Imagine waking to the sound of the ocean from our 6th floor, beach-front condo! Right on Madeira Beach, our condo complex has a heated pool, hot tub, shuffleboard court, tiki hut and a large barbeque grill. Experience true on-the-beach living!

Luxuriate in a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine from the 30 foot long balcony which spans the length of the condo. Access the balcony from both the living room and master bedroom so everyone can truly appreciate the breathtaking ocean views and spectacular sunsets. You might even get to see the elusive "green flash" as the sun settles below the horizon.

Madeira Beach, which the locals call Mad Beach, stretches in front of our condo which we lovingly call La Playa Loca. Enjoy the 180 degree view of the Gulf of America.

Our 4th time staying here and we’re always excited to return. The condo is clean, well maintained and has everything you need for a wonderful relaxing vacation. You never tire of the amazing views from the balcony. Scott and Laurie are great hosts who are thoughtful and responsive. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Thank you Scott and Laurie for sharing LPL.

A Home Away from Home! My wife and I traveled to Scott and Laurie's beautiful "La Playa Loca" with our son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. We were amazed at how clean, organized and stocked their condo was. Their detailed instructions and hospitality went beyond our expectations. Their spacious balcony had an ocean view and a beautiful seating area. We enjoyed the ample amenities available to us, such as the condo pool, beach toys and chairs, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and all the coffee and spices imaginable. Scott and Laurie definitely take pride in their beautiful vacation home. We will definitely be returning to this condo with our family in the future!

Would not stay anywhere else. Scott and Laurie are wonderful hosts. Condo is clean, location is perfect, property is well maintained. Beach closet is FULLY stocked!! Plenty of beach towels provided as well. This year, my great niece used the pack n play and high chair that Scott and Laurie thoughtfully provide for guests. They anticipate and prepare for all types of guests. Plenty of restaurants to walk to, short drive/ beach ride(taxi) or trolley ride to John’s pass. Plenty of grocery stores, CVS, Walmart, mini golf, or chain restaurants ( if you choose) all very close as well. Looking forward to next May!

The perfect condo on Madeira beach

When I read reviews I want simple details like was it clean, are the beds comfortable, were the beach chairs nice. I thought the reviews were too good to be true, but they are not! This has been the best place we have ever stayed. Why, because Scott and Laurie have made their place so comfortable. Yes the location is perfect for viewing amazing sunsets,walks on the beach and pool time but it’s the little things like a kitchen with everything, a bathroom closet filled with all you need and another closet filled with great beach chairs, umbrellas and more. The decor is beautiful and the beds are comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

Spring 2025

Our family has enjoyed this property many times in the past. We were delighted to come again this year for a longer stay. Our adult kids were able to come for a few days too. The location is perfect for relaxing, enjoying the pool and beach, and dining in a variety of places. The hosts are great communicators and have a wonderful place they are happy to see visitors enjoy. We've been a variety of vacation rental and the hospitality shown here is unmatched! We hope to continue returning in the future as an escape from the cold. Nothing beats sun on your face and sand in your toes!

Family Vacation

My husband and I are recently retired and decided to spend 2 weeks at this property . The owners Laurie and Scott are by far the best hosts I have ever come across. Their communication etc. is top notch . The property was stocked with everything you could possibly want including beach chairs, wagon, umbrellas, beach toys etc. They had plenty of laundry soap, coffee, spices etc. The location was perfect. We decided not to rent a car and we were able to walk to many restaurants, John’s Pass, the grocery store, CVS, and the convenience store. We took the trolley to St Pete and did take an Uber a couple of times after our daughter and 2 grandsons joined us. There was even a wonderful miniature golf within walking.Highly recommend.Thank you again Laurie and Scott
