We had an amazing time at the White Sands beach house! I feel like the pictures did not do it justice for how lovely it was. So spacious—which was perfect for our mixed group, location to the beach was amazing and the street was so quiet even though on the map it looked like a main road. The pool was amazing and there were plenty of outdoor seating options! We loved that they had a beach cart with so many accessories too. We all left happy, tan and wanting to return again! Thank you Maria for a great stay!

This is our second time renting this property and it did not disappoint! The house is lovely, well situated for ease getting around the island, and the owner is very attentive. 5 star experience!

Throughly enjoyed our stay at this house, great location, pool and other extras with beach wagon, chairs etc…host was awesome with communication!

This vacation home was perfect for our girl’s trip. The house was spotless, the kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfy, pool was lovely, elevator was helpful and the location was great. The beach was so close and the beach chairs were much appreciated. Maria kept in touch and it was a pleasure to vacation in her home .

It was our first trip to AMI. We enjoyed it so much! The house is adorable and so well equipped. The location was great! So close to the beach …The beach is amazing! Maria was so quick to respond to our questions. She is a super host! We rented a golf cart and had fun exploring the island that way. We are anxious to go back!

Although I was not able to join my clan in Tampa, I had chosen the location and made most of the preliminary plans. The intrusion of virtually every winter bug that appeared in the Chicago area, snared my entire family with a series of ailments that totally disrupted our plans. Happily, my kids managed to make the trip and had a fantastic time which they will cover in a separate “user' review. However, I certainly have enough information from them to offer a bystanders opinion. In an allegorical approach, the process and experience reminds me of a true tale I was told by a fascinating, charismatic professor I worked for many years ago. In an operating room at a well known NE hospital a neurosurgeon was working on the exposed grey matter of a conscious patient, and was taking the opportunity to explore the patients reactions to some brain stimuli he could apply with some delicate electrodes. As he probed an area of the cortex, he found one location that caused the patient to raise his arm and exclaim “Do it again!”. Now curious, the surgeon stimulated the site again, and observed the exact same response. Excitedly he repeated the process several times and obtain the identical responses. The doctor proudly announced to the staff and observers present that he believed he had found the “pleasure site” of the patient, a significant discovery which could advance the knowledge of neuro-anatomy. However, one of the interns involved in the procedure, a former philosophy student pursuing a medical degree, frowned skeptically. “Not so fast please, I think what we may have found is not the pleasure center, but simply the “do it again” center. The experience of visiting Maria's place encapsulates elements of the allegory. Firstly, the home and its amenities easily qualified as a pleasure site – actually among the best I have ever rented. Additionally, as the stay approached its conclusion, the “do it again” sensation emerged. Before the departure, all of us involved were committing to plan a return visit. The hostess, Maria was, and is, exceedingly helpful and accommodating which permitted us to work around our disrupted travel arrangements and totally enjoy the experience. No matter what satisfaction metric we apply to the visit, the satisfaction rating gets absolutely top marks.

Cannot stress enough how perfect this location is. A short three minute walk to the sand! And the owner, Maria, was excellent at communicating with us. We can’t wait to come back!

We have been visiting AMI for several years and this place was one of our favorites. The house is close to the beach, the heated pool was fantastic, the kitchen was well appointed and there were plenty of TVs and space for our family.

This house was perfect for my family. My daughters and their family and I had plenty of room. Great place to stay. Baby gates for the stairs to keep my 2 year old grandson safe. Beach carts and chairs. My older grandsons had a great time also. Pool was perfect. Ping pong table to play on. Plenty of beach towels. The only problem was the floors hadn't been swept. With a 2 year old I had to right that the first day. The rest of house was clean.

This property is by far the cleanest Vrbo I’ve stayed in! Location to the beach is great. The house has all the beach gear u could need..and if u have a baby it’s prepared for that..gates, pack n play, highchair, stroller etc! The owner had great communication and was available w any help we needed! 10/10 for our stay!

