This is our 10th year staying at Gulf Garden resorts. Unit #6 is under new ownership. The new owner has fully remodeled the inside. It is a beautiful unit across the street from the beach. The Owner is extremely nice and helpful with any situation. Thank you Rick for going above and beyond. Chuck and Michelle Estel

Very clean condo but a bit tiny. Second floor stairs are also a bit of a challenge. If you're going to the beach which is straight across the street please use the crosswalk access because of the high volume of traffic. The condo also has a beautiful pool to cool off if you're not a beach person, but be sure to rinse off any sand on yourself before entering the pool or your room. Great restaurants within walking distance and there is also a trolley to take you from Maderia beach to Clearwater beach. Trolley stops at specific locations that display a big sun on the sign at and around every half hour. I suggest using it to go to the boardwalk because parking there is impossible ? Enjoy your stay!

A perfect small apt for our vacation. A short walk to a very nice beach and a very nice saline pool. Very quiet. Comfortable bed. A mile from John's Pass that has great shopping, and water tours. We are planning on staying there again

We stayed in #4 for a few days, the room was well kept, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a little cramped, but I'm sure that's due to the difference in plumbing fixtures between now and when it was built. Very friendly staff, nice pool area, and easy access to the beach. Food and drink in easy walking distance as well. We enjoyed the area, it seems less "touristy", but maybe that's just our timing. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Absolutely excellent! Apartment was clean and had everything we needed (beach chairs, linens, coffee pot, even coolers)! Motel staff were so friendly and available of we needed anything, Sue was such a great welcome. Already planning our trip back!

I will give 2 stars due to the fact the person who owned our unit (#9) took very good care of it and provided everything we may need! However, the property manager from the beginning made me feel uneasy and was very “stalker” like. My husband and I are smokers, there are smoking areas (not designated properly and also no receptacles for disposing of butts) surrounding the grounds. From the day we checked in I didn’t get good vibes from him. I felt as though he was trying to catch us doing something wrong. He made a very untrue statement to our unit owner upon our departure claiming “he saw my husband walk out of the unit with a lit cigarette”. Resulting in a not so perfect review for us. My husband was outside, 5 feet away from the “smoking section” sidewalk and out of habit lit it before he got there and the manager saw it, and my husband saw him and ran to the sidewalk and apologized repeatedly. Seems petty I know, however when you make false statements that can potentially effect the future of our renting abilities it becomes a huge issue. We spent most of our days off the grounds or at the beach due to the fact we felt like we were underage doing things we weren’t suppose to be doing, he watched our every move. We were warned by other tenants/people staying there of him. This may be a better place for 60+ vacationers/residents and of course non smokers!! Because you’re clearly judged and not trusted to do the right thing and follow rules there.

Although the unit is best discribed as "mature", it was clean and well maintained. We were very comfortable. The surprise to me was how incredibly friendly and helpful the people were..... what a pleasure it was to meet and interact with the staff and other guests. Our vacation has been most enjoyable so far!
