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.

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. For rental dates please contact Tammy.

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.

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.

I mean cheap as in ... 600.00 for an entire week stay. Our patio overlooked the pool. The location is perfect. It is directly across the street from the beach and the view is not obstructed. The condo is fully stocked with beach accessories, some food, games, movies etc. It is a home away from home. It also sleeps 8 people! There are no bugs in the unit that I have seen. It's exceptionally clean. It's also only a mile and a half from the boardwalk and is close to numerous other activities. There are some cute little shops within walking distance as well. The beach was very uncrowded, and relaxing. Definitely a good spot for families or anyone who likes to save on traveling. The walk to the beach isn't much different than oceanfront properties I've stayed at in the past. (Especially on the gulf side.) The price and location, is unbeatable. It was a clean area. We didn't see anything sketchy, and felt safe. There's also a dock where you can fish on their private property. We caught some fish and we didn't need a license. That was nice too. Even nicer, was that the condo had that gear too. I didn't have to pack much.

The prices are a little steep, but not horrible, the place didn't seem too busy, so I understand they've got to make ends meet.
