109 - Palms of Treasure Island

This is my second time staying at The Palms. I absolutely love the location. Right next door, just steps away, is a Publix grocery store. Across the street is the beach access. Umbrella and chair rentals are available. Across the street and down one block is Sloppy Joes. A great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can eat inside or outside. It is right on the beach. Two blocks down is Ricky Ts. They serve food, drinks, and always have entertainment. I like The Palms because I fly in to St Pete Airport and The Palms is only 15 minutes away. From Tampa airport it’s 35 minutes away. The only time I used an uber was to go to 1200 Chop House. That place is a MUST! The Palms is a condo that is one block off the beach. The pool is located behind the condo where you have a beautiful view of the inlet. I loved watching the boats come in and out. All of the back side condos have a view of the inlet. The front side condos only have the view of the road. Each condo has a nice porch equipped with furniture. I experienced a slight issue once I came into the condo, I made a call, and right away maintenance was there! The only thing I wish were nicer would be the bed sheets. ( I think they need an upgrade. ). The condo hallways need better lighting, the elevator could use a fresh coat of paint. It looks pretty worn, and the inside hallways getting to your condo room need painted. None of what I mentioned will keep me from staying there. The condo I rented was very nice! The lobby and restrooms in the lobby are very nice. I would definitely recommend.

Treasure Island is a magical place to visit and this well-appointed and conveniently located building was the perfect spot for our extended stay this summer. ____We spent 3 weeks at this wonderful condo in June, 2025. Communication on the front end was easy and efficient. The condo was very clean with great linens, super comfortable beds, and a kitchen stocked with all the plates and pans we needed to make simple meals throughout our stay.____The location cannot be beat! It's directly next door to a fabulous Publix and right across the street from a public beach access with available bathrooms, showers, parking for guests who came to meet us at the beach, plus all the gorgeous Treasure Island sunsets we've come to know and love. ____The pool is clean and well-kept and we saw folks maintaining it daily throughout our stay. The AC worked great in our unit and when we had small requests like getting a DVD player that would work with the TV, the onsite maintenance team was quick to respond and solve the issue.____We loved using the perks of the "Free Fun program" they offer and had a blast going to Busch Gardens. My daughter also getting free ice cream multiple times at our favorite local spot, the Candy Kitchen! ____Since the condo overlooks the channel, the dolphin traffic is frequent, and we saw tons of dolphins playing and frolicking in the intercoastal waterway right off of our back deck throughout our stay. ____We appreciated former guests leaving their beach chairs, umbrellas, rafts, and beach toys and used these several times when we walked over to spend the afternoon on the beach. ____All in all, I would highly recommend booking this or any of the other properties that this group of wonderful folks manage. We are very grateful for all your do to create wonderful experiences for your gets, and rest assured that we will be back again for another stay soon! __

