Cozy

Our stay was relaxing and cozy. The bay in back had great fishing. Short drive to anything needed. Even the beach. The apartment was clean and tidy. Can’t wait to go back next year.

2019 vacation-Whispers

Thank you so much Jeffrey for the hospitality! We really enjoyed our stay! I loved the gardens, pool, fishing dock and being able to just relax. We will definitely be back next year!!

Beautiful ❤️

Beautiful scenery. Had a wonderful quiet relaxing stay. The owners take pride in their property..

Troy Johnson

Quaint and nice

Very nice place. We enjoyed our stay. Rooms was okay (expected a queen size bed) .... Ambiance was amazing. Truly enjoyed the garden feel and the pool and dock area was great. This was a staycation for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I would highly recommend whispers to anyone. Troy.

Quiet, Quaint & Perfect!

Owners were incredibly accommodating. We arrived early and they made sure we were able to check in early as well as provided us with may great local referrals for food, activities and directions to the beach and local Publix for groceries. Salt water pool was such a nice perk and the dock was just incredible and relaxing in the mornings and evenings - we were able to see the dolphins swimming through every morning and evening and even saw a few 2 ft. long sharks in the water just below the dock! This was just the perfect place and location for us (small family with an 18 year old, 13 year old and 8 year old). Beach is only a 10 minute walk and Publix only about 5 minutes. EVERYTHING is within 5-10 minutes from the condos. Thank You so much for everything! We certainly recommend this condo and absolutely adored the owners and loved Treasure Island - what a gem! ~Trey, Nikki & Family from Michigan :-D

Chris Roselle

Quaint and serene

Quiet and cute. Secluded yet very easy to walk to shopping, beach and restoraunts. We loved the foliage along the secluded pathway to the well kept pool and boat/fishing dock. The bathroom was dated but clean and cute. I would suggest a new shower-head though. Also a broom and maybe a mop in the hall closet so guests could sweep and mop during their stay. all said we will be back!!.

Jeanne Gaines

Cozy and comfy

Nice, comfy and covvient location. Not posh but very clean with very nice owners. Laundry facilities, pool, dock..

Ok for a weekend

We stayed for a girls getaway weekend and expected a little more waterfront executive style than what you find. The good. 1. Owners. The owners are really good to work with. We had a small issue on getting the contract signed. The email for the contract went into my spam and I missed it. Thankfully I had reached out to see if we could check in earlier and the owner responded promptly that they hadn’t received the contract. We were able to resolve it quickly but make sure you receive and sign the contract ahead of time. 2. Location. This is a good location within walking to all the shops and restaurants in Treasure Island. It sits on the inter coastal water way side not the ocean. The benefit here is you can see dolphins from the dock. 3. Overall space. The open floor plan in the dining and living room were comfortable for the 6 of us to relax around. The pool and dock is a nice touch but is shared with all units. The picture of the pool with house in the background is the reality of what you find. There is a gate on the side where any other rental parties can enter. While at first it was a little odd having people you didn’t know right outside the home we got to know them and met some great families during our short stay. The areas of improvement are really conveniences you would expect in an executive beach home. 1. Comfort. Two of the beds in our view weren’t fit for sleeping in. We tried the first night and instead bunked up with each other sharing beds. It worked for us but not everyone may want to do that. The sleeping situation is really 3 bedrooms. 1 king 2 queens and a single size bunk bed in one of the queen rooms. The king beds room and queen/bunk bed room share a bath. 2. Cleanliness. When renting through VRBO you pay a cleaning fee, yet the property wasn’t as clean as we have experienced in many other rentals. There were areas we felt like needed cleaned before using them. 3. Conveniences. We’ve all staged at several rentals over the years and this one was just missing the little things like sugar for morning coffee. Also things like beach towels and chairs were not available. There were chairs in the closet but were rusted badly and not fit for use. We made due with body towels and renting chairs on a beach but something that is found in most beach rental homes. A few upgrades with beds and shared items for the beach are needed. Also recommend updating the description of the property..

