Just a stone’s throw from Madeira’s white powder sand BEACH and steps from the beautiful views of the Bocca Ciega BAY, this barrier island vacation retreat is perfect for the whole family, and features an IDEAL LOCATION, newly rebuilt, GROUND FLOOR accommodations that are warm, welcoming, modern and spacious, plus all of the charm you’d expect from a GATED YACHT CLUB COMMUNITY next to the ocean.

In September of 2024, the barrier island of Mad Beach (as it has been affectionately dubbed by the locals) was directly impacted by Hurricane Helene. While some ground floor units in the complex and most local businesses have reopened, some remain under reconstruction. In addition, the area is experiencing rapid growth and an influx of new development.

In the adjoining ROC park, overlooking the bay and along the stunning waterside walking path, you’ll find tennis, pickle ball, basketball, baseball, yoga & fitness classes, a children’s playground and a splash park. Across the bay, paddle boards and kayaks are available for rent. Restaurants, bars, shops, adventure golf, and ice cream shops and bars, including the infamous Saltwater Hippie - are all within EASY WALKING DISTANCE, along with a library, pharmacy and liquor store (Aldis opening soon).

Around the complex, enjoy lounging by either of the two pristine heated pools, fish or take in a sunrise from the pier (both just steps from your door) or stroll the marina docks.

Across the road and at the beach, there is volleyball, paddle boards, dolphins and endless miles of sand and surf. Adventurers can hop on the Sun Coast Beach trolley, running from Clearwater to St.Pete’s Beach, to their destination of choice. Just a 2.3 mile ride away is JOHN’S PASS, a quaint, turn-of the century fishing village and #1 tourist attraction, where you can dolphin watch, shell, parasail, jet ski or shop to your heart’s content.

At home, you’ll enter your private retreat with the convenience and security of keyless keypad access. A comfortably furnished LANAI makes the perfect spot for enjoying a peaceful moment, game night, or morning coffee at the bistro table. Prep your meals in an open CHEF’s KITCHEN that boasts gleaming stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, recessed lighting, convenient easy glide pull out cabinetry, a large dining table and additional high top counter seating. If you enjoy your meals out-of-doors, spark up your private GRILL and dine on the adjacent PATIO. The spacious central living space is an ideal family gathering spot. Every room is equipped with its own Smart TV, and a full size washer/dryer makes extra clothing unnecessary. A luxurious king memory foam mattress, large walk-in closet and private ensuite in your oversized master sanctuary offer the perfect end to the day. For sleep options beyond the master suite, the second bedroom features both a QUEEN BED and a double decker twin BUNKBED.
