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.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at 349 Surf Song! The view was definitely what we were paying for when…read moreit came to the unit. There were so many things within walking distance, it was wonderful. We especially enjoyed John's Pass being right across the street! While 349's kitchen had almost everything you could think of (minus potholders) and the decorations were very cute...there were general issues with unit 349 at Surf Song. The building does seem to be dated and the narrow hallway to our unit very much reminded me of what you may find in a youth hostel. Despite rainwater being Directed into the parking garage, we were very grateful 349 had a covered parking spot! The two full sized beds in the bedroom were extremely uncomfortable and one was used to the point where it had completely sunk down in the middle. It was incredibly painful to try and get out of the bed and please note I do NOT have back issues! While we could tell they definitely clean and work very hard at it... The top quilt/comforter on the bed closest to the bathroom was stained by what looked like blood. The rug under the dining room table had a very similar blood stain, as well. Even more offensive was the fact there were two full beds stuffed into the one room, with one essentially in the doorway of the bathroom... yet no fan! It would really be best if they exchange the two beds for one large bed and install a bathroom fan! Up to four people with only one smelly bathroom is no one's idea of fun! Also, if up to four people can fit in the room, why is there only one, shared nightstand without any drawers? Despite there being a rule against smoking on the patios listed on the paperwork they gave us, people were allowed to smoke - outside only. It was very disheartening when we simply wanted to sit or dine outside and enjoy the amazing view we most likely overpaid for but we were forced to inhale second hand smoke instead. We were also puzzled by the lack of overhead lighting. The lamps were fairly dim and one didn't even have a bulb. We thought maybe it had to do with the sea turtles. However, no one seemed to be concerned about the rules regarding not leaving holes in the sand, refraining from using lights on the beach at night and picking up your trash (especially plastic materials) in order to help the sea turtle population, so go figure. We really didn't watch TV too much, but both were positioned in a way where it was impossible to see from the left side when looking at each. We loved the chaise and wish the second, which was part of the couch, had been usable for watching TV. Both seemed like ideal places to take a nap, especially with the soft, yellow blanket on the cream chaise. Hopefully, the blanket is washed between visits as it looked like it might have had a stain or at least remnants of one. Please note on days with nice weather the beach can be very crowded. We recommend walking the beach to avoid the crowds to some extent, but be careful! It got to a point where we were picking up trash because we were sick of looking at it. Thankfully, Surf Song had recycling bins for all the plastic we found and there were bins on the beach itself! The staff were very sweet and we love the area enough that we are planning on moving. Though, we are unsure about staying at Surf Song again when we're visiting for vacation.

This is the management company for MADEIRA NORTE and this review is to warn any travelers…read moreconsidering Madeira Norte that the management and maintenance is extremely sub-par in this building. Closing the pool is apparently a regular thing here as well as extremely slow elevators (one of which didn't even work).

This is the best AirBnB I've ever stayed in. Many times you are stuck far from the fun, or pay out…read morethe ass, but this is neither. This is right in the middle of all the action. All the bars and restaurants are stumbling distance, you're on the bay with a great view, and you're just across the street from a bank access. While the other peasants are stuck on the beach, you can go back to this incredible place at any time during the day if you need a break from the beach or your annoying aunt. We price shopped Thunderbirds and a few other "resorts" but this was a much better deal on price, and you get a much better stay in the end. Martin responded within minutes, or seconds, maybe instantly to any questions we had. Phenomenal host.

Run away fast!!!!!…read more We dealt with Debbie. She told us to send her for a check for a two bedroom ground floor condo (there were four of us, and I just had a total knee replacement and could not do stairs). She cashed our check, and then sent us an email verifiying the dates - 01/27/24 thru 03/02/24. Even the parking pass she issued said these dates. All was ok until Wednesday 2/21 when she called us and told us we had to be out by 10 am on Saturday, 2/24 as she rented the condo to someone else starting on that day. We were floored so we went to her office. We showed her the email she sent use verifying the dates and she said she did not care, it did not matter what we had we had as the unsigned and unsent contract she printed off in front of us said different dates, we were just out of luck, and that it was our fault because we didn't ask for a contract. We thought the email and the cashed check were our receipt/contract. We had no idea they required a signed contract - if that is their policy, why did they give us the key without one? She was extremely rude and unprofessional and unwilling to help or listen. We spent an entire day of our vacation looking for somewhere to stay and we found a place to the tune of $2500 on our charge card. Debbie did offer to rent us a second/third floor one bedroom condo with 2 flights of steps. Legally, can they do this? I have never experienced anything like in my life. Trying not to let this ruin our time, but.....
