We live locally, and we love the peacefullness of this property. The pool is next to the road but is secluded by palms, its romantic, perfect spot.

This is my favorite place to stay in Treasure Island. It sits right on the bay and it's just across the street from the beach. Beds are comfortable and the kitchenette is nice. Owner is friendly and the location is very conveniently located.

The property is completely remodeled since our last visit due to hurricane damage and we love it. The pool is close to complete and workers were putting on the final plaster coat when we were there. I'm sure it will be awesome when complete. We love the location and seek out properties in that general area and always pick the best value when available. I enjoy fishing at night along their canal dock.

Nice enough place. It was cheap, across the street from the beach and clean. The owners live there, so don't try getting away with parties or anything like that. Was told by housekeeping that the owners LOVE to find reasons for charging extra, but if you are a clean person that leaves no issues, you'll be fine. TV seems to be local cable channels only. NOT a smart TV. Walking distance to shops, a grocery store and John's Pass. Free parking on site. Advertised as a heated pool, but it was not.

The room was clean at arrival. Daily cleaning service was not provided. Every other day was the cleaning schedule. I was there two days so I didn’t get maid service. The bed was very comfortable. The air conditioning worked great. The room was tiled so the beach sand didn’t soil any carpeting. The room served it’s purpose for me and saved money over staying at othe beach hotels.

Likes: its walking distance to the beach. Dislikes: the ac system didn't work well in our room and we were give a fan to keep us cool. We were told that the owners husband was going to come in and check the ac, but he never showed up; the shower was dirty and there was a big area of caulking coming off in the tub; the floor was so dirty it turned my feet black; there was no fitted bottom sheet on the bed and the top sheets had a new stain on it like they hadn't been washed. This place was much too expensive for the condition it was left to us in.

Awful experience from the initial phone call after booking the room to check in and actually getting in the room. I initially called the hotel, as we were looking for a ground floor room as my partner had just had surgery, the man who answered the phone was so rude, told me I would get what was available and hung up the phone. During my check in process, i waited over 15 minutes for the guest to be checked in ahead of me while taking in the very distinct odours from the owners private suite, door open right off the lobby. When i not entered the room it was Ok, just Ok. Don't get excited. Bathroom was a joke, tap in the shower dripped continually, the toilet flushed once and did not ever again, the fridge leaked, the tub was dirty and needed a good cleaning and caulking. Lets just say, i would never stay here nor recommend this as a place to stay.

Great location and excellent price. The room was big and comfortable and had everything we needed. There was just a couple of things that could use improvement. The air conditioner was ridiculously loud, like it’s on its last days or something. The bathroom could use an update. We couldn’t get the water going and had to go tell someone. Basically there was a pull and turn trick to turn the water on. That shouldn’t be a thing that guests have to figure out. Other than that everything was great! The room was super clean, spacious and comfortable. We purposely wanted a room with a kitchenette and we were happy that everything we needed to cook a meal was available to us.

The location of the property was good, we could park and walk everywhere we wanted to go or get the trolley. The property could use a little TLC, our room did not have a clock, microwave clock didn’t work, AC did not cool well, walls very thin. Our neighbor heard us snoring and we heard them sneezing. The area was great but might look around for a different place

This is a family owned and run hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room had everything you need, coffee maker, plates, cups, silverware, full size refrigerator, toaster and a hot plate. The location is right across the street from the beach and a block to the Waffle House and a mile to John's Pass. The area is not as crowded as Clearwater so no fighting the traffic. Would definitely stay again.

I could have went back this weekend but chose not too

Super cute and retro, could be a real gem. Property is beautiful- nice landscaping, awesome palms, great layout of hotel and pool. Walking distance to everything you’ll need- grocery, beach, bars, shopping etc. The cleaning staff was SUPER friendly, marina staff so dang nice. The hotel was adequate, and spacious. Had everything you need. But don’t ask for extras from the managers because they will deny you. Things like extra towels, holding baggage after check out (tried to charge us $150 to stay longer and said they couldn’t guarantee the safety of our luggage- there are cameras everywhere), they block the driveway with their Mercedes which doesn’t move, and cone off the other driveway. They are not helpful, their living quarters is wide open to the office, which is weird and the office smells of fried food- which isn’t welcoming. Seems dingy and dirty. Overall, the front office lacks professionalism and attentiveness.

Owners/management was very rude. Gave me wrong room. Argued with me for 20 minutes finally realized they were wrong. First room I had ( wrong room) was awful. 2nd room was much better but found out later had no hot water. Which I brought up at check out and their response was if has to run for 30 minutes first. After my check in the owner also got in a confrontation with someone in the parking lot. The pool is also out of service. Also knocking on door @ 10:50am with attitude about check out. As I was checking out there was also another patron in an argument with these people.

This really is an excellent little place to stay amongst some of the giant resorts on Treasure Island. The air was ice cold, the room was clean, and had everything you need to cook utensil wise. It isn't beachfront but it is waterfront and directly across from the beach on Gulf Blvd. Do yourself a favor and book this place!
