Best Things Nearby:
It was right on the beach. About 2 miles down, you had John's Pass, with history, restaurants, and shopping. Also, this is where you have fishing boats come in, so there is fresh fish every night. Also, the Candy Kitchen is within walking distance. This place is packed every night, but it's worth the wait!
Best Things About the Resort:
The two bedrooms over look the street and the bay but are very large and spacious. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and walk-in closet. The bathroom has a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has two twin beds, and the second bathroom has a bathtub/shower combo. The kitchen is very large and has a walk-in pantry. If I were to want to cook on vacation, I could very easily cook in this kitchen.
Resort Experience:
This resort, being located right on the beach, provides cabana-type beach chairs and cushions for your enjoyment. The Island Gulf does not have a swimming pool, but does have a large Jacuzzi, and its sister resort, Sand Pebble, down the street in Treasure Island, has a swimming pool - we had access to all of their amenities. But you are on the beach, so if you get hot, go jump in the ocean! They have different activities each day to entertain, hot dogs, bingo, and ice cream. This resort is in a perfect area, as you are close to everything; dining, shopping, and St. Pete.
