Perfect Beach Location

Beautiful roomy condo in a perfect location at the beach! Loved the extra-large patio where we could enjoy the view, tan in the sun, and watch the sunset everynight!

Amazing deck!

The extended balcony/deck is amazing. We sat out every morning for hours looking at the best view around. The condo also has very easy beach access. The water, sand and beach was perhaps the best we have ever encountered in many years of travel. The furniture was good and kitchen well appointed. The king bed could use an update. The property managers were exceptional dealing with an intermittent issue. A five-star experience!

Best deck we ever had. Great location. Very nice condo. Would definitely recommend

The location was in the center of everything. The deck was amazing and had so many different areas to eat and relax. The deck was the best part of the condo. The condo was nice with good furniture. The one negative was that the dishwasher silverware bin needed to be replaced and apparently the guests before us either didn't run dishwasher or didn't use soap as all of the dishes and silver were pretty disgusting. We had to wash everything by hand once we took out of the dishwasher. However, there were so many good things about the condo that we would definitely recommend and would also like to rent this place again.

Ocean Sands 1-306. Not the unit I originally reserved. Replacement unit for the original which was being remodeled. Thank you, to I-trip. This is definitely an upgrade. Beautiful, spacious unit. Clean. I really only have one gripe, needs more dish towels. Definitely not anything to minus stars for. Balcony is huge, could probably just live out here. Comfortable beds, and furniture. Everything works. Really a super nice condo. Thanks again to I-trip. Always responsive to messages. Only company I'll use.

Madeira Beach 2022Vacation

We loved this two bedroom condo. The very large deck looked out to the ocean. We ate all of our meals outside with the ocean in the background. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the condo. All three tvs were large. The cable and WiFi gave us many options for inside entertainment! Our vehicle was given a parking spot in the first level parking garage. We had rolling carts to help get luggage and groceries up to our condo. This condo is in walking distance to get groceries and a short drive to Clearwater. We were only a 4 minute drive to John’s Pass where we enjoyed Wave runners, parasailing, dolphin tour, shopping and eating! Our teenage grandsons had a great time. It is usually hard to get them away from their gaming systems. Here, they had a blast. We will definitely look to book this condo for our next family vacation to Madeira Beach!

Should have had discounted rates

We were made aware of the possibility of construction noise, but not that the conditions around the building and parking areas and elevator were dangerous. Storm damage had not been mitigated enough to allow for safe access to parking, elevators, or beach. Poorly lit parking and “lobby” until a couple of steps in when the motion sensor would detect. Questionable person in an altered state loitering at elevator during bad weather one evening. Debris and random sharp objects sticking up from around parking and walking areas leading to beach,equipment blocking parking. Pool was not only closed and full of sand but also surrounded by barriers. We were not informed when I inquired about the pool, specifically.Floors left our bare feel black, toilets moldy, freezer moldy, not enough furniture inside or out for a party of 4 to recline comfortably. Had to move 1/2 of outdoor sectional in and out from balcony daily. Door combo pad started to faulted last couple of days of stay. Forgot to report. I’m sure it would have been addressed quickly if I had. Toilet repair was done within same day of notification.But, property was not in safe rental order. I would have cancelled if I’d known what I know now. A discount surely would have helped.

Beautiful Condo

We stayed at the Ocean Sands condo unit 306 for 2 weeks, it was a beautiful unit, had a bit of attention to detail put into this condo, I would have rated this a 5 star condo. Pros would be that the check in was super easy as we arrived at midnight, and just needed a code to punch in in order to open the unit, no keys necessary. Unit was HUGE, much larger than we expected, walk in closet was huge, balcony was enormous, rooms were a great size. Kitchen is amazing, decor was very tasteful, and had plenty of towels, washer and dryer was my favorite part of this condo, very handy. We were on the 3rd floor which was perfect, facing the beach, just perfect. We had covered parking which was amazing, and the location is great, this was our 3rd visit to Madeira. The cons would be, that the cleaning crew missed a few important things; coffeepot was not cleaned, we went out and bought a new one, ice machine on fridge was filthy, and the dusting was ok to say the least. Stupid things like there was a plant/bamboo decoration thingie on the dining room table, for example that was full of dust and had floating moldy water. It was not a big deal, but when we pay for a stunning condo like this, these are things that should not be missed. Beach equipment was the worst we've had on our trips down here, and we have rented less fancy condos. There were only 2 beach chairs and one was broken, and there were 2 raggedy looking umbrellas. Also. little things like Saran wrap, aluminum foil, kitchen stuff was missing, cups were old and had permanent scratches on bottom, looked like stained milk. Mattress in the master bedroom should be replaced, I reported most of these issues to the person we booked with through itrip and no one ever got back to me. I would definitely stay at this condo again though.

