Captains Townhouse

The home had everything we needed, beach chairs, sand toys and lots more. Love the short walk to the beach that wasn't crowded at all. Had a minor issue and was fixed within an hour. Will stay here again.

We loved staying at Captain's Townhouse again this year. It was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The only suggestions I have is to update the patio furniture outside. There are only 2 chairs to go with the table on the porch, and the table by the pool had chairs that were missing straps across the seat on a few.

This spot is right on the beach, the location is ideal, there are amenities within in walking distance, note you can walk to John's pass on the beach from this location. The property is fairly large and open, the 4 bedrooms are mostly of good size, note the double bed in the upper level is a murphy bed (comfortable) but the sliding doors do not lend too much privacy and is the smallest bedroom. We found all things in working order and it was clean. Towels and bedding are good. The kitchen is well stocked if you choose to eat in. There is parking for 2 cars( 3 cars will be tight) , but note they are one in front of the other, so you maybe have to shuffle vehicles and backing out is a little tricky just due to the traffic on the roadway. If you have read the other reviews the criticism about the dating of the furnishing is well documented and is true, however, they are all functional but could use updating. If you’re considering this location I assume it is because you are choosing to spend time outside and on the beach and the outdoor furniture is not great. There are two high tables, one on the lower deck( 4 chairs) and one outside the main floor balcony ( 2 Chairs). There are some chairs for the beach, but they are either “well used” or kind of gross. Choices for outdoor beach chair is portable folding chairs (think kids soccer sidelines) and a couple of low end beach chairs, there are no loungers or fully reclining beach chairs, this seems to be a blind spot for a beachfront location. Since you’re paying the premium to be on the beach, the owner should spend the $ to have some of the folding reclining beach chairs, they are not expensive and maybe a couple of loungers for the lower deck area. We would consider to rent again, but would 1st look for a property that is more updated and has better outdoor furniture.

We stayed here with our family and found the home to be spacious and comfortable. The location is incredible! From the moment you walk in the door, the stunning beach views will impress you. The master balcony is huge and was our favorite spot for sunset watching. It was a peaceful stay. The adjacent home was hosting a girl's trip and we were surprised at the amount of privacy and tranquility we had, even with the fun group next door! The walk to the beach is short and so enchanting. Right at the end of the private party was a sea turtle nest that hatched during our stay! It was a magical moment we will all cherish. Of course the beach is fantastic, but we were surprise how much our group enjoyed the small splash pool! The unit was spotless and every thing worked well. Though, it should be noted there are lots of stairs if you have mobility concerns. We highly recommend staying here!

Location was awesome, beach access was great. The furniture was dated, some privacy and parking issues and we did experience multiple mechanical issues inside the property. The property management company was involved and proactive.

Great oven front property. Clean, large and well equipped. Can’t beat the location. Could use a little updating but man did we have a great time.

We stayed for a week at the Captains Townhouse. There was 8 of us and a baby. We had plenty of room in the house and each couple had their own bedroom! The house was clean and was decorated nice. There was well stocked kitchen for cooking. It was sooo nice being right on the beach and the beach was super nice! Not overly crowded, beach was clean with soft sand and the water was clear and the ocean bottom was soft. Waling distance to John's Pass and a few stores and restaurants. We would definitely come again!

Had a wonderful stay. The place is beautiful. The views are amazing. Cant wait to book it again!!!!

we have the most amazing time in the captains townhouse. I cant tell you how helpful Charles and Liz were with our reservation and what an wonderful job Craig did with the cleanup. But the place itself was immaculate and the view was absolutely beautiful. It was romantic for me and my husband, and a blast when our grandchild came up to play on the beach. We couldve asked for more amazing stay. And we will definitely be staying there again. Thank you so much for everything.

This place was beautiful, immaculate, clean, spacious, and romantic. We were able to meet Craig from the cleaning crew. He was courteous, professional, and extremely efficient. This place is Gorgeous. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back.

Loved staying right on the Madeira Beach, uncrowded and townhouse we rented was so nice.

Second floor bathroom door doesn't lock. One dinning room chair is wobbely and screws underneath need tightening. Top three glass panels above sliding doors need cleaning. The place was clean and well stocked. We had a wonderful family vacation and would definitely return.

