely stay there again. Our only quibble was that there were no condiments or spices, which is unusual for a condo. Otherwise it was well equipped.

The positive is the view, the porch, and the pool! And for our family that made this trip work. However, the check in is ridiculous. Driving over 20 minutes out of your way to pick up and drop off the keys is ridiculous. Also, I knew the unit was dated. That never really bothers me. But the couch and love seat were just plain dirty and heavily stained. I ended up using sheets in the hall closet to cover the furniture so we could sit on them. Finally, I understand you don’t stock units with paper products, cleaning products and/or basic food supplies…. But not one solitary item was provided. Not even a sponge. No salt. Or ANY pantry item. Our grocery bill was ridiculously high. We have food allergies so cooking in is not something we can avoid! The host fees and service fees are always very high in my opinion. And I can not help to question what these services provide if not the very concerns I have listed.

The condominium complex was nice with a great location. It was on the gulf with a pool and beach. However, the apartment that I rented was very dated. Beds were old and uncomfortable; sofas were the same. Our family rented four units for our vacation and the others were very nice. There is only one elevator for the building and it went out of service several times.

Perfect for us. The view and the beach were awesome! Never crowded but very close to activities and shopping.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The best part about our experience was the location. We were right on the beach which was clean, uncrowded, and absolutely beautiful--powdery, soft sand. The area seemed so safe, almost a small town feel. Loved that it was within walking distance to John's Pass and across the street from Candy Kitchen. The condo was spacious enough for our family of six--with three adults, two teens and a child. However, the bunk beds weren't too sturdy, so we couldn't put a teen on the top bunk. The condo could use some updating and additional supplies--silverware, beach toys, dish soap. It was not as stocked as others we have stayed in. The balcony was spacious with enough furniture and screened in. Didn't realize how great it would be not to have to worry about birds, bugs, or stuff falling down! A great stay overall--I'd rent again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I do not know how the other units at Villa Madeira are kept, but #609 was in desperate need of some TLC. The kitchen lacked common items that are necessary for daily living. Why you would not have a cutting board or a spatula, just to name a couple of items, was inconvenient and annoying.
