About this property

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

[NOTE: Hurricane Helene washed away the pool we used to have and we have not replaced it, but there are old photos of it on the internet that I can't remove. Other damage from the storm was limited to the garage, which will be repaired by as soon as the city inspects it. They are way behind
Relaxed elegance directly on exclusive sandy Sunset Beach! 3 bedrooms with 1 king and 2 queen beds, plus queen sleepers in beachfront loft, master suite and living room, accommodate 8+ guests beautifully. New mattresses and box springs as of November, 2021. Two of the bedrooms are separated by a loft. A description of the floor plan will be provided upon request.

Recently replaced all windows with double pane energy efficient glass, replaced and painted all siding and replaced all insulation, mattresses and box springs and both A/C units.

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 garage with washer and dryer. It is one of only two townhomes in the building.

The unit is dog friendly, and children are welcome but need to be monitored. There is a pet fee of $100 per dog 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. Because power (AC) and water rates are very expensive in Florida, per night prices are listed for 6-person occupancy. Extra persons (up to two) require an additional charge of $35/night plus sales and tourist tax (13% combined).

This is a two-unit townhouse. There was no hurricane damage to the living areas of my unit above the garage. The back porch is separated from the neighboring unit by a wall. My neighbor is not as far along on his repairs as I am, so depending on when you arrive, you may see plywood serving as garage doors on his side. It is unlikely that his repairs will be completed soon. I am working hard to get all of my garage repairs finished soon. The water softener, the grills and accessories were new about the last week of March and are kept in the garage. Do not use them in the garage due to the fire hazard.

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.

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!

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!

We always go to CA for the beaches (since we live in NV) but lately we have tried out beaches on the east coast, and this one certainly did not disappoint. The house is in a perfect location and literally just steps to the beach, we can't say enough good things, we will DEFINTELY be back!

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.
