Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We stayed at the Surf Beach Resort for 7 days at the beginning of June. The room was perfect for a small family; 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, washer/dryer and a nice size balcony overlooking the beach. There are up to 6 people permitted per room, but I would find that arrangement a bit crowded. There were dispensers in the shower with shampoo.conditioner, shower gel-good quality and we will not pack these items next trip. The room we stayed in also had some beach chairs/umbrellas available for our use (this might not be true of all the rooms). The room was very clean when we arrived. The pool/hot tub are well maintained and clean. There is also a nice sundeck and grills/picnic area which we did not use this trip, but looked inviting. Very good location, close enough to walk to many restaurants and stores. I would definitely choose to stay here again when traveling to Treasure Island!

Surf Beach Resort is located within close walking distance to restaurants, souvenir shops, groceries, and most importantly, the BEACH! It's right in the middle of the Treasure Island beach trail, which is lit at night, and is a great path to restaurants on the beach, or just a nice path for walking and people-watching.
Our condo, #602, has two bedrooms, two baths, a living area and a full kitchen. It came equipped with everything we needed for our vacation: a TV in each room, an extensive selection of DVDs and DVD players in each room, stacked washer and dryer with detergent, plenty of white room towels and striped beach towels, plenty of bed pillows, alarm clocks, hair dryers, soaps and shampoo, linens, kitchen items include plates and cups for 8, basic appliances, (no seasonings or food), coffee maker with coffee set-ups for two, toaster, blender, hand mixer, pot and pan, utensils, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, a room safe, a couple of games, and a few beach chairs. There were four chairs, a side table and a small breakfast table on the balcony, which made morning breakfast so nice. The sofa in the living area folds out and has a pump for the sofa bed, so there's room for lots of family. It's a small condo, but we weren't there to stay inside. It was very comfortable for breakfast on the balcony, afternoon naps, evening snacks, and sleeping at night. We also had a numbered parking spot. Only one was available for our room, so if you travel with more than one car you might want to call ahead and make sure there's another spot available.
Although our condo wasn't as clean as a hotel, it was just fine for a beach vacation. Door handles, light switches, and some areas on the walls and cabinet handles needed attention, so I just wiped everything down myself with the cleaning solution I found under the kitchen sink and carried on. There was no reason to call the office. Otherwise, the beds were clean and fresh, towels looked brand new, and the pillows were actually quite comfortable. The bathroom toilets and showers were clean, but the buildup on the shower heads did interfere with the water pressure a bit. There was no musty smell that sometimes accompanies a humid environment. The room smelled clean and fresh.
We happened to be there for July 4th and what a show! There were fireworks up and down the beach for over 90 minutes! It was surreal to see that so many people had brought their own fireworks. It was an unexpected highlight of our trip.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions.
I have stayed at other condos on Treasure Island, and this was my first visit to Surf Beach Resort. I would gladly choose to stay here again.

Overall very good. Very few exceptions like needing a colander in the kitchen to strain noodles, however this is being knitpicky ... The place had plenty of towels for the family, a great location and the entire space was well maintained and very clean. We could watch pool maintenance each day and considering the fact we have our own pool at home we had a lot of appreciation for the checking of chemicals and cleaning of the pool each day. Wonderful set of grills (Weber) and BBQ area with tables we took advantage of with some guests we had over for dinner. Lastly the staff were friendly, helpful and service minded. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recomend

Tried this place because you can obtain a direct gulf view for the same money I paid for a partial view at another location. All rentals have their problems. This resort does not service condos that are rented through VRBO and the manager made that clear when I visited it prior to my stay. The unit we stayed in needed a new master bedroom mattress and pillows, as they were terribly smelly. The bed in the guest room had to be repaired o avoid the caving in, in the middle. The shower head in the guest room was also replaced because of the pressure loss. There is no security, so enough of us had to listen to people making a lot of noise, unheeded until 3 am in the morning.

Unfortunately you did not book under Sunsational Beach Rentals and we do accept VRBO reservations but this looks like you booked through another owner at this location. We always strive to create a cohesive atmosphere and with Sunsational you would have been afforded an after hours number to call when issues were to arise. I will forward this information on to the home owners association as we all need to have units that are of equal value.

We had to cancel plans for previous trips due to COVID-19. Took 3 of our grandchildren here for a week. This place has a good location right along the beach. There is a boardwalk out back that's good for walks and biking. Several restaurants are close enough to walk to (Recommend Sloppy Joe's). Condo was clean and efficient. Word of advice regarding use of the dryer. You have to put it on EXTRA DRY for your clothes to get dry. I ran it on regular dry with just 2 bath towels and 2 floor mats and it took 3 cycles !!!!! Overall we had a great time

Great location and plenty of space for the 6 of us. Beautiful view of the gulf from our balcony. Kitchen well supplied with items we needed to prepare our own food (check the fridge door as sometimes it didn’t close properly). Wondering when the last time the tile floors were actually cleaned as our feet got very dirty if we walked barefoot in the condo. But didn’t go there to worry about that so much as we had all we needed to enjoy our stay. I would recommend to families any time. Some beach supplies like chairs or umbrellas would have topped it off as we had to buy these and left them there.

My wife and I booked this condo for our anniversary and it lived up to all of our expectations. The condo itself itself is located on the beach and our room had great views of the gulf (i.e. you can watch the sunset over the Gulf)! The condo was well maintained, clean and with all the appliances you need for a few days. They also had beach chairs and an umbrella to take onto to the beach. The beach is walking distance and there are plenty of nice food options around. Our room was on the 4th floor and given the COVID pandemic, we were glad to see that we could use outdoor stairs to go up. There is an elevator for those who choose to use that. Lastly, the staff is excellent. On our last night, we accidentally locked ourselves out at midnight. We called Valerie and she came to our rescue within half an hour. She was kind, friendly and had a smile on her face, despite us calling her so late. This is a great place to stay. You won't be disappointed!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a great location to walk to great nearby restaurants (VIP Mexican is great), shopping and even to Publix if just picking up a few things. I wish I could say our condo was as clean as everyone else says but it was not. I did not complain or call on it just handled it ourselves (turned sheets over, sand all over the floor, hair in the guest bath shower). Unit 405 has a great view, ok kitchen (literally zero things like salt and pepper), furniture and especially the master bed are in very used shape (VERY). The condo bldg exterior is in great shape just don't stay in #405. Also, there is a rental company on the beach to rent chairs from for very reasonable price...super nice people, highly recommend because the condo has zero things for the beach. One more note, the last night apparently elephants moved in above us and you could hear their every single movement!

We had 2 condos, 2nd and 5th floor. Condos were spotless and all systems working...AC was very cold and the thermostat was easy to adjust. Full size washer and dryer in the condo. Check in and check out was very easy. The pool and spa were perfect and very clean. We had a great time on the beach. Great location. Walking distance to restaurants (Middle Grounds across the street) highly recommend., shops and grocery store(Publix)

Hi no coffee shop on the boardwalk but a couple of the bigger hotels are open to non residents. They have open areas onto the boardwalk where they offer coffee or bar service.
There are more places to choose from in the Treasure Island area.
