Madeira Beach holiday condo

This unit was everything we were looking for in a home away from home. My husband and I actually met the owners and they were just as nice in person as they were on the phone. Making reservations was easy and everything was ready for us at the office when we arrived.

It is a very clean and tastefully decorated, comfortable unit with an absolutely breathtaking view of the gulf. On the balcony overlooking the gulf is where we spent part of our time watching the dolphins play, people fishing, swimming, parasailing or just "shelling." It is a neat, quiet, well maintained unit with a pool, nicely manicured lawns, and amazing flower beds. This unit icludes all the kitchenware you could ask for such as dishes, glassware, small appliances, baking pans, silverware, utensils, etc. The carpet in the bedroom is new and the shower curtain and other miscellaneous items had just been replaced. One feature we really appreciated is the security. You must have an access code to use the elevator and a key to unlock the door to the ground level stairwell.

John's Pass, which is within walking distance, has many wonderful places to eat including Bubba Gump's which was our favorite restaurant. There is a wonderful ice cream place in the opposite direction called the Candy Kitchen which features homemade ice cream and old fashioned candies that take you on a stroll down memory lane.

There are many activities to take advantage of in the area. Gator's parasailing crew took us 1200 ft up and it was awesome! We also signed up with Jesse thru Gator's and went on the snorkeling/shelling outing out to Egmont Key. You are just about guaranteed to have a dolphin show along the way as they love to swim, jump and show off in the wake of the boat.

If you are looking for a relaxing place to vacation this is the perfect spot. We have already decided our next trip will have to be longer so we can spend more time on the beach and exploring the many activities we did not have time to participate in this time around.
