My husband, 2 year old daughter and I enjoyed our 5 night stay at the end of July/beginning of August. The king-sized bed was spacious, although I'd suggest bringing your own pillows, as these and the extra ones in the closet left your head flat on the bed. My little one slept on the pull-out sofa bed and luckily she was light enough to not feel the springs, but I can't see it being too comfortable for adults or older children and the top part sunk in a bit. There were 4 beach towels provided as well as nice beach chairs, and TONS of sand toys for the kids. Unfortunately the canopy mentioned in the amenities was broken as well as the large umbrella which was disappointing since we had a small child to keep out of the sun. The bodyboards were missing the leashes to attach it to your wrist, but there was one or two available. There was a hard cooler in the closet as well plus some random items like extra sunscreen, bug spray, a little charcoal, etc. There were about 8-10 hangers in the closet so if you're in need of more, bring your own! Lots of towels in the bathroom/bedroom closet, decent water pressure in the shower. The flooring/carpet was mostly cleaned upon arrival - I only paid close attention since we had a small child who plays on the floor. The areas around and behind furniture, particularly in the bedroom were dusty/dirty, with little pieces of trash behind the bench in the bedroom and dresser. Kitchen cabinets are well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. with 2 dish rags and 2 towels. Comfortable couches, easy to work TV, nice dining area. The screen door is very frustrating to use as it doesn't easily close which was a hassle since we had a young child we didn't want to escape to the balcony. The door has to be lifted and moved over to properly close - with the high winds and intense storms we had, I was afraid if it didn't get closed right, it was going to blow off. My husband had to close it, as it was too difficult for me. I know I was little detailed with the review, but these are things you don't know about until someone tells you and things I look for when renting a vacation home. We did enjoy our stay and the fabulous view, but a few things could be taken care of to make vacationers' stay a little better!

Aside from the condo, Dolphin Quest in Madeira Beach was great! We enjoyed a 4pm dolphin tour and got to see lots of dolphins...fairly priced, too! Check out Yelp for great local places to eat...the Frog Pond was great for breakfast! The Publix located very close was great for a quick grocery trip and be sure to check out all of the local places for ice cream! If you have young kids, the Tampa Zoo was fun and the Glazer Children's Museum in Tampa was excellent...plan to spend a few hours there!
