The Best Place On Earth!


Collwood is a beautiful getaway for me and my family. We have been coming here for over ten years, and each year, we look forward to coming down and staying at Collwood. We have stayed in several units, but 306 has been our pick for the last five years. The unit is beautiful except for the sleeping quarters. The mattresses in both bedrooms are ancient and very uncomfortable. When you go on vacation, you look to relax, unwind, and catch up on your sleep. You can't do that in this unit. Other than that, it is very relaxing at Collwood. We have made some life-long friends while staying at Collwood and I wouldn't think twice about looking at someplace to stay!

Fabulous Vacation!


This is our 10th year staying at Collwood, the last 3 years in Unit 306. We love everything about this place! The apartment is well appointed, the views of the beach from the balcony are beautiful! We walk on the beach daily, and appreciate the convenient proximity to John’s Pass with its shops and restaurants. We have already committed to returning again next year!

Best vacation spot in Madeira


This is my family's 5th year in Madeira Beach, and 4th year at Collwood. There is no better place to stay beachfront (and after staying elsewhere, I'll only book at Collwood!) The building is kept up, the pool is clean (even the bathrooms in the pool area!), every unit we've stayed in has been comfortable and clean, and the building as a whole is so family friendly. The managers Mary & John are the nicest and most helpful--its almost as if we're visiting family now, as they've watched our kids grow over the last several years. Collwood at Madeira has become our summer home away from home, and has provided us with the best memories. It is a short drive (or walk!) to so many attractions. I can not only recommend a condo at Collwood, but would guarantee a great time in one of the very nice units. We are already looking at dates for next year!

Review of Condo 306


Our stay at Collwood Condo 306 was wonderful in every way. Great view of the ocean, very clean condo with nice,comfortable furniture. The beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials. The washer and dryer were our life savers!! The pool was clean and well maintained. The only negative, and it is a small one, is that we would have liked to have a K Cup coffee maker in the condo. Thank you for a great week!

Excellent Facility and Location


Our visit to Collwood 306 was entirely enjoyable. The unit is well-appointed, provides a panoramic beachfront view, and is managed by a hardworking, efficient, friendly, and responsive couple. John and Mary were most helpful and patient. This condo requires no compromises and no risks. Hope to visit again soon!

Perfect spot for some R&R


The View of the Gulf is 12/10!! Our condo was spotless and very well equipped for our stay. The common grounds were also clean and well looked after. BBQ's are a great bonus. John and Mary are excellent hosts, easy to deal with and always accessible. We shall return...... Louis and Susan St.Thomas , Ontario

Absolutely The Best in Madeira Beach!


We loved our stay at Collwood Condos! Located a short walk from John’s Pass, we were able to enjoy restaurants, shopping, the Boardwalk and the beach without driving anywhere! Our unit was furnished beautifully, and we were comfortable sitting on the deck and watching the sunsets as well as relaxing in the living room in the evening. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. We couldn’t ask for any more for a home away from home!! John and Mary are the most gracious and conscientious managers and do everything they can to provide a welcoming experience for all the guests. We won’t hesitate to return!

Vacation at Collwood condo


Back in February we stayed at Collwood condo for a week vacation. We stayed in unit 306. Over the years we stayed at Collwood condo several times, every time it’s a pleasant experience. The location is great, every unit we ever had was great, cleaned and well decorated. I can’t say enough about the on site condo manager’s, John and Mary they are the best.

Our stay was relaxing and very beautiful. This condo is well worth it. The pictures you see are the real deal. This place is Beautiful and everything you need is available. All you need is a swimsuit and sunglasses and this condo does the rest. Mary and her crew are very pleasant and do an amazing job at making you feel comfortable and welcomed. We will definitely be back.

A Perfect Home Away From Home!


We loved our stay here and have already booked our return trip next year. This unit is beautiful with spectacular views of the beach. We didn't miss a sunset from our balcony perch. This is a wonderful location for access to John's Pass, Treasure Island and surrounding attractions. John and Mary (resident managers) are wonderfully gracious and accommodating. They make our stay feel like we are at home.

Beautiful Condos Perfect location!


My wife and I recently stayed in the Collwood. It was a last minute reservation, but Mary was able to get us set up in a nice condo. It was so relaxing and all of the guests were wonderful. Many are repeat renters. I would definitely recommend this location. I asked many of the other guests if their condo’s were nice and clean and everyone had nothing but good things to say. It is also within walking distance to John’s Pass and the beach is fantastic. Paul & Patti

Fantastic Week at Collwood Condos!


We had a great week in Maderia Beach! We stayed in Condo #306, which faces the ocean with a beautiful view. The balcony had 2 chaise lounges, a high top table and 4 chairs. We spent every morning out there having coffiee and watching dolphins. The building only has 30 units and they weren't all occupied so it was prettry quite. We met a lot of nice people while lounging at the pool. There are plenty of beach chairs provided for guests. There are also beach toys and pool noodles. The condo managers, Mary and her husbnd live onsite and they were great! Super friendly and there to help with whatever you need. They also provided laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets as well. There is so much to do within walking distance. John's Pass is less than a 10 minute walk where you will find so much to do. There is a lot of shopping and restaurants. You can also rent wave runners, boats, kayaks and paddle boards. The beach was beautiful and the pool was clean. There are a lot of chaise lounges in the pool area and there are gas grills too! The condo itself was clean. The owners provided a lot of beach towels, books, and games. It was nicely decorated in a beachy theme. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the queen bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. It should really be replaced. Other than that we had a great vacation and we are already planning on coming back next year!

Best Vacation Ever!


Our family vacations in various parts of Florida every year. This year's vacation in Madeira Beach and at Collwood Condos was by far our best vacation...ever! The condo was everything we imagined, an more. Very nice, clean, friendly guests, plenty of room and the on location managers are incredible. Oh, and the best part...the views from the spacious deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. This will now be an annual trip for our family. Thank you so much for the vacation of a lifetime (until next year!).

Our 2nd Home


The Collwood feels like our 2nd home! We have been coming to the Collwood almost 20 years and we will be back soon. Condo 306 was very nice and we enjoyed our January "Get Out of Iowa" vacation. We have stayed in a number of different condos, at the Collwood, and all have meet or exceeded our expectations. The building is secure and the white sand beach, right out the back door, is fabulous. There is great food nearby and we look forward to the amazing sunsets each evening.

Another great vacation at Collwood


We very much enjoyed our month at Collwood, room #306, from December 19, 2020, to January 16, 2021. We found it very relaxing, clean, well decorated and well equipped. The onsite manager team , John and Mary, were always available and went the extra mile for us. The one issue that kept it from 5 stars was the master bed, we found it smaller and less comfortable than we had hoped. We would however, love to stay there again at some other time in the future. Thanks for the nice review. I spoke with the owner and we are trying to see if a King would fit in the master. If space permits they would be glad to update to a bigger bed.

Getaway


This was a wonderful trip. Great location, good parking, very secure. Everything was clean and unit was well stocked. Beach chairs were a plus. Pool was clean and very refreshing since it was 90's in October. We sat and enjoyed our beautiful full beach view each morning and night. Close to many great restaurants. Booking was a breeze and the managers were very attentive. We hope to return.

A Perfect Place For Us


The units have a great layout. The main bedroom faced the beach, not the street like they do in so many condos. Small enough building that there was almost no wait for the elevator. Parking was very easy and there was plenty of room for a second car in the lot between the condo and the street. Mary replied to all of my emailed questions very promptly. Highly recommended.
