Wonderful condo on the beach! Even though the vacant lot in front of this VRBO is now being built, there are still beach views and is only a few quick steps to the beautiful beach. We loved it and look forward to returning.

The location was excellent. We really appreciated that the condo had some of the basic necessities like salt and pepper and various spices. The beach closet was the best we have ever had. Plenty of chairs, boogie boards and beach toys.

Excellent accommodations!

This property was perfect for our vacation. We shared the property with some good friends, and we all had fun exploring the Island. There were excellent dining and shopping options, and of course we enjoyed the beach. This property was clean, accommodating, updated and a stones throw from the beach. We highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of vacationing on Anna Maria Island.

Hidden Treasure

I had a great stay (again!) in AMI. Sandy Cheeks is such a nice treasure of a place to stay in. You can't beat the location - steps away from the beach and a nice quiet neighborhood. Very convenient to shops and Publix. Cooper and Heather did a wonderful job decorating and making a comfy beach house for their guests.

Comfy Condo Steps from Beach

The condo was steps from the beach, came very well equipped, very comfortable living room furniture. Storage area with beach chairs wagon made daily beach trip easy. Small heated pool. This area of Holmes beach is beautiful & quiet. Would defiantly stay again.

This was an absolutely wonderful stay for our first (and hopefully not last!)stay on AMI! Honestly, the listing photos do not do the condo justice..first of all, its been updated since most of these photos were taken (for example, new tile floor and no carpet), and it is way larger than the photos make it look! The owner was so easy to communicate with, the condo was very well stocked, and very clean. The beach was a mere 50ft or so, such an easy walk, and the beach closet was well stocked with a beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. My kids absolutely loved the water and the pool! We never ran into anyone else at the pool while we were there, and it was nice and warm. The only drawback (at no fault of the owners) is the house directly in front is under construction and this is pretty loud, starting around 7am. But still, no biggie! Lovely, lovely place!

Great location! Place was spotless!

This condo was the perfect size for our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens). The place has a great beach vibe with lots of colorful ocean decor. The beds were comfortable and the master shower is huge. The washer and dryer were pristine and the kitchen has every amenity needed. The beach is a 1 minute walk from the unit and pharmacies, dining, grocery stores and souvenir shops are just a 5 minute drive away.

Wonderful stay!

Beautiful unit! Clean, close to the beach, well-appointed. Couldn’t ask for more! Our dealings with the owners were great. They refunded our money for our spring visit that was cancelled due to the pandemic. We rebooked for the fall, and we were so happy we did. We’ll be back!

Best Location in Holmes Beach

Beautiful, clean unit in the best area of Holmes Beach. Close to the beach and the shopping center and grocery. Unit is perfect for families and even had a high chair to use. Nice dining table that seats six and plenty of seating to watch movies in the evening. Would return without hesitation. Decorated with great artwork from local artists.
