We throughly enjoyed having the convenience of having the beach and pool in such close proximity to the beach house. My two small children would go back and forth all day pool and beach and it made it a stress free vacation, thus maximum enjoyment was achieved. Additionally being from Tampa I can attest that Sunset Beach is still a hidden gem within our Gulf beaches. Love it! ##### Melissa L.

We would welcome staying again because of the location and the view.. The unit itself was outdated.. needs new king mattress and pillows and window blinds, among other things. The outdoor deck railings need replacing. Upon arriving, found a dead rat in the middle of the garage. In the kitchen, a live palmetto bug and tiny ants. ##### Abbie R.

Not too touristy. Beach not too busy. If you get some chairs from the garage and put them out early, others will put theirs elsewhere and maintain your view of the beach. Be careful at the top of the spiral stairs as the sub-floor is caving in. Other than that - great stay. ##### Kaye M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda N. Jan 17, 2019 #### Fabulous beach, responsive owner Beach was wonderful - shallow entry to gulf - you can wade way out in the water. Sunsets were exquisite. Home has an extraordinarily well equipped kitchen and very adequate bedrooms and baths. Overall, home is a bit tired and in need of maintenance, but it did not interfere with our enjoyment of the beach and area. Several maintenance problems arose while we were there (HVAC did not work, oven did not work, pool leaked), however, in each case, the owner responded promptly and repairs were made. ##### Linda N.

Beautiful beach home with more then enough room for our family. Spending just a week was not long enough for me. The beach was practically right out our back door. The pool was perfect for the kids to play and swim after a long hot day at the beach. Once we went food shopping there was never any reason to leave and go anywhere, everything we needed was right at our fingertips. However when we did go exploring there was Saint Johns Pass we also ate at Sea Hags restaurant and it was very good. There is more then enough to do and explore around this area! We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful beach home and will definitely stay again! This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah D. Jul 21, 2015 #### We had a great time. The place was wonderful We had a great time. The place was wonderful. The beach is beautiful and we even found a huge starfish. The shade around the pool was great for an afternoon break from the sun. My daughters said we should stay for 2 weeks! Treasure island is beautiful and is convenient to go to the Aquarium, Zoo and easy boat rentals. The house has all you need from the kitchen to beach towels and chairs. Suzann is great to work with and very responsive. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us. We plan a return visit. Deborah Deborah ##### Deborah D.

The house is very well equipped & clean. It is not a fancy house, but for a beach place it was perfect. The biggest negative point is all the stairs and lack of adequate hand rails. We had toddlers in our party & it was difficult to carry/help them negotiate the stairs. For older children & teens, it would not be such an issue. It was great having the pool to use after the salt water. We would love to stay there again when ours toddlers are older. ##### mary beth m.

This was the first vacation we have taken since we were both young. Now I can not imagine a year without at least one. The property was immaculate, and can not be described in words. The location was ideal and could not have been better maintained. I would highly recommend this property to all familys. We hope to experience the same vacation in the new year, and hope others choose wisely as well. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin A. May 15, 2019 #### Great location with everything you need Our family stayed here for a week-long beach holiday, and what really made it special was the direct beach access and the full suite of toys, appliances, and gear. My 2 year old was able to play with beach toys, we had ample beach chairs, and even boogie boards. The beds were comfy and overall we had a great stay. Joanne was easy to communicate with. The room layout was a little challenging for our large group because you had to go through certain rooms to get to others, leaving less privacy. The decor was definitely a bit dated given the price, but it didn't really hinder our enjoyment. Showers and AC all worked great. Would definitely stay again. ##### Erin A.

The location is fabulous and our overall stay was great. The townhouse was clean and they had plenty of towels and beach supplies. I would strongly recommend new outdoor furniture be bought for the lawn. I was pretty shocked at the poor condition of what was there for me to use. I stayed here 3 years ago and there has been an obvious change in the wear and tear. But overall we had a great time and the location is very nice! ##### Dorrie T.

Very nicely decorated. You will love the table in the family room. Great view of the beach. Great for families. We could watch the kids from the porch. If they were at the beach and needed anything, they could go to the house. Also, the Media Room is awesome for the kids The beds are very comfortable, unusual for a rental. There is a Beach Bar 1/2 mile away that you can walk to that has outside seating (Caddy's) OK service. The area of the beach is very quiet and peaceful.Very clean and updated. My family will definatly return. ### 8/10 Good #### Beth M. Jun 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Proximity to the beach is fabulous We felt like the property itself was a little off from the pictures. It is small and a bit awkward layout. The only beach chairs (that were supposed to be in the garage to carry to the beach)were damaged and unusable so we had to buy our own. The pool was very sandy and used a lot by the other family in the duplex so we didn't use it much. The Very very best part was the view and easy access to the beach. It is literally right out the door and we absolutely loved that and the views. The sunsets were amazing!! ##### Beth M.

The media room was perfect for that one rainy day. Pictures don't really show how the place is laid out - it is far bigger than you'd guess. Clean and shiny all the way, but it still had many personal touches that made it seem like a home. Suzann could not have been easier to deal with! I already tied to change my spring beak booking to here, but, sadly, it is already booked : ( ##### Lisa S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Beach-House-Suites-By-The-Don-CeSar.h486468.Hotel-Information) > > [The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-The-Vinoy-Renaissance-St-Petersburg-Resort-Golf-Club.h26276.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachfront timeshare for rent](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Beachfront-Timeshare-For-Rent.h35536837.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Clearwater North-Dunedin by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Clearwater-North-Dunedin.h857230.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Clearwater Beach Marriott Resort on Sand Key](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Clearwater-Beach-Marriott-Suites-On-Sand-Key.h10148.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Hilton-St-Petersburg-Bayfront.h24258.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [Clearwater Beach Sheraton Resort on Sand Key](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sheraton-Sand-Key-Resort.h9173.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information)
