About this property
Funshine Sunset Beach - Directly Across from Beach • Free Parking
Directly across from Sunset Beach — one of Florida's most beloved hidden beaches — with free private parking that most visitors can only dream of. Step out your door, cross a quiet street, and you're barefoot in the Gulf in under five minutes. End every evening on the balcony watching the sky turn pink and gold over the water.
Funshine Sunset Beach has a personality all its own — charming, cozy, and filled with original art from local Tampa Bay artists that makes it feel genuinely special. The bedroom features a comfortable queen bed with soft coastal touches that guests consistently love. The living space includes a memory-foam Murphy bed that folds away during the day, keeping the layout open and airy. The fully stocked kitchen makes quiet dinners in easy, and beach chairs, cooler, and towels are all included so you can head straight to the sand.
Here is what makes Sunset Beach genuinely special: there is very limited public parking here. The locals love it because it stays beautifully uncrowded — and staying at Funshine Sunset Beach means you have free private parking and effortless access to one of Florida's best-kept secrets. Forget your sunscreen? No problem — you are close enough to run back and grab it.
The building has a wonderfully warm, social atmosphere — neighbors gather on the shared balcony walkway in the evenings to watch the sunset together and chat. It is the kind of community feel you do not expect from a vacation rental and cannot help but love. Caddy's and Ka'Tiki are just a short walk away for beachside drinks and bites.
What guests love: - Directly across from Sunset Beach — one of Florida's most beautiful hidden beaches - Free private parking — rare and invaluable at Sunset Beach - Under 5 minutes door to water - Balcony with Gulf sunset views - Original art from local Tampa Bay artists - Queen bed guests love - Memory-foam Murphy bed — sleeps up to 4 - Beach chairs, cooler and towels included - Board games included - Walk to Caddy's and Ka'Tiki

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed the location, the quiet beach, and those incredible sunsets from the balcony — that view never gets old! It was our pleasure to be responsive during your stay, and we would love to welcome you back to Funshine Sunset Beach anytime. See you next time! 🌅🌊
We had a great time. Room was clean. They had amenities like sunscreen in case you forgot. The area was peaceful even with ongoing construction from the hurricanes. The decor is perfect for a beach getaway.

Thank you so much for this kind review and for your understanding about the construction — we appreciate your patience more than you know. We're so glad the little extras like the sunscreen came in handy and that the peaceful beach vibe still shone through! The decor was a total labor of love so hearing that it felt just right for a beach getaway makes our day. Hope to welcome you back to Funshine Sunset Beach soon! 🌅

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is as close to the beach as you can get without being on the beach. The owners have supplies everything you need for a comfortable stay. I would definitely book again in the future!
Great location, close to everything. Description of property was very accurate. Parking was no problem at all, parked right in front of the building. Check in/out process was easy and the host was quick to respond to all questions. Comfortable bed and very clean! I will definitely stay here again.
Fabulous location! The condo is beautiful, with every comfort, and the kitchen is so well equipped, it's a joy!
Nancy and Evan are attentive, and super helpful.
Thank you for a terrific two weeks!
This apartment is recently renovated in a cute beach theme, is very clean and well appointed. The Murphy bed mattress is very comfortable. The beach is an easy walk across the street. The host was prompt and easy to reach.
Highly recommend!

My family and I really enjoyed our beach staycation. The condo was very well decorated to encourage relaxation and family bonding. It is truly your home away from home! The hosts are very thoughtful, there were card games (Uno etc), beach chairs, beach toys, all type of toiletries.
They're courteous and very responsive
For anyone looking for a beach area in Florida to visit, I highly recommend Treasure Island and Sunset Beach. The beach was gorgeous and not crowded at all. Funshine condo was perfectly located steps from the beach and very close to restaurants and shopping. The condo itself was immaculately cleaned when we arrived and had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. I cannot say enough great things about this place! We will definitely stay there again on our next visit down there.
Nancy and her husband shared their story in the "Welcome Book" and we immediately felts their warm welcome. You will see all their personal touches added to make you feel at home from supplies in the kitchen and bathroom to all their artwork. You will love it here!
This condo was exactly as described in the listing. Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Perfect for 2 people. Beach access was super easy. We enjoyed use of provided beach chairs, towels and extra sun screen. The area was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. We walked the beach each morning. There were a lot of shells to be found, even sand dollars and star fish. We will definitely try to return.
We loved everything about our stay. What a gracious host. We were only there for a quick stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The host provides so many extras ... beach chairs and towels are just a couple to note. As someone who knows owners that have had things taken by guests, I believe the level to which they supply extras is truly extraordinary! My husband and I enjoyed a few local places. If you're a sports fan, Fergs is worth seeing ... interesting concept and fans representing multiple teams on a football Sunday.
We would return! Met some people staying two months in similar units so this property can fit extended stays!
We had a wonderful stay! The location to the beach and the beach toys and towels provided were a huge plus! We knew it was on the smaller side but it really is the perfect stay for someone who plans to be out exploring most of the day and using the home to shower and sleep. The host checked in to make sure we had everything we needed! Would definitely visit again!
Condo was super cute and super clean! It had everything that you could want and need for your stay. Nancy was awesome and very prompt in communicating with us with anything that we had questions about . Would definitely stay again!!

About the host
Hosted by NANCY
Evan and I are 20-year Tampa Bay locals who genuinely love this area and love sharing it with guests. I have hundreds of five-star reviews across booking platforms and a 100% response rate — fast communication is something guests consistently mention in reviews. We built Funshine Getaway because we wanted visitors to experience Treasure Island the way locals do, not just as tourists. Our digital guidebook is packed with honest personal recommendations for the best restaurants, hidden gems, and local experiences you won't find on any generic travel site.
Why they chose this property
Sunset Beach is one of Florida's best kept secrets — a stunning stretch of Gulf coastline at the southern tip of Treasure Island with very limited public parking, which is exactly why it stays so beautifully uncrowded. The community here is warm and friendly, the sunsets are absolutely otherworldly, and Caddy's and Ka'Tiki are just a short walk away. We chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures what we love most about Treasure Island — laid back, local, and genuinely beautiful.
What makes this property unique
Free private parking at Sunset Beach is genuinely rare — most visitors circle the block for an hour. Our unit is directly across the street from the beach, filled with original art from local Tampa Bay artists, and designed to feel like a charming coastal home rather than a generic rental. The balcony sunset views, the memory-foam Murphy bed, beach chairs and cooler included, and a host who answers within the hour make this a very different experience from booking a faceless property.
