Location across the street from John’s Pass was very convenient to shops and restaurants.. Condo Property is older and still recovering from hurricane. Beach and pool area and views were all back in perfect shape. Unit owners are working hard to finish all the details.

Quick trip to the sun

Amazing location. Very nice condo. Exactly as advertised and we were very happy. I found the beds too soft and to be honest, we slept backwards on them. Kinda weird but no big deal. Pool was warm, beach was beautiful, Johns pass and trolly stop right there. This place googles very poorly and I think at least some are privately owned so it’s not fair to hold all condos to the low standards of someOwners. If you’re reading this and nervous to pull the trigger because f reviews, please let this ease your mind and you will be happy here.

Great location and ocean view

Great location surrounded by local restaurants, shopping, and bars, amazing view from the balcony. Excellent layout, kitchen spacious. They need to deep clean this place, specially the bathroom. The drainage of the bathtub was running slow. The towels were stains and there was one missing. We couldn’t find a broom and a mop. The internet was spotty and weak and poor reception in living room, difficult to stream from the bedroom. Overall great place! We could stay again.

Beachy!

Great beach/pool trip. Would be perfect for families. Awesome view with pool, beach , grills, shade and sun. Easy parking with reserved spot. The building / hallway not attractive but once inside condo all is good. Bring your own beach towels!

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay! The only things that were a little frustrating were: 1) our designated parking spot was occupied for the first 24hours and it took several calls to get them to move the vehicle! 2) directions on how to work the door locks would be helpful. But after that, it was amazing! Will definitely be returning!!

Great location

Overall our stay was very nice. Cleanliness could be improved a little. We purchased hand soap for the bathroom and dish soap for the kitchen. Hope that stays there for the next guest. Basic items like this should be included, especially in times of Covid. Other than that, location was great, pool was very nice and check in was easy.

Dry nice visit

I’ve been to Sandy Shores or Beach Place over 20 times for vacations. I love the area with plenty to do, all within walking distance. Had an electric issue in the unit that had us sleeping in another unit a couple days. That was the only thing that kept this from being 5 stars which would be normal from my last visits. They still handled the issue as good as possible.

The location was fantastic, however, it was not disclosed that the unit was under repairs. No electrical outlets to plug lamps and tv's into. The unit was very dark because no lights worked but a dim kitchen light. The furniture was warn and dirty, and the one lamp we were able to get working has a broken shade. patio furniture is rusted out. The bathroom light fixture was missing a shade. The tv in the "closet" turned into added sleeping space had no plug to plug it into. Only three bath towels were provided, for a unit advertised to sleep 8. The walls were in various forms of half painted.

Nice Condo

This condo is great for a small family wanting to get away. A few things were off but overall great! The bathtub didn’t drain properly, the pillows were very small and hard. Make sure to buy toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels. This condo also had a weird, sketchy “employees only” room where there were computers etc. inside. That was not mentioned in the Listing and would have been nice to know.

Early was great; later was iffy

The pool and beach access was awesome. The 104 unit has great beach view and easy location to the pool. The beds were soso and could use a few more pillows. No soap or paper towels in the kitchen, but that is not a big deal. I guess the lower price of this property attracts lower-class folks. But be prepared for drunk adults at the pool later in the day. I witnessed several folks beyond their limit. it was Labor Day weekend, so perhaps my experience was a bit of an anomaly. Overall I think the property was great and had a good atmosphere for beach/pool.

Good location-not as clean as expected

Unit across the hall was much better... more up to date furnishings and was better equipped with both essential And non essential items to enjoy your stay. Floor needed swept and mopped badly upon arrival. Hair in bathroom. Hot water was tricky, one shower without it. Saw 1 roach. Would stay again if unit was thoroughly cleaned. Loved the location, layout of condo, sliding deck screen and patio set, large kitchen island, and glad there were beach chairs.

Overall was just okay

A few problems with the property. Wasn’t very clean at all. Water built up in the shower ( drain issues) Codes getting in and out were a pain! Elevator was extremely slow. Noisy at night with compressor or generator ( not sure ) kicking on and off Would go back to area but not this property

It was a good stay but I don't know if we will return.

We were grateful to find a decent place at the last minute. The condo is located right across from Johns Pass boardwalk, which is great. It also offers breathtaking views of the bay where we got to see dolphins and other wildlife. We were looking for a condo on the beach and that is what this place gave us, so overall we were happy with the location. There are a few things that the place needs to provide or improve. The pillows were the thinnest and smallest I have ever laid my head on, definitely need to replace/upgrade those. We are used to getting toiletries but there were none provided, so we had to pick some up. The kitchen could probably use a roll of paper towel, a hand soap dispenser, and some basic items that were missing. The worst part was the bedroom sharing a wall with the outside hallway where we could hear every footstep and voices of people walking by. Maybe because it was an older building, there is literally no insulation from outside noises. We were woken up bright and early by noises from the generator, people walking and talking.

Not worth half that price!

Just an FYI about this condo. Upon arrival there was a full turd in the toilet. Unit was not clean. The internet was spotty and weak which resulted in no television in bedroom and poor reception in living room. Pool was under 70 degrees, until the day we left. Could not use pool, too cold. Access code for stairways not working. Towel rack in bathroom is broken. This place was by far the worst place of all the condos I've rented in that area. Will not recommend this building nor will I rent there again. Very bad experience overall!

Perfect location. We had a 6 mth old and this place was perfect for him. Pool, beach, coffee shop, ice cream were all walkable and it was super nice to be able to just pop back up to the room if our little one needed a nap or we forgot something!

Perfect beach get away

The location on Madeira Island was perfect, right on a beautiful beach, across the street from John's Pass with shops and restaurant. Reasonably quiet considering it was high season and many families with children stayed there. Our only complaint were the mattresses. It was impossible to get good sleep on them-unsupportive and sloping towards the middle. One of the previous reviews also mentioned it- with the response that the mattresses were replaced. I'm doubtful this was the case- and if so, the replacements were of equally terrible quality.

Amazing view

Highly recommend. Close to everything, you can walk everywhere. Beach is steps away as well as shops and restaurants. Pool area is very well kept!!!! Everyone is super friendly. The place is very clean, comfortable. We will definitely be back, we enjoyed ourselves!
