The cottage was very nicely equipped with everything necessary for the week's stay. It is within walking distance to restaurants and entertainment. We walked to miniature golf at Johns pass. The beach is just across the road which was convenient for morning, afternoons, and evening strolls on the beach. The host was helpful checking in and out. Overall, a very nice experience. I would definitely stay again.

This was an amazing place to stay, so clean and nice, updated furnishings. The pool looked very nice, weather not warm enough for me to get in the water (pool or beach). John responded very quickly to messages, arrival and departure were simple and easy. The location was a short walk to John’s Pass and to a family members house. I enjoyed getting the steps in. I would absolutely stay here again, my parents liked the place as well, so they will have a contact point the next time they visit this area. Lovely place John… well done!

Easy access to the beach. Bathroom was VERY small but functional. Resort manager, Dave Adams, was very helpful and accommodating and made our stay much nicer. Great pool and pool area. Used the gas grille a couple time which was convenient. Overall a good place to stay and "beach it".

Great place to stay in Madeira

This condo was a perfect place to stay for our trip to the beach. Close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. The condo was clean and had everything we needed, beach towels included! The mattress was a little hard for us but that’s our opinion. Also the bathroom is very tight and cramped but again, not a huge deal. The grounds and pool area are well kept and clean.

Small but perfectly suitable for a couple staying at the beach

This quaint little cottage is well equipped with quality items. The bed is comfortable. Directly across the street are miles of beautiful white sands with St Johns Pass a short walk away. The swimming pool has plenty of sun beds and chairs for easy relaxation. The manager lives on site and is always available to help when needed.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Clean room, friendly neighbors and the property manager was wonderful and very available to our needs. The only negative would be the bathroom toilet placement. Very crowded by the sink placement. Other than that it was a wonderful stay!

Cute little cottage

Cute little cottage resort. Great pool, friendly staff. A few things to make it a five. Check in/out times not as listed on VRBO. A bed skirt on the boxspring, extra pillows and more attention to dusting/fingerprint cleaning on cabinets. Otherwise a cute little cottage. Excellent couch, tv, wifi, kitchen supplies, towels, comfortable bed. Laundry facilities excellent.

Love this hideaway

We have stayed at Gulf Resort 2 years in a row now and we love it. We stay in the small efficiency cottages and they are perfect for our needs. Right across the street to a public beach access and within walking distance to several good bars and restaurants. We have never had a problem with getting into our room (and we usually arrive very late) and Dave the manager is there every day and very very helpful. Our rooms have been clean and the property is kept very nicely. The pool is awesome and heated and the people around us are always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend for a short stay to get some sun before heading into the dreary northern winter.

My pretend weekend

I booked my stay in advance, was so excited for myself and husband. 4 days before check-in I ended up sick in hospital for over a week. So instead of being heartbroken over losing my beach weekend, I looked at the bright side and was glad i recovered. So im sure this getaway would have been fabulous. Nothing bad to say about it 😌
