Unique, private, cozy, updated vintage cottage w/ sand in your toes from the front door!

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. With an total interior renovation in the Fall of 2022, these rustic cottages and apartments have all been updated, well maintained and all are equipped with new air conditioning units, kitchens, and an olde Florida feel that is hard to come by these days.

If you’re looking for the modern conveniences of a newer building, this may not be the place, but if you’re looking for a special beach experience that is well maintained and clean, then there is no better destination than the Seahorse Cottages. We are located directly on the sand along a pristine section of beach in the heart of Treasure Island, and conveniently situated just across the street from the large Publix grocery store and downtown Treasure Island.

Winter getaway
The discription listed was accurate. All items were in working order. Nice sitting area shared by group of cottages. Steps to beach. Wonderful flat pretty beach to walk or hang out on. I felt safe in this neighborhood. I would come alone or with a friend besides coming with spouse. Just walk across the street to full size grocery store. The app you can download on phone is extremely helpful. We had a couple of small issues and host took care of them and got back to us in a timely manner. The extra activities offered were a great deal too. Very nice cottage and location for a winter escape.

It is a very nice vintage cottage. Things were not perfect but the location would be hard to top, the beach being just outside the door. Good variety of beach equipment to use, grill, and fire pit with wood provided.

MY FAVORITE PLACE
This is my 3rd time staying at the cottages. I will go nowhere else. Perfect location!! The drum circle every Sunday is ALWAYS my highlight. This time I got up the nerve to enter the circle and dance. Such an amazing time. If you are looking for a warm cookie on your pillow look somewhere else. These are original cottages from back in the 60s I believe. The fire ring is also a highlight for me also!! Watching the sun set with a small fire burning is just remarkable!! My husband and I were married just outside the Cottages in 2019. Unfortunately he passed 12/25/22. Such grand memories the Cottages have brought me. I will forever be grateful for such an amazing place. Thank you so much Charles for keeping the Old Florida alive!!