Relaxing place

We had a nice time there. It’s small but has everything you need. It was clean and had everything we needed. Nose pool and dock on the water. It’s also nice having an assigned parking place. .
 

Merry Coburn

Whispers

A true boutique resort, not a cookie cutter hotel. Loved the spacious garden welcoming us each day when we returned there and the amazing, private pool and dock. Great quiet couple retreat within walking distance of anything you might want..

We enjoyed our time in the garden setting, pool and waterside deck. It was great to get away from the traffic etc. The birds made sun bathing on the deck a real treat. We had many pelicans diving for fish 20 feet away and a Great Blue Herron landed on the deck 10 feet away and thinking I was cleaning fish, stayed for 10 minutes! Beautiful ! Seeing the Porpoise swimming past the dock put the icing on the cake".. In addition, Carol got a nice "hit" when fishing off the deck! We suggest you reduce the water pressure in the kitchen faucet as we all got a shower! and for safety sake put up warning signs to dry you feet before walking on the slick tile floor. The four of us agreed that we would like to return for a visit in the future!.

Brandi Valandingham

Great stay

Thank you for allowing us to stay we had a great time and the location is perfect. Our unit had everything we needed and our grandkids really enjoyed the pool. We especially liked the dock over looking the bay. We will be back!! .
 

Shelley Carnes

Loved our stay!

We loved our stay at Whispers #9 unit. We had a family of seven and we were pretty comfortable. Best parts included: view overlooking pool and dock, entryway plants (!), fountain sounds, easy walk to the beach, numerous sightings of dolphins (!) and hospitality of owners. The harder parts included: no privacy for one of the bedrooms (maybe it would be a better dining area since the views are outstanding there), no sharp knives (not a huge issue) and an adjustment for older folks (my parents) to get used to the different levels/steps in the unit. But we loved our time and would absolutely recommend our unit #9! We hope to be back! The beaches are truly a slice of heaven!.

Loved Our Stay

We loved staying at your lovely resort. Jeffrey was so nice and very accommodating. The best feature for us was that we were allowed to bring our dogs. We will be back. Linda Soltis.

Our vacation was great. Love the little villa with all of the vegetation close to the beach...
 

Sara Moleski-Rice

Winter Vacation

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the Whispers Resort! We enjoyed being so close to the beach, the pool, and the dock. It was very quiet at the resort, but easy access to restaurants, shopping, and groceries. Management was very responsive to all of our questions, and our family dog was right at home. We will be back for another vacation!.

Paula Babcock-Gordon

Whispers Resort

Nice place overall. Clean, comfortable, conveniently located. Only reason I gave 4 stars b/c it is slightly out dated & the shower was backwards, & the very old ac unit was still in there but didn't work. .
 

Awtrey Moore

Treasure Island

We enjoyed our stay. It was close to restaurants and entertainment. We walked to everything. Very adequate property with a pool..
 

Mark Titus

Taste of "Old Florida"

Great time, we were able to walk everywhere, beach, bars, restaurants, and shopping.

Janet Robinson

Great experience again

This was our second stay at Whisper’s resort. We love it being guests of Jeff and Sharda. We can’t wait to go back again. It’s a great location with a classic Florida feel. .
 

Meriam Del Carmen

Great little place

Our stay at Whispers Resort was very nice. The place we stayed was a bit small and outdated. But it was clean. The owners are wonderful. Overall the whole resort was great. The garden was beautiful and the dock was great! It rained a lot when we were there. I would definitely stay there again but a much bigger place. Thank you!!.
 

