Great Summer place at the beach
I highly recommend this cute cottage if you're looking for a place to stay close to the beach. It's clean and has everything you need for a beach vacation. Just a short walk across the street to Madiera beach. My husband and I plan on another vacation here again!

Charming little cottage, great location
Short walk to John's Pass. Nice little fenced in yard for the dog. Very comfortable place to stay. The host was very gracious and easy to deal with. (Please note that the local beaches are not dog friendly, but many bars and restaurants in the area are dog friendly. The nearest dog beach is De Soto Park).

Loved The Cottage & Location
Adorable cottage easy walking distance to beach and many other amenities. Clean, comfortable, quite, safe and had everything available. Beds were very comfortable and back yard was nice size for our dogs. The pictures posted of exterior are not current as neither the front or the back yards are as tree filled or green spaced as shown, but still worked just fine for us. We never left our dogs alone in rear yard as the gates were not secure enough, just to let others know. We loved staying here and will absolutely come again!!!

Awesome location
Awesome, perfect location. 2 min walk to the beach, the house had a good selection of beach equipment also. 10 min walk to Johns Pass. The house is on the small side, was OK for 2 adults and 2 kids. Owners were quick to respond to questions and easy to work with. Would definitely visit again just for the location.

Cute cottage
This cottage is so cute - it has a vintage feel. It’s not very big but it had everything we needed. I wouldn’t recommend it for more that 4 people. Everything you could want for the beach was provided; umbrellas, coolers, chairs, floaters and wagons to cart it all to the beach. The location is fantastic! A short two block walk to the beach. Cute neighborhood. The only minor complaint is that it smelled a bit like smoke, especially the beach towels for some reason. I will definitely book again if I return to Madiera Beach!.

Loved it
It was a very nice little cottage and a quiet neighborhood. Walking distance To the beach and I mean, super close. The cottage, could Use a little updating but everything is there and it is nicely Labeled so you are able to find everything. John was awesome. We had an issue with my husband's dialysis machine. And he was very understanding and allowed us to check out a little late. We will be going back again. Oh, and no bugs! I did not have to worry about insect repellent at all. I honestly wish we could have stayed longer or bought the property LOL that's how much i loved it!

Cozy Cottage
This cottage was perfect for me and my 2 teenage kids. The shed with the beach equipment made our beach days so easy and convenient! We did make a Walmart stop for some goggles and a few extras to leave for the next guests! Thank you so much for an easy hassle free stay, it could not have gone smoother! Will definitely be checking this out again on our next Florida vacation!

Great location, dog friendly
It’s always super important to us that our dogs are able to vacation with us. Usually this means a less desirable location or less clean place. This house is a in a great location and clean. This was our first time at the big house as last time we stayed at the little house. Both times were great!

We had a fabulous time visiting Madeira beach and staying at the Cozy Cottage! The house was stocked with all we could need and the fenced backyard was perfect for our dog. Easy, short walk to the beautiful beach and short walk to John's Pass too! The owner was so helpful when I had a question about the TV. Cottage was clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again!

Christmas at the beach
We loved this place overall. Cute, spacious and centrally located. The bungalow could use some updating with kitchen supplies and newer furniture, but the beds were comfy. We were sorry that the weather didn’t allow us to avail of all the fun beach equipment supplied in the shed. Plenty of parking and the addition of the optional 1 bedroom bungalow add on made it perfect for our family.

1st retirement trip/remote work
Location, location, location. 2 blocks from the front door to the waters edge. 1 block off main drag (loud) and 1st St. is quiet. Love older, unique cottages and this one fit the bill. Picked the larger cottage because Lori worked part of the trip and it gave us plenty of room for everything. Plenty of room for 4 adults. The back patio, beach items, and the W/D were nice to have. Easy area to walk with plenty of eating, bars, and shopping within 1 mile. Lisa’s for brunch, Sweet Brewnet for coffee, & Dockside Dave’s for grouper. John was quick to respond before traveling, check in was simple, and we had no worries during our week stay. Would love to come back again. Beach was quiet, 1st St. was quiet, and John’s cottage was just right. Only problem was having to go back home to cold and snow.

Still a great place
This was our second stay at this property and still remains a "Highly Recommended". The cottage is very close to the beach and everything you need to cart it there is on hand, so makes for a great day long beach day or a quick walk to watch a spectacular sunset. The owner is a strong plus responding quickly to any questions and providing help resolving any issues. Example: Last trip we noted the bathroom had a foot style tub that was an attention getter, but could provide some difficulty for seniors to climb in and out. This trip we noted the owner response to correct the issue was to remove the tub and put in a walk in shower arrangement. Highly appreciated as I'm no spring chicken anymore. Only 1 item caused a slight dissappointment which was the removal of the shade trees in the front and rear of the home and the hammock to lay out in. For us (me) that was my favorite spot as it was cool and comforable in the shade and expanded the living area to the outside of the home. Still, if your not the beach goer, you still can spread out on the comfortable couch inside. I would definately recommend.

Nice Area, Needs Updating
Everything was great, except the very old thin vinyl flooring and the bedrooms could use some updating. There are spots on the floor where they have been re-glued down and if you have pets can easily get a hold of a piece and make it worse. The floors should be updated or at least have mats throughout the house where the vinyl is damaged to prevent further damaging. The bedrooms need a TV as many people like to watch TV while in bed. The backyard was great for the pets!
