SUNSET INN AND CABANAS, St. Pete Beach

Sunset Inn and Cabanas offers adults-only accommodations with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and balconies. Each room includes a tea and coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, TV, and wardrobe. Some units, like The Lookout suite, feature a Gulf view and a well-equipped kitchen. Retro decor and comfortable beds are standard, though some guests note that showers are small. Cottages provide full kitchens and outdoor grills for self-catering.

No onsite restaurant is available, but guests can cook in cottage kitchens or use the outdoor grill. Several dining options are within walking distance: Caddy's (15-minute walk) serves beach fare, Ka'taki offers sushi, and The Helm is a favorite for brunch. A taco truck, Sea Dog, occasionally parks near the beach. For groceries, Publix is a short drive away.

The property features a year-round heated outdoor swimming pool with pool towels. Across the street is Sunset Beach, a quiet, uncrowded beach perfect for sunsets. The courtyard includes shuffleboard, a large Connect Four game, ping pong, a hammock, and lounge chairs. Guests can also rent beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels for $15 per day.

The inn is located on a low-traffic residential street, directly across from a public beach access with a pavilion. John's Pass is 5 km away, Tropicana Field is 15 km, and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is 24 km. The area is less crowded than central Treasure Island, with a playground across the street and restaurants like Caddy's within walking distance.

Services include free on-site private parking, private check-in/check-out, and an app with property info. The innkeeper Sandra provides responsive support and local recommendations. Pets are allowed for a $100 cleaning fee, with towels, bowls, and treats provided. Note that cottages have no housekeeping service, functioning as holiday homes. Beach chair/umbrella rental is available for $15.