Darlene Fletcher

WHispers resort

The location was good, the place was clean and the pool was a nice addition, butthere were a few issues I think could be changed for the next renters. First, almost every towel in the house is torn and/or stained, new linens are essential. Also it would have been nice to have a few beach towels. Every time we went to the beach we looked like we had stolen towels from the hotel room. Also, the beach chairs were rusty and dirty, I am aware they were not technically included as part of the stay, but since the walk to the beach is fairly long, having a beach cart and a few chairs would be nice, since renting everything cost us another $50/day. The one bed in the master bedroom is made of steel and had only a mattress topper on it, not an actual mattress, so one of my guests had a horrible sleeping experience. Maybe adding a mattress to this bed is a possibility. I would like to give props to the property manager who responded quickly and cheerfully to our requests, service was great. Overall, the experience was OK, but honestly, I was a little disappointed..

We had a wonderful vacation and really enjoyed our stay at Whispers Resort. Large and spacious. Pool right outside with private dock. Really nice after day at the beach! .

Heather Stenson

Hidden Treasure

This is my 3rd time staying at Whispers and i would not stay anywhere else. Close to the beach shopping reataurants and more. Jeff and Sharda are amazing owners and they always treat their guests like family. Look no further you have everything you need here including a gorgeous pool over looking the bay! Heather S .
 

Derrick Spidell

Whispers great vacation rental

We needed a large home that could accommodate 9 adults. Whispers was able to do exactly that. The house had enough beds that everyone had their own. The location is amazing! You can walk to local restaurants and the beach. We were also able to dock our boat at the whispers dock . We met Jeffrey one day and he is a super nice guy : ).next time I come back I will be going with my family . Thank you Jeffrey and Sharda we all had an amazing time !.
 

Diane Rankin

Nice summer trip

We had a nice summer break staying at the Whisper resort for our 3rd time, but first in the summer--it was HOT at the beach, but the pool felt great! It is a nice short walk to the park, beach and publix and perfect for our large dog to accompany us. The 2 bedroom was plenty of room for our family of four. We will be back soon! .
 

Lorentz Nylund

Nice stay

Me and my wife enjoyed our stay at Treasure Island. But i think Jeffrey will need some help , a lot of things to repare. Greetings to you Jeffrey and Sharda you were so friendly. Lorentz Nylund from Sweden.
 

Nancy Leggett

Whisper Resort, a very enjoyable stay

We really enjoyed our week stay at the Whisper Resort in Treasure Island. Firstly, what an awesome location....so close to everything. Secondly, loved the courtyard, pool and mostly the dock area. What a bonus being able to view dolphins off the dock. And lastly, the cute condo was clean and comfortable. Almost forgot to mention, Jeffrey, the owner/manager. was so pleasant, helpful, and loved talking to him. Would definitely go back!.

REGINA

A Shout Out For Whispers

We are singing the praises of Whispers - "a treasure" condominium resort (Treasure Island, FL). It is an unassuming, quaint property with an old Florida flavor. There are several units, all individually decorated, within walking distance of everything. The landscape is lush with tropical native plants and flowers, a pathway taking you to a beautiful pool and deck located on the bay providing spectacular beauty. The serenity and peacefulness of the property is certainly a draw, as is the efforts and willingness of the owners, to make your stay most enjoyable. As if all the above, wasn't enough of an attraction......pets are not only welcome, but loved. Needless to say, we will be returning with our pets!.

Celine Warner

Great place

My husband and I spent 26 days at Whispers in April-May 2018. We love the location. The pool is great. The unit has everything needed. The bed is very comfortable. The owners, although not on the premises, are only a phone call away or e-mail and they promptly address any situations. This is our fourth time at this resort and we plan to go again..

Awesome weekend trip

We really enjoyed our stay there in the Africa suite for a long weekend trip a couple weeks ago! The dolphins came in by the pool every evening and the property was beautifully landscaped!

2 weeks @ Whispers Resort, Treasure Island, Fl.

