House is beautiful, owners were helpful and kind every step of the way.
10.0 / 10.0
We were very impressed with the house! It was as advertised, well equipped (even beach towels!) and served our needs. The private pool is small, but heated and beautifully landscaped. Lots of chairs for sunning. Two large sunny balconies were great for additional outdoor space. The only “bad” thing was that it is within walking distance to Skinny’s Place, famous for their burgers , onion rings and libations. We may have gone more times than our waistlines might have liked. 😂
10.0 / 10.0
This is a real gem for Anna Maria. Not only is it steps away from the beach, it’s steps away from Publix and supplies. No need to “stock up” for the week and wait in traffic to go anywhere. Definitely going back!

House was great. Owner, was very repsonsive. Our filght got in early and we called Harvey and he changed the lock time schedule to let us in. Our weather was a litlle cooler than expected the first night. We contacted Harvey the next morning and he quickly adjusted the thermostat to give us some more heat and had his staff arrive at the house to retrieve blankets from storage.
The oven part of the range was not working and Harvey quickly arranged for a new range to be delivered 2 days later.
Again Great house, great location.

Beach was very close, just a short walk from the house. Very lovely place, a few too many artificial flower arrangements, but overall, very functional. Kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing we lacked were towels. With our 7 adults and one child, we only had one bath towel, one hand towel and one wash cloth per person. We could have used a few more. I would recommend staying here and I hope to return.

Great location. Great house! We were hot the entire week because of controlled air conditioner-This would be out biggest complaint- to pay this much and not be comfortable- with threats of charging more money-

The house was beautiful! Looks just as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. The amenities were as described. We loved relaxing by the pool. We range in age from 87-22 and we all loved it. According to my mother “she has stayed in many beach houses in her 87 years and this was by far the best”. The beach is about 100 yards away. Harvey was attentive and patient with my many questions before and during our stay. We all agreed we would stay there again.

Decks off of every bedroom but nothing to sit on except for in master suite Queen bedroom very dark and burnt out light in closet hallway made it difficult to see what was in the closet
The the proximity to the beach is great but results in REALLY loud traffic noise if you are on the deck. However inside you hear nothing. We were fortunate that most of the time no one was in the adjoining unit as the main decks are quite close to each other

The perfect beach house for little kids
Tropical Sands blew our expectations out of the water. It truly was paradise. We traveled with my parents and our 3.5 and 1.5 year old. We wanted a place that gave us everything we could need and this house did that and more! The pool was perfect for all of us and equipped with plenty of toys! The beach was literally less than a block away and we had everything we needed in the garage! We cooked most of our meals in the home and the kitchen was fully stocked! There are alot of stairs so keep that in mind but there is also an elevator. We put a couple chairs at the top to keep our toddler from going down and that did the trick. I rented a pack n play and high chair and it was in the rental when we arrived so make sure to look into that if needed! The views to the beach were exceptional and Harvey made sure we had a wonderful week!

All as advertised…and more!
Let me just say this: Stay here! Perfect beach location…a walk across the street to a sparsely “populated” beach. A look up the beach to the right shows a bigger crowd but it didn’t overflow down to our area. A one minute walk to Skinny’s for a quick bite or Corona, and right across from it is a surf shop with tshirts, high-end flip flops, great hats, beachwear, etc. A 30 second walk from there takes you to the public beach parking and a bar/restaurant and a less expensive beach shop with hats, lots of souvenirs and beach stuff. The house is a quick golf cart ride to Publix and Walgreens.
House was amazing!! Elevator helped to load/unload groceries and suitcases. Sheets and mattresses were super comfy. Thick towels in the bathrooms. We’ll appointed kitchen with blender, knife sharpener, and two coffee makers (including one that could accommodate the k-cups or make a whole pot). The balcony on the third floor was a great place to watch the sunsets and it overlooked the pool area. Casey (property mgr) was super responsive whenever we had a question. Would stay there again in a heart beat!!

great location and accommodations
We had 7 in our group and we had plenty of room. We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool. The dining table on the top floor balcony was a great location for evening meals and for those that needed to catch up on work emails during the day.

Fall Break 2021
This was an absolutely perfect trip. The house was even better than described, and the pictures do not do the property justice. Harvey was a delight to work with to book, and Casey (property manager) went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed once we were on AMI. We rented a golf cart to explore the island, which I highly recommend - we did not use our car once until we packed up to leave. It was a highlight of the trip for the kids.
The beach is perfect. We have stayed at oceanfront rentals that are farther walks than here! Harvey also has an entire garage full of beach supplies (chairs, tents, buggies, toys, etc!)
The beds are all super cozy with high quality linens, and the kitchen is better stocked than my own. We will most certainly be back!

A fabulous family reunion!
Harvey's home was absolutely incredible! From the location (literally right across the beach!) to the amenities, our week flew by and we didn't want to leave! We hadn't seen our family since December 2019 and I couldn't think of a better place for all of us to be together. We want to go back to Harvey's house every year!

Beautiful home, great location, and fantastic vacation!
Tropical Sands was a wonderful home for our family vacation. Harvey and the team made everything so easy from booking to check-in to check-out. The house is a great setup for larger families as there are multiple areas where you can relax and everyone can have some space. The elevator made loading and unloading much easier. (Although, I rather enjoyed the stairs for a little extra exercise throughout the week.) The house is well stocked with whatever you might need - coolers, chairs, a couple of tents, beach carts, etc. The location is great as the beach access is a very short walk across the street. The beds were all very comfortable with high quality linens. Oh, and you MUST try the master shower. Wow, what a luxurious spa-like experience. They spared no expense when designing this home. It's truly a luxury retreat. Publix is walking distance so no need to scramble to try and bring everything or buy everything at once. The pool is nice treat and the outdoor shower by the pool makes rinsing the sand off not only easy, but also relaxing. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely book this house again. You can't go wrong with this one. You will not be disappointed. We will be back for sure.

Amazing stay
After figuring out the layout of the house it was great that we all had our own space. The master suite was awesome but the shower in master bath was AMAZING!! We loved all the balconies. The view from the top floor was great as well. It was a short walk to the beach & the garage had all our beach needs. It was nice to come back to the pool after the beach. We would definitely rent again!!

Fantastic stay!
We had a group of six of us and stayed for eleven nights. The location of the house is very convenient to the beach and Publix for our shopping needs. The communication with Harvey and Cory was great! We used the beach and pool daily! It was nice to have both options available to us. The outdoor shower by the pool was great for rinsing off when returning from the beach. Overall, we really enjoyed the home!

Best beach access away from the crowd! Literally just across the street from the house. Also a short walk to Publix which was awesome. Great beach views from balconies. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed inside and out from beach towels to beach cart which made trucking chairs and toys so easy.
