About this property

Beachfront-Directly on the Sand - Sunset Beach, Treasure Island, Florida


Relaxed elegance directly on exclusive sandy Sunset Beach! 3 bedrooms with 1 king bed in the master bedroom and queen beds in each of the other two bedrooms, plus queen sleepers in the beachfront loft, dressing area of the master suite and in the living room, accommodate 8+ guests beautifully. Mattresses and box springs were replaced recently. Two of the bedrooms are separated by a loft. A description of the floor plan will be provided upon request.

The unit has two new AC units for comfort throughout the house.

Enjoy the pool table room or cook up a romantic gourmet meal in the large and lovely kitchen featuring granite counters and stainless appliances. Walk or (short) drive to restaurants, parks and entertainment, but make sure you are back for the spectacular sunsets! The townhome is furnished with all of the conveniences of home, including a garage with a washer and dryer. It is one of only two townhomes in the building.

It is dog friendly, and children are welcome but need to be monitored. There is a pet fee of $100 and I'll need to know the number, size and breed of the dog(s) and approve them. RESERVATIONS ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL A SIGNED RENTAL AGREEMENT IS RECEIVED AND COUNTERSIGNED BY OWNER.

NOTE: There are three floors of living space above the garage and lots of stairs, so this rental may not be suitable for the elderly or mobility challenged. Also, the condo association limits reservation to not more than 8 (excluding infants) even though the house sleeps 10 or more. Please do not inquire or book if you have more than 8 in your party.

This is a two-unit townhouse. The back porch is separated from the neighboring porch by a wall.

Perfect location and beautiful view

This home is directly on the beach. Location is close to all you need. Night life and great food. House is fully stocked with all you need. Lots of towels, dishes and appliances. Homeowner responded to all concerns very quickly. Yet we didn’t feel invasion of privacy. Other places we have felt uncomfortable by being on constant surveillance. This property was private yet secure and comfortable. We also loved that sleeping quarters were all separated providing privacy as well We had an amazing stay and would definitely return!!

True Gem!!

This is the second summer that we have stayed at this house on Sunset Beach. As many others have attested, the location of this place is incredible. Our family of 6 really enjoyed spending time together here, whether it was on the back porch overlooking the gulf, in the gulf, in the pool, or simply walking the beach. This place has everything we needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable family vacation! It really is a true gem of natural beauty!

We absolutely loved this home. We have stayed at many homes and condos on the beach but this one was the best by far! private pool and a step or two from the beach. It needs some updating but most of the time was spent outside anyway.

Great location but challenging house layout

The location of this house is perfect - both in terms of the area and the amazing beach front access. The neighborhood is quiet, the beach is not crowded, and we were an easy beach walk away from Caddys which was fun for lunch and some late afternoon drinks. The house is also within an easy drive to Johns Pass, Pass-a-Grill and other area locations. The house was also very well stocked, not just in terms of dishes and general supplies, but beach chairs and toys. It was lovely to not have to buy or rent a beach umbrella and chairs for the week. Phil has plenty available and we were thankful for that! The reason for the lower rating is because of the house layout and the pool. There is honestly NO PRIVACY in any of the bedrooms/sleeping areas. I think I may have read a review indicating that but didn't believe it until we actually say it for ourselves. For a single family, this may be OK. But for two families, it was awkward. The master bedroom (with the king bed) is at the top of the very narrow spiral stairwell which I think would be very hard for older people or young kids. Even a single family deserves a little privacy and there is none to be found. It is honestly a very strange layout and a sad waste of space when you consider how great it could be. The second problem was the pool. It was filthy for the our entire week and the maintenance crew didn't show up until the day before we were leaving. In truth, you don't really need a pool at this location (the gulf water was warm and amazing), but if you book a place expecting a pool, you'd be disappointed for sure. We did email Phil about the pool during our stay and he was responsive, but it didn't change our ability to use it. In the end, Phil did make an offer to help remediate the situation which was appreciated, but I would not book this place just because it has a pool.

Spring break

We have stayed at this building in the past however on the other side of the rental which was wonderful and wanted to enjoy the location of this property again. We were so sad to see all the damage that had been done by the recent hurricane but had a wonderful stay in this rental just as we did when staying next door. Anyway hung that needed fixed after the storm was either taken care of before our stay or during our stay in a timely manor. The location right on the beach and close to other things to see and do is amazing and the house is nice and roomy for families to enjoy their stay together!!! Would definitely come back again!

Amazing view and location

The place was as advertised with plenty of beach towels and chairs and an umbrella. Our family of 6 slept comfortably with my husband and I having the private bedroom and bathroom. It was a shock to see how much destruction the area received. All the trees were lost to the hurricane but it really improved the overall view from the deck in our opinion. The houses all around were needing repairs and a house a few down from ours was completely destroyed and still waiting to be removed. At times when the wind was blowing you could smell the decay. The view from the pool table room was amazing and we enjoyed watching the sunset or playing pool and seeing the water views. We were able to walk to two restaurants and Publix was a really close drive to pick up groceries. We would definitely stay there again if we were to return to Treasure Island! Phil was very responsive with the overall booking process and communication with me when I had questions.

Awesome stay!

This is the third time we've stayed at this property. There simply isn't a better place at this price. Some say the inside can use some updating, but I think it adds to the charm of the property. Also, you're going to (or should!) be spending most of your time at the beach, which is literally steps away. Can't wait to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Phil Shasteen

Host profile image
My property was damaged by Hurricane Helene. I am in the process of repairing it and will advise when repairs are complete.

Why they chose this property

My partner and I built this as a two unit townhouse condo several years ago and it has continued to be a two unit condo ever since. You will be renting unit one. Very few beach front rentals in our area are directly on the water or are as large as mine. Most have a long walk to the water or require a trip down an elevator. When you're toting beach chairs, a cooler, an umbrella, etc., that's important. It also brings you much closer to the shelling, wading, swimming and the dolphins that frequently swim by and makes you feel more "into" the beach atmosphere. It's a totally different experience than staying across the street or blocks from the water, which is the case with most of the other accommodations in our area. It literally takes less than about 30 seconds to walk from the back porch down to the water!

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like staying right on a sandy beach. Watching the dolphins swim by in the morning while enjoying breakfast on the back porch was one of my favorites. And the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico are breathtaking! The photos of the beach say it all.

Also, because we are located in a residential area, there is very little public parking and limited beach access, so the beach doesn't get too crowded. Yet, if you want to be around the crowds, you can walk up the beach to Caddy's on the Beach or a little further to where the hotels are located.
