Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Sandy Shores during March for almost 10 years. Although those stays have been wonderful, we were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness this year. The carpeting was dirty and the furniture was stained. We are hoping this was a temporary problem and will be taken care of.

Dreams do come true

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We where of course worried about the red tide. But from the moment we arrived and until the moment we left everything was amazing. The condo and the view was wonderful. The pool was refreshing and the walk to the beach was only a few steps away. The water was clear the entire time we where there. The walk across to John’s Pass was short and we enjoyed the shops & restaurants. Since we are members of the VFW that was a plus. We would recommend this unit to others and I did bring some brochures home with us. Sandy Shores was the perfect location.

So, so place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The building itself needs alot if TLC. The elevator is very slow, hit and dirty. It broke down twice while we were there. The shower by gate coming in off Beach doesn't work. The walls, especially 5th floor are in need of a good cleaning. The room itself was ok. The loveseat was broke, not enought pots and pans, unfortunately there was a cockroach in the kitchen.

Sandy shores

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just ok. Disappointed, two cockroaches in the condo freaked me out. Reported it to the office at Sandy Shores they said that is normal after they do their usual maintenance/ bug spray. Curtains need to be cleaned/changes dirty. The couch needs to be changes not at all comfortable. Did like the recliner(the best) and the view of the gulf was great. In all the years (6) we have been coming to Maderia Beach this was the most disappointing. We always stayed at Beach Place but for 2024 couldn’t” get a condo so we opted for Sandy Shores, the elevator terrible wait time terrible. I would rate Beach Place much better although some of there condos have there own issues. There is a lot of much needed improvement fr the owners to up date furniture/decorations in both places.

Girls trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Came for a ladies trip last minute. We found this condo and it was perfect! Room was clean and roomy! Perfect location across from John’s pass...we walked over to eat one night and a couple times to shop or to grab coffee or ice cream! Condo was close to beach which was great! Pool was big and we always saw pool guy cleaning the chairs and the deck from sand! Very secure with codes to get on elevator and to pool and beach. Super quiet bc sits back off road so you don’t hear all the traffic to John’s pass. Would definitely rent again!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There was no hot water in kitchen sink. Also, would like a partial refund as the pool heater was broken the whole time we were there, that is the reason we stayed there as I was there last year and loved the pool. More towels would be appreciated. Otherwise, it was very good.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been staying in Madeira Beach for many years and this was one of the cleanest Condos we’ve ever stayed in. The beds were comfortable, the pool and surrounding chairs and tables were always clean and tidy. This is a very nice unit. The only complaints we had was the lack of kitchen supplies such as a crockpot and mixer - for those who like to cook on their vacation and the elevator was very slow and could use updated.Otherwise, great stay!

Thanksgiving visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice condo. Very good communication with SunHost.Elevator slow but got used to it. Pool very nice, too. People there friendly!TV situation was not the best. Only cable, with no box, so no guide and hard to change channels. Had maintenance there for that issue, great guy! The best things were the location across the street from John's Pass, no car needed, and the view was crazy beautiful! Beds comfy. Clean. Good recliner! Wifi good. Could use some new fry pans. Used grill, also clean. Wish they would offer a repeat guest discount but will stay again. John's Pass was a great destination walk each day.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo is a little dated and dingy.. especially the bathroom! We needed to use the pull out couch but there were no linens included and the mattress was terribly thin and uncomfortable so we bought a blow up mattress instead. The view from the Condo can’t be beat.. it’s a corner unit so you have the added bonus of a view from the window when inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would book the same unit again.
