Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Proximity to the beach was great. The pool was a huge hit with the entire family ( especially the grandkids!) and we enjoyed the ability to enjoy the outdoor living aspect of the property with the outdoor kitchen, living and dining rooms. Perfect setting for these New Englanders to recover from a long cold and snowy winter! Look forward to coming back!

Nice house in close to beach location with great pool
The house was a great accommodation but pool was a huge hit with kids. Well heated during cooler than usual week making it a magnet for kids. Close proximity to beach a real plus.

Thank you Michelle! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again!
We had an absolute great time!! House was clean and comfortable! We rode out a tropical storm and felt very safe, we could barely tell there was a storm going on outside! House is very well built. The pool and game were perfect!
We loved this house. Great location, well maintained and had everything we needed. Unfortunately, our stay was cut short due to Hurricane Helene. We would definitely consider renting this house in the future.
The house was everything we expected. Kitchen was equipped nicely. The pool and hot tub were perfect. It was just a 2 minute walk to the beach. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely. We would definitely stay at this rental again!!

Had our kids and grand kids join us for spring break. The house was wonderful for a big group. Good walking distance to the beach. Lots of beach towels. Extra fridge in garage was very helpful. Be sure to bring your own supplies… detergents, garbage bags spices etc. there is nothing stocked there. Very clean and great place to stay
We had a great time-we were so glad to have the pool. The property manager was prompt to answer questions. Our check in got delayed a bit because the cleaners were still working but that is the only complaint!

We are such huge fans of the north side of Anna Maria Island and this spot hits perfectly on that. The rooms were nicely sized and very clean. Upstairs master is a little warm but that is being really picky. Screendoors would be an amazing upgrade to the sliding glassdoors (more of a suggestion than a complaint). We would 100% stay again and we are already discussing staying the same week in 2022.

The house was perfect for our family of 12, 8 adults 4 children. Very clean and lots of space. The pool and slide were great. All the beach gear was very helpful. A 1.5 block walk to the beach. It was perfect!! We had a small issue with the shower draining in one bathroom. I called the rental office and it was fixed promptly while we were at the beach, they were very accommodating.

Sands Of Time is an amazing property and I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again!
Property exceeded our expectations. Very clean, furnishings were comfortable and location was good. Only issue was that the pool lights did not work and the hot tub jets worked now and then. Beach House was contacted but no one showed up to look at the problem.

Hi Peggy- Thank you so much for your 5 star review and I'm happy to hear you had a great time with your family and loved the property. Also, you mentioned the an issue with the spa lights and jets. You did reached out to us in regards to the issue and we did send the pool company to the property twice as you requested and each time the pool company reported no issues and it was operator error as everything was working properly. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you again.
This home is beautiful. The backyard outdoor area is a highlight of the home. We spent a ton of time in the pool and hot tub and it was great to be able to watch tv outside as well. It was a short walk to the beach and they provided everything you needed to enjoy yourself (chairs, sand toys, coolers, and a wagon to pull everything). It was a close drive to several restaurants and shops or the trolly stop was a quick walk. My only complaint would be that the hot tub stopped working on Thursday and they never sent anyone out to fix it. I would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful home.
Beautifully designed home that needs some attention
We eagerly anticipated our family of 12 enjoying AMI after our week in Captiva was cancelled due to Ian. The pool was in bad shape and pool service spent just 5-10 min on Tuesday but promised to do a thorough job later. Friday Morning the
Pool was so murky, I called rental agent who said they would be there for sure later that day. At 9pm our 6 grandchildren were still waiting!! Also filter on refrigerator water dispenser needs changed. We were unable to access cold filtered water from refrigerator. The pots and pans (very low end teflon) were scratched and most unusable. Also there was no dish soap (most homes a small bottle, and only 5 spoons for a home sleeping 12-14. Only a small 1/2 roll of toilet paper in each bath, no dishwasher detergent, and the garbage cans had not been taken to curbside by the previous renters and the smell so close to the pool area was putrid. For $11, 000 we expected so much more. We will not be returning to AMI again.
Overall the property was great & we had a fantastic time.
We felt it could use a good deep clean & the pool needed more attention & when they did come there was no warning & inconvenient time.
Location & the property were perfect for us!

I'm glad to hear you and your family had an amazing time at Sands Of Time. It is a great location and memorable property. We appreciate your feedback and will schedule a deep clean as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the pool vendors are a 3rd party vendor and we do not know their scheduled times to service the pool. I hope to see you next year!!
We stayed with 12 guests and it’s the perfect location - close to the beach and downtown! The kids loved the pool but we did need to call to get it shocked and cleaned as it was cloudy when we got there. The property could also use a deep clean - floors were not clean and the windows/doors were dirty. We also noticed the mattresses weren’t the best and couldn’t use the grill because of an unknown substance in it…
If the property manager addresses my concerns- it would be the perfect property and we would definitely stay here again!

Good afternoon Kathleen,
We are glad you and your family enjoyed your time at Sands of Time. We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback with us and I have shared it with the homeowner. The homeowner has approved replacing the grill. She is looking into new mattresses as well. We hope to have you and your family in the near future.
Warm Regards,

Our group of 12
had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and easily accommodated all of us The beach is fantastic.
The upstairs bedrooms are too warm and the downstairs are too cold
We frequently ran out of hot water with some cold showers.
The freezer worked great but the fridge is too warm.
The pool was dirty and the pool heater did not work until it was serviced.
The washer and dryer were awesome
All in all it was good but some issues that need attention
The property was amazing, everyone loved the house and pool. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach. Had a great week

Renting this house was an excellent experience! My children and grandchildren, friend, and I stayed a week and loved it! Location is excellent- only a short block to the beach. The pool area was private and exceptional with a pool slide, a bathroom, a bar, an outdoor shower, ample furniture, etc. We enjoyed BBQing and eating by the pool. Lots of beach chairs, wagons, a rolling cooler and toys available to use. 5 bikes available- we loved early morning bike rides! Inside was clean, with a fully stocked kitchen including spices, extra beach towels and comfortable beds. Zoned HVAC added to the comfort. Only issue was a broken ignitor on the BBQ pit and it was fixed the same day a request was made. Would definitely recommend!!
We absolutely loved the house, especially the outdoor living space! My only word of advice would be, fix the beds. They were ungodly loud. Every time you roll over, it would wake up the entire house. We had our 18 month old sleeping in his pac n play in our room & he woke up everytime we moved. Needless to say, sleeping was less than enjoyable but other than that everything was perfect!