We had a great family vacation with our two kids, nephew and their three friends (all 18 to 20 years old). They loved it. The townhome was very well appointed, had plenty of room and clean when we arrived. The location was amazing! We did have to switch the sliding glass doors as the right one was nearly impossible to open. It should be addressed as I nearly smashed a finger. We purchased batteries for the garage door opener as it stopped working. Other than that, we would definitely recommend it! The weather was great. Thanks for renting us the unit!

I have just returned from a weeks stay with five other ladies at the Captain's townhouse. I felt it necessary to write this review so potential future guests have an accurate, updated idea of the rental. I will start with the pros. Pros: Location - this was on an amazing area of the strip of beach. Having walked in either direction and seen some of the areas more crowded with more shells than sand, we really had the prime spot with almost all powdery white sand and generally the area to ourselves. The townhouse itself - it was a great layout, there was lots of space for all six adults to not feel over crowded. Two per bathroom was great (esp 5 ladies getting ready in the evening). The pictures advertised were an accurate representation of what we walked into overall. The townhouse was well equipped with everything you needed to get through a week on the beach. From dishes, to beach towels, to pots & pans, and beach chairs. We had a started supply of toilet paper, paper towels, and soaps. Cons: The pool!!! - This was super frustrating for us. When we arrived Saturday evening we lifted the cover on the splash pool to see merky/cloudy water and a pool full of sand and debris on the bottom. We phoned the help number provided immediately to have it resolved. Two days later (Monday) we had not heard back and we made a second phone call, to which we were told someone would attempt to come earlier, but the scheduled maintenance day was Wednesday. No one came until Wednesday and all they did was shock the pool. By the following day it still was not swimmable. This was a huge disappointment for us because it was advertised to have a usable pool, which it was not for the entire week we were there. Overall cleanliness - The house was not up to the standards of cleanliness I would expect for the price we paid to stay there (approx. $5000 cad). Several cooking items needed to be cleaned prior to use (eggs still in frying pan, waffle mix on waffle maker). There was dust and dirt on every surface that was not right in your face (ie counter spaces, kitchen table were visibly clean, but tv stands, baseboards, areas around beds were filthy). The townhouse is in desperate need of a deep clean. Overall rules - While we appreciate the need for some ground rules and restrictions, myself and the other staying there felt some of them were a little much, particularly to what we needed to do prior to leaving (gather all towels, wash all dishes, empty all fridge/food, remove trash). Others also felt perhaps with this high price, half way through the week someone should come in to remove trash, give a quick vacuum. Don't get me wrong, we all enjoyed our stay and would likely return. But I felt an obligation to inform potential customers and maybe even the owners themselves, of some things that could be done to increase satisfaction.

We rent many homes when we go on vacation and make the best decision possible with information found on line. This house was everything it said it was. We were very pleased about everything we found about the house, the amenities, location. etc. We would certainly rent this house again on another vacation to this area.

We had a wonderful time at the Captain's Townhouse. The place is beautiful, well equipped, and within close proximity to John's Pass! We rented paddle boards for the week and pretty much just relaxed and ate for the full 7 days. iTrip provided perfect communication from start to finish. Thank you!

Great place, Great beach, and Great hospitality from iTrip! Thanks

We just returned from a 5 night stay at Maderia Beach. The house was spacious, CLEAN, updated and overall 5 out of 5 for a rental property. The beach access was so easy. We traveled with a 7 month old and 3 year old, in addition to my parents who are in their late 60s. Everyone had no problems getting to and from the house and beach. The layout of the property is ideal for families and offers a lot of privacy. The house is also within walking distance to dozens of restaurants (none of which are particularly good) but it's still nice to have the option to walk to dinner. We hope to return again!

This was our 2nd time staying at this house and still loved the location and views. The only bummer was the major construction happening right next door. It was very loud work that started at 7:30 and went until at least 5. Whereas the decks and pool were nice and relaxing our last visit, it certainly wasn't the case this time. We tried to be out at the beach as much as possible where the noise wasn't as noticeable. Hopefully the condos will be built soon so this beach house will be back to its tranquil self!
