About this property

Perfect Island Hideaway... private, heated pool, 5 min walk to the beach

Welcome to Sandy Palms….

You’ll love this updated classic Florida beach house. On a quiet street and close to everything in Holmes Beach. It’s a perfect home base for your family to enjoy the laid back, Old Florida lifestyle of Anna Maria Island. Sandy Palms is managed by the owners who live in FL and are always available if you should need anything during your stay.

Sandy Palms is a single family home- not a duplex. Completely renovated and updated through out with all the comforts of home . The house is professionally cleaned between each guest. We (the owners) personally check the home before each check-in to assure everything is ready for your arrival.

The blue gulf waters and spectacular sunsets are just a 5 minute walk. Restaurants and shopping are a couple of blocks away. Grocery store is only 1-1/2 miles away. And the free AMI trolley stop is right around the corner, where you can catch a ride to stops all over the island. Shopping, dining, live music, fishing…. you’ll be spoiled for choices to fill your vacation days.

This ground level home has no stairs to climb, just one step-down into the sunroom. Tile floors throughout. Our kitchen is well stocked with new quartz countertops and appliances. There's a spacious master suite with walk-in closet and a large glass shower. Guest room 1 has a king bed and en suite bath with walk-in shower. Guest room 2 has two twin beds. There's a 3rd bathroom with a shower/tub combo and a door to the private outside shower. All bedrooms have closets, fans and smart TVs. The pool (heated to 85 deg Oct thru May) is protected with a removable child-safety fence. It's a perfect place for your family to enjoy time together without having to share common spaces with strangers.

Just bring your bathing suit and flip-flops, we've got the rest. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cart and a cooler are provided for your convenience. And a supply of soaps, detergents, paper products and basic spices are stocked for you as well.

We’ve been coming to AMI for years and would love to share our recommendations for anything else you might need…. just ask!

Spring Break in Anna Maria
Rebecca's rental is one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. The kitchen is well equipped for any cooking you may want to do, and she is very helpful with any questions you may have. We highly recommend this house if you are planning on visiting Anna Maria Island. The location is perfect!

Great Get Away
Such a gem!! The amenities and cleanliness are just perfect! From the pool, beach chairs, wagon, beach umbrella to the few spices available to cook with…everything was so nice. Rebecca was very prompt to reply with any concern that may have occurred.

Buckeyes visit Anna Maria Island
This house was exceptional. Very clean and modern. Extremely well stocked with everything guests need. We were not able to enjoy the pool because of the cool temperatures and the fact the pool is quite shaded. Communication with the host was excellent. Would definitely return to this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Purinton

Host profile image
Our family of six has been making day trips to AMI since we moved to Florida. We love the beaches, the people, the restaurants, the shops and the small island feel. Having a place of our own here has been a dream for many years. We're so excited to finally make it a reality. We hope you enjoy our home-away-from-home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this particular house because it's "just enough".

Just big enough to have everything you need, just small enough to keep tidying-up chores easy, just close enough to all the fun but still be private & quiet, and just far enough away from our home in Tampa to feel like a vacation without a long drive.

What makes this property unique

Our house is centrally located on Anna Maria Island, close to beach, the bay, shopping, entertainment and dining.
The beach is just a 5 min walk away..... 10 houses.... exactly 450 steps. Our beach area is usually not crowded as their is no public parking nearby so day trippers are not an issue.
We go the extra step between each guest; the house is professionally cleaned and then double checked by ourselves, the owners. We live only an hour away and we are always reachable, so you're never going to be left without someone to address any issues you may have.
We take great pride in keeping our vacation house as nice & inviting as our full time home. We think of you as our personal guests.
