Hard bed, no amenities

The room was clean. Had a great view of the marina from the balcony. Across the street is beach access. Those were the good things. No hand soap, shampoo or those little things that make travel easier. The main bed was hard, the pull out couch beds allowed you to feel every spring. Ended up closing the bed in couch and sleeping on the couch. Those were the unlivable aspects. Did enjoy Bubba Gumps down the street within walking distance.

We really enjoyed our stay on Maderia Beach. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything you need from cooking utensils to ironing your clothes. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the parking situation. We took two cars on vacation because my husband had to meet with some clients while we were in the area and we had to pay $15.00 a day to park at John's Pass. However, the staff was great, the location was great, the condo was very clean. We were advised in advanced of the parking for one vehicle only, just thought there would be additional parking close by. There was metered parking but you have to feed the meters every 4 hours.

Nice clean Condo, with good views of waterways. When we arrived there was no kettle to boil water and the handle fell off the balcony door. We rang the office and the next day received a kettle and the door was fixed.
The only downside for us was that the kettle was not electric. The coffe machine also could do with replacing as the coffee only got luke warm and I had to heat it in the microwave.
Location was good as only a short walk to the shops and Boardwalk of Johns Pass, where there are plenty of reasonable eating places. You can also see the dolphins at play in the harbour and the Pelicans being fed from the fishing boats.
There was a variety of Bird life to see from our balcony and we even had an Egrett come and sit on the balcony with us one morning.
If you are into Alligators and Eagles visit Sawgrass Lake Park near St Petersburg, its free parking and entry. A good walk round the Boardwalks and looking carfully you may see some Alligators we were fortunate to see a 10ft one on the bank of the first lake.
Overall though a very enjoyable week a nice place to stay, the swimming pool was nice and warm and the hot tub hot. I would reccommend this Condo to friends