Amazing Balcony!!!!

Although there’s room for improvement with the cleaning crew, our stay was wonderful. The patio is AMAZING!! It’s shaded until about 1:00 PM, so we spent every morning our there, eating breakfast and playing cards. Getting ready to book again for next year.

Florida after a long wait…

The condo is well equipped and in a great position on the beach with a pool. It has everything you’d want to have a self catering holiday. The outside patio is the best feature and allows you eat al fresco and enjoy the sunsets. A great place to stay

It was amazing place to stay.

We were thrilled on our how comfortable the condo was. It had everything we needed to cook our meals and relax at the beach. We saw dolphins playing every day from the amazing balcony and sunset that were breathe takings. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for two weeks.

Beautiful condo in a great location!

Absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Sands 306. It was clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed for our 3 week stay. We didn’t rent a car and loved that we had so many options within walking distance. Winn Dixie grocery store and liquor store was a block away. Great restaurant and bar choices right across the street. Spent a lot of time on the amazing deck with beautiful views of the Gulf from the living room and master bedroom. I couldn’t have been happier with the condo and location.

Madeira Beach condo

Property location was right on beach. The large patio was the best part of the condo. Spent most of our day enjoying the view from the patio. Some of the inside furniture could use some refreshing. A few maintenance issues upon arrival were quickly resolved by iTrip rental company. Enjoyed the various seafood restaurants in walking distance from condo.

Great property with an amazing view.

The three of us selected this nice condo because of the huge deck overlooking the ocean. We chose to book three weeks, ending with just over a week of vacation for one of us. Everything was as advertised. The first week and a half were delightful, with breakfast on the deck and sunsets in the evening, but we observed that part of the building was being painted, with scaffolding hanging from the roof. On Thursday of the second week (the day before the vacation began) we were told that we would have to remove all of the furniture (a lot) from the deck. Some of it had to come into our unit, so we had less room, and no longer had access to the deck. In addition, a scaffold was delivered to the deck, spanning its entire width, and plastic wrap was taped over all of the windows with ocean views. (The painting crew did cut out an opening across the living room door, which allowed us to see out, but the view was blocked by the scaffold!) We were told that the work should take two or three days, but was finished in about a week. That left a few days for us to enjoy the vacation time, except that in the interim, the air conditioning failed! That meant trying to live, sleep and work with temperatures in the eighties, open windows and doors (without screens), and traffic noise. When we informed iTrip of the problems, the response was timely. In fact, we were visited by several people who tried to determine the cause of the air conditioning failure. Of course, the painting could not be changed, and unfortunately the air conditioning problem was a bad compressor. iTrip offered us the option of a week’s extension at no additional cost, which we considered to be reasonable and relatively simple for all involved. We hadn’t anticipated that the entire week would be without air conditioning because the compressor was not available because of the Virus. We found this out the day we left. None of this was within the control of either the owner or iTrip, and although the timely responses were appreciated, we weren’t kept informed of progress or lack thereof, daily expecting a knock at the door to tell us that the air conditioning was being fixed. All in all, we felt that the owner and iTrip were cooperative, but that communication could have been much better. Assuming that things are now functioning properly, this is a super nice place to stay.

Heaven on earth

Can’t say enough about the beauty of this place. It is our favorite in the area and we have come for several years. The location is wonderful; simple access to trolley but also close enough to walk to a few restaurants. The facility is well maintained and never disappoints. Maintenance and management personnel were friendly.
