Charming 1-bedroom apartment in enchanting Madeira Beach with WiFi, AC

Host was very nice and helpful.

It was great to have a washer & dryer in the unit. The pool was clean and well maintained.

The apartment was cozy and beachy. We enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful stylish pool, thoughtful kitchen appliances. The only regret was not having a dryer for the towels and laundry I did there. A clothesline would help! We are grateful for an affordable spot near the water!

Upon check in, we noticed a very strong sewer smell. I contacted the host and he sent his handy man over, then the plumber. The smell only dissipated when we opened the bathroom window and left the exhaust fan on. The shower would not drain and was ready to overflow before my shower was complete. The TV in the bedroom did not work. All of the dishes, cups, glasses, silverware and pots and pans needed washed before we could use them. The exterior was in poor condition. We swept up the debris, sand, dirt and organized all of the pool chairs, cleaned the grill, and organized all of the kids toys and pool toys that were a mess and all over the place. The pool was clean, but not heated. We had a really nice vacation, but we were not impressed with our living conditions. It was not very clean, and really needs some TLC. The host was very concerned and as helpful as he could be, but lives out of state and could only do so much. I feel bad for him, because I feel like he might just not have the right people in place to make the place a nicer place to stay. It does have potential!!