I have stayed at many condo's on the west cost. Overall this is a good place. I would come back. Some tips. They have codes to get in and out and access things like the pool area so you actually have to remember things. If you have trouble remembering things, there are a few tattoo shops north of the condo, so you can get your codes tattooed on your hand, I would suggest room code on the right hand, lobby code on the left hand. Getting up to the units they have carts downstairs for luggage, groceries, anything heavy. Use them, but remember to bring them back...and don't bring them to the beach because I think they are aluminum and aluminum would get really hot, so I don't know if the experience of riding the cart to the beach would be worth it or not. Also, because I know you were thinking it, don't jump the cart off the roof and into the pool. Just get that dream out of your head now. Elevator can be a bit slow during the usual busy times and it has a creepy doll voice that tells you where you are going or where you are at. We had a 1st floor unit, so we used the stairs quite a bit (some of us because it is quicker, for me it was mainly to avoid the creepy doll voice). The elevator also had some kind of sign that said don't hold the elevator door or something catastrophic might happen or something like that, which me being a worry wort made me move really fast in and out, but then I saw some other people holding the door and their arms were not ripped off or anything like that so if you want to risk it, I am not liable if you lose a limb. The sign on the wall warned you. Walk to the beach is not bad. Maybe 5 min for my wife and 15 min for me, lugging 2 beach chairs, a back pack, a cooler and a boogie board. You have sidewalks, crosswalks, all citizens behaved well when crossing. No road rages. No weapons drawn. No muggings, no carjackings, no one was run over or anything like that, which for Florida, is a great accomplishment. The beach is in excellent shape but for you beach snobs, this is public beach entrance, so it will be busy. There are also Green Parrots hanging out at the public beach. So if you hear a bunch of cackling, look up and you will probably see them. I don't know if they know how to insult people, but I think the City of Treasure island should consider teaching them some basic insults, because otherwise, what is the point of having parrots at the beach. Also you will see lots of Parrotheads, which in case you don't know, is an old Buffet fan, bronzed, no shoes, mostly to almost totally drunk (depending on what time of day). Treasure Island is a big beach, so there is a long walk to get down to the ocean. Follow the Blue walkway by the restrooms and the giant slide on the hot sand days to give your pedicured feet a break. In case you were wondering about the slide, you have to pay to slide, so in turn, they did not seem that busy. I don't think I saw anyone get on that slide. Maybe the City of Treasure Island should consider replacing it with something else that would make more money and be more Florida related and fun for the family like a storage facility, gun range or a strip club. Having the Publix right next door is a big plus, but note, you cannot access the Publix by car from the building. You have to go out to the road, which going to is easy. Coming back might take longer by car. Do not attempt to drive your car through the concrete wall between the publix and the condo. If you are able, just walk and lug your items up. The unit was clean, beds were comfortable. Not too much noise from other units. Refrigerator works. Oven works. Toaster works. AC worked. Toilet's flushed. Garbage disposal did seem a bit angry at times, but I have a feeling those guys get pretty abused by the insane things people put down them, so maybe show the garbage disposal some love and don't throw a 2 week old left over T-bone steak down it. I did not go to the pool and spent all my time at the beach, but others did and they seemed good with it. It looked like the dock is still under repair and closed (due to last year's storms) and knowing the time frame for most of these dock repairs, they will probably have it up and ready to go in time to be leveled again by this years storms. We had a Bay View on the rear which was really nice. Not sure if the front units get a decent ocean view but I would take the Bay View either way, because ocean side also gets the road, cars, staggering parrotheads, strip clubs, gun ranges (just kidding on the strip clubs and gun ranges). Lot's of dolphins in the Bay also, and from what I could see, no dolphins were hit by raging Jet Skiers or 5 year old kids being dragged in a tube by a drunken speed boat captain. So like I said, overall, this place is good. Would recommend. Thank you owners for making it available, which you probably need to do just to cover your condo fees and homeowners insurance.

This comfortable condo is clean, well-managed, with a covered porch over the inland waterway, facing east. If you are up early, you get good sunrise views over the water. You can’t see the gulf from the condo, but it’s an easy walk across a busy street that has pedestrian signals. Having the grocery store immediately next door is convenient. It’s very convenient also having a washer/ dryer in the condo.

The building and condo were very nice and were at a good location. A food store was directly next to it to make things even better. The pool and Jacuzzi were very nice with a great view of the water.

Everything was great,very relaxing

This place was amazing!! View, pool and beach right across the street. Pool was warm and overlooking the bay. Everything was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice place to stay at Treasure Island!! Condo was excellent. Great location.

We had a great stay… most perfect place will definitely be back

Our stay at the Palms of Treasure Island was wonderful. The room was better than expected with a gorgeous view. The hotel was peaceful and the people we met were very nice and happy. We were able to hang out at the dock in the backyard, or go across the street to the beach where there is also a nice boardwalk and a few bars and restaurants. The iTrip staff was very quick to answer any questions and very helpful. We would be happy to return.

Clean condo with beautiful views in a perfect location!

We were visiting friends in Gulfport. The location was very convenient and liked that the accomodations were within walking distance to the Publix, the beach, and restaurants. Room was clean and well equipped, with a nice view and large balcony. Plenty of room to park, and quiet.

My sister and I had a great stay. The balcony looking over the pool and water was very relaxing. The place was very clean and well stocked with essentials. Location was great and the beds were comfy. I'd highly recommend staying here.
