Sunset Cove Apartments Reviews: Pros, Cons & Rent
Treasure Island · Treasure Island, FL · Resident feedback distilled from public reviews. Research updated Jul 2026.
Quick take on Sunset Cove
Sunset Cove is a low-rise, 60-unit condo building from 1972 known for compact, efficient studio and one-bedroom units and an easy-access pool deck. It's a solid pick for renters who want small-scale beach living within walking distance of Gulf Blvd shops, though space is tight for anyone needing more than a one-bedroom.
What residents like
- ✓Low-rise, 2-story layout means no elevator wait and easier beach access
- ✓On-site pool and grill area support a laid-back, resort-style routine
- ✓24-hour building access is convenient for shift workers or frequent travelers
Common complaints
- ✕Units run small, with some studios and 1-bedrooms under 500 square feet, limiting it mainly to singles or couples
- ✕Gulf Blvd frontage means more foot and vehicle traffic than buildings set back on side streets
- ✕Like most of the island's condo-rental stock, insurance and HOA cost pass-throughs from individual owners can push rents up seasonally
