Probably the most important thing we look for when vacationing is the beach. The beach at Villa Madeira is absolutely beautiful. It is expansive, clean powdery white sand.The condo was decent sized but keep in mind the third bedroom is where the washer and dryer are located. The master bedroom was very spacious and the master bath was really nice. The other bedroom had a double bed and a single with decent amount of room..When we arrived there was definitely a musty smell that persisted for the entire month we were there. There were also some maintenance and cleaning issues, but we reached out to Resort Rentals and they responded immediately so thumbs up to them!The biggest disappointment was the outdoor amenities. We were lead to believe the pool and the other outdoor gathering spaces would be usable by the time we arrived on Feb 22 (hurricane happened in October). Sadly, none of it was repaired. During the full month we were there we didnât witness any progress with the restoration of these key areas. One of the main reasons we chose Villa Madeira was for the great pool and outdoor areas. We were disappointed to say the least. It was very expensive to stay for a month but in hind sight it wasnât worth the price. I hope they succeed in restoring this feature but I would definitely recommend questioning the status before booking here.
The storm took the elevator out which made getting up and down the stairs a problem with a handicapped member of our family as well as trying to carry the suitcases up and down the stairs. They did offer to move us to another property, however it was not comparable, so we decided to just stay put.
Coffee maker was an antique fire hazard with no coffee filters provided, we bought a new coffee maker and left it for future guests.
We also left behind some nice beach towels, hopefully they will leave them for future guests.
The pool was nice and it was nice to have lounge chairs available with a view of the beach.
Balconies provided awesome views, overall a very nice place.
I went with my two adult sons and wives and had such a great time. It was relaxing, seen lots of dolphins from our balcony. The unit was clean and spacious.
We enjoyed our stay and would go back to this area again. Beach area was not crowded and condo was nice. would recommend this and hope to go back again.
Couldn't ask for much better for the price. Clean condo on the beach. Fairly quiet area. Within walking distance of several stores/restaurants. John's Pass is just down the road.
Location is ideal. Beach is beautiful. Enjoyed the pool. Unit was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. We did wish there were beach towels - if there were, we couldn't find them. And we had to drive a bit to get the keys to check it. But overall a wonderful stay.
VERY POOR as to the unit itself.
Sheets in one bedroom had sand in them (we washed them ourselves that evening). Another bedroom had hair on pillows (washed those as well that evening).
Utensils appeared dirty so we ran all that through the wash as well. Should be ashamed to charge over two hundred dollars for "cleaning service"!! One of the door keys was slightly bent/twisted so had to play with the lock every time opened or locked unit with that key. Did I mention the shower water pressure was lousy?...It was. Redeeming quality was the location on the beach. Would I rent there again?...NOT A CHANCE
The property was as advertised. It was clean and furnished. It was very inconvenient, though, for those who are flying in (with no plans to rent a car) to have to make a stop at an office 10 minutes away to pick up keys. (And vice versa) In addition, when providing a beach facility to guests⊠why would you not offer beach towels? Or why wouldn't you provide starter trash bags or starter washing detergent? Although check out time is 10am⊠the cleaning crew arrived at 915am. All these things may not seem like a big deal to the owners, but it is a real inconvenience for the renters. .
This condo is right on a beautiful beach which was very convenient! We have a toddler and this location made it very easy to just pack up and go when we were done swimming for the day. This condo is also in a great location for a lot of attractions and good food close by. It was clean all except for the area rug in the living room. I think it definitely needs shampooed or replaced. Other than that, everything was up to standard. The check in process was a bit much, as the check in office is 12 minutes away. They donât keep extra linens in the condo but they give you enough to get by for a few days and thereâs a washer and dryer available for use. We used both and they worked just fine. They didnât provide trash bags but there was a Walmart 8 minutes away. I did enjoy the convenience of the trash shoot right outside of our door. But overall I give this condo 4 stars! Thank you so much for having us.
The condo is in a great location on the beach close to Johnâs Pass and other amenities. The find is just as pictured. The third bedroom is limited by the laundry space that is also there. The kitchen is fairly appointed. The key access is inconvenient having to drive to St Pates Beach to pick up and drop off. If you have an early or late flight it is one more step before you can come or leave.
We were very impressed with the unit, neighborhood & overall stay. We did have an electrical problem but Zach from Resort Rentals came right over & had it fixed in no time. Would love to come back!!
Our stay in Unit #407 was great. It was clean and the view of the Gulf and sunsets were amazing! Nice place to get some rest and relaxation. We definitely recommend this unit and would stay here again.
The unit was nice. Great views. Well stocked. Lining provided. The third bedroom was interesting with washer and dryer behind curtain. We were aware of this because of other reviews. We made it work. Many restaurants near by. John's Pass is about a mile from the unit. The beach is pretty much private in front of the units.we made many visits to the ice cream and candy shop across the street. It was a great stay.

You couldn't ask for a better view, location, and access to beach. Everything is so convenient. Place is great. Bedding situation was unusual. Be aware that their is a twin bed in with a queen so if you are bringing 6 - and especially if there are couples one person will sleep in a room with a couple. Then one room only has a twin. We made it work and everything about the place made this small thing no big deal. Would definitely go back to this unit.
This is our 2nd stay in this condo. We love it! Condo is beautiful and well stocked. Property is well maintained and convenient to everything you need. The beach is gorgeous! You canât go wrong here!!

Overall nice unit but does need minor fixes. The bedroom layout was not exactly as advertised 1 king. 1 full 1 twin in a bedroom. Full bed in tiny room where washer and dryer are located.
Nice condo. Matched the pictures from the listing. Beach was absolutely gorgeous and the ocean is only steps away. Only complaint was the key situation...only 2 sets of keys is hard with teenagers going in different directions. Keypad entry/beach access would be much easier. But overall, great vacation!!!
We had a great stay. We really enjoyed how easy it was to get to the beach. We also enjoyed that it wasnât a huge condo complex. The only complaint is that while we were there, the roof underwent construction. It would have been nice to know this ahead and time. There was lots of construction noise. We would still stay again at this location though.

We were very happy and comfortable!Perfect location and met all of our needs.
I loved Villa Madeira. It was quiet and not busy. I did a lot of research because I was worried with Covid. I highly recommend Villa Madeira. It is a well kept property and the views are stunning. The condo was updated and fit our needs perfectly. We loved our stay and will stay at this location again. I did so much research and was so worried. This property was awesome!

Very nice. The unit was very nicely updated. The only slightly irritating issue was the kitchen faucet, which makes an excruciating loud noise when you turn it on and use at a lower pressure. The master bedroom sheets could stand to be replaced. But overall it was great!

We enjoyed our week (August 2020) in Villa Madeira 307. Everything was provided that we needed and accommodations were comfortable. Key pick up and drop off was easy. When we arrived there were a number of cleaning issues that we could have complained about but did not want to start the vacation out that way or have them come back in after we had settled in. Examples: Finger nail clippings behind living room end table. Food stain at the front door, all glass surfaces had a film from a dirty rag, razor on the floor in the master bed room by the end table. This is not the owners fault and not the end of the world, but with Covid rules we felt it could have been cleaner. We brought our own cleaning supplies and made appropriate adjustments. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable place to stay.
