Sandy's Getaway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sandy’s Getaway offers two distinct spaces to accommodate the whole family or multiple couples - a ground-level bedroom and a larger upstairs suite, connected by outdoor stairs. Everyone is welcome here, and that does include the family dog! Canine members of the family, up to 30 lbs, are welcome.

Inside, you'll find a small living area, TV, and private bathroom in the downstairs suite, as well as a washer and dryer, accessible from the outside. Regroup upstairs in the great room, or lounge on the deck while the gas grill heats up. Inside, the kitchen is fully equipped with dishware and modern appliances, including a dishwasher for easy clean-up. After dinner, gather in the living room for a movie night on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV, or use the free WiFi to keep in touch with everyone back home. Discover what island life is all about - book here today!

This home is just a block from the pristine beach, so you may want to spend all day on the sand. Head about half a mile up the road to explore some dining options, including delicious seafood at The Sandbar Restaurant. If you'd like to explore the island, up to three cars can park in the driveway - but we recommend simply hopping on the free trolley that runs up and down Anna Maria Island!

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.

    The location of the rental is good as its close to a beach access on Holmes and the trolley stops. It is nicely decorated. The water pressure in every sink is terrible and hardly any water trickles out. Both bathroom showers have excellent water pressure though.The upstairs bathroom toilet tank is about to fall off the back of the toilet and we were afraid it would come off while using. The main upstairs bedroom door is hard to open and close as the door probably needs a bit removed off the bottom to alleviate this. The downstairs bedroom has absolutely no storage for any hanging clothes. They should replace the long dresser with a wardrobe with both hanging and drawer options. Neither bathroom in the unit have any hook on the back of the doors to hanging toiletry bags have no where to go. The downstairs bathroom sink is only a sink with no lower storage either. There is no accessible electrical outlet on the sink side so everything has to plug in on the island. Since this rental is right on Gulf drive as others have noted, its extremely loud/noisy from road noise and loud music going down the road. I used a white noise on the phone to help drown this out at night. Overall, it was an ok place to stay for a couple of nights, but I would never come back. Pretty expensive with all the fees for all these issues.

    Property was OK, it’s the property management by Vacasa, that is the issue. Unfortunately, would not stay at any other property managed by Vacasa.

    The home is nice and close to the beach. But doesn’t have beds for everyone. The beds in the lower room aren’t good. And There is no disposer in the sink. And doesn’t have blender.

    We had a great time with the family, the location was perfect close to the beach, restaurants stores etc. The house was clean and comfortable and the sunsets are amazing very relaxing place to stay.

    The downstairs A/C window unit was not large enough to cool the room. My daughter and son-in-law slept in another house with a friend one night and slept on the couches upstairs the other night. They cut their trip short because of this and only stayed two nights. To fill up the tank on the upstairs toilet, we had to open the lid and touch the gray piece connected to the float. I just left the lid off the whole time. The dryer quit working Sunday, so we were unable to wash the towels or any of our clothes. I used the same towel for my last five showers! I asked for clean towels to be delivered on four different occasions; by text, by phone, through the serviceman that came out to check the dryer, and one last time by text, again. No resolution at all! The standard reply was we are sorry, we will contact your local support. The serviceman said the unit would need a new dryer and he would bring one that afternoon to replace it. That never happened. During the summer months, it would be a nice house for two adults and two children, but definitely not 8 adults. Too hot to sleep downstairs with that small A/C window unit. I fell like I should be compensated for the issues mentioned above and the fact that my kids left early from our family vacation trip, but I'm not holding my breath waiting on a resolution to that, since nothing else was ever resolved. Sounds to me like there is no local support. I will avoid using Vacasa in the future.

    just a short walk to direct beach access made this house the perfect location. but vrBO does not mean by owner anymore. managing agent could have cared less. we had problems getting in with little help. we advised them of the black mold and said they would call within an hour but never did. second bathroom and bedroom not included in the main house level and had to be separated from our friends all weekend. house inside and outside was disgustingly dirty. if you love the beach.. this house is for you.
