We rented three rooms for our family vacation in June from Mako's Vista and we loved it. The unit was very well maintained and decorated not to mention had great views of the beautiful gulf. We definitely enjoyed our stay at Sunset Vistas and would highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Treasure Island. Thanks Jill!

we have now stayed at Sunset Vistas twice with Jill and will continue to stay there each time we visit FL. The units are beautiful, well maintained, and each have great views. There is plenty of room to relax, eat, and take naps! The bathrooms are new and gorgeous and you can't beat the amazing full kitchen that is fully outfitted for you. You are steps away from a white sand beach and beautiful water! My kids love the proximity to the beach, pool and the ice cream shop just across the parking lot. We love Sunset Vistas!

My husband and I stayed in unit 505N in May 2010 with our two daughters - 9 years old and 20 months old. The unit was fantastic with a lovely view of the ocean and we were very pleased with the location. The beach is fantastic as are the pools and hot tubs. We loved the fact that we could relax on the balconey when the kids were in bed. Jill was prompt in all of her responses and we had no issues. All in all, I would recommend this resort and renting with Makos Vista.

We stayed at Sunset Vista Condo's/Makos Vista last year and it was great. The condo had everything we needed and was directly on the beach. You couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We were close to John's Pass shopping and just minutes away from the dog tracks and the St. Petersburg Pier. We will definetly return.....

We stayed in this property in October of '09 and rented with Jill. We had been to the Treasure Island area many times but had never found the property to which we wanted to return until we visited Sunset Vista Resort. It had everything we needed. It was clean. The pool was great. It was great for my kids. The beach was very nice too. It made for a perfect vacation!

What a wonderful place to stay. We just returned from a weeks vacation at SunsetVista, though the weather was cold, we had a wonderful time. I travelled with my husband and 2 and 3 year old. We rented privately with Jill from Makosvista and she was so great to work with. The condo was exceptionally clean, lots of extra supplies, lots of extra pillows, blankets etc. Jill prepares you ahead of time, keyless entry so you don't have to worry about losing the key. Great staff members, the kids loved the pools and hottubs. The grounds very clean and kept well. The cafe food was great, the singer on Sunday was nice with the kids had them up dancing and singing. Just seconds from the beach...
Awesome trip and great condo!!!! Thanks Jill and staff at Sunsetvista

This was our second trip to Sunset Vista and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The trick to a super clean, well stocked, great customer service vacation is to rent through Jill at Makos Vista. They personally manage each of their 9 units and you could literally eat off the floors they were so clean. Jill takes care of all of our travel check in detail before your arrival, sends your parking pass, helpful area information and keypad door code about a week ahead so when you arrive you simply unpack and start your vacation. We've been twice now and will definitely go again. The pools are great for young children, there are a number of good restaurants close by, shopping, attractions etc. The perfect spot for a family to enjoy some family time. Thanks again Jill!

What an amazing vacation my family and I had staying at this condo. Jill (the owner/manager) was excellent to work with, leaving lots of extras in the condo for us to enjoy. Free beach toys, umbrella etc. for the kids; free brouchers, maps, tips etc. The condo was in great condition, very clean and comfortable. The resort itself was wonderful also. Great pools both for adults and children, nice cafe with sundries to include snacks, drinks etc. Overall, I highly recommend this property, and we will return again and again. Thanks Jill for everything!

We hope to return again in the future.

Our family of five stayed for spring break 4/4/09-4/11/09. We had a wonderful time in this location.The unit was very clean and new. It was a bit small in the second bedroom for two teenage girls. I liked the area, lots for teens to do. Pool area nice, the beach was fantastic. We will stay again and upgrade to a unit with ocean front vs ocean view if our budget allows being careful not to choose one right over the tiki bar.

Great Condo

Date Submitted: April 06, 2009   Date of Stay: March 2009
We just spent a great Spring Break week at Sunset Vistas. The condo is in excellent condition with fabulous beach and sunset views. It is a very short walk from the complex to the beach and we enjoyed our daily walks. We also had fun shell hunting. The condo has lots of extras like beach chairs and pool/beach toys. We visited friends at other resorts along Treasure Island and we definitely had the nicer condo. The kids loved the pool and the ice cream cart the most. We ate at 3 different restaurants at John's Pass and had good meals at all 3. We also enjoyed miniture golf at Smugglers Cove in Maderia Beach just 5 minutes up the road (a little pricey but fun none the less). I would highly recommend this property to anyone and we hope to visit again next year.

Our stay at the Sunset Vista could not have been more perfect! It was perfect for our family of four (two adults, one teenager, and a 10-year-old). The accommodations were clean, well kept and our ocean-front condo was just what we needed for a winter getaway. My husband and I enjoyed a walk on the beach every morning watched the sun come up. The pool and hot tub were exceptional and the grounds were very well taken care of. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a fun, relaxing vacation. It is within walking distance to John's Pass. Thanks!

