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, in many units 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 of this Vacation Home
Bring your boat or jetskis... No Dock Fee (Slip Fee)! ++++ 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 to Publix, downtown Treasure Island, great restaurants and "watering-holes" +++ Incredible ocean sunsets

I'm sending you this e-mail to let you know that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves when we were there in March. My niece had never been to Treasure Island before and just fell in love with the whole area. We will be coming back again. Also, your manager, John, was such a hoot! He made everyone feel at home. Shell Haven was so quaint! We all loved the cottage and the surroundings. Like I said, "we will be back" Thank you so much, Patti Parsons
