"Nice place, great location
Our fridge was not working, but maintenance was sent promptly and took care of the issue quickly. Would be nice to have washer and dryer in the unit but not sure where it would fit. A little dated but overall nice, and I miss it now that we are gone. Amazing view!"

"Very nice unit
Very nice. It was nice surprise to find a couple beach chairs in closet. This is the closest condo resort to John's pass village. Great view of beach & gulf. Nice clean pool. Standard coffee maker(not Keuerig) was a plus. A starter roll of paper towels would have been good."

"Remember you're on vacation!
I was surprised I had to be very assertive when it came to getting things that are not quite right corrected. The dishwasher was not connected properly. Management response, if it starts and water flows it's working. Not so, top rack was in backwards so spinners weren't getting water. Extra blanket? They don't provide! Incredible."

"Corner unit with beach views west and north
Liked the recliner with a view. Liked the table for 4 and recliner on the 3rd floor balcony. We had to buy the following provisions: paper towels, soap, toilet paper, salt & pepper. Also, there were no potholders, which made using the oven a dangerous proposition. The apartment was much quieter than others we have rented because it is not streetside. Appreciated having 2 beds."

"My 2023 vacation at Sandy Shores
I stayed in Unit 305 and loved every second of it.The views from the Balcony are second to none.
The unit came with all necessary items that I required. All cooking g utensils,dishes and cutlery.
The beds were excellent and I found comfortable and clean.The clothes washer and dryer were pay as you go and right outside your door.
I whole heartedly reccomend this Unit (305 ). I will book it when I go back again."

"Sandy Shores #305
The condo was very nice, but a little dated. It was clean, had everything you basically needed and an amazing view. Love the fact that you just have to walk across the street for shopping, restaurants and a beautiful boardwalk. You see dolphins daily and the occasional manatee from the balcony. "

"Condo 305
The property is great. The pool is one of the best qualities. I eill say there is not enough shade sround the pool. Love the location. The condo was clean and kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing was a pair of someone’s underwear we found under the bed. Yuk. The only thing is the bathroom. It’s very old and the sink faucet is really stiff. Otherwise love the condo and have booked for next year. Customer service was very helpful when we didn’t have a code 15 minute prior to check in. Friends that come every year recommended the Sandy Shores and we loved it. I would definitely recommend it. "

View is stunning, location is ideal, the unit was flawless. I tried to think of what might make this place better and really can't. "

"A return visit
Great unit that has perfect views up and down the beach. Short walk from the pool out to the ocean. We have already booked again next year and looking forward to it. The unit could use some upgrades and a little refreshment. Furniture is outdated but pretty consistent with other places we've visited. "

"Room 305
Dirty, old and smelled musty. We were not at all impressed with this unit or the building. The elevator worked 3 out of 8 days. Unexceptable. We usually book thru sunhost and will continue. But we will not recommend or return to sandy shores . "

"Relaxing Vacation
Our vacation was so relaxing. The condo was ocean front and had plenty of room. The kitchen had plenty of kitchen ware, a blender, microwave, coffee pot and toaster. Make sure you bring plenty of trash bags & dawn with plenty of dish rags. The patio had a lounge chair and a table with four chairs. The bedroom had two queen beds, a night stand, and a walk in closet to put all of your luggage. Bring beach towels & bath towels. There is a washer and dryer on each floor which was so convenient. There are lots of grocery stores, restaurants, & shops. We will definitely be back!"

"Perfect
We’ve been staying at Sandy Shores condos since they were built in the 80’s. The location of the condos can’t be beat. The units themselves are great. Each unit has been updated and maintained extremely well. They are clean and contain just about everything you need for your stay. The only consistent complaints are of course the elevator - yes they are slow but hey you are at the beach- what’s your hurry? And if you are in a hurry take the stairs! "

"NOT HAPPY
Well the room was very disappointing thats for sure old carpet it was just horrible & disgusting the place needs a major update thats for sure furniture was old & dirty the bedroom bed was old bed frame was not even attached to the bed & the bedding was old & dirty very very disappointing & bathroom was dirty & old... And we had stayed at sandy shores before not in this rental also the code to get into the room never worked right very frustrating & the Elevator & the pool area very frustrating again... The only good thing about that room is the view of the Ocean other then that needs major changes ASAP "

