This cottage is wonderful. The location is excellent and the house was brand new when we visited in November. The beach is just steps away and the boardwalk is just across the street. We'll definitely be back...
Super cute space with great kitchen and laundry amenities. Excellent walkability score, short stroll to beach, shops, entertainment and dining. Host was very responsive and provided extras including beach chairs and supplies. Highly recommend.
Perfect location loved sitting outside in the evening.Listening to the bar band across the street.Close to everything cute little cottage would return again and again
This property is perfect for a small family to visit Madeira Beach!

Glad you loved the cottage! It really is a special place and I'm happy you were able to enjoy it with your family. I hope you can make another visit soon.
My family and i enjoyed our trip at the beach. We especially enjoyed this cottage at the pass. The location is excellent and the property is like staying in your home away from home. Truly recommend staying here and we will return again in the future.

It makes me so happy to know that your family had a great time at my cottage. I hope you're planning your next visit real soon.
This place is great for two couples or a small family. Just a block from a wonderful beach, with white sands and across the street from all the shops and restaurants of John’s Pass. The house had everything we needed and then some.

About the host
Hosted by Vicinity Vacation Rentals
Cherie grew up in South Tampa and always had a love for the beach. Traveling the 20 or so miles to the beach every weekend when she was attending Plant High School. Eventually she moved to Madeira Beach where she owns a real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers Madeira Beach. Finest Real Estate Worldwide! She also owns a vacation rental management company Vicinity Vacation Rentals.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property from the long-time owner because I just love the classic beach cottages. I promised her that I would keep the integrity of the cottage, and not tear it down for a new home to be built. The bonus is the wonderful location. The Cottage by the Pass is the epitome of living the beach life.
