Steps to Beach! New Post-Helene Video

Ah, the smell of salt and sand. There's no elixir on this blessed earth like it.

Our luxury Anna Maria Island Townhome is situated just 100 steps to the white Gulf sands! Complete with private heated pool, ocean views, and spacious 3,100 square feet of living area, Tropical Sands sets the stage for the perfect Island vacation!

Situated perfectly, Tropical Sands is an easy stroll to the grocery store, pharmacy, and the Anna Maria Island shops as well as Manatee Beach Cafe where you can dine casually with your feet in the sand. And with an Island Trolley stop just moments away, the shops, restaurants, and excursions of Pine Avenue, Holmes Beach and Bridge Street are well within reach.

Tropical Sands is the ultimate in sophisticated relaxation, decorated throughout with the tropical colors of the island. Kick back on the common third floor balcony with seating for 6, or your personal deck off your bedroom. Dine in the poolside lounge area abounding with tropical plantings, or take advantage of the 360-degree views from the main living floor located on the top floor of the 3-story home. The open floor plan is perfect for keeping your group together while preparing a meal in the gourmet kitchen with plenty of room to dine in the formal dining room for 8, seating for 5 at the bar and seating for 4 at the informal game table. With the 65-inch TV with a Blu Ray player and seating for all around the large living room, taking in a movie after your long day of adventures is a breeze.

When it's time to get your beauty sleep, Tropical Sands doesn't disappoint. The master suite provides a king bed, TV, side seating, Jacuzzi® tub, huge tiled shower and second floor deck overlooking the pool with seating for 4. One each king and queen bedrooms #2 & 3 provide a TV, tiled glass door showers and private deck. The fourth bedroom has two twins that can convert to a king with a Tempur-pedic® topper with tiled glass door shower. Linens provided are all Cuddledown® premium hotel bedding, for a fresh and clean bed every time you stay.

Come stay at Tropical Sands and let the smell of the salt sea air and the feel of the powder white sand lull you into ultimate relaxation!

House was great! Perfect location. So close to beach. Large living space provides ample privacy for 8. Walking distance to Publix.

This is a real gem for Anna Maria. Not only is it steps away from the beach, it’s steps away from Publix and supplies. No need to “stock up” for the week and wait in traffic to go anywhere. Definitely going back!

The house and property were wonderful! So close to the beach. Great amenities at the house! Small salt water pool was just right. Landscaping was beautiful. The property manager was great. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Best beach access away from the crowd! Literally just across the street from the house. Also a short walk to Publix which was awesome. Great beach views from balconies. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed inside and out from beach towels to beach cart which made trucking chairs and toys so easy.

This beautiful townhouse was everything our family could want and more! Thank you Harvey & Casey for your prompt response to any questions we had and thank you for finding the items we forgot. 😃

After figuring out the layout of the house it was great that we all had our own space. The master suite was awesome but the shower in master bath was AMAZING!! We loved all the balconies. The view from the top floor was great as well. It was a short walk to the beach & the garage had all our beach needs. It was nice to come back to the pool after the beach. We would definitely rent again!!

Great location. Great house! We were hot the entire week because of controlled air conditioner-This would be out biggest complaint- to pay this much and not be comfortable- with threats of charging more money-

We had a group of six of us and stayed for eleven nights. The location of the house is very convenient to the beach and Publix for our shopping needs. The communication with Harvey and Cory was great! We used the beach and pool daily! It was nice to have both options available to us. The outdoor shower by the pool was great for rinsing off when returning from the beach. Overall, we really enjoyed the home!

We were very impressed with the house! It was as advertised, well equipped (even beach towels!) and served our needs. The private pool is small, but heated and beautifully landscaped. Lots of chairs for sunning. Two large sunny balconies were great for additional outdoor space. The only “bad” thing was that it is within walking distance to Skinny’s Place, famous for their burgers , onion rings and libations. We may have gone more times than our waistlines might have liked. 😂

The house was beautiful! Looks just as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. The amenities were as described. We loved relaxing by the pool. We range in age from 87-22 and we all loved it. According to my mother “she has stayed in many beach houses in her 87 years and this was by far the best”. The beach is about 100 yards away. Harvey was attentive and patient with my many questions before and during our stay. We all agreed we would stay there again.

Beach was very close, just a short walk from the house. Very lovely place, a few too many artificial flower arrangements, but overall, very functional. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing we lacked were towels. With our 7 adults and one child, we only had one bath towel, one hand towel and one wash cloth per person. We could have used a few more. I would recommend staying here and I hope to return.

House was great. Owner, was very repsonsive. Our filght got in early and we called Harvey and he changed the lock time schedule to let us in. Our weather was a litlle cooler than expected the first night. We contacted Harvey the next morning and he quickly adjusted the thermostat to give us some more heat and had his staff arrive at the house to retrieve blankets from storage. The oven part of the range was not working and Harvey quickly arranged for a new range to be delivered 2 days later. Again Great house, great location.
