Sandy Cheeks & Barefeet, Gorgeous interior Gulf beach Place, pool, on beach side
ST Lic CND5101424 City licVRC23-000018 Gulf views from several rooms and lanai! Quick access (only 1 small house between you and sun & sand). 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath, Sleeps 4, Pool, Gulf Views, Steps to the Beach! No Pets Fabulous Location on the island & beach! 60 steps to sand!! No roads to cross!!! Beachy themed, spacious, & Gulf ocean water views are ways to describe this 1395 sq. ft. 2 bed, 2 bath condo on beautiful Anna Maria Island at Holmes Beach 1/2 way down the Gulf Beach coastline. No high rises, only old Florida charm at its best!! Less than a minute walk out to the ocean waves & white sand, convenient quick walk to groceries & pharmacy, bike/ golf cart rental, & the popular Cheesecake Cutie breakfast/lunch cafe. No need for a car as AMI offers a free trolley, Monkey Buss, or rent a bike for a ride in either direction will take you to famous Bridge Street for fun, tiki bars, & waterfront restaurants, or head to the Anna Maria Island City Pier for fishing! There is live music at several venues most nights around the island. Seasonal local beach markets, farmer’s markets, and local theater can be enjoyed. The bright and cheery master bedroom has a king bed, a TV, direct access to the Lanai, Gulf views, & its own private bathroom. The second bedroom has a full bed, twin bed, tv and front Lanai for beautiful sunrises! Second bathroom is nearby. Large bedrooms, spacious kitchen and living room! A washer/dryer are located in the condo. The condo is newly renovated with lively bright colors giving off a beach island vibe, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, beach towels, driftwood flooring, two lanais, one with views of the turquoise blue sea & white sand, and a beach closet containing toys, chairs, wagon, and umbrella. That is what you will find if you stay at Gulf Beach Place, unit 3, (it truly feels like a home). An 8 unit complex (split into 2 buildings) with heated pool in between, bbq grill area, on a quiet, less traveled part of Gulf Drive! Two Car parking in tandum in carport area under the building. This condo lends itself to quick access to the Gulf of Mexico’s ocean waters shimmering as the sky paints one of its gorgeous sunsets from its own rooftop deck only 12 steps above or stroll down to the soft sandy beach with seashell bucket in hand. Watch dolphins swim by during your morning coffee on the back Lanai or flow through a yoga routine at sunrise on the rooftop as the island awakes. Touring the island on bikes is a fun way to enjoy an afternoon. Have a larger group? Rent a separate unit for your extended group! A vacation to remember awaits you!

We were so pleased the condo was so well stocked every need was taken care of. So close to the beach no worries of crossing a street. The decor was so cute and beachy. Absolutely a wonderful stay.
Condo was very easy to access the Beach. Loved parking my vehicle out of the elements. Had everything we needed and within walking distance to several shops and restaurants.
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.
Great location; everything we needed in the unit; plenty of beach chairs and towels. Unit was very clean. 10/10. We look forward to renting again in the future.
Great vacation. Awesome accommodations. Condo had everything you could ever need and more. Very clean and comfortable. Truly felt like home. Gorgeous Ocean views and beautiful beach. Loved this location and vacation!
We had a fantastic time in this special place. The location is perfect and the space has all one could need. The host was very available and helpful. Our kids rated this vacation “10 out of 10”!
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.
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 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.
We absolutely loved the location of this condo. It's a short walk from a fairly quiet beach, and a 5 minute walk to Walgreens, restaurants and a trolley stop. There are dressers, closets and hooks for a comfortable stay, and entertainment including streaming services, playing cards and books. The condo is well stocked with kitchen items, spices, towels and beach supplies. Several of the beach chairs were broken, but we found enough to make it work. The listing could use updating regarding the view. There is no longer a small house between the condo and beach. It has been torn down and a very large home is being built in its place. There is still a small view of the beach, but it's mostly a view of the back of another home. I would still choose this condo for location and comfort, but would have appreciated an update about the construction to avoid disappointment.
We absolutely love this location, we have stayed 2 other yrs.That being said,the roof was being replaced it was loud at 615 am every morning, dirty, no parking under unit and finding many nails in the pool, for days,after...we hosted our parents, from NY and was embarrassed that they had to stay at a construction site...we have many pics for you.We believe we should get a refund for the first weeks rental, because of the mess, noise and inconvenience, please respond to get to a solution. Thank you
We met the owner who was very helpful and nice. Richard who was the property manager was easy to reach and quick to respond to questions. The condo itself was wonderful and had everything we needed for two weeks!
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.
We absolutely loved our stay at Sandy Cheeks and Barefeet. So close to the beach, wonderful views and a spacious, comfortable condo. The place was well stocked and so lovely. We will definitely rent this place again. We had the lovely opportunity to meet the owner, Heather, and she was so nice!!!!
The condo is in a perfect location on the beach and near to the beach cafe. Easy to find and well loved and looked after accommodation - really felt like a home from home. Would love to stay in this property again if we visit Anna Maria Island again.

Very nice property
This property is in a great location, we had everything we needed. We would have enjoyed the pool more if the water temp had been a little cooler. Would definitely stay here again.

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.
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!
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!
