2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Direct Gulf Front · Adjacent to Manatee Public Beach · Elevator · Heated Pool · Bunk Beds + Queen Guest Room · Beach Gear Storage · Stack Washer/Dryer · Undercover Parking · Open Porch

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.

    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.
