Great location! Beach is an easy walk and shops and restaurants are right across the street. Our upstairs unit was perfect for the 2 of us. We will definitely stay again.
What a darling little place and a perfect location. Right across the street from John's Pass and walking distance to the beach. (It's a bit of a walk though) All in all, a perfect weekend place. I would certainly go back.
We had an amazing stay! Cherie was great we got there earlier than check in and she was very accommodating by letting us get into the cottage early. The cottage is centrally located with a minimal walk to the beach and across the street from the boardwalk. We will definitely be back!! I would highly recommend staying here!
You are exceptionally close to dining, shopping and entertainment if you want or being on the upper back deck, which is partially covered, allows you casual, relaxing down time. And the beach is hardly a minute away. The best of all worlds!!
Cute cottage steps to johns pass and beach great balcony great air conditioner washer dryer in unit was great beach chairs and umbrellas to use as well pack your own toiletries and dish soap and washing machine soap everything else is provided
Once you're there you do not have to move the car! Except to go to Publix. Very nice studio for two adults. Large balcony with a peek a boo view of the ocean!
This property is just across the street from our favorite tiki bar and you can enjoy the live music in the fenced front yard or the private balcony in the back that you can see the water and beach as you sup your morning coffee. John's Pass boardwalk is across the road with all its little shops and pubs and restaurants. Plenty of boat cruises and beaches. So much to see!
Super cute and clean unit, with a full kitchen that has everything you need to prepare meals, including a gas grill outdoors. We especially enjoyed sitting on the huge back deck in the morning. Walking distance to EVERYTHING, including the beach. We rarely used our car while we were here! Air conditioner works great and the bed is super comfy! We'll be back!
I was visiting my daughter who was transferred to Macdill AFB in Tampa. The location of Cottage on the Pass was excellent. Not to far from anything. 35 min. to Tampa. I stayed 4 nights. I became comfortable
rright away. It was a 3 minute walk to the ocean. I hated to leave. Cherie was great. I would love to stay here in the future. Just for a longer period of time next time.
Thank you so much !

We completely enjoyed our stay! Location is steps from restaurants, shops, and the beach! Mornings on the balcony with coffee were great. The unfortunate hurricane damage to nearby buildings afforded us a clear view of the gulf and sunsets. We would absolutely stay again!

Great cottage.
We have stayed here twice before and always enjoy it. Very close to the beach and has everything you need.
Comfortable, no-frills stay for one or a couple. Easy access to beach as well as restaurants and shopping at John’s Pass. Handy parking, nice deck and patio with grill. A few basic items that would be helpful: kitchen linens, basic storage containers and hand soap.

It was just what we needed peace and quiet.
The cottage is beautiful perfect get away for two. Very convenient just a walk away from the beach and local shopping n dining. Nice and clean.
Look forward to coming back.
Cottage is the perfect location to live like a local at Madeira Beach. Close to shopping, dining, entertainment, and most importantly, the beautiful white sandy beach.
