Bayside Condo with Brand New Interior, Walkable to BEACH, Retail, Dining & more!
Just a stoneâs throw from Madeiraâs white powder sand BEACH and steps from the beautiful views of the Bocca Ciega BAY, this barrier island vacation retreat is perfect for the whole family, and features an IDEAL LOCATION, newly rebuilt, GROUND FLOOR accommodations that are warm, welcoming, modern and spacious, plus all of the charm youâd expect from a GATED YACHT CLUB COMMUNITY next to the ocean.
In September of 2024, the barrier island of Mad Beach (as it has been affectionately dubbed by the locals) was directly impacted by Hurricane Helene. While some ground floor units in the complex and most local businesses have reopened, some remain under reconstruction. In addition, the area is experiencing rapid growth and an influx of new development.
In the adjoining ROC park, overlooking the bay and along the stunning waterside walking path, youâll find tennis, pickle ball, basketball, baseball, yoga & fitness classes, a childrenâs playground and a splash park. Across the bay, paddle boards and kayaks are available for rent. Restaurants, bars, shops, adventure golf, and ice cream shops and bars, including the infamous Saltwater Hippie - are all within EASY WALKING DISTANCE, along with a library, dollar store, pharmacy and liquor store.
Around the complex, enjoy lounging by either of the two pristine heated pools, fish or take in a sunrise from the pier (both just steps from your door) or stroll the marina docks.
Across the road and at the beach, there is volleyball, paddle boards, dolphins and endless miles of sand and surf. Adventurers can hop on the Sun Coast Beach trolley, running from Clearwater to St.Peteâs Beach, to their destination of choice. Just a 2.3 mile ride away is JOHNâS PASS, a quaint, turn-of the century fishing village and #1 tourist attraction, where you can dolphin watch, shell, parasail, jet ski or shop to your heartâs content.
At home, youâll enter your private retreat with the convenience and security of keyless keypad access. A comfortably furnished LANAI makes the perfect spot for enjoying a peaceful moment, game night, or morning coffee at the bistro table. Prep your meals in an open CHEFâs KITCHEN that boasts gleaming stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, recessed lighting, convenient easy glide pull out cabinetry, a large dining table and additional high top counter seating. If you enjoy your meals out-of-doors, spark up your private GRILL and dine on the adjacent PATIO. The spacious central living space is an ideal family gathering spot. Every room is equipped with its own Smart TV, and a full size washer/dryer makes extra clothing unnecessary. A luxurious king memory foam mattress, large walk-in closet and private ensuite in your oversized master sanctuary offer the perfect end to the day. For sleep options beyond the master suite, the second bedroom features both a QUEEN BED and a double decker twin BUNKBED.

Beautiful location
Great beach and pool location. Very spacious we loved the two porches and two bathrooms.
Owners were very responsive with a couple of fixes that were needed.
We hope to stay again next year!

Thank you Lorraine! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to having you with us next year đďż˝
We came down for a family vacation and we absolutely loved everything about our stay. The condo was clean and a very comfortable stay for our large family. Everything we needed or wanted to do was conveniently located, from the store to the beach and other activities we enjoyed. The owner was wonderful and very communicative with us. We would definitely like to return again and would absolutely recommend this condo to others.
This was one of the best rental properties we have ever stayed at. Kitchen very well stocked . Beds very comfortable. The condo location very convenient to beach and local grocery and restaurants. I did not want to leave. . Property owner Valerie very receptive. We were here for softball tournament but we will make this a regular vacation spot for years too come!

Great location near Madeira Beach, grocery store, restaurants. Spacious unit for family of 4. Pools and gym were conveniently located and enjoyable for all. Good communication with owner and easy access to unit. Good value for money.
Only two downsides: unit lacked natural light given orientation vs other buildings in complex and there was not outdoor space with the unit as the two patios were enclosed for year round use.

