Treasure Island Beach Retreat Sleeps Up To 6

The best part for me was the bed. I’ve never slept on a more comfortable one, easily 10/10. My husband and I came to Florida for our 10th anniversary and loved the place. It’s comfortable, with beach access across the parking lot and cute shops and good restaurants nearby. Robert was a fantastic, accommodating host. He explained how everything worked, what was expected of us, and pointed us toward some great local food. This is an authentic little Treasure Island spot near Madeira Beach, with a retro Florida feel, bright old-Florida colors, cool tile floors, efficiency-style rooms, and classic turn-key entry. Our unit had a kitchen with the cookware and dishes we needed to make meals. The wall AC worked so well that we actually turned it up because it felt a bit cold at first. We could rent beach chairs and towels for much less than buying them and having to check them for the trip home. Just know the setup is self-service: there’s no cleaning service, and guests are expected to tidy up, wash their dishes, and use towels thoughtfully. They have a good towel exchange system, and you just follow the instructions when you need fresh ones. If you’re independent and low-maintenance, it’s a great place to stay by the beach. If you need room service or daily maid service, a nearby resort may suit you better. This isn’t a luxury hotel. My one suggestion for the owners is to update the TVs. They’re older, connected to vintage VHS/DVD players and DirecTV, with no on-demand option. Adding Roku or something similar would be nice for streaming. I know guests don’t spend much time inside, but sometimes we older folks need a quiet night after getting our Midwest skin baked on the beach all day 😂.
