A Short-Term Rental in Treasure Island

A three-story elevated home built specifically for short-term rental use — a private ground-level pool and spa distinct from the rooftop deck, and Gulf views from the top. Engineered for 150 mph wind on a pile foundation, well above the flood line.

Two outdoor spaces, not one

A covered ground-level pool and spa with a built-in grill, structurally separate from the top-floor kitchen’s balcony — and a full rooftop deck above it all, turf-covered with lounge seating and an open view of the Gulf.

Tested by Helene and Milton

The house was under construction when Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton came through in late September and October 2024 — the structure held with zero structural damage, without the protection a finished building envelope provides. It has since been completed.
