**ASK ABOUT LAST-MINUTE DEALS!

This Anna Maria Island cottage offers relaxation in this charming two-bedroom, one-and-a-half baths, classic-style cottage located on a peaceful street just one house off Gulf Drive. You don't even have to cross a road to walk to the beach. What could be nicer?

This property was once a concert venue called "The Sandbox" and comes complete with a unique backyard, pool, and your own private tiki, as well as a sunset viewing deck! Just steps to the beach.


The Primary bedroom has a king bed, its own TV, and a private half bath attached. The second bedroom features two twin beds and mounted TV. The full bath offers an updated walk-in tiled shower, with a washer and dryer in a separate space.

Enjoy your time in the beachy decorated living room with comfortable seating and a large, flat-screen with Cable as well as WiFi. The kitchen includes a refrigerator (with ice maker, of course), dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, new stove, and granite countertops.

Step into the backyard for a tropical oasis that includes a saltwater pool, tiki bar, and a small stage which is now the hammock landing pad! The fridge in the tiki bar keeps your beverages cold as you cool off in the pool or sit on the bar stools and listen to music through outdoor Bose speakers. Catch glimpses of the Gulf and hear the waves at night. You're just a short walk to the beach! There is a cart to carry your stuff to the beach because, after all, you're on vacation.

The Sandbox is within walking distance of a shopping center that includes a Walgreens drug store, Island Creperie, a beach shop, a dollar store, a breakfast restaurant, a German restaurant, a Subway, cupcakes and charcuterie, a hardware store, an ice cream shop, a Dunkin Doughnuts, and a Chinese carryout!

Want more variety? Take the free trolley that runs up and down the Island every 20 minutes.

Come enjoy a relaxed and wonderful vacation at "The Sandbox."

Wonderful Home!
We had the best time at time. The pool was clean and warm, the location was great, easy walk to a very clean and private beach. The house is really cute, with all the amenities you could need.

Fantastic house!!!
Cannot say enough good about this place. Everything that you’d need for a beach vacation. Yard is amazing and was the perfect place to unwind after a long day on the beach.

Girls retreat!
We had a great time! Loved having the pool! The beach was a 3 minute walk. The landscaping gave you the feeling of lots of privacy! Inside was a very comfortable feeling! I would like to have some kind of window covering in the front entry room/ 3rd bedroom. Overall I would recommend it to my friends and definitely come back again!

Perfect little beach getaway!
This property is adorable! The kitchen is large, the decor is cute, the ac works well, short walk to a beach access without having to cross a main road, and the pool with tiki bar is a neat addition. The way the pool maintenance people have the pool vacuum constantly attached does render a good portion of the pool basically unusable so be aware if you have kids as this could be an issue. My main suggestions would be to have a deep clean done, the cookware definitely needs replacing, and the windows need upgrading as some don’t have locks or close without gaps. We did have a roach crawl across us in bed one morning but since we also live in a humid, subtropical beach town we know that can happen even with the best pest control. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely return.
