We have rented condos and beach houses at other places in the area before but this place takes the cake! Your own dock/pool with friendly birds that come by to hang, literally footsteps to our favorite Bamboo Beach Bar as well as everything else John's Pass has to offer and a spacious and clean place, as well. Bonnie, next door, was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay and Beverly is very responsive. We can't wait to come back! ##### Angelika B.

You couldn't be any closer to Johns pass and basically right behind the Bamboo Beach (Tiki) bar, the location is fantastic. We were a little concerned about the walk to the beach, but it is an easy 5 min walk across gulf blvd with a public access right across the road. We spent a couple of days just hanging in the peaceful backyard with the pool and dock which was very relaxing and refreshing. We saw dolphins on 2 different days in the marina right off the dock. Beverly was very responsive and Bonnie was available for anything we needed. We would 100% stay here again. ##### Ben S.

We found the place exactly as promised, clean, well stocked kitchen, full laundry, walking distance to the beach, walking distance to shops/restaurants and very friendly and helpful staff. Live music next door was very inviting. Our boys (4 & 7) enjoyed seeing George the blue heron who visited daily as well as a few of the bananas hanging over the fence. We saw a dolphin right off the pier and had much success catching fish as well. The pool was well cared for and perfect for our boys. We would definitely recommend this to a couple or a small family such as ours, (just one bedroom.) ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great place for the right people. We enjoyed our stay. Some people may not like the fact that across the street is the back end of a restaurant with live music. A couple nights there was music until 10 and 11pm. We did not mind because we enjoyed the bands. If someone wanted peace and quiet at 9pm, they would not be happy here Also right across the street were the many many shops of John’s Pass. We enjoyed walking through the shops and restaurants so close. And of course having close access to Madiera Beach was very nice. One minor issue was trouble getting a consistently strong wifi signal. We were busy enough it did not matter. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larry C. 27 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Place To Stay This is a great unit for one or two people. I traveled alone so it was perfect. The location to John's Pass is perfect. The backyard with the inground pool makes this place a gem. The views are incredible. The dock on the intercoastal is great to pass the time. The beach is across the street. Plenty of nightlife, stores, restaurants and more all in walking distance. A few minor recommendations would be there is no umbrella or shade covering the table set on the dock. This makes it almost impossible to eat outside on the dock with the Florida sun. Also, there is really no exterior lights near the pool for night time swimming. There is a flood light on the dock but it's super bright and isn't really ideal for lighting the pool. ##### Larry C.
