Welcome to “Starfish Sands” - your dream getaway at Crystal Palms Beach Resort, conveniently located and nestled in the heart of Treasure Island. This 2-bed, 2-bath condo on the 5th floor offers a sweeping balcony view of the Gulf. Wake up to turquoise waters, stroll along powder-soft white sand, and end each day with unforgettable sunsets. Come enjoy the ultimate beach vacation experience in this highly rated condo!
The Crystal Palms complex has a newly renovated building exterior and new elevators! Enjoy an outdoor heated pool and hot tub year-round, with handicapped friendly equipment to get into the water. Little ones can be entertained in the pool area with family games like jumbo tic-tac-toe, corn hole, and a children’s picnic table.

Our stay at this property was wonderful. Our host, Jordyn, was very accommodating. When we had a question, he answered immediately and resolved any issue we may have had. We had a beautiful view of the Gulf, an easy walk to the beach, and close proximity to many attractions and services. We would highly recommend this condo.
Condo was beautiful and in a great location. Everything was exactly what we hoped and were told and met or exceeded our expectations. The pool area was very nice and not a far walk to the beach at all. We absolutely would visit Treasure Island again and would stay in this condo.
From beginning to end the whole experience was great, really easy, booking simple, communication was so great, really fast informative responses to questions. Ahead of check in information was really clear. Condo was lovely and in the perfect location for beach and amenities. Will definitely be returning- thanks so much!
Very nice unit with pretty good view. Price very reasonable. Was spotless. Communication with host was excellent and check in a breeze. Would absolutely book again so don’t hesitate.
It was my husband, my 16 year old son, and our friends and their 16 year old son. The boys slept on the pull out couch. Beautiful views of the beach, a little bit of a hike to get to the beach but still worth it. Restaurants in the area were fabulous. We will be back. Thank you.
The condo was exactly how the listing portrayed it. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. There are many restaurants within walking distance, the beach is a 5 minute walk and the Publix grocery store is a 2 minute drive. Our balcony had a lovely view of the beach which was enjoyed early mornings. The traffic on Gulf Blvd. did affect our enjoyment somewhat during the rest of the day. I don’t believe there is a noise bylaw regarding loud vehicles. (Not the Condo’s fault)
The condo itself is exactly like the pictures shown in the listing. The king size bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. Kitchen supplies were adequate for our needs. There wasn’t a kettle however once we let Jordyn know, it was delivered within a 1/2 hour! We didn’t use the dishwasher as there were only 2 of us and we dined out most nights. I would suggest a few more dishes be made available in case there are more staying at the condo.
Our host Jordyn was excellent to deal with right from the time of our booking. We were able to check in early and the staff at the property were excellent to deal with throughout the week. There weren’t any beach chairs etc in the condo but we found 2 chairs and an umbrella in the community’ box of equipment available to all at the condo property as Jordyn had suggested to us.
Overall we had an amazing time and we would definitely return to this condo!
