About this property

Beach Hugger 3 - Just remodeled, charming beach front bungalow!

Please be aware that our beautiful beach town did experience damage from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our community is working quickly to restore beaches, businesses, and properties. Local experts currently estimate that the beginning of 2025 will offer an excellent travel experience for our valued guests. Please book with confidence for 2025 stay dates! Our availability calendars are up to date, and we anticipate our area to be majorly restored by Jan 1st, 2025.

If you are looking to stay for the remainder of 2024, our availability calendar will be up to date and we would love to host you. Please be aware that you may experience less amenities, some intermittent beach inaccessibility due to ongoing restoration, and less restaurants and activities in the area through the end of 2024. Our community is grateful for your support as local businesses continue to reopen their doors. Located on the #1 rated Sunset Beach, The Sunset Beach House is a totally unique, oceanfront oasis. Resting on 100 feet of private coastline, every residence features lanais and balconies overlooking historic Sunset Beach. In October 2020, the entire property was renovated and reimagined as Treasure Island’s only truly boutique experience. New sand, landscaping additions, exterior showers for every unit, two new gas grills, and complimentary paddle boards have been added to the already spectacular grounds. The property lends itself perfectly to gatherings, family reunions, and most notably, one of a kind beach weddings and receptions. The yard comfortably accommodates up to 100 guests.

The property comprises the historic main house, three beach bungalows, and 10,000 square feet of a white, sand backyard. The house is available as a 3 bedroom home that can sleep 16 people, and can also be split into two residences for smaller groups. While the interiors include modern conveniences like complimentary wi-fi and state of the art televisions and appliances, the grounds promote the peaceful enjoyment of your private retreat. In addition to the freshly laid sand and landscaping, you will find plenty of lounge chairs, adirondack chairs, outdoor dining spaces, and a beach front deck designed to watch the perfect sunsets Sunset Beach is famous for. The yard has plenty of light and shade, and offers both a private beach experience as well as a nestled reprieve from the sun. Enjoy your morning coffee, or rest under the palms and pine trees.

2 fabulous positives and Several negatives
+: 2 parking spots and no hassle for my trailer. Score. Right on the beach and able to pull my paddle boards up to our door. Score. The place was clean when we arrived. Aside from permanent issues below. - : Roaches. Yeah, enough said. I would not let my husband take our luggage in the house when we got home. I went through them outside. Mildew. The stench was overpowering. Dampness that permiated my suitcase! as well as the bedding. Ew. A 6inch hole in the window allowing a warm salty sandy breeze inside., Along with sharp broken edges. So the bathroom sink was inside the shower. Literally. Stupid set up and not needed. While the positives were great, I will not return. I asked for some compensation as my contract for rental did NOT include the things above, I got zero response. Great people. ( that is sarcasm)

Very disappointing,Stay away!
For starters the place was relatively filthy.Sand everywhere. The bedroom was about the size of a closet with a queen size bed that took up the entire space.No room for luggage storage.No TV,not even a picture on the wall.The bathroom was even smaller.The sink was IN the shower stall!! And the worst part was finding those giant Florida cockroaches every morning on the floor. Disgusting.It also desperately needs a coat of paint. Microwave light burnt out.Wifi and cable intermittent service.And it has the loudest ancient AC unit ever,guaranteed to keep you up all night. The place is just a cash grab for the owners.A real shame,for what I paid I expected better.

Couldn’t get much better. Walk out the back door to the deck then to the sand. Friendly neighbors on a very quiet stretch of beach. Grocery shopping and restaurants are close by!

Location is amazing 🤩 Room not so much
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Several issues- I was told I would get an email on our arrival date close to check in time telling us the key code & WiFi password-didn’t get one until 3 days later. We were standing around the parking lot (it was HOT!) trying to reach someone that could help us (it was a Sunday). First I called the after hours number & left a voicemail. No one called us back. After about 30 minutes, I called the after hours number & chose the emergency option. We were called back, but they couldn’t help us. Another 30 minutes later, we were called by someone (I’m thinking the maintenance man). He didn’t have access to our reservations but he told us the key code & Wifi info. Why no email on check in day? No clue. My original call & voicemail was never returned. The WiFi was extremely weak & not secure. We ended up using cell service. The bathroom sink is in the shower-that’s how small the bathroom is. Ok for 2 people that really like each other-not 4 people, which is what the room supposedly accommodates. Fortunately, when we walked less than a minute to the absolutely gorgeous beach & breathtaking blue water, all the shortfalls were quickly forgotten. Quite pricey for the room you get, but the location....5 minute walk to Caddy’s on the beach. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. Less than 10 minutes to Publix. Every night at 8:02 is a truly spectacular sunset😍

Excellent Location but needs some Love
We were there for 4 nights and were surprised, in many ways. You can’t beat this property from a location standpoint. Close to the action and surrounding restaurants and bars. Concerns to pass on to others would include that the sink is in the shower, there were no screens on the main windows, there was no dishwasher yet the management crew left only dishwasher pods for cleaning and then expect you to clean and put away all dishes. We used shampoo. If your less than 6 feet tall you cannot reach the shower heads to adjust and the only electrical outlet in the bathroom is also only 12 inches from the ceiling in the shower, the internet is spotty, and sometimes hard to connect to. And lastly the outdoor chairs were ripped and needed replacing.

Bare bones, but great location!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beach Hugger 3 gave us a wonderful girls weekend, but I’d suggest they call it “Bare Bones” 3! My friend and I wanted a beachfront rental and weren’t needing a big space and this place fits those needs, but it barely passed. The unit did not provide beach towels, folding beach chairs, a hair dryer or extra pillows and linens for the pullout couch. We pulled the comforter off the bed to cover up on the couch to watch tv in the evenings. The unit had a very musty, mildew smell upon entering too? After about day two, it’s nice to sweep up the floor from excess sand you drag in from the beach, no broom or small sweeper. The kitchen has minimal cookware and silverware and it was all mismatched and cheap. I feel like all of these are super small conveniences that would have really made this place phenomenal. On the plus side, the bed was super comfy and they did supply ample bathroom towels/wash clothes. It was great to have a few close restaurants within walking distance to the unit. The short walk to the beach was by far the greatest aspect of this condo. I would not recommend this place to any more than two people, it’s very small and there is no closet for storage, just a small dresser in the bedroom. The WiFi worked very well and we used our Netflix account for the tv. Again, for us, this place barely missed it, just needs a little more effort and it would make it worth coming back!

Beach Hugger #2 and #3
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a horrible experience. Planned for a nice weekend at the beach. Instead ended up fixing window off track, trying to avoid mold and dust. The backdoor had no covering so anyone could look directly into #2. Owners know that there are issues with mold and having sink in shower. Owners not giving money back for inconvenience or telling potential guests of issues and allow them to be refunded their deposits or to make an informed decision based upon all the facts to stay or cancel.