We had a very nice 2 week stay @ Whispers. We were in "retro" Unit #1; a one bedroom unit. The space was fine for our needs. We could walk to the beach, grocery, restaurants. It was very convenient not to have to use our car and pay for parking. The private walkway to the back of the complex for the pool and dock was very charming and quaint. The only issue we had was with the bathroom.. It needs some TLC. Definitely needs a new toilet. The blue "retro" toilet must go. The shower head was very strong and could not be adjusted for a softer spray, and the bath tub drain needs to be cleaned out. Shower water doesn't drain well. Other than that, the vacation was private and relaxing. We had a very nice two weeks and the weather was beautiful. Michael and Kate Mimnaugh . .
 

Carol Miller

Awesome Stay

Jeffrey Solomon & Sharda Collard are great host! The resort is in a great location and ample public parking nearby. We would go back again..
 

Crystal Faust

Little Piece of Paradise

We stayed in the 2 smallest units, there were 6 adults in our party. The space was perfect for our needs and very clean! We loved the "old Florida" feel, from the beautiful plants, clean pool & wonderful dock, we could not have asked for a better place to stay. The owners show how much they care about their place by thinking of all the little touches needed to have a stress free vacation. Not to mention, that we had such nice conversations with them. They took the time while they were clearly busy working around the property to give us lots of good places to check out. We would absolutely stay again!! Thank you Jeffrey and Sharda for everything!!.

Tina Medrano

Whispers Resorts

We had a wonderful stay - the house was ideal, clean, and great location. Jeffrey and Sharda were tentative in helping us when we arrived earlier than expected - they were wonderful! The whole family loved it there and we will return !!.

Andrea Coutu

Artist suite unit 1

The condo was as advertised and was very quiet. We enjoyed our stay. Positive things: Bed was very comfortable Kitchen was fairly well stocked with dishes although not great quality Shower worked well, plenty of water pressure Never used pool but nice quiet dock with lounge chairs Location was excellent There was a Publix grocery store just down the road as well as many restaurants, Walgreens, hardware store and post office. 25 min to Fort De Soto beach which was very well equipped for dogs - off lease play area, free poo bags, off leash beach area and nice beach. Very quiet Air conditioning worked well Negatives: Internet was glacially slow - should upgrade speed and increase strength of routers Cable did not have huge choic of channels Small leak under bathroom sink Toilet seat had mold on it when we arrived Only one beach chair was available No dish cloths or dish soap provided - we left some for the next people Door was not unlocked when we arrived but the neigbours in unit 2 were very nice and called someone who came and opened up the door within five minutes No dustpan provided. We just swept sand out the door but some more basic amenities could be provided. Price was high for the value but given that we had two dogs and the lack of availability at this time of year it was probably ok. In all we enjoyed our stay and were comfortable. .
 

Jace Troup

Good stay

We enjoyed our stay here, we arrived at 10pm and found it easy to find our place. The courtyard was very nice and well kept. It would have been nice to have an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. It was very nice to be able to bring our dogs with us and not have to worry about them. The location of the property is perfect for walking to all the amenities in the area. The park down the street is nice to walk the dogs in and let the release some energy..
 

Helen Callahan

Great experience

It was a great location. People very friendly. The cooking equipment and towels could use upgrading. Pretty flowers.
 

Charles Pietz

Whispers Resort

We were perfectly happy on stay here. Funky but clean and interesting landscaping ..
 

Marlon Jean

Great Stay

Condos were comfy, clean, and accommodating. Loved being able to walk to the beach and all the local bar/restaurants. The owners were very nice. When we ended up leaving an expensive bottle, they made sure it was returned to us. We will definitely be coming back to this little paradise! .
 

Cheryl Lermer

Quaint Condo

Other than a little confusion as to which room was ours, we settled in and relaxed. It was quiet, clean. We were in the African suite and the bed was very uncomfortable. The pool was clean and we fished off the dock. I loved all the plants and the grounds keeper was very knowledgeable about all the different species. I would recommend this place and hope to return next year. .
 

Kevin Gilbert

Peaceful

Beautiful setup However the trip to the store for toilet paper paper towels and dish soap and garbage bags was a lil disappointing .
 

