Why the Owner Chose Treasure Island
This is the THINNEST part of Treasure Island (merely two lots wide), and the lot across the street is the beach access parking lot! As a result, you can look out the back window at the yachts boating by our private dock on the Intracoastal Waterway - then simply turn your head 180 degrees and look our the front window to watch people walking up and down the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico across the street!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Bring your boat or jetskis ... No Dock Fee (Slip Fee)! OR RENT OUR JETSKIS FOR LESS (Call for details.) ++++ Free boat ramp is just 3 doors down +++ Caddy's Beachfront Bar & Grill is just 100 yards to the south (stumbling distance home!) +++ A short walk or jetski ride to Publix, downtown Treasure Island, great restaurants and "watering-holes" +++ Incredible ocean sunsets

I stayed at the Shell Haven in November. It was in an excellent spot, close enough to both Caddies and downtown Treasure Island to enjoy the partying, but not close enough to either be bothered by the noise and hubbub of other tourists. I loved hanging out under the tikihut in the backyard where I could enjoy a BBQ and some cold ones. The water was too cold to swim (I like the Gulf waters at 80 degress, like in the summer), but I caught a few nice fish off the dock. I stayed at a cheaper place up the street last year, but it was not nearly as clean and well kept. Thanks. I'll be back in the summer!
Owner response:Thansk for the comments, Jack. We're replacing that old tiki hut with a new, larger one; it will be here when you return.... See you this Summer!!!

I took my husband here for this Labor Day Weekend. This was our last opportunity to get away before he started a new job, and we really had a great time saying goodbye to the summer. We discovered a little karioke bar across the street and rented jetskis all day Sunday. That was my first time riding one... WHAT FUN!!! Thanks to Jim for telling us about all the great little restaurants and nightspots.... We'll be back!
Owner response:I'm glad you two enjoyed yourselves... and you sure know how to make great margaritas! Come back soon!!!

My husband and I stayed for a week in early August and really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice being close to everything, and downtown St. Pete was only a 15 minute drive down Central Ave. The property manager kept the place in great shape and just added a few palm trees in the backyard before we came. He rented us jetskis for several of the days, and didn't round UP when we came back 15 minutes late! It was nice waking up seeing the beach across the street every morning.... we will definitely be back!
Owner response:Thanks for the kind words, Beth. See you soon! :D

This was our second time at Shell Haven. The proprietor is a very friendly family man who goes out of his way to make sure you have a good stay. The location is perfect, just yards from the beach and that all too cool back yard of the dock and the channel. If you have a boat it's THE place to rent because you'd have your own slip for the stay. Everything you need is in close proximity, Shell Haven will be a regular stay for my family for probably years to come. I would (and have) reccomend Shell Haven to friends and family.
Owner response:Thanks alot, Marc! I had a good time with you and your family too... next time you come, we'll have the jetskis ready for a cruise around the Boca Ciega Bay!! ;-D

In the bay in the back of the house we seen dolphins and so many birds..i would most definitely be back again..thank u Jeannie for your suggestion to stay here..i will recommend this location to anyone !!!

This was our 2nd year we stayed at Shell Haven over the holidays and we love it. The location is fantastic, the condo is so relaxing on a wonderful piece of property with great views (especially the daily dolphin swim bys!) We stay in the pet friendly apt and it is a wonderful property for Sunny to enjoy that is safe with plenty of room. Location is great, we can walk to the stores and local eateries, etc and right across the street from the gulf. It is our definite place to stay when we are in the St Pete area. Everyone is always so friendly & helpful too!
Owner response:Thanks Coach!! We always have a blast when you visit!!! Hugs to your lovely wife!

My daughter and I stayed at The Shell Haven in the Treasure Island/ Maderia Beach area recently and found it to be a very rewarding experience. The property was absolutely beautiful, clean and the location was conveniently located and we were able to walk where ever we wanted. I found the owner Jim Hebin to be very personable and helpful. Traveling alone with a teenage daughter can be frightening, but he reassured me by letting me know just how safe the area is. I have recommended the Shell Haven and Beach House Jim to all of my friends and family. You really can't beat the quality of care or price. It was very reassuring to know that Jim was just a phone call away.
Owner response:Thank you for the kind words Belinda! We loved having you... hope to see you again soon!

My wife and I celebrated our 30 year anniversary with a week at the Shell Haven this past December. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and comfort. The Property Manager "Beach House Jim" was a amiable fellow who was eager to please, providing us with an extra set of towels from the laundry room. He was replacing all the mattresses before his snowbird season, and they were good quality. It was our pleasure to "break it in" for him!
Owner response:Thanks Gary! It was a pleasure to have you stay with us!

My wife and I just finished a one-month stay at the Shell Haven, and we were very satisfied. The upstairs unit with the patio was clean and well decorated, and our kids and grandchild were able to visit. We would watch the boats go by in the backyard, and our grandchild caught lots of fish off the dock. It was not in the middle of busy downtown, which made it nice and quiet, except for the morning traffic up and down Gulf Blvd. We like modest, quaint places to stay, not big and pricey, and we definitely feel we got our money's worth. We will be back!"
Owner response:You're welcome! It looks like the live shrimp worked better as bait for your grandson than the previously frozen squid. And the fish always bite better around dawn and dusk. We look forward to your next visit!
