We recently visited the Treasure Island. We arrived around midnight, on a Saturday night with no reservations. We found the Trail's End.
We did stay in one of the gulffront rooms. No patio or balcony but a beautiful panaramic view from the huge windows more than made up for it.
The furnishings were new and beautiful rattan. The sofabed had a new mattress. The kingsize bed was very comfortable. We did rearrange the table, so we could watch tv. The kitchen was small but had plenty of dishes, pots and pans. (even wine glasses) There was a large closet area. The backdoor was located in the bathroom, great for changing clothes after enjoying the beautiful white sandy beach.
We were there the week after laborday weekend. We had lots of privacy. the staff was helpful when needed, even getting us an extension cord so my daughter could play a dvd in the closet area.
The town area didn't offer much family fun after dark. but the pool was great. The gardens were beautiful, palm trees everywhere. postcard perfect.
The other guest were friendly, but we really had the pool and beach to ourselves most of the time.
I did feel it was a tad overpriced for the season. However i would visit them again if I'm ever in the area.

The Motel needs alot of updating and a good cleaning. I don't mind a place that looks it age, but it was unclean. There was a dead bug in the lighting panels in the bathroom. Old spagetthi sauce on the walls. Not near enogh pans, dishes or cup for the kitchenette. Thank God the Arvilla Motel next door had an opening.
The pool was very murky. I think at one time the place was really cool, but it needs help now!!!

We stayed there for 4 days. Unfortunatly we had a room directly to the street.
The room itself was sticky, dirty and has to be urgently renovated, thats what we told the desk clerk. She said, it may be renovated in the future.
The kitchen was not fully equipped. A lot of dishes, cups, pots.... were missing.
So you can't cook anything, except for spaghetti or pizza in the oven (if you don't mind the dirt).
I am really not that perfect myself in house-cleaning, but if you visit Trails end, you should be aware that this is really so dirty, that (after showering) stepping over the carpet leaves your feet black. Use shoes, all time. The wall paper is also lose.And the sofa bed is not good to sleep on, its at least 20 years old. All furniture was more than only used...
Only the new renovated gulf front apartments are delightful. I had a view into one.
If you stay in this apartment, you are a lucky person. The beach is great, anyway.
You are directly on white sand beach, near to Johns pass village, so the environment is great.
Pool area was also nice and the garden was gorgious.
But remember: when booking, ask for the newer renovated gulf front rooms, then your stay can be perfect!

We arrived at about 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday to the most awful place I've ever stayed. We looked immediatly for another place. We ended up having to stay one night. We had 6 people in our group. Our bedding had not been cleaned, their was animal hair on it. As my girls were going to sleep, one sat up and asked where that strange light was coming from. It was a crack in the wall and she could see the street lights! The was an outlet hanging in place because of so many holes in the wall. Smelled of mildew, our carpet was overly wet. This is not a place to stay if you have any taste. Drink alot if you plan to stay so you won't notice the difference!
We had 4 teens with us and they all said they would rather go back home than spend their Spring Break at the Trails End. It was the "End of the Trail" for us!
