About this property

White Sands Beach House -Luxury home, heated pool!

This beachy, 4 bedroom, 3 bath vacation rental is located in the middle of Anna Maria Island. We are 1 1/2 blocks from the beautiful beach with an easy beach access! Both showers and tub recently renovated (2025)!!
(*Elevator is no longer offered*)

White Sands Beach House offers an open floor plan with plenty of space for family and friends to gather. French doors off the main living area open onto a screened balcony, equipped with seating, so you can enjoy sunsets and those island breezes! The living room is complete with ample seating and large flat screen TV.

Still on the main floor, you will find a queen-size bedroom, a bunk bedroom
(twin/full mattresses), a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and laundry. One floor up has two more bedrooms -- the master suite, which includes a king-size bed, lounge seating, and its own screened balcony. The master bathroom is equipped with a large walk-in shower, double sinks, and a corner jetted tub. The second bedroom includes a king size bed and its own bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Located on the ground level is a large two-car garage that leads to the inviting pool and patio.

When you are ready to explore the island, you can hop on board the free AMI trolley that runs daily along the island and has a stop just a block from your door.

We hope you enjoy your stay at our White Sands Beach house and can escape from reality for a while! It truly is a slice of Heaven!

Beautiful home in a perfect location! We love AMI and this home had room to spread out, a great private pool area, and felt cleaner than most beach rentals. Location was superb! 10 minutes on bikes to Anna Maria and 3 minutes to Ugly Grouper. The walk to the beach was 5 minutes straight down the street - we walked further the day we parked to go to Bean Point.

Beautiful home and great stay for our family of 6 plus or in-laws who came

Great trip. About two blocks from the beach. The beach wasn’t busy which was a plus for our young family. We ate in just about everyday. We door dashed a few times and that was great too. Rooms were clean pool was warm. Beach was close! Very happy about our stay and we will definitely be booking again!

Family Celebration

We booked this home to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary—with our three kids and our son’s girlfriend (who bravely signed up for a full week with her boyfriend’s entire family…someone get that girl a trophy). Our son just graduated college, so naturally we rewarded him with family togetherness and sunscreen lectures.The house was perfectly located—just a short walk to the beach, which saved us from playing car Tetris with beach gear. Thankfully, the owners thought of everything: chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and even a beach wagon to haul it all in style. We came prepared but used maybe 10% of what we brought because this place had us covered. The private pool was a dream. Morning coffee by the pool, afternoon relaxation, and evening floating—10/10, would splash again.One super thoughtful surprise: the owner arranged a charcuterie board for our anniversary. It was beautiful, delicious, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Very classy, very appreciated, and a major upgrade from the “here’s the Wi-Fi password” intro.Now, the one hiccup—there was a shower renovation happening during our stay. Not ideal, but the owner let us know ahead of time, and communication throughout was top-notch. We shared, we adapted, we didn’t lose a single family member to bathroom drama. A miracle.All in all, we made amazing memories, got some sun, and no one cried (except maybe when we left). Once that shower’s finished, this place will be flawless.Highly recommend. Thanks for memories!

Great Family Vacation

The house was the perfect size for 8 people - 3 couples and two teenagers. Lots of room, a great outdoor area and a wonderful screened-in deck. The kitchen had all the amenities needed. And the location is AMAZING. You're only 1 block from the beach - easily walkable and centrally located to restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend staying at Maria's house - she was a wonderful host!

One of our favorite family vacations yet!

We had such a wonderful week at Maria's house - she is one of the most communicative and kind property owners I've dealt with. I asked her countless questions about the island/amenities before our trip and she was always prompt to respond and thoughtful about the information she shared. The house layout worked perfectly for my family and my sister's family. We loved all of the amenities - the pool, the beach wagons/toys, umbrella, chairs... all of it was so helpful and made the trip so much more enjoyable. We loved AMI and can't wait to come back and would rent this house again absolutely!

AMI Family Beach Trip

We had a wonderful time while staying at this beautiful home! The house was clean, beds comfortable and Maria was an excellent host. Our favorite parts were the ping pong table, use of the elevator (made moving in and out so easy) and close beach access! Beach cart, beach/pool toys and chairs were a definite plus. Thank you, Maria!

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome to White Sands Beach House! We have been coming to Florida for years to escape the harsh northern winters of Wisconsin! After exploring different parts of the gulf, we listened to friends of ours who frequented AMI. We fell in love with the charm, beauty, and laid back atmosphere of Anna Maria Island. The family centered feel of this area provides something for all ages! And you are not far from great attractions like Disney, Busch Gardens, Lego land, St. Armonds Circle, and one of our favorites, the Mote Aquarium. We have enjoyed relaxing here and making memories with our 3 kids.......who are growing up quickly! We hope you have the same experience!
