South Beach Oceanfront Resort
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
South Beach Oceanfront Resort is a 3-star aparthotel located in Treasure Island, Florida, offering 13 individually furnished and decorated apartment-style accommodations. The property blends the comforts of a full apartment with resort-style recreation, making it a beach-focused alternative to a standard hotel room. Housekeeping is available on request, and units open onto private balconies.
Rooms & Units
Each of the 13 accommodations is accessed via exterior corridors and includes a full kitchen with refrigerator, oven, stove, and microwave, plus a separate dining area and cookware, dishes, and utensils. Units come equipped with a washer/dryer, flat-screen TV with cable channels and a DVD player, air conditioning and heating, an ironing board, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms include complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, and a crib is available for traveling families.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation centers around an outdoor pool, complemented by gas grills and a picnic area for guests who want to cook and dine outdoors. The property is smoke-free throughout, and wheelchair-accessible features are available. Business-friendly touches include in-room safes and free local calls, subject to restrictions.
Dining
While the resort itself does not operate a full-service restaurant, in-unit kitchens allow guests to prepare their own meals, and an outdoor grill and picnic area support casual outdoor cooking. Guests are steps from a dense cluster of local dining options, including Middle Grounds Grill, BRGR Kitchen & Bar, Sloppy Joe's on the Beach, Foxy's Cafe, Gigi's Italian Restaurant, Britt's Pizza, Ricky T's Bar & Grille, and R Bar, most within an easy walk of about 400-750 meters.
Location
The resort sits directly in the Treasure Island beach area, just 160 meters from the Gulf Blvd + 112th Ave bus station for easy local transit. It's within a 17-48 kilometer range of three major airports -- St. Pete-Clearwater International (closest, ~17.4 km), Tampa International (~32.7 km), and Sarasota Bradenton International (~47.2 km) -- giving travelers flexible arrival options.
Best for
This aparthotel suits families and small groups seeking a self-catering beach base, thanks to full kitchens, washers/dryers, balconies, and a crib for younger children. It also appeals to leisure travelers who want walkable access to a wide range of restaurants and bars near Treasure Island while still having an outdoor pool and grill area on-site for relaxed days.
Travel tips
The Gulf Blvd + 112th Ave bus stop is just 160 meters away, making it easy to get around without a car once you've settled in. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is the closest airport at roughly 17.4 km, so it's worth checking flights there before Tampa or Sarasota Bradenton, which are farther out. Since the property has only 13 units and a strong 4.6 rating, popular travel periods may book up, so reserving ahead is advisable.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight cleanliness and spaciousness, with several noting units comfortably sleeping larger groups. Beach and pool views are frequently praised as a highlight of the stay. Comfort of the beds is another recurring positive, though a few guests mention the pull-out sofa bed as merely adequate rather than exceptional. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with repeat-stay intent mentioned by reviewers.