Patricia Anderson

Awesome Vacation

Thank you so much for sharing your home with myself, my husband and son. We so enjoyed the home, pool, views of intercoastal!! Will definitely be staying again.

Thanks Again!!.
 

Tracy Smith

My Stay at Whispers Resort

I had a great time. was very private and the pool was very nice. I really have no complaints. I did mean to leave a note to let you know the keys did not work on the door. I had to only lock the deadbolt when I was going out. Other than that the only issue I had was with the 150, I was charged in resort fees. since there was no explanation on these fees, I felt that they were excessive. Thank You.
 

Hannah Sigler

2nd Annual FL Vacation

We stayed in the Artist 1 Suite. It was very clean and cozy. From the moment we stepped into the condo my boyfriend looked at me and told me he could see himself living in a place like that. We had our own private back "patio". A short walk to everything; the beach, the grocery store and restaurants/bars. Very quiet and low key resort and town. The pool and dock out back were absolutely amazing. We had nothing but good things to say about our stay at the whispers resort and in treasure island. .

whispers resort treasure island florida

Whispers resort

the stay was awesome, i had a problem with the internet when we arrived, Jeffrey came right over and took care of it. Pool and deck was nice ,the unit it self could use some updating. but overall it was great! would highly recommend! The landscaping inside the courtyard is just awesome. See you next Year!!!!!.

Raluca

New Year vacation

We had a great time at Whispers Resort. The condo was clean and had all you need for a week. It is tucked in an oasis of tropical plants and you feel you are away from the rest of the world. We enjoyed the pool by the water way and the very short distance to the beach. On your way to the beach you have Publix for last minute shopping before you get to the beach. We visited Bush Gardens, Legoland and Clear Water Aquarium, all within 1 h 30 min. or so. The condo works best for a couple and a family with one child or two small children..
 

Diane Rankin

Great fit for our family

Great spring break rental for my husband and I with teenage daughter and large dog. Loved the pool and deck on the water, walked several miles a day to park and beach. .
 

Jackie Tilly

Whispers resort

We liked how close all the restaurants & shops were. I loved walking by the beach. The condo was a little small for us. Not much storage space for our suitcases. I was led to believe there was a king size bed and there was only a full size. The other guests were very nice. Jackie.
 

Chris L. Coleman

Great vacation

We have stayed at the Whispers before, and were equally as pleased this visit. The main house is great for a big family. We had Christmas there and were able to have family and friends over with plenty of room. The place is a great location too! We could walk to everything and needed our car very little. We will absolutely stay there again next time we are in Treasure Island..

Whispers Resort

Whispers is a best kept secret!! The minute you enter the walkway, its a tropical paradise. Through the years, they continue to update and keep the property a private retreat that is truly a delightful home away from home!! It sells itself in beauty and charm!!.
 

Heather and Paul Stenson

Hello Jeff

Great location. Clean and welll kept property! 
We had the best two week vacation at Whispers resort. We checked into the Oriental suite 1 BR 1 BA with 2 dogs and 2 small children. The suite was very nice clean and well maintained. When we found out the executive house was available Jeffery was more than accommodating and we will able to vacation in pure luxury with more room than we could ever dream of! The property is so close to everything you can walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. The heated pool was a plus and we loved the views of the bay. We will be back for sure to whispers! The owners are so pleasant and hospitable it makes you feel like you are home. Look no further this is the place to stay!

Jana & Bruce Caldwell

Dear Jeffrey and Precious Asha

Just wanted to let you know how incredible our vacation was at Whispers Resort last week, and how much we enjoyed meeting you and the dog :) I can't remember a vacation I enjoyed more than this one. Everything was perfect!!! We look forward to seeing you again real soon.
 

