we stayed on madeira beach , easter 2017, it was amazing , we stayed in condos literally across the road from St johns pass had a beach front condo (used sun host resorts) the views are breath taking! we had dolphins swimming past our balcony!
have a google of sun host , they have a lot of properties at St johns pass to choose from, i would go there again in a heartbeat, but with so much of Floridas beautiful coast to see i think were going to try AMI or further down next time. 100% recommend Madeira/st john pass, we liked not having to use the car of an evening, having a walk around the boarwalk, having a drink, something to eat or even just getting pizzas for a chilled out night in the condo watching the sun set with a glass of wine, magical!

Great thanks guys, will check out VRBO and also follow the recommendations to check that it's real! I do usually do some checks as much as I can but I still worry! I will also check out Sun Host.
We are not doing Orlando at all next visit and are planning a week at AMI (which we do every time now as we love the place) and then we were wanting to do some other costal places as well but we don't want to move about too much. So far on my list now is Indian Shores, Naples, Cape Coral & possibly south Fort Myers Beach (we stayed there this year for 2 nights but the prices for the same place have increased a fair bit this time so it might be off the cards!)

We stayed in Naples for 4 nights this year and loved the place so heading back there for 12 nights next year. We have a beautiful villa booked on Lely Estate sort of between Naples and Marco Island. Great shopping, some cracking restaurants (Brooks burgers and Citrus Seafood to name a couple) and will venture into the Everglades again to spot some gators. I also want to post a postcard for my dad from the smallest post office in USA which is close to Naples. We too are looking for somewhere to stay between Tampa and Naples for our other 4 nights. Was contemplating Anna Maria Island but struggling for accommodation for nights. Will keep checking on this thread for ideas.

Good to hear your experience of naples. I have looked at some properties on the Lely Estate I think (is that the one with the extra charge for the club level access?)
I think if you look on here for Anna Maria Island thread there are quite a lot of recommendations for 2+ night stay places, as you are correct a lot of the villas have a min 7 night stay. so far we have always used annamaria/vacation-r...w-all-rentals/ (not on purpose it just so happens every time we pick the perfect villa for us it's with the same company) and they are super helpful - if you email them your dates they will let you know what properties are available (if any) for the 4 nights |

I like both but we usually stay in Madeira. Only got back a couple of weeks ago. It’s great as we’re in walking distance to Johns Pass so it’s nice for my husband to not have to drive.
We’ve never found the beach or johns Pass to be that busy but could be the time of year when we go. The beach is beautiful, I find the beach further up towards reddington area not as nice sand wise, too much crushed shell. I’m sure you’ll like either area though! |

To add to suggestions - Ive just returned from a weeks stay at Treasure Island Beach Resort - on Treasure Island just a short distance from Maderia and Indian. Would highly recommend. Lovely new hotel with suite facilities and views of the gulf. On the beach, which is huge so never felt busy/crowded at all. Short drive to St. Johns Pass - also very good restaurant at the hotel and one just over the road also.
Have fun choosing |
