Private cottage on Treasure Island! Salty, sunny, beachy, arty, updated & comfortable. Great view!

Originally built in 1938, the Seahorse Cottages are a unique & historic Treasure Island beachfront experience. We bring you a perfect blend of new world sophistication blended with the old world charm of beach days gone by.

Family Fun
So relaxing. Nice cozy feel. Breathtaking view. Loved the bonfire pit! Limited place to put anything, but a small price to pay for the experience. Very clean for a 1930s bungalow. Had fun relaxing, tanning even fishing. Thank you so much for sharing your property for others to enjoy.

Bitty beach cottage
Sweet, tiny rustic cutie cottage. Clean & simple right on the sand. We didn’t care for the proximity to the busy main road (very noisy) & really didn’t like the all night long lighted parking area ( room-darkening shades would be perfect) loved the Alexa for music & all the available beach stuff… lack of privacy though due to the closeness of other cottages & the shared outdoor space. We still would stay again though because the highs far outweigh the lows! Lots of walkable restaurants, shops & the Publix right across the street w/ attached alcohol store was greatly appreciated!

A Slice of Heaven
When I saw this listing, it seemed to good to be true. A cottage ON THE BEACH? No way. "What's the catch?," I thought. NO catch. The yellow Seahorse Cottage is exactly as picture but more. Completely charming, vintage cottage with modern updates who back door leads to SAND. SKY. WATER. No hallways. No elevators. No noisy bars. A total slice of heaven. Comfortable bed, updated kitchen, extremely responsive property management (the web app they send ahead of your visit is beyond helpful >> you'll be renting from professionals), unbelievable location (yes, on the beach, but also directly across from the one actual supermarket on Treasure Island, steps away from a beach boardwalk, down the block from plenty of restaurants and shops, but tucked away in its own quiet corner.) I hesitate to share here. Don't book my week for 2025! ;)

Exactly as shown
Very organized check in and providing us with the information we needed for our stay. This place is "no frills" - exactly as shown, not a lot of extras. The location - on the beach and across the street from Publix, is great.

Location, location, location!!
Amazing to walk from your door to the sunset in seconds. Very Clean, and the a/c kept us cool all week! Sloppy Joes Treasure Island had great food and drinks and was a short walk away (like 2 min.)! On the days we felk like staying in from dining there is a Publix directly across the street. Many other restaurants and Johns Pass were a 8-10 dollar Uber ride away, which is convenient especially if you partake in adult beverages. Communication with Itrip was always prompt. Absolutely an amazing experience from beginning to end and we will be staying again and again. My only small complaint would be the shower head was way too low.(I'm 6'2),but my fiancee is 4'9 and it fit her perfectly ;). Overall 10/10

Cottage with Old Florida charm directly on the beach. Recent updates made the place very comfortable, and the neighbors we met in the communal outdoor area were friendly. Hope to be back!
