Loved the location of this home, so close to the beach access, and right around the corner from shops and restaurants. Having an elevator was such a huge blessing. Rooms were very spacious with comfy beds. Plenty of closet space, nice open livingroom and dining area for us to all be together and visit. The view is very beautiful from the kitchen and deck off the livingroom. Host responded to our voicemail very quickly when I thought there was an issue. Private pool was a relaxing treat when we left the beach to get out of the sun and and sand.

Thank you for your visit hope to see you again in the future
Amazing 2 weeks in Holmes Beach. 200 steps from garage to beach. Master bed was perfect. The elevator to take up groceries and luggage was super convenient. Richard was patient with all my questions. Hoping to return again next year.
This was our second stay at Cocina Sands, we absolutely love this place for the beach views and close walk to the beach!Restaurants and boating activities are also in walking distance.Having a private pool is everything after a long day at the beach.We will definitely be looking to return next year!Thanks again for allowing us to enjoy this property.

Thank you for your visit, glad to hear you would like to come back
Great views, loved the elevator for bringing up groceries, luggage and also for loading up to go home. The view from the kitchen living area of the beach was fantastic. I enjoyed the warm pool at night to relax and exercise in. It was a very short walk to the beach and to several restaurants and shops. Perfect location! Thank you for sharing this great condo we me.
We had an amazing time, the home was comfortable, clean, very welcoming, had everything we could want or need.The beach is almost out the door, just beautiful. Home is convenient to everywhere on the island. Only wish we would have planned a longer stay!
Great stay but after leaving I looked to book for next same dates but found that the unit was already booked for 2027.Sure would have liked to stay in this unit next year.
You're paying for the location, and it truly doesn't get much better than this. The beach is just steps away, which is the property's biggest selling point.The house itself is spacious and comfortable, but it does show some noticeable wear. Several fixtures were loose or wobbly, some of the outdoor chairs were broken, and the provided beach chairs were quite rusty and broken.The property management team was communicative before and at the beginning of our stay. They were upfront about the need to disconnect the pool alarm, talked us through how to disconnect it, and even called to make sure we had checked in without any issues.Unfortunately, communication dropped off after that. I sent two emails with questions about whether the pool had been cleaned and treated, along with a few minor housekeeping concerns, but never received a response.Communication, housekeeping services and overall amenities could have been better, but the location was optimal, and we had a great time!

Thank you for your visit, sorry somehow communication broke down, I did give you my cell and text number when you arrived, I have check all our email could not find any correspondence from you. It is our outmost desire to have good communications. Pool is maintain by a License professional twice a week, we have consulted with them and say chemicals are fine, we did tell them to go ahead and change out the filter system anyway. We replace the beach chairs often, but salt, pool chlorine they wear out fast, so we are replacing them again. Once again we appreciate your stay and the four stars you have given us, and do look forward to your return in the future.
Location is key and fantastic. View of the gulf is beautiful. A few things could have been better. Pool had green mold like spots most probably from a lack of long-term daylight sun. It's shaded longer than not. Grill would not get hot. Padlock did not work upon leaving and the main shower floor was like a skating rink. Very dangerous.

Thank you for your stay, the pool was stained from the storm in 2024, it is not something that will come out with chemicals, the pool is has been tested and is total fine as far chemical balance, pool filter is working, pool heater is working, we will look into the grill thank you for letting us know it may just need new burners, as far as the shower floor it is treated with every stay, but we will look into if stronger surface treatment is needed, thank you for your stay, the door lock is battery operated and the battery has since been changed, thank you again
Rick
The property is so close to a beautiful beach that I didnât even get winded walking there with all my stuff! Also, very close to some great restaurants and shopping areas.
Beautiful clean house with a private pool and spa. A very short walk from the beach. Wasnât more than 5 minute walk. No complaints once so ever. Will book this location in the future. 100%
We absolutely loved everything about our stay! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, a few steps to the beach, and close to all the restaurants and shops! The pool and backyard were so relaxing, and the entire family loved it! We plan on coming to AMI every year, and this will be the home that we book every time!! Thank you for a great vacation in paradise!

Great Location
The location of the property was spectacular. The house itself was good and plenty of space for us. However the house could use a refresher and overhaul. Nothing terrible but just could use a pick me up and some TLC.
Overall good stay at a good value with an amazing location.

Thank you for review, we have increased the pool service, we have done some repainting and finish up the landscaping from the storm
thank you for your patience.
This is as close to ocean front as it gets. There is a clear view of the ocean from the living room and kitchen. We loved the layout of the place. The elevator was great for my mother in law who is in her late 70s. Very easy walk to the beach along with restaurants and shops. This is a great house in a great location!
Great property with a surprisingly clear view of the ocean and sunset. Super short walk to the beach, cute pool area. Kitchen had everything we needed. Gas grill worked great. Layout of the home was just right. The time spent on the deck overlooking the ocean was fantastic. We would gladly stay in this home again!

About the host
Hosted by Richard & Skipper Bond
My name is Skipper, I know Waterfront Property and great places to stay
Why they chose this property
Steps to the beach, view of the Gulf, and private pool and elevator. The home is drop dead gorgeous inside with all the amenities. This home you can truly relax and enjoy. See the pictures they tell the story!!
What makes this property unique
Look out the window at the beach while in the kitchen preparing a meal. Relax on the top deck to watch a spectacular sunset. Short walk to beach to either go swimming, layout on the sand, pick up shells, make sandcastles, or just walk along the shore. Come home latter in the day, BBQ some steaks, float in the pool, it is just Florida living at its finest.
