About this property

This beachy, four-bedroom, three-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!

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 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!

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!

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!

Nice, comfortable and spacious.

We stayed in this home for 1 week with 4 adults, and 4 teens. there is a large table for games and cards, a screened in porch for getting away or for quiet time, a spacious well equipped kitchen and a nice washer and dryer set. The boys loved the ping pong table and were down in lower level playing almost every night and we could barely hear them. The pool was in great shape and the landscaping around it was beautiful and tropic. You can see and hear the TV from the pool. The entire property is well maintained. The air conditioning was awesome and worked well despite heat indices of over 100 degrees every day. Our host Maria responded quickly with any questions we had. We would stay here again.

Wonderful family vacation

This is my favorite VRBO. We were on a family vacation with a 2 year old and two pregnant daughter in laws. The house could not have been more perfect. The size, layout, elevator, pool, everything made it great. When the notes say the house has beach chairs and towels it is true. We took things but the house had 3 beach wagons, at least 4 chairs an umbrella, toys, and beach towels…even a cooler. If you were flying this is the house to rent for sure. The owner was so nice to work with. I can’t brag enough. We cooked at the house most of the time and found everything we needed. Did I mention a high chair. What a life saver. So sorry to be driving home.

Great Week at AMI

Great property for families with young children. Plenty of bathrooms and space. The elevator was a big plus when mkving luggage or groceries. Pool location was perfect to prevent young children from getting to it unsupervised. Communication was excellent and the check-in was easy amd smooth. Wi book this property again.

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!

Always great at White Sands!

This was our 3rd time staying at White Sands and we will be back! We love AMI and this house is in a great location, close to shopping and restaurants and a short walk to the beach. We always rent a golf cart because we have grandparents and kids and it makes hauling all of our gear much easier. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious and the pool area is nice and private with a great TV and grill. There is also tons of chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels, toys and floats- do you don’t need to bring anything! My kids also loved the ping pong table and we really appreciated the elevator for my in-laws. Maria is wonderful, she is responsive and caring and made sure that everything was good for us. Thank you again, Maria - we had an amazing beach vacation!

Best family vacation ever!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Maria Stacey

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!
