About this property

Lux Ocean View Discounted Again!

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!

What you need to know. 1) fantastic location, strategic to food and beach. 2) pool is just right for a family, not huge but not as small as the pics appear. 3) clean! 4) property POCs are on the ball, responsive. 5) the views from the 3rd level are unmatched, similar to ocean front without the huge cost. 6) beds and showeres are all comfortable and again clean. Our family would stay here again.

A fabulous family reunion!

Harvey's home was absolutely incredible! From the location (literally right across the beach!) to the amenities, our week flew by and we didn't want to leave! We hadn't seen our family since December 2019 and I couldn't think of a better place for all of us to be together. We want to go back to Harvey's house every year!

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.

Amazing stay

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-
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 22 September 2023
Dana, We do apologize for the inconvenience, but no one contacted us about any AC problems. I looked into the history and the records indicate that the entry level pool door was left open nearly every day from around 11 a.m to 5 or 6 pm. during your stay This would certainly account for the issue you report, but little can be done when a guest pushes the equipment to its limits during 90 degree weather. Additional charges are rarely ever made, but are noted in the contract for exactly this type of abuse to the system. A phone call would have avoided your problem, but the pool access door would have to have been corrected as well. Harvey King

Great Home

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.
