What a wonderful stay…..
If you’re looking for a relaxing vacation, this is the place for you. Plenty of good restaurants and the best part is you are less than a two minute walk to the beach. Your host, Doc, is a pleasure to work with and accommodating.

Everything exactly as advertised, on the quiet end of Mad Beach and close to everything. Had no issues working during the days and knowing my wife had a very safe beautiful area to relax while I was away. The owner Doc stopped by to check on us and was very nice. I will book again.

Don't Keep Looking.....Book Now Before It Is Gone!!
Loved this place!! The location was perfect ( right on the beach) our room #6 was very clean and spacious, the neighbors were very friendly and Doc the owner was amazing. He was always very helpful when we needed something or had a question. Everything we needed was provided, so don't pack anything needed for the beach, Doc has you covered. We are already planning our next trip for 2023!

Beach Vacation
Doc was great. Everything was neat and clean. Nothing fancy but perfect for lounging at the beach. When he says private it definitely was maybe 8-10 people total on the beach area,but your still close enough to restaurants and shopping. Most of these are within walking distance. Will definitely consider come visit again

unpleasant place
just want to say that it is time for vrbo to have a supervisor to check the properties that they advertises on its internet account, the place that I rented was horrible, totally unpleasant, with furniture that apart from being old looked dirty, a sofa bed that the mattress was pure springs, the place is so small that I felt trapped, the disgusting beach chairs and the grill was all filthy, on top of that 2 large cockroaches that came out from somewhere, the only good thing is that the beach is just a few steps away, but Even so, I do not recommend it, I rented for 3 days, and was not cheap , I only stayed 8 hours and went to look for another place (I had to stay because there was nowhere to rent at that time) I am not a person that like to make problems, I just sent a message to the owner that I have already left , that I did not like anything without giving details ( because I did not want to speak that angry ) and I have not received any response , not even as a courtesy to tell me , I am sorry , I can return some of your money , nothing at all , the curious thing is that of all the comments only one wrote what happened to me, the rest speak wonders of the place (perhaps they are paid) and I think that vrbo should also be responsible for these scams that are happening to many people, since these advertisements they accept on their platform without any revision

Description is very misleading.
We were assigned Condo #6 (which is really a kitchenette), which is on the 2nd floor. Advertised no stairs and no elevators. No lights for stairs at night. Room was filthy, shower head covering hangs from the wall, vents and ceiling fans are dirty. Owner sits outside in his car and watches. If someone does what he doesn't think they should, he texts or calls them, says. The beach chairs are old and dirty, and grill is disgusting. Nothing like pictures. No directions about check in or check out, just times. I was not comfortable safety wise. I could go on but you get the idea. I will not use VRBO or Sunglow again.

Good location!
We enjoyed our relaxing week at this location! Pros- excellent location. You can see the ocean/beach from the balcony & one living room window. You can walk to the beach which is maybe 100 steps out the door. Very nice beach loungers and umbrellas provided. Condo was a comfortable size for 3 people. The owner is always around and available by phone/text if you need anything. Super responsive & nice. The wine he left was very nice. Cons- we had a very late arrival due to weather flight changes & notified the owner. When we got to the condo, there was no bedding or pillows for the pull out sofa and only enough towels for 2 people & we had 3. We had to contact the host & have him bring these things (after midnight … which is definitely a plus as far as responsiveness goes!! But should have been provided initially so we didn’t have to wait on him to come to get to sleep.) The floors were very dirty when we arrived to where our feet were visibly dirty after walking on them so we opted to always wear shoes inside. Limited kitchen utensils, no hot pads or towels in kitchen. Dirty pan left in oven. Mattress needs to be replaced- sunken in place where people have slept over the life of the mattress.

The location for area was good close to shops and some food places. Theres not many restaurants . Great for steps to beach and trolley system. We didnt have a car so that helped. Check in was a little confusing with communication and overbooking issues, but did accommodate us with room shifting a few times. But they were very friendly and nice, would stay there again.

Amazing vacation
This place is amazing!!!! We stayed in the penthouse, and I could see open from the room and balcony!!! It is steps from the ocean. Several restaurants and stores in walking distance. Doc is very attentive; we had great communication before our arrival, and he was checking on us during our stay. The place was clean, with plenty of spare towels. The kitchen is equipped with a coffee maker, dishes, utensils, pans and pots (no dishwasher). Laundry room (coin operated) was very nice to have. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas free to use! WiFi was spotty at times, but I was able to work a couple of days. I had my reservations as we are still in the midst of pandemic, but it all worked out very well in the end and we had great time. I would stay longer if I could. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future and recommend to friends!!!

Wonderful surprise!
Upon arrival we had some confusion as we had switched dates but it was quickly corrected. We found Doc to be an excellent host a willing to go the extra mile to please. The motel itself is a perfect example of the too soon disappearance of old florida. We stayed in the “penthouse” which had a superb beach and sunset view. The best part of our stay was the beach. As there is no parking, except for guest, the beach never had more than 6 or 8 people.....a great plus in these times of corona virus. We will definitely stay there again hopefully long term.

Relaxing, Amazing, stress free and on beach
The place was so nice. My six year old daughter and I stayed for three nights. Exactly what I was looking for. Extremely clean, great space with open feel. Had everything we needed! Amazing owners/staff, and right on the beach. The owner and staff are so friendly, and accommodating. They make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your time. Just amazing to walk out the door and be on the beach in a second. I don’t like the big business condo feel. This was smaller, quaint and soooo relaxing. I haven’t been this stress free ever. My daughter didn’t want to leave!!! Thank you Doc for such a amazing time and for allowing us to create beautiful memories forever on. She felt like a queen on top balcony! We will be back super soon and we cannot wait!!!

About the host

Hosted by DOC SCHROEDER,OWNER

Host profile image
Living in the sun shine state has always been my dream. When I retired from practice in 1985, I had to find something to do that was less hours and less demanding. I miss my patients but a nice substitute are guests we meet in the hospitality rental vacation business. My wife, who is a retired psychiatric nurse, and I enjoy sharing stories with our guests while at the same time providing them with a nice safe updated place to stay while vacationing on Floridas #1 beach. Sunglow with just 7 units was the perfect size for my wife and I to manage.

Why they chose this property

WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LOCATION OF THIS QUAINT ART DECO STYLE BEACHFRONT CONCRETE STRUCTURE AND ITS CHARM. , JUST 2 BLOCKS TO DOWNTOWN MADEIRA BEACH WITH OVER A MILE OF RESIDENTIAL GULFRONT HOMES AND NO, NO COMMERCIAL & NO,NO PEOPLE...I SAW THE SIGN GO UP AND BOUGHT IT THE SAME DAY WITHIN 2 HOURS !
PS.BENEFICIARY OF THE ESTATE WAS A FORMER MISS AMERICA FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA. AND HER SPOUSE IS STILL ON TV.

What makes this property unique

It’s just a short minutes scenic walk along beautiful Gulf Blvd to Wynn Dixie grocery store, dress&gift shops, hair salons , beachy restaurants /beach bars or the World’s Famous John’s Pass waterfront Boardwalk. The popular beach trolley stops out front and is a must scenic ride along the scenic Blvd to Clearwater Beach or St.Petersburg Beach at the other end. A 1 day pass is just $2.00. Guests and friends always enjoy the barbeque cookout, under the palm trees, at Sunglow.