Spacious house, near beach

We had a fantastic holiday staying at White Sands Beach House. The villa is less than 5 minutes walk to the beach. It is fully equipped for everything including beach chairs and trolleys. The house was spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed the water filter in the fridge, which saved us having to buy bottled water. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms were very high quality. Maria was great at communication and quickly provided 2 extra dining chairs for us. The house is between trolley stops in both directions so really easy to travel around the island. If we visit AMI again, we would be happy to book here again.

We loved renting from Maria. The house was very clean and we had plenty of room for our families. We walked to tge Beach every morning and kids played in the pool every night. We also enjoyed watching the lightning storms from the covered porch in the afternoon.

We had 6 adults, 8 yo and 3 yo. The space of the house worked perfectly. Appreciated the high chair and pack n play. Plenty of space to eat together, spend time together, and find solitary spaces. Kids enjoyed the pool. The beach cart, umbrellas, chairs, and beach toys were great to use. The short walk to the beach was so convenient. The section of the beach was never overly crowded. People were able to easily walk to a trolley stop near the house. The owner was easy to communicate with and responsive to questions. We enjoyed our stay and had no complaints.

We have stayed on Anna Maria Island for many years as a family, and this property was one of our favorites!

Roomy living room and fully equipped kitchen. Owner is very accessible for any questions.

Host was very responsive and helpful with anything needed, not that the house was missing anything! It's a great house for family stays with all the amenities needed for keeping everyone entertained. The only bad thing was that I had to come home. 😊

This house was the perfect size for our extended family. The kids especially enjoyed the pool and the many toys provided. Maria was very helpful and responded quickly to my questions. Great place!

We had a wonderful time and found the house absolutely lovely! Everything we needed by way of location, amenities, and comfortability. The owner of the property was very responsive and genuinely interested/committed to our group having a great vacation.

Easy walk to the beach, great location, cozy backyard and pool. Quick communication with Maria, would definitely stay again!

Great experience and owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive

What a fabulous vacation home location with great spacious and a son is having a pool in the backyard. And Maria was so helpful and so responsive

Originally planned to be on a cruise this week. The cruise was cancelled two weeks before departure from Tampa. We wanted to get away and decided to stay in Florida for a vacation. Weather was cooler than expected but enjoyed the home and walkable neighborhood. Locals and visitors were super friendly. Beach is much closer than we expected. A short 1-1/2 blocks to this beautiful beach. Enjoyed afternoons on screened-in porch in front of home. Clean, well kept home. Property manager is super responsive.

Everything we needed was provided. Wonderful place to stay near the beach

Wonderful vacation home with family! We had all the amenities you would need, block from beach and close to all restaurants and attractions! We enjoyed going in the heated pool at night from a day at the beach. Maria answered all questions and would respond quickly. I would highly recommend this property for families!

My family really enjoyed the stay and it's proximity to the beach. The house was clean, had plenty of room, and owner was very accommodating.

This property was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. It was spacious and was fully stocked with all the beach/pool necessities! The quick walk to the beach everyday was enjoyable, and the neighborhood was absolutely beautiful. We loved going out on the screened in porch every evening to watch the sunset. The pool is salt water and perfectly heated and like a little oasis surrounded by tall foliage, we would've spent every minute in there given the opportunity. We traveled with my one year old son and my only recommendation is to be aware that there are three flights of stairs we had to block off (there was one baby gate provided but we had trouble keeping it securely up). They also had a pack n play and restaurant style high chair available but if you want something with a tray I recommend bringing your own travel high chair. Our host was so quick to communicate and provided clear and easy instructions for check-in and check-out. Any questions we had were quickly answered and we would love to stay at this rental again! Thank you Maria for hosting us!! We hope to be back again soon!!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family! Close walk to the beach with all the toys and chairs we could need! Pool was wonderful for the kids to enjoy while the adults made lunch/dinner! We loved it and will definitely be back! Maria was a great host and very responsive to any questions we had!
