Just steps from the building, residents can enjoy the pristine white sand beaches that Treasure Island is famous for. The area is known for its stunning sunsets, which can be viewed directly from many of the units or from the nearby Sunset Vista Park, a short 10-minute walk away.
For dining and entertainment, the popular Caddy's on the Beach is within walking distance, offering waterfront dining and a lively atmosphere. A short drive north leads to the bustling John's Pass Village and Boardwalk, a quaint turn-of-the-century fishing village that now houses numerous shops, restaurants, and water excursion businesses.

Island accessibility with mainland connections
Transportation around Treasure Island primarily revolves around personal vehicles, given the area's car-dependent nature. The island's main thoroughfare, Gulf Boulevard, provides easy north-south access along the barrier islands.
For air travel, Sunset Chateau is conveniently located about 40 minutes from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, ideal for domestic flights. Tampa International Airport, offering a wider range of national and international flights, is approximately a 50-minute drive away.
While public transportation options are limited on the island itself, the area is somewhat bikeable, allowing residents to enjoy short trips to nearby beaches, restaurants, and shops on two wheels. Many residents and visitors alike opt for golf carts as a fun and practical way to navigate the island's streets.
The building's covered parking facilities ensure that residents' vehicles are protected from the elements, adding an extra layer of convenience for car owners. This feature is particularly valuable given the area's reliance on personal transportation.
