Gulfsands Condo #201 sits directly adjacent to Manatee Public Beach — the lifeguard-protected stretch of Holmes Beach with facilities, activities for kids, and wide Gulf sand. Walk out the door and you're already there. No separate beach access to find, no distance to calculate.

The building has an elevator — no stairs required for arrivals, departures, or grocery runs. The large heated pool has an equally large covered area alongside it, giving guests the option to sit in shade without leaving the pool deck. The open porch faces the Gulf — the right spot for evening sunsets over the water.

The unit sleeps six across two bedrooms. The master has a king bed. The guest bedroom has bunk beds plus a queen bed — a configuration that works exceptionally well for families with kids who want their own space. A storage room on the ground level holds beach chairs, umbrella, toys, and a wagon — grab everything on the way to the sand and leave it when you come back.

The kitchen is fully equipped for a week of meals at home. Stack washer and dryer in the unit. Smart TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. High-speed WiFi throughout. Undercover parking for two cars included.

Gulfsands #201 requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for two vehicles. Not pet-friendly.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My two sisters and I had a wonderful week at Gulf Sands. The elevator helped transport suitcases and groceries. Plenty of hot water and ice-cold AC. The view from the balcony was perfect- a solid view of the Gulf and beachgoers, but angled to block the hot afternoon sun. The mattresses were comfy, and the pool was sparkling clean. It is a short walk to the water, and it was just a couple of blocks to Publix, cafes, and shops. Even though the fridge hummed like a phone dial tone, and the Keurig coffee machine was nonfunctional, we would come here again the next time we go to AMI.

    The view of the beach from the patio was much better in person than how it looked in the booking site. Had trouble figuring out the TV when we arrived but the property manager was awesome to work with and responded promptly. Unit was clean, no bug issues at all and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was wonderful and warm! The road noise was a little louder than expected but the condo location was perfect for going to the beach, trolley and stores.

    We have stayed at this property before; but not in this unit. It was so much nicer than the previous one we rented!It was very clean and the kitchen and bathrooms were all nicely updated. There were so many little extras that made our stay especially nice: starters on dishwasher tablets and dishwashing detergent, paper towels and toilet paper; as well as spices, oils, and cooking supplies. The kitchen was WELL stocked. There were also an abundance of fresh beach towels and bath towels. The location couldn’t better: directly on the beach with private beach access, Publix within a few blocks, and the local gym less than a 5 minute drive (they have weekly memberships, FYI!). If you like firm mattresses, this is your place! Lots of blankets and pillows made the stay very comfortable.Large TVs in the living room and bedrooms. TONS of books to read in the mini-library. The patio furniture is in great condition and the balcony offers a full beach view. We watched the dolphins play for about 20 minutes the morning we left :) There is also a small storage area of beach supplies- chairs, umbrella, wagon, etc. I will say the beach chairs needed a little attention- we ended buying some camp chairs from Ace Hardware (also a close drive) and donated them to the storage area, as the ones there had mildew and rust on them. But other than that- excellent stay! Can’t wait to come back!

    We had a great family vacation with our 3 kids, ages 11, 10, and 7. The condo had everything we needed including chairs and toys for the beach. The location was perfect with being just steps to the beach and trolly as well as a large warm pool. We would love to return!

My husband and I were very impressed with how well equipped the unit was. We enjoyed our stay very much 😃 I had trouble opening the storage shed to access beach chairs etc. but management responded immediately and problem was solved. Great condo and great rental agency !!

    We really enjoyed staying here. The place was immaculate when we came in - by far one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed in. It’s very well stocked with kitchen items, towels and all the beach things you could need. Two parking places were included so we could park a golf cart, too. The pool and grounds were clean and well-kept- pool is heated but not overly hot. We didn’t mind being next to Manatee Beach or the road. You do hear some noise occasionally from the road, but it didn’t bother us. Communication from the rental office was excellent. Great location - right on the beach, and it’s nice to be We would definitely stay here again.
