Cute condo

Overall we enjoyed our stay! Couple of quirks. The outlet in the bathroom was weird. We didn’t end up getting in the pool, was fairly warm but not super clean. Check in was a little annoying. We were told our code would be sent to us by 3, and we had to contact them to get our code around 3:30. But super cute and the bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft.

Lovely cottage; great location

This was our first time in Madeira Beach and we weren’t disappointed. This cottage was cute and cozy and very clean. Great communication with property owner and manager. Super location to the beach (literally across the street) and close to restaurants, John’s Pass, etc. Highly recommend! We had a great time.