"DONT DO IT!!! Keep Scrolling!
We stayed in this condo the week of Thanksgiving 2021 I was appalled!!!! There was a dead bug in the kitchen drawer, kitchen sink would not drain and smelled. aluminum foil wrapping the burners on the stove, outlet in the bathroom was falling out of the wall the bathroom exhaust fan did not work. The worst was the carpet. My daughter ended up having an allergy attack, throat tightening, sneezing, allergy induced eczema. I spent the week coughing. We believe that there is something we were allergic to in that condo.
We are not able to afford the luxury of vacationing all the time, I saved for this trip for al long time and it makes me sick that our vacation was ruined because of a dirty condo. If I could go back, I would have left immediately. I reached out to Sunhost Resorts and they reached out to the owner of the condo, who I have reached out to the Better Business Bureau and the Pinellas County Board of Health. I am writing this in hopes that no one else experiences what we experienced.
To Sunhost resorts: it looks like you have “cleaned up” the reviews for this condo, that is very interesting, as I was told there were no complaints about this condo. There were many more reviews that were on the website (that I have screen shots of) that are now gone. To the owner of the condo: Shame on you!

"Beautiful View of Beach
Condo had beautiful view of beach as it was a corner condo. House could use some updating but our stay was great. "

"My favorite condo
Sunhost has always been a very easy company to deal with. I have stayed in a few of their condos but this has become my favorite! I have no complaints. the location and the endless Gulf views from this condo is simply perfection! IF there has been a problem (which has been literally one) they were right on top of fixing it. It is the perfect location-just a walk across the street to John's Pass and the many delicious restaurants and awesome shops. The property is very well maintained and the crew works hard to be sure you wake up to a clean property. Give them a thanks as you walk to the beach. Thank you Sunhost you will forever have my business!"

"Amazing Views!
Great Condo for an older appearing condo. Had everything we needed. Condo was very clean and spacious for a one bedroom. Views were amazing. Pool area was nice and clean. Would definitely stay in this condo again. "

"Great view
Everything you needed but the cabinets are peeling away from the cabinets and it makes it hard to open and shut carpet dirty! But other then that great ! "

"305 Sandy Shores
To Sun Host Resorts
I am very disappointed in my recent stay at 305 Sandy Shores. The following is a list of complaints or issues during our stay:
The carpets need to be replaced in the living and bedroom areas.
The entire place needs to be updated.
The water pressure on the toilet was so low we had to remove the toilet tank lid and fill it from a bucket just to flush after each use. We also had to plunge all week long.
The ice maker did not work but thru a text from the office we were informed that the owners of the condo would not replace it and that we should go buy a bag of ice.
We had four people staying in the condo and we could not get anymore towels. We were told two towels to a person which would never be sufficient for most guests.
There weren’t any hangers at all so we tried our best to keep our clothes hung over doors or wherever they would not wrinkle.
In the past we have rented from you many times and we were shocked at your inability to make our stay a good one. We will definitely never use your facility again and we will make sure we make this available for others to see.

"Great Room
Great room with a great view and terrace. Highly recommend this room. The condo complex needs to install a new elevator. The elevator was broken down many days while we were there over a 2 week period and I know of 4 different people that got stuck in the elevator 4 different times. Terrible to have such a great complex and such a terrible elevator."

"Sandy Shores #305
Nice place with a great view and good balcony. Couple small issues in that the ice maker didn't make any ice and the dishwasher bracket screw was stripped and kept falling out. A great location right on beach and with John's Pass directly across the street.
Would definitely stay here again."

"#305 sandy shores
View was nice. Condo needs updating, carpet definitely needs to come out, had a dirty smell to it. Furniture in living room should be replaced, it’s very uncomfortable and old. Lamp shades are literally falling apart. Kitchen cabinets are falling apart, appliances need replacing, ice maker didn’t work. Condo needs additional pots and pans. Beds are hard, make sure you bring a topper.
If you like to visit Johns Pass you will like this condo location.

"Peaceful with a nice view
Relaxing and peaceful but not too far from John’s Pass. I’ve been here 3 times and never had a bad experience even with a tropical storm."

"Paradise Found!
My vacation in Maderia Beach was such a great experience! The condo that I rented had a balcony which provided the best of both worlds: time at the beach without the hassle of cleaning sand off every time I ventured out. The condo was quiet and all guests were very respectful in regards to noise levels! The booking experience could not have been easier: Dawn in the office was extremely helpful every step of the way!"

"Vacation
Just okay. The condominium needs major upgrades. Very clean and in a great area - great views. The facility itself needs a face lift. The beds were very uncomfortable - everyone rolled to the middle. The furniture needs up graded. Light shades all had tears and worn areas. "

"Amazing view, great location, bad beds
Amazing view and great location with John’s pass being right across the street! Condo was extremely outdated and beds were very uncomfortable, we ended up using the pull out couch on the third night because it was better then the beds. Overall great experience!"
