Awesome Place to Stay!
We have stayed at several VrBos in recent years and this is definitely one of the nicest! Everything was clean and as pictured online. You could not ask for a better stocked kitchen and lots of useful things all throughout the comfy cottage. The location is perfect, close to the action but a little ways back from the main drag so you are not in the noise or traffic areas. Within easy walking distance to the beach and John’s Pass (shopping and restaurants.) Judy and Drake were quick to answer questions and handle any needs. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Madeira Beach stay
Our check-in was terrible. We could not get into the rental and were stuck sitting under the porch roof for over 90 minutes in the dark in a rainstorm trying to contact someone. Seems they forgot we were coming and never programed the door lock. The pool/hot tub did not work, water temp was about 60 deg., unusable. There were clumps of dust and hair under the bed and bath sink was dirty when we arrived. We never did see or hear from Judy, the host. Once we got in and settled however, we did have a decent stay.

Wonderful little piece of paradise!
This was a great spot close to the beach and John’s Pass but yet so quiet and relaxing. Our cottage was very clean, bed was comfortable and the pool area so serene and inviting. Our first day there was a cool 62 degrees but the protection of the trees around the pool area made it very comfortable to enjoy being outside. It was also wonderful to have all the beach supplies and bikes for our use. Judy was very easy to communicate with and made sure everything was perfect for us. We will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Tagert

Host profile image
I was a licensed Occupational Therapist for 30 years until i luckily found this sweet venture. Some things are meant to be and this came into my life for a reason. So happy to be out of the healthcare nightmare and love meeting the travelers. Such a wonderful life now. I only do real estate and love it. I do not plan to retire even though i am 63 years young. Love meeting so many wonderful people from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

These little neglected cottages needed TLC. The buildings are very authentic but needed updating and major renovation to preserve. The compound was big enough to put a 5000 sq foot back yard with pool, etc.

What makes this property unique

These little cottages are so charming and quaint. The cottages were in very poor condition when i purchased this property. I worked with the City of Madeira Beach to make this compound a much better place in this little neighborhood. The cozy screened porches are a favorite. The compound has plenty of room for everyone and ample parking. Guests love being able to walk to John's Pass Village.