Aaron, we're so glad you enjoyed the convenient location and the spacious accommodations. We hope you were able to take advantage of the all-season, courtyard-facing, glass-enclosed lanai (our personal favorite space, and one that many of the other units in the complex do not offer) as well as the beautifully landscaped outdoor patio just outside your unit... and the bayside dock just steps away. It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to see you again soon!
My husband and I decided to try this condo because my daughter and her family were trying another at the Yacht Club for a first also. We absolutely loved it. We usually rent other places but wanted to meet up with our family members. We loved it first of all because of the cleanliness, where it was located and because it was very private. These are all of the reasons we are renting again next year.

The condo is perfect for so many ways!! Great access to the beautiful beaches, quaint shopping and a plethora of food choices!! I am a local so I had to work and didnât get to enjoy the beautiful pools, but as I was leaving I saw a couple of families just arriving with everyone excited to hit the pool! Landlord is totally amazing and helped in so many ways!! I would highly recommend this cute get away!

We have rented condos at MBYC several times. This condo did not disappoint! Location was excellent, one of the piers was 80 steps from the condo. Great location for pool access.
Kitchen had everything to prepare dinner when we were up to cooking.
The ambiance was great. Plenty of comfortable seating.
Bedrooms were large, great closet space plus a large top loader washer and dryer.
Certainly would rent again from Valerie.

Great location, close walk to the beach and not far from Johns Pass. The rental had lots of space and everything we needed was provided. The kitchen is well equipped. The owner was very fast with communication. Only downside with the rental was the pool was not heated and we were there when the temps were cooler and the lack of natural sunlight that you get in the rental. However, we were rarely there in the daytime.

Hi Tina. Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed our location's easy access to so many things, and that you found the property to be well equipped. Our two beautiful pools are heated each year throughout the winter until April 3rd when seasonal Florida temperatures typically mean they are no longer required. Best wishes, and come see us again soon!
We enjoyed our stay. We were there for a swim meet in St. Petersberg and while we were farther away than we wanted we had exactly the flexibility we needed. It was a quick drive 20-30 minutes from the pool. While half the family was at the swim meet the rest of the family could enjoy the pool or walk to the beach. The accommodations were aligned with the pictures and provided everything we needed. We were able to grill at least one night which was perfect for a low key night. We ate out most nights and there were plenty of options close by. Communication with the owner was great. We will definitely consider booking again if we are back in the area.

We had a great time staying here! Liked the location and whatâs around. Although, it is a 5-10min DRIVE to Johnâs pass if you prefer to be close, not really walking distance. But lots of parking around - so not a big deal.
Appreciate the amenities - beach gear available for use. Loved being next to ball fields. Fish tacos at Snak Shop amazing! 5-10min walk to beach with kids and gear.
Only a couple of things that we were bummed by is the the hot tub out of order (which sounds like has been for awhileâ) and fitness room old and dated. Again, all good - got more time outside!
Would definitely stay here again
I stayed here with my husband and toddler for about ten days, and this location and condo was absolutely perfect. The kitchen was one of the most well stocked kitchens I've ever used. We made every single meal in this kitchen (except for two lunches out) and had everything we needed.
The beach is a ten minute walk (beach cart made this easy) and the condo has some beach toys, buckets, shovels, balls, umbrella, chairs, etc. There are a few beach towels which was plenty for us but if you had a bunch of people you'd probably need to grab a few more. There are two pools in the complex, and one is very close to the condo. They were not crowded and kid friendly. There is a free splash pad in the ROC park about a 2 minute walk from the condo, and a playground, butterfly garden, and fishing pier in the park.
Winn Dixie, CVS, and a Dollar store are within walking distance and made life so easy with a kid. We drove to Johns Pass (5 minutes away) for shopping, ice cream, etc. We drove into St Pete to do the Chihuly museum and that was only about 25 minutes away. Tampa is close (40-60 minute drive), and we flew in and out of the tampa airport.
We had a friend stay with us for a few days and we did not feel cramped at all. Parking was no problem, and we had no trouble accessing the jacuzzi and the fitness center.
Check in and check out was so easy (contactless) and we didn't really need much but when we did reach out to the owner the owner was quick and responsive. We'll for sure stay here again.

