GREAT COTTAGE w/Heated Pool, Dog- See Note - Allowed, FREE WiFi/Trolley, Steps to Beach, Dining...
**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?
*****Since the two major hurricanes that hit us last year our poor tiki hut has been through so much! Due to permitting issues, the tiki hut is no longer available at this time. We will update once the tiki hut is rebuilt and ready for use.
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."

Enjoyed the stay and we would certainly return! The host was very responsive and the house was nicely updated. My only recommendation would be for the pool to be heated prior to guests arriving. 5 stars overall though!

Beachy Perfection!
This little gem was the perfect home away from home for our family of 6 with kids ages ranged from 23 to 10. Plenty of comfy beds, ample linens, beach towels etc so we were never without. The backyard is truly an oasis. We opted for the pool heat and were happy we did. We used every inch of the back yard, music played daily, walked to the beach to play bocce and football, and just relaxed in the sun. It’s in the perfect location too - easy access to the trolley and shops. You can’t go wrong with this house and we would absolutely rent it again on our next trip to AMI!

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.

Family Vacation
We loved “The Sandbox”! The house was perfect for our family of 5. The backyard is your own oasis with the greenery, pool, bbq and bar area. The extra fridge outside is a bonus so the kids weren’t going inside with wet suits for drinks. The sunset view from the upper deck was a great way to end every night. Can’t beat this location! This place is a short walk to the beach, stores and short drive to either end of the island. We look forward to another family trip to “The Sandbox”

Every year we do a girls trip to FL, this year did not disappoint, the location was amazing (monkey bus a huge bonus) close to shopping, very close to the beach, and on our cooler day, we lounged by the heated pool. Would absolutely recommend.

We had the best experience ever renting this property. It had everything we needed for the week. It was very close to the beach. All the food we could ever want. The house came with everything we needed. I got food to cook for a few meals at the house. Perfect perfect perfect location.

Loved this house
This house was everything we could have possibly wanted in a true vintage Florida beach cottage. Everything on the interior was updated and decorated beautifully. The kitchen was very well equipped. What really makes this house special is the outdoor space which was our own tropical oasis for the week. Even with red tide, it was a lifesaver having the pool out back. Loved the tiki bar and stereo system but my favorite was the hammock. We felt secluded even though we had neighbors. The house is super convenient to the beach and walking distance to great stores and restaraunts. The only negative would be when the landscapers stopped by. We were enjoying the pool and the outdoor space and a young man began to spray pesticide all around us. We had to ask him to stop. Very disheartening to see so much spraying being done on the island which poisons the insects (which feed the beautiful birds) and the waterways. Not environmentally friendly but I digress. The Sandbox was perfection and would love to stay here again. Finding a better cottage would be hard to do!

The Coolest
The Sandbox was perfect for us. Tastefully decorated and rich in character. The tiki bar around the pool included a sound system and a refrigerator. The grounds were exceptionally well maintained. It’s located in the heart of the island and the beach is just a half block away when leave by the back gate. There is a raised deck cleverly built into the rear corner that allows a limited ocean view. We would gladly rent this property again!

Perfect Getaway
The backyard makes you feel like you are in your own little hideaway. The beach is a block away. The house had everything we needed. The only drawback would have been if we needed the 3rd bedroom. It was a lovely glassed in room at the front of the house but there were no coverings on the windows. Overall we enjoyed our stay a great deal.

The Sandbox is a backyard paradise!
This was our 14th spring break on AMI. The Sandbox is by far our favorite rental of all! It is a great location; and while you are not right on the beach, you have a beautiful view from the quaint "crows nest"; as well as only a one minute walk to the gorgeous beach. You will LOVE the backyard! It is a paradise oasis; we spent a majority of our time out there. It was amazing. The interior is very tasteful and beachy. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is nicely equipped. The home was very clean and the rental management team was most helpful (especially since we were there just prior to the COVID19 shut downs). We already re-booked for next year!

Private Little Oasis Steps From the Beach
We stayed here for 4 nights after 3 days at Universal. We needed some down time at the beach. We chose this cottage over a condo right on the ocean because we didn't want to share a pool with anyone else. It was nice heading out to the beach in the morning or evenings, then coming back, showering off right by the pool, then jumping in for a nice leisurely swim with our kiddos. There is a fence in the back that you can exit through to walk to the beach and it takes all of 60 seconds to get to the beautiful sandy shores. There's even a deck by the pool with a view of the ocean if you enjoy sipping coffee or reading with the ocean in sight. This area was quiet and quaint. We loved it. Very close to mom and pop beach restaurants and Publix for groceries. I would love to go back. No problems inside either. Kitchen was well appointed with supplies. Even several rooms for tv watching when you feel like heading in for the night. They left us enough detergent for 4 loads of laundry and plenty of toilet paper. A great time was had by all!!!!

Can't wait to come back!
We stayed at The Sandbox the week of April 14 - 21 and had a wonderful time. The house is literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. We walked to watch the sunset every night we were there. We especially loved the front enclosed porch. We loved to sit in there and watch the world go by while drinking our coffee. The interior of the house was very clean and comfortable. The pool was a wonderful amenity. My husband especially liked it as a way to cool off after a run! JoJo was very helpful and very quick to respond to any questions we had. Our damage deposit was refunded promptly and with no hassle! Early in the week, insurance inspectors had to stop by and she gave us plenty of notice. We ended up being there when they stopped by, they were only there very briefly and we had a very nice chat with one of the men working. Everyone on the island was very nice and welcoming. We can't wait for our next trip to AMI!