Two adults and three teens for this terrific condo. It is clean and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Little things like beach chairs, numerous towels, three tv's and more make this the perfect accommodation. It is easily the best place we have ever stayed. Internet was of the wired variety so you plug in directly. If you have one though, bring a router. There is wireless but not in the unit and not reliable. Combination keypad is very useful. No keys or cards! Great salt water pool and the gulf is a 30 second walk. The unique shape of the building gives everyone a great view of the gulf on a very nice patio. Need pizza? Try Original Pizza down the street. John's Pass less than a mile walk up the street (over-rated but necessary if you want to do things like seadoos or wind-sailing, etc.). Don't hesitate to book this place, it is outstanding.

We had a great week at Sunset Vistas. The beach is wonderful and very close (we noticed that some of the other gulf- front condos on Treasure Island were set much farther back and required quite a hike down to the water). We had a beautiful view from our condo and the sunsets were amazing. The beach never felt crowded.

The building is new and well-maintained. My kids loved the pools. We appreciated the extras provided in the condo, like beach towels and toys. While the rooms were a bit smaller than what we're used to, we knew that going in and the size was fine for 2 adults and 2 small kids.

While there wasn't a huge selection of restaurants to choose from, there were plenty. We enjoyed Sloppy Joe's, which has seating outside overlooking the gulf. We never got around to trying the cafe at the property, but the menu had a nice selection. We took the kids on the pirate cruise in Clearwater and they had a great time!

Jill was great to work with and everything was as described. We would rent from this company again.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo in July of 2008. We took my husband's 80 year old mother and our 22 year old son and we all loved it. It was our second stay at this complex and I am sure we will return. The area has lots of restaurants and entertainment for all ages. There is a great Tiki bar by the pool and they have music on the weekend in the evenings. The complex also has a cafe that provides breakfast and sandwiches. There is also an ice cream shop right beside the building. Umbrellas, cabanas, and chairs can also be rented on the beach right in front of the complex.

The condo was clean and well stocked with everything you would expect plus nice extras such as beach chairs, beach towels, and beach toys. There were plenty of extra pillows and blankets for the sleeper sofa. The view of the gulf is fantastic.

Our communication with the owner Jill by e-mail and phone was prompt and friendly. Making the arrangements was quick and painless. I highly recommend this property for anyone.

We would recommend this property. It was a very nice, right on the beach, and close to everything. They had a live band on the weekends which played some really good music,they had people up and dancing. We got to watch from our balcony which was really good. The pools where clean and the hot tubs were nice and HOT!!! The beach was also really nice. I spent most of my time on the beach while my husband played with our girls in the pool. They loved it there.
I hope to go back soon. Great place

I would recommend this condo complex to everyone. If you like the beach, this is the place to be. Right on the white sandy beach, nice pool area also. Great accomodations for a family of 4. Grocery shopping close by, no need to travel far. John's Pass right up the road for dinner, drinks and shopping.We will be going back. Thanks!

We had an amazing stay at Sunset Vista's Beachfront Suites. I had read some of the less favorable reviews and was hesitant to stay. However, after finding them on vrbo.com (vacation rentals by owner), we by-passed the main resort and privately rented the condo through makosvista.com and had a great time. The unit was very clean and well maintained. Extras were left such as beach toys and umbrellas, fun tips for the area, maps, brouchers, etc. Jill (the owner/manager) was excellent to work with. The resort itself was very nice also with two great pools, easy beach access, nice cafe complete with sundries, snacks and drinks. We will visit again and again and rent through makovista.com each time.

    We rented a 5th floor unit thru Jill Helgren from Makos Vista and were totally satisfied with our stay. Everything from the accomodations to the location of this place is fantastic. Our room was clean and there was plenty of space and having a full kitchen with a washer and dryer was great. We loved the pool and the weekend entertainment at the pool bar was terrific. The beach was clean and the fishing was great. This building is in a great location, nearby to John's Pass, a Walgreen's and Publix. This is a place that we would definetely come back to.

      We do Not want to go home (Maryland). Its 43 degrees there and we just came in from the pool! We really enjoyed our stay. Our son Nate (2 1/2) loved the kiddie pool or the kitty cat pool as he called it, and our daughter Maddie (7) loved our early morning walks on the beach. The games and books provided were also enjoyed by the kids. Thank you Jill for a great condo rental. Everything was clean and we would love to come back.


      This was a great place to stay.

      This was a great place to spend a week (8 days). The weather was great except fro "Ida". Spent much of our time looking for a good bargain in real estate. May buy here. This condo was great. Clean; well equipped with anything you would want or need. Am so glad we could spend an extra day and unwind. Hope to return soon.
