Awesome stay! Highly recommended!…read more We needed a quiet, relaxing vacation where we could bring our dog. Island Paradise delivered. The couple who owns them is super nice and so helpful with our visit. The cottages are nice and you can tell some well-thought effort went into updating them. Everything there was quiet. The pool was nice and the tiki hut made for a nice place to chat with fellow relaxers. The beach is a short five minute walk. With a less-than ten minute walk, you're at John's Pass with shopping, restaurants and bars. We had planned on going to other places while visiting, but we barely left the radius around the cottages.

The villas are perfect for staying for a longer time and everything you could wish for in a kitchen is there. It is extremely clean, very beautifully decorated and just perfect. The hosts (june and Bill) are so friendly and helpful that we felt like family when we left. The other people staying there were also extremely nice and the atmosphere was wonderful. This was supported by the tradition that everybody staying there would gather for a glass of wine or a drink at around 5 in the afternoon in the tiki-hut. Even though we were the only ones with children we felt so welcome. I would love to go there again and I am sure that we would feel just as welcome the next time. We stayed in Villa Paradiso, which was the largest of the villas, but I also saw the inside of some of the other villas and they looked just as nice. The beach was a short 3 min walk from the cottages and John's Pass was around 5-10 minutes away when walking.

The hotel provides everything you need for a relaxing day at the beach, chairs, towels and umbrellas. Our room was spotless and had a fully kitchen equipped with everything we needed to prepare a meal, coffee and teas as well. We also had table and chairs on our veranda. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly. Bikes are available if you are inclined. The Inn provides 5 star accommodations with a more intimate feel. I definitely recommend if you are thinking of staying in Pass A Grill.

Over the top rating of excellence in customer service award goes to Betty Thomas, Rental Manager of…read moreGulf Strand. She's one lady that gets things done for the best of her customers and for the company. We've had the pleasure of staying at Gulf Strand for many years now and every time we need anything, in booking our stay or during our stay, Betty is right there to assist and does it with such ease and always comes through with glowing results. During our last stay, we had a family emergency back home and had to leave within hours, stressed and frustrated but there was Betty to help in our time of need and made our early departure a win-win for everyone. Betty takes her job to heart and it shows and is greatly appreciated. She is one amazing lady and is a pure asset to Gulf Strand. Another 5 star rating goes out to Janusz, the maintenance man at Gulf Strand, he's there early everyday to make sure the grounds are kept clean and everything is in its place, a job that just happens when people aren't out and about. Gulf Strand is always in tip-top shape and it shows. Great people Gulf Strand and they deserve to be recognized !

I want to warn others unless you want a college frat house party room, room 50 is probably not for you. Unit 29 is absolutely delightful! Spacious room with retro decor and dishes. It reminded me of my childhood. Large living/ dining area with a partial ocean view. King size bed with a huge closet for storage. Those of you that love a fan, the bedroom has a fan over the bed on the ceiling! It was wonderful!! Everything you need is here! I would love to stay here again. I'd also like to mention the house & ground keepers were excellent and friendly. The place is really kept up nicely.

I've been to the Caprice several times and will not return until pool rules are somewhat enforced.

Only room complaint was you can hear the elevator everytime it goes up and down, but if you walk enough miles on the beautiful clean beach your head will hit the pillow and you will be so fast asleep you won't even hear it. You can see a smidgen of the Gulf from the balcony also!!! The pool was sparkly and clean but a tish cool for us. The staff was helpful and nice. The availability of luggage carts, grocery cart for hauling things up was so nice. Within walking distance to all our favorite restaurants...Skidders, Snappers, Baracuda, and Willys. Stay here you won't regret it.

There is a washer and dryer. 3 bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an amazing view of the ocean from both the huge master bedroom and the living room. To get to the beach you just walk through the garage. At the end of the garage is a gate to a huge pool area with a hot tub. Walk pass the hot tub and there is a private gate to the beach. You can only get on the beach if you know the code to the gate which means not to crowded. The beachfront is raked every morning and has a sheriff that drives a 4 wheeler on the beach so you feel very safe. Then there is the clear blue water. As we sat on our huge balcony we were able to enjoy some dolphins playing in the water. At the front of the condo across the street is a few great restaurants. Then there's Johns Pass that has lots of shops along with any kinds of water activity you can think of. I can think of no better place to visit than Madeira beach.

ZERO STARS, or even negative if that is at all possible. I hope someone gets to see this review…read morebecause the owners have now taken their rental off VRBO after I emailed them explaining our issues and letting them know I would be leaving a bad review. We stayed here in September 2020. This listing was very misleading. We really thought we were renting a home with a private pool and instead it was a "resort" with 7 other units sharing the facility. This house is extremely tacky and outdated. The AC took 2 of the 3 days of our trip to start cooling down and 1 room had a broken AC and we were never notified prior to arrival. There was a loud AC machine in the room with a tube coming out of the window and several large cockroaches and palmetto bugs came in due to the opening. Some even crawled out of the "clean" towels. I reached out prior to booking to ask about our trailer and 24ft boat and paid extra for a spot. We arrived and they said no a 24ft trailer wouldn't fit and then for the first few hours we had to try and figure out what we were going to do. They found a "solution" and had us park our trailer in a nearby parking lot off a dark alley that was supposedly their friends. We were worried the whole time that it was going to get stolen. They didn't refund what we paid to park the trailer, instead made it seem like they were doing us a favor by not charging us more to have it in their friend's lot. Then they charged us for our 2nd car to park in the original spot that our trailer was supposed to fit in which was the size of a compact car or motorcycle space. They should've comped that due to this fiasco. It rained a lot, it's FL, we know, but we couldn't even walk to our cars with shoes on because of their entrance being flooded and having no drainage. Our biggest issue - THE DOCK.....DO NOT BRING YOUR BOAT!!!! They told us to bring bumpers which we did but there were huge bolts sticking out of the dock everywhere. Our 2 month old boat got ruined in the front and I've attached a photo to show the damage. It's outrageous that they charge extra for the docking when their set up was that bad. I hope this review helps someone not make the mistake we made. FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO RENT, you will be so happy that you did!

Yup, this one let's you use their parking, the use of the pool and the private access to the beach, which is located in the less commercialized areas so you don't have to worry about all the tourists... okay, just a little who are staying there but nothing like Clearwater (close to where I live). You still need to check in and get parking passes so don't get any ideas of just parking here and using the amenities, you'll need a wrist band like everywhere else but it is nice to have a connection here to enjoy lazy days!