Disappointment
The location was decent however, the property itself was not. There is ZERO natural light in the condo and it feels very closed in as the ceilings are only 7-7 1/2 high. If youâre a tall person it is very uncomfortable and tight.
The bedroom with the double beds smelled like urine and the comforters were covered with some sort of dried up bodily fluid. The pots and pans are very old and what used to be silver is now black. The fridge was filled with a bin that said âownersâ and had all sorts of condiments in it. So, we were unable to use almost an entire shelf in the fridge.
One of the side rooms has mold on the ceiling and curtains. The Xbox in that same room also didnât work. The beach chairs were rusted and difficult to get opened and closed. The beach cooler bag doesn't zip and is ripped so it leaks.
The condo felt as if it was someoneâs full time residence and they quickly packed up so that we could come in. Iâm thankful that nobody in my family is allergic to cats. There is obviously a cat that lives there and that was not disclosed. For the amount of money that I paid, I feel like we were not fully informed of what we were getting (or not getting) for that price.

Bobbie, I am sorry to hear that your experience of our property was not a positive one. My husband and I ourselves spend a few weeks on-site each year, visiting with family and enjoying our two young granddaughters. We pride ourselves on sharing not just a rental property but a home-away-from-home with our guests. We also take great pride in our Premier Host status and the many glowing reviews we've received over the years.
The unit and its contents are professionally inspected prior and subsequent to each guestâs visit. This allows us to be responsive to the need for potential deep cleaning, repair and replacement. Many of the items you mention, including bedroom comforters, were newly replaced just before your stay. In this particular case, I also spoke directly with the owner of the cleaning company and while the report and photographs taken prior to your stay are satisfactory, unfortunately those following your visit are not.
For clarification, we are a ground-level condominium with 8 foot ceilings, flanked on either end by an exterior glass-enclosed lanai, one which faces a beautifully landscaped interior courtyard.
Again, I am sorry for your experience and should you wish to discuss further, please feel free to reach back to me through VRBO.
Best wishes,
Valerie
Great location for walking to everything you need.
First time to Madeira Beach for Thanksgiving. Cooked entire Thanksgiving meal here and we had everything we needed. Owner easy to communicate with. Very comfortable.
Family of 4 adults had a wonderful time at Valerieâs property it is in a great location walking distance to beach, restaurants, Bars and grocery/liquor stores. Spacious unit with everything you need for your vacation from cooking and going to beach no need to bring anything only your food and drink. Valerie was quick to respond to any inquiries I had. Definitely would recommend and would love to stay again in future.
We stayed here for 8 nights with our two teenage daughters. Itâs close to the beach and restaurants, and the two pools are very nice! The condo has plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking. We would definitely stay here again if weâre in the area!
This location was absolutely wonderful for our young family. The playground across the street was very popular with our youngest, the beach was an easy walk. Two pools available to mix it up. Everything needed was provided. We had a great stay!
Valerie and Bernieâs condo was wonderful, great location, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Everything anyone would need , fantastic location in a gorgeous condo complex. Owners were exceptionally responsive and helpful with any questions. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Valerie Willms
Hi! We're Valerie & Bernie, a former yoga teacher and business exec respectively, married more than 30 years, grandparents of 3, currently living in beautiful Charlotte, NC. Growing up in Ontario, Canada made us extremely appreciative of the 3 S's of Florida - sun, surf and sand - and we sure hope you'll enjoy your time here as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Our family has been vacationing in this hidden jewel of the Gulf for more than twenty years. Now that our gang has grown, it has it all for us all to gather and reconnect: easy to travel to, beyond beautiful, and offering everything you could ever want or need within steps of a tranquil retreat space.
What makes this property unique
Our day here often begins with a steaming cup of coffee on the dock - watching the dolphins frolic - followed by a long walk on the beach and snapping a gazillion photos of the rising sun. Usually it ends with warm skin, a margarita, one of the best sunsets in the world and the ocean blues, soft sands and tranquil greys of our inner sanctuary. There is so much here to make what happens in between entirely up to you!
