Why this is on a Realtor's website

I sell the dock, the depth and the bridge. Here's one you can sleep next to.

Most of what I do is explain to buyers what the water behind a house is actually worth: how deep it is at low tide, what's between the dock and the Gulf, whether the house sits high enough that the insurance makes sense. This is a house where I can show you instead of tell you. I co-host it with iBeach Management, and it was built this year to the standards I spend my days telling people to look for.

So if you're coming to Treasure Island for a week, this is the one I'd put you in. And if you're coming to figure out whether you want to live here, it's the cheapest way I know to find out.

The part I'd check first

The dock, by the numbers.

A lot of "waterfront with dock" rentals around Tampa Bay sit behind a fixed bridge or 30 minutes up a canal, or the slip isn't for guests at all. Ask that before you book anywhere. Here's the answer for this one.

  • Max boat40 ft, tied up. Jet skis fine. Lifts on site are not for guest use.
  • Depth10–12 ft at the front of the dock. About 3 ft at the side tie-up, so skiffs and jet skis go there, bigger boats go on the front.
  • BridgesNone between the dock and the Gulf. No clearance math, no drawbridge schedule.
  • To open waterUnder 5 minutes out the pass. Nearshore reefs within a few miles, then offshore.
  • Boat rampPublic ramp about a mile away. Parking at the house is 3 vehicles total.
  • By boat from hereShrimpy's for lunch, Shell Key for the sandbar, Egmont Key for the fort, Pass-a-Grille's bay side for a drink. The December lighted boat parade runs right behind the house.

Where it is

Treasure Island, the honest version.

Treasure Island sits between St. Pete Beach and Madeira Beach with a personality all its own. More laid-back than polished, more local than tourist. No high-rise strip the way the bigger beach towns have. A beach you can actually walk to from most of the island, a pass to the Gulf at each end, and the Intracoastal right behind it.

I've written about what it's like to buy here and about Treasure Island vs. St. Pete Beach to actually live in. Staying for a week is the fastest way to decide for yourself.

St. Pete Beach is a couple of minutes over the bridge. Pass-a-Grille and the Don CeSar are 10. John's Pass is 10 the other way. Downtown St. Pete is 20. The full things-to-do list is on the rental site.

For buyers

Thinking about a vacation rental of your own?

Treasure Island has an active short-term rental market, and after Helene and Milton a lot of the island is being rebuilt the way this house was: elevated, to current code, with the living space above the flood line. That changes the math on insurance, on resale, and on whether a rental actually cash-flows.

What makes a good STR here is the same thing that makes a good house here: walkable to the beach, a dock that fits a real boat, no bridge in the way, and elevation you can prove with a certificate. The ones that don't work are the ones priced on the lifestyle with a canal that goes dry at low tide. I check all of it before you write an offer, and I'll tell you which streets the city treats differently on rental rules.

Tell me what you're thinking, or start with the Treasure Island waterfront guide and the post on what it takes to build here.

Treasure Island vacation rental, demystified

The questions people actually ask before they book.

The dock, the beach, the storm question, and why a Realtor is telling you about an Airbnb.

Is there an Airbnb in Treasure Island with a private boat dock?

Yes. This one. A brand-new 4-bedroom house on Treasure Island with a private dock that fits boats up to 40 feet, power and water at the dock, and a fish-cleaning station. It books through Airbnb.

How far is the house from the beach?

About 900 steps. Two minutes on foot, with a wagon at the house for the chairs and cooler.

Can I get a boat from the dock to the Gulf without going under a bridge?

Yes. Straight out the pass to open Gulf in under 5 minutes, no fixed bridge and no drawbridge. That's rarer around here than it sounds, and it's why offshore fishermen like it.

How deep is the water at the dock?

10 to 12 feet at the front of the dock, about 3 feet at the side tie-up at its shallowest. Bigger boats go on the front. The lifts at the dock are not for guest use.

Is the house safe in a hurricane?

It was built in 2026, elevated to current FEMA standards with the living space on the second and third floors, above the flood line, and built to current Florida hurricane code. Parts of Treasure Island took water in 2024. The houses going up now are built so that doesn't happen again.

Why is a Realtor's website talking about a vacation rental?

Because I spend my days telling buyers what a dock, a bridge and an elevation certificate are worth, and this is a house where I can show you instead. I co-host it with iBeach Management. Stay a week, see how the island actually lives, and if you want one of your own, you know where I am.

Can I buy a vacation rental on Treasure Island?

Yes, with homework. Treasure Island allows short-term rentals in a lot of the city, with rules on registration, minimum stays and occupancy that vary by zoning. The best STR properties here are elevated, walkable to the beach, and have a dock that works. Ask me before you fall for a listing.

Are pets allowed? Is there a pool?

No pets, and no pool. The Gulf is a 2-minute walk and the Intracoastal is off the dock.

Let's Talk

Want one of your own?

No sales pitch.

If a week in this house turns into wanting a waterfront house of your own, that's the part I actually do for a living. Tell me what you're thinking, and if there's a boat involved, tell me about that too.
