The Sands of Treasure Island

Property is in a great location close to beach with nice pool. Its an older motel and needs a lot of updates.

Raining and cold weather but really enjoyed the outdoor heated pool in the rain. Nostalgic hotel from the past and direct access to the beach which was why we picked it. Big room with basic older furnishings and clean.

Nice place to stay, very calm It’s an older building, but it’s well maintained for its age

This hotel is classic Florida. A mom and pop place. All staff were friendly and helpful. Our TV didn’t work. Within 10 min we got another. It was clean relaxing, on the beach and boardwalk. We loved the retro beachside place as opposed to a huge, sterile high rise resort. Unfortunately the Sands sadly closes in August a victim of a corporate grab. The family will make money but they said it was bittersweet losing the property. We will miss it. It will remain a good memory of “old” classic Florida.

We had such a wonderful time there. We were able to enjoy the company of family amd friends. I would definitely recommend this stay and plan to stay again soon.

This is not the fanciest place to stay on the beach. Our first room was dirty and we needed to be changed to another room our second room was very clean very plain there is nothing fancy about this place. It is perfect for a couple days stay if you are on a budget and you want to be able to walk straight out to the beach. This facility really needs some updating and I would say the rooms really need to be upgraded in decor. I understand the hotel is 77 years old but for the location and price you pay to stay that hotel could have so much more potential. The best thing about this place is it's directly on the beach and that the front desk was available 24 hours so if I had any issues no matter the time the nice lady in the front was always there to help me. All the people that work ,pare all very nice and sweet, friendly. It's a little run down it really needs some TLC and I hope the owners read this and give that building what it needs cuz it could be a diamond in the rough. It would look 10 times better even with Dollar store decor. Those rooms could be made to look really cute. I didn't mind parking down the street it really is not that far like people like to act it's really close not far at all. I would stay here again but only if it was my last resort.

Easy access to walking path and beach.

Loved the beach access. Property needed a good handyman since we had problems with key in doorknob and light bulb was burned out in entrance Staff very friendly.

The online pictures are 100% inaccurate. The pool now has a black fence around it and there's maybe 2 foot of space between the pool and the fence.So the big deck area showing in their pictures no longer exists. Parking was horrible, only 10 spaces by hotel. If you didn't snag one of those spaces you had to cross a busy 4 lane road go down A block turn a corner to the covered parking. as a solo female traveler. I was not comfortable at all walking from that dark lot to the hotel at night. Missing vertical blinds, mismatched curtains. This place is being torn down this fall, so I guess they just riding out their last summer. I love these old hotels, it's a shame to see a place in this condition.
