This is our third trip to Treasure Island in as many years. The first year we stayed at The Bayside; it was nice but not that convenient to the beach. the second year we stayed at The Suncoast, right on the beach! For the price, the Sunrise can't be beat. Granted, it's not directly ON the beach; however, we stayed in a suite, with a kitchenette, which gave us way more room than the motel style room at the Suncoast, and it was about $100 less.
We were able to see the beach, and sunsets, from our bathroom window. The room was freshly painted and had new flooring. The bed was a little uncomfortable, the plastic shower curtain liner needed to be cleaned with bleach, or replaced, and the shower head needs to be replaced due to poor spray. However, the room was clean and, for the most part, quiet. The maid came in every day. The pool was clean and lovely. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and Caddy's Restaurant, almost every day we were there, so we could enjoy the free, beautiful sunsets.
If you're looking for a 5 star hotel, stay somewhere else. If you want an inexpensive place on the beach, stay at the Suncoast. If you want an even more affordable place, with more spacious room, and don't mind a short walk to the beach, stay at the Sunrise.
Room Tip: Ask for a 2nd floor, one bedroom apt suite that faces east. You get the sunrise AND the sunset.
