Oilspill Florida. Hands arcoss the sand.SOME OF US WILL BE BEHIND THE BILMAR IN TREASURE ISLAND.  I was here some 15 years ago when we had the oil spill. Treasure Island and the other beach towns felt like ghost towns, all the tourists left within a day or two, I will never forget how sad it was to see all the dead birds and fish on the beach, businesses had to close down, restaurants were empty, black oil everywhere in the white sand. You could not walk on the beach anymore.................I hope I never have to see this again. There are lots of other ways to get energy. We are in Florida, the sunshine state for crying out loud EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF. You've probably heard about ‘Hands Across the Sand' - an effort to raise awareness of efforts to drill for oil ...

There just is no $100,000 condo right on the beach in Treasure Island. Prices here in Treasure Island have dropped a lot and I get a ton of inquiries about 2 bedroom 2 bath condos, a minimum of 1200 square feet, right on the beach in Treasure island for under $100,000. Sorry we do NOT have it. $300,000 yes, that's where it starts but not $100,000 There is a lot of information in today's world but not everything you read or hear is true. Direct beachfront on the low end is still $300,000 in our Treasure Island area.

Fish restaurants in Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, Madeira beach and St. Pete. Well, where do I go for dinner tonight? Our little beach towns have lot of places, something for every taste and every mood. Let' start with fish since we are surround by water. A really nice upscale fish restaurant is the "Mad Fish" on St. Pete Beach. Service and food are very good, perfect place for a nice date. I always recommend "PJ'S" on St. Pete beach for the everyday seafood dinner. I am in love with their Chicago oysters, they are absolutely wonderful.  Bonefish Grill on Tyrone Blvd. has a huge selection of fish and I would kill for their Bang Bang Shrimp. You can get "all you can eat" crab legs on Tuesday and Thursdays in Treasure Island at the R Bar. (Be there early otherwise they might be sold ou...

 Are they really that ugly?  You decide. Here is what happens when you go to an animal shelter and you tell yourself you just want to "look" You end up with 2 new roommates and you feel so sorry for these little creatures that you spend the next few days at home trying to make them comfortable.  Since they are supposed to have immediate contact with the people that are always around them I invited my girlfriend to come over and meet them. She walked in the door. Starred at my two precious cats and declared loud an d clear Oh Anne, "they are sooooooooooooo ugly, they are cute again" Are they really that ugly?  You decide. PS. In the Spirit of Thanksgiving, be nice when you comment on this post.

I am originally from Germany and came to the US 17 years ago. In my first year I was amazed, surprised and sometimes confused about all the differences between the US and Europe. By now I have gotten used to it but every now and then I see something that triggers the thought  "Only in America" in this case Treasure Island We had the annual Sand Sculptor contest last weekend and our normally just sandy beach here in Treasure Island turned into this festival site. So, only in America will you find a portable ATM machine right on the beach in the sand.

How much should I pay for a condo in Sunset Vistas in Treasure Island Tampabay on Gulf Blvd. You do not need to be a Realtor or an appraiser to find the right price for these condos. All it takes it common sense. All of the units are the same, same size, same year built, same color, same floors, same kitchen, same furniture same everything BUT the view.   There are 13 units in a row going all the way from the street to the beach angled so each unit has a view of the water. The building has five floors above parking. The units have 3 digit numbers the first number is the floor and the other two are the position on the floor. It starts with 1 at the street site and goes up to 13 which is closest to the beach. So, right now unit units in Sunset Vista Treasure Island 408 is listed for $299,...

Selling/ listing my home or condo in Treasure Island, how do I find the right asking price? The answer to that is very easy, have your Realtor (make sure it is a local real estate expert) do a comparable market analysis for you or get and official appraisal. (From an appraiser that knows the area well) Yes, that's how easy it is. No if's and but's, no guess work. Keep in mind we homeowners all think that our house or condo is so much NICER that the neighbors. Our children are so much smarter than the others and on we go. It is impossible for a home owner to be unbiased or objective about their own property. There are too many emotions involved and we simply cannot see a clear picture. Talking to your friends and neighors won't help either, they are not experts and they do not want to "h...
