Gulf-Side Beach House - Tiki Bar · Direct Beach Access · No Roads to Cross
Welcome to your perfect Gulf Coast escape — a spacious, fully loaded 3-bedroom, 3-bath beach house just steps from the sugar sand of Madeira Beach. Walk straight out the back gate and you're on the beach. No roads to cross. No parking lots to navigate. Just pure, effortless beach access.
Inside, you'll find bright, open living spaces with coastal décor, marble floors, and everything you need to unpack, relax, and never leave. The fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space for cooking in. 3BR/3BA sleeps 6 — king + 2 queens, 2 indoor baths + private 3rd full bath on the side + freestanding outdoor rinse shower. The in-unit washer and dryer keeps extended stays easy.
Outside is where the magic happens. Unwind at the private tiki bar with drinks and lounge on the deck. The property is fully enclosed by a privacy fence — your own private sanctuary from the world.
Everything for the beach is already here and waiting for you: - Beach chairs, umbrellas & beach towels - Rolling beach wagon - Cooler - Kids' sand toys - Outdoor shower
Just pack your swimsuit and sunscreen — we've handled the rest.
The location: You're nestled on Gulf Boulevard in the heart of Madeira Beach — one of Florida's most beloved beach communities. Step off the property and you're a short stroll from world-famous John's Pass Village & Boardwalk, with waterfront dining, live music, boutique shops, fishing charters, dolphin tours, jet ski rentals, and sunset cruises. Caddy's, Cafe Corner, and Fishbusterz are all walkable. Everything you'd want from a Florida beach vacation is right outside your door.
Guest access: You have full, private access to the entire home — all three bedrooms, three baths, the full kitchen, the deck, and the tiki bar. Private parking for up to 3 vehicles directly in front of the property. Keypad self check-in means arrival on your schedule, no coordination needed.
A note about the location: The property sits on Gulf Blvd, Madeira Beach's main coastal road. While you may hear some passing traffic from outdoors, the solid block construction and privacy fence create a noticeably quiet, peaceful interior — guests consistently remark how tranquil it feels once you're inside. The trade-off is unbeatable: walk out the back gate and you're on the beach in under 60 seconds.

Host communicated well and the check in process was very easy. Property was lovely, very clean, beds were really comfortable and location was great. We were so close to the beach and the house had everything you could need for a day on the sand, chairs, parasols a cooler and a trolley to take everything in. We loved our time here
Everything was just as advertised - host very responsive. House was very well equipped for beach activities. Internet and TV were excellent - both password protected and fast. Outdoor seating area a nice amenity.
We loved this stay. The house was very clean, so many nice extra touches from having equipment (wagon, umbrella, water toys) for a beach excursion but also coffee condiments, hand soap, soft toilet paper just things that you would find if you stayed with a relative. Any frequent traveler can tell you how much difference these little personal touches make for stays. We loved being so close to the trolley stop, beach and an outdoor space too. If we could give this retreat 10 stars we would.
Great location to everything. The beach was a moments walk and restaurants, bars and shops were walking distance also. We had everything we needed to have a great vacation. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and house was clean and nicely laid out. Thank you!
This house has everything you need for a great vacation. The house is very close to the beach. Beach chairs umbrellas beach cart and boogie boards all provided. Inside you have everything you need. The kitchen is awesome! The house is very clean. Planning on staying again. 5 stars!
This house was perfect if you want to spend time at the beach! Great location and easy to drive to St. Petersburg for dining and shopping.

Yes the host was very responsive to any questions we had. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We were surprised that the house was advertised as on beach but is not on beach. You can not even see the beach from anywhere on the property. We were looking forward to enjoying having coffee watching the ocean and beautiful sunsets and that was not possible from the house.
We had a wonderful long weekend, and we’re so happy with the location, layout, cleanliness, and amenities at the house. We would definitely rent here again if we’re in the area!
Property was clean and as described with all of the beach gear that we needed to spend long days on the beach comfortably. Host was extremely responsive and provided suggestions on dining as well. Great location to beach, restaurants and entertainment.
Property was just as listed. Check in was a breeze, everything was within walking distance. Great bars and restaurants were very close. Will definitely visit again!
Well appointed and close to the beach and John’s pass. Loved sitting out on the back deck in a private little oasis. Everything was perfect except the microwave was broken and during our two week stay, it was not replaced.
Me and my family had a great time here. Close to the beach, food and fun. It was so nice to have a wagon and everything you need for the beach. Check in and out was so simple.
Excellent location. Home was very clean. Home has everything you need for the beach including a wagon to carry it all the
short walk to the beach. Easy walk to shops and restaurants.
Perfect location! Walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go!
House was super clean, the backyard tiki hut bar was perfect place to sit around and visit! Highly recommend!!!
Perfect location, steps always from the beach and walking distance to John’s Pass. Host was very easy and fast to communicate with. Beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed. Will be back!!
We came to celebrate my birthday. The house was just as described. The home was very nice and the location was perfect! Just steps away from the beach. The outdoor Tiki bar was great for hanging out with all the family. We would definitely return!
This was our first family trip to Florida. The house was great, had everything we needed. Just a short walk to the beach and close to the restaurants and shops. Had a wonderful time and wasn’t ready to come home!
So many great things about this property: you're close to the beach but tucked away with privacy, the outdoor shower in the backyard to rinse off the sand, comfortable living spaces, washer / dryer. We loved our time in Florida!
For the past 4 years my college girlfriends and I have visited the Gulf Coast and this was one of the best stocked and homes we have stayed in. Location and amenities we all fantastic.
The house was very spacious and clean, the owner thought of everything for the beach - wagon, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys. The short walk to beach was just that - short! Great stay and we would stay again!!
