20% Off Nightly Rate! Take Advantage of Hurricane Repair Pricing Until 1 Sep 25

Imagine waking to the sound of the ocean from our 6th floor, beach-front condo! Right on Madeira Beach, our condo complex has a heated pool, hot tub, shuffleboard court, tiki hut and a large barbeque grill. Experience true on-the-beach living!
Luxuriate in a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine from the 30 foot long balcony which spans the length of the condo. Access the balcony from both the living room and master bedroom so everyone can truly appreciate the breathtaking ocean views and spectacular sunsets. You might even get to see the elusive "green flash" as the sun settles below the horizon.
Madeira Beach, which the locals call Mad Beach, stretches in front of our condo which we lovingly call La Playa Loca. Enjoy the 180 degree view of the Gulf of America. If you'd rather swim closer to home, feel free to use the building's heated pool and hot tub reserved exclusively for those staying at the Ocean Sands complex.
Our condo is located between Clearwater and St. Pete Beaches, and within 45 mins. of Tampa International Airport. The building is within a short walking distance to a grocery store, drug store, convenience store, restaurants, bars, shops, a post office and a library. The popular John's Pass Village is a short trolley ride away.
La Playa Loca is professionally cleaned between all guests. Cleaners have been trained and use checklists to disinfect surfaces, linens and towels, particularly with regards to the current health environment.
La Playa Loca offers all the amenities you'd expect in a fully furnished condo:
- Master Bedroom with King-size bed and extra large
walk-in closet
- Master Bathroom with dual sinks, bath tub and shower
- Second Bedroom with two double beds
- Wall-mounted TVs and fans in the Living Room and
Bedrooms
- Granite countertops in kitchen and both bathrooms
- Full set of kitchen appliances along with cooking and
eating utensils
- Full-size washer and dryer in the condo
- Storage closet for beach chairs, umbrellas and toys
- Security Access doors to the beach and pool
- Reserved garage parking spot
- Portable crib and high chair
- Safety features - smoke and CO detectors, first aid kit, fire extinguisher
Come experience the beach-front lifestyle at our slice of Paradise in Mad Beach at La Playa Loca!

About the host
Hosted by Laurie and Scott Gough
We love the mountains in our home state of Colorado, but we also feel right at home on the Florida beaches!
We have lived in Colorado since the late 90's and enjoy all that our beautiful state has to offer. Scott retired from the Air Force and Laurie is a retired librarian who was raised in Tampa. We have two adult daughters, our "Colorado girls," who also love spending time on the beach.

Why they chose this property
Having grown up in Tampa, Laurie spent a lot of time with her family on local beaches. She even remembers walking along Madeira Beach as a child. Buying this condo brought our family back to our Florida roots.
What makes this property unique
When Laurie first walked in, she looked through the living area, directly onto the ocean. Also, she really liked the easy access to the 30 foot balcony from both the living room and the master bedroom.
Scott also liked that many conveniences are within a short walking distance from the condo. With access to a trolley, you could go days without driving a car!
