Why Kids Love It
Kids and toddlers love it because of hot tub and pool convenience for them and their parents. The boardwalk connects the front of Sunset Vistas to both pools . . . and access to Tiki bar and the beach walkway.
Don't forget that "Scuba Steve" greets the young ones. There is a box on the boardwalk with occasional beach toys. There is also a box in the condo with beach and pool toys - please wipe off the sand and return (or leave your favorites for "next time").
Parents love the view - and kids love the Shake Shop. The lounge and courtyard gardens are worthy of a stroll while heading to the beach.
Area Information
Five minutes south of John's Pass and five minutes north of downtown Treasure Island, Sunset Vistas is lined by sidewalks, great restaurants, family atmosphere and of course the beach.
Heading to John's Pass in itself is a destination. Check out the welcome center at John's Pass (coupons and specials) - enjoy the custard.
Heading to downtown Treasure Island is another great destination.
Attractions Within Walking Distance
So many within John's Pass and downtown Treasure Island - and on the way to these destinations that can be "walked by" beach or by sidewalk.
Many - you are right in the middle of everything. This is were it is a good idea to also visit the John's Pass Welcome/Visitors center. They will want you to shop at John's Pass but they have great information on downtown Treasure Island also.
Favorite Places To Eat
Restaurants and places:
Great ice cream, Candy Kitchen Madeira Beach.
Salt Rock Grill - atmosphere and one of Florida's best - surf & turf - more . . . check before 5:00 for extraordinary prices - and call ahead.
Middle Grounds Grill - TJ's in Indian Rocks Beach - Conch Republic in Madeira Beach.
Frog Pond and Proinos for breakfast.
Sloppy Joe's in the Bilmar Hotel
The Taco Bus 5 min drive south
Bunch of good Italian Restaurants within 5 min of Treasure Island (or we just like the stuff).
Inside Scoop
Mazzaro's Italian Market is "out of the way" but worth it - the best.
Gulf Bistro (secluded real French restaurant, quaint, romantic and "Paris" - also Madeira Beach).
The Floridian Restaurant for Cuban Sandwich - and other good stuff.
Ricky T's and Caddy's are local favorites and can get "rambunctious" -
Sloppy Joe's is good for live music and that "Key West" environment and you can often sit right by the beach AND there is live music. In the lobby or first level of the Billmar hotel.

Nancy C.Great vacation
You never know what to expect when you stay at a new place. Rick and Charlotte's condo was not a disappointment. It was immaculately clean and well-stocked. The view was much better than I expected, being a side view rather than a gulf front. We had an expansive view of the beach. You can see the beach from the living room, which I appreciate. The balcony is shaded in the afternoon, and the breeze makes it comfortable for sitting all hours of the day. My son had a condo on the other side of the complex, and the sun's heat made it impossible for them to use the balcony in the afternoon hours. Linens and beach towels were abundant, which my grandsons used daily. The beds were comfortable. The living room has a new couch, which is not in the photos. It is very nice. The door uses a code rather than a key card. That is so much better than having to try to keep track of keys and carry them with you every time you leave the condo. We enjoyed the jigsaw puzzles and worked on all of them. There are a few reading books, as well. Rick is an excellent communicator and kept in contact throughout the rental process. My security deposit was refunded the first day after my departure. I would rent from Rick and Charlotte again.

Nancy and Mike - thank you for the great review and for staying in our condo. You probably "best stated" the difference and benefits of being on the Big Beach Side - the detail, the view, the sun and then the shaded balcony AND that you can see the ocean and beach from the living room. Please check back with us. Sincerely, Rick and Charlotte
Welton W.Wonderful stay at this great beach condo!
Condo is aptly appointed and just as listed, nice furnishings and equipped kitchen! Unit was freshly cleaned when we arrive and stocked with some starter items for washing dishes and was easy to communicated with, we will be back!

Linda, Carrie and family thank you again - and for the review and for staying in our condo. Best to everybody during this Holiday Season. Sincerely, Rick and Charlotte
Connie T.Best place ever
We have stayed here for the last 2 years and will return! It’s easy to rent with open communication. Rick and Charlotte have the condo stocked down to beach toys and chairs. It’s a home away from home in an excellent location. They keep the place updated and phone numbers for easy contact even when you’re not trying to sometimes . I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Linda H.Perfect Treasure Beach Vacation
Two families vacationed on Treasure Island 25-30 years ago. We loved it there so decided to go back but just two couples this time. I rented direct with Rick for mid August but due to the Red Tide in that area, he graciously let us move our week to September. We had a wonderful time. The condo is excellent and very clean. The 6th floor view is amazing and has a great view of the beach. It is close to John’s Pass and lots of nice eating places. Weather was great. Rick & Charlotte were great to talk to and work with and we got our damage deposit back within a few days. I would highly recommend this rental. A great price with great amenities. Thank you very much Rick & Charlotte. Hope to return sometime.

Linda and Joe: Thank you for the review and the detail - and yes we did move it from that weekend and moved it out a month. Generally we cannot do that but we had the flexibility that week and appreciate you working with us. The detail and mention of the view and "quick return" of refundable security deposit is all appreciated. You left the place in great condition and obviously you took advantage of the top floor view/location and surrounding amenities. Best to all of you, Rick and Charlotte
Susan P.Wonderful beach condo with an island vibe close to everything
Super clean and well maintained property in a lush tropical setting. We enjoyed excellent food and service daily at the on-site cafe plus great drinks at the poolside tiki bar with the beach just steps away. Numerous conveniently located attractions, shops and restaurants. Also great opportunity to explore nearby historic St. Petersburg. Lots of personal touches by owners Ricardo and Charlotte making our stay truly comfortable and looking forward to a return visit.

Bobby A.Beautiful
This place was absolutely amazing and beautiful. It was so amazing that my family and I didn't want to come back home but unfortunately we had to get back to like (sigh). We really enjoyed the sunsets on the beach and the place we stayed at was even more amazing it really felt like home. Thank you for such a amazing week in a beautiful place to be able to escape all the craziness going on in the world right now. Sincerely the Arrington family

Dear Larry and Laurie: Thank you for providing the detail for future guests and the mention that it "exceeded your expectations" - closeness to John's Pass that we take for granted. Actually, it is close to downtown Treasure Island also. Look forward to seeing you next you and again thanks. Sincerely, Rick and Charlotte
Julie F.Treasure Island **Great Views**Great Location
This condo is located in a great location. You can walk to shops, beach restaurants, and John's Pass. The beach trolley is easily accessible. Great beach, shelling and sunsets. The condo is very nicely decorated, comfortable beds, nice views, washer and dryer and the Shake Shop is really close and really good! You can watch from the deck to see when the line dies down so you don't have to wait as long! Staff was super nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Dear Julie and Samantha: Thank you for the review and mentioning the location, view, beds, amenities - and the general staff at Sunset Vistas - and yes, the location again is so close and within walking distance (or trolley) to just about anything (and in front of Sunset Vistas). Looking forward to future visits. Sincerely, Rick and Charlotte