Smith Family

Dear Jeffrey and Sharda

We had over 30 members of our family and it was awesome. We rented the whole place! I don't ever remember a family vacation where we all got so relaxed. Everyone loved the main house, I can't say enough about it. The condos behind the house were great - every one was decorated in a different way, there was an Africa room, an Oriental one, an English one etc. which everybody loved. The big house was equipped with anything you could ever want and so much to do there we hardly needed to leave the house. It was perfect as the HQ for our group and we had meals and get together in the house. And because it overlooks the pool we set up drinks and snacks for everyone to come and help themselves. I don't ever remember us as a family sitting by the pool at night and looking at the stars like we did at Whispers. It was a new moon and barely any light in the sky. And riding our bikes everywhere around Treasure Island was fun. The men fished from the dock in the back. They also did a deep sea fishing cruise from Johns Pass nearby and they caught lots of fish. We've been going to Florida for many years and this was quite possibly the best place we've ever stayed at. Can't wait to come back!! 

 

Samantha S.

Dear Jeff!

A group of 5 friends and I stayed at Whispers for Memorial Day weekend and could not stop raving about the house all weekend. It was extremely clean, updated and comfortable furniture and beds, a great dock and grill, and a great view of the Bay. The kitchen is big and has everything you need for cooking at home, and if you want to go out downtown you could walk to anywhere in Treasure Island or go to downtown St Petersburg which is a short car ride away. Jeffrey and Sharda were a pleasure to work with. They were so responsive to every question I had and made sure everything was perfect before we got there. My friends and I can't rave enough about how wonderful our stay was and hope to come back in the near future! 
 

Denise O'Brien

Dear Jeff!

Whispers Resort - a quiet, hidden treasure! What a wonderful place to spend time with friends and family with all the amenities. Dock, pool, BBQ, fishing, beach to name a few. We loved the seclusion and the shady spots under the huge trees. The beach can be hot and very exposed in July and this gave us the perfect escape from the afternoon heat. Highly recommend local restaurants nearby (just a block) R Bar and Ricky T's, Middle Grounds. Condos are old time Florida which we just adore. So charming and decorated in a theme from different places. Our theme was Hawaii. 
We hope to return soon! 
 

Brian and Sandy and Family

Hello Jeff!

We loved our time at Whispers. The pool, sunsets, and outside area made our vacation perfect. We had our son, daughter in law and grandson with us and they also loved the pool, area by the water and outside decks. We also enjoyed riding our bikes there is a trail called the Pinellas Trail that passes right in front of Whispers and goes for 60 miles . If you go, try the little seafood restaurants at Johns Pass about a mile away - fresh catch off the boats. We would describe Whispers as having"atmosphere." Not suitable if you want a modern box high rise with big lobby and granite front desk. This is a cozy hideaway full of trees and tropical bushes.

We will tell everyone we know about Whispers!

Everything was awesome!!

Stephan and Jens

Dear Jeffrey, dear Sharda

We would like to thank you very much for your uncomplicated handling regarding our short term request for an accommodation during spring break 2014. We really had fantastic 10 days in your resort, we enjoyed it very much talking to other guests, fishing at the own dock and having a great time in several locations nearby the resort. We definitely come back in this or next year. 
Once again thank you, you are doing a great job. Go on!
 

Wendy Calvert

Hi Jeff!

Thanks so much. Of course I will write a review had already planned to do one as we enjoyed our stay so much, your hotel is really lovely. 
Kind regards!!

Unique, private, and quiet place where you walk out of your front door into a courtyard with tropical trees, shrubs and flowers all around. Go past the fountain and out back to the pool (unlike alot of places where the pool is out by the road) and the private dock where you can fish or grab a chaise lounger and catch some rays like I did! I saw dolphins most days, even swimming up to the dock. Room was nice, 60's style with plenty of linens, towels and kitchen ware.There is a grill here too . Private back porch with table chairs and loungers, very shady with 80 year old rubber trees overhead. Little geckos scurry around .The owners are gracious and friendly and I will definitely stay here again!
