This place is awesome! I remember staying here in the 70s as a kid. Its still has all the charm and real retro flair! We stayed for a weekend (my boyfriend and I) in June of 11. The staff was friendly, pool great , rooms clean! It would be a great location for a tiki event. I would recomend one... More

We went to The Sands of Treasure Island last weekend with our four children for a weekend vacation. We had a wonderful time. We stayed in a one bedroom efficiency near the pool. The room had plenty of space for six people to sleep comfortably. There is a couch that folds out to a bed and a single day bed... More

I have been coming here since 1948--one year after it opened. At that time it was the only thing on TI. I returned after a 45 year hiatus and found the same steel furniture and Naughahyde furniture from my youth. It is very friendly and the same group seems to return during summer holidays every year. Best secret--enjoy the breezeway.... More

Once again we visited Treasure Island, FL on vacation and once again we stayed at The Sands. This ear we stayed in the very same room I stayed in as a child so this brought back many wonderful childhood memories. The unique thing about The Sands of Treasure Island is that it's very affordable, located on the beach, and roomy.... More

If you are looking for an affordable no-frills place to stay directly on the beach, this is the place for you. The layout of the motel reminded me of a 60s movie, and the furniture and decorations were definitely retro chic but we didn't mind it because we didn't spend a lot of time inside. The efficiency we stayed in... More

I made my reservation in the middle of the week and went there to check it out that coming Sunday. The AC in our room that they had reserved for us didn't work. The young lady at the office assured me she knew nothing about it, and she would let the manager know and have it fixed before the next... More

If you want to see a rusty fridge along with a rusty kitchen table, by all means stay here after spending prime dollars for a place on the beach. NEVER AGAIN, I would rather have stayed home! It was supposed to be a "mini-vacation" the only thing that turned out good was the weather, thank heavens. Don't waste your money... More

First of all, we loved it. Just our style. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Well maintained. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean pool. The kitchenette was the coolest old (antique) setup. The sink, cabinets, range top, oven, and fridge all in one! Too bad the old fridge no longer worked, but there was a working modern model in the room along... More

Once again we spent our vacation at The Sands and once again had a fantastic relaxing time. The staff, from manager to housekeepers, we very kind and welcoming to the 5 of us. The room was cleaned daily and the pool was the cleanest I've ever seen. Some had mentioned the pool being "salt water", but I believe it's actually... More
