Completely Renovated Post Hurricanes w/ heated pool, 5 min walk to beach
Welcome to Sandy Palms….
COMPLETELY RENOVATED AFTER THE 2024 STORMS with new drywall, electrical, plumbing, cabinets, vanities, paint, appliances & more. New photos were taken Dec 20, 2024.
You’ll love this updated classic Florida beach house. On a quiet dead-end street and close to everything in Holmes Beach. It’s a perfect home base for your family to enjoy the laid back, Old Florida lifestyle of Anna Maria Island. Sandy Palms is managed by the owners who live in FL and are always available if you should need anything during your stay.
Sandy Palms is a single family home- not a duplex. Completely renovated and updated through out with all the comforts of home . The house is professionally cleaned between each guest. We (the owners) personally check the home before each check-in to assure everything is ready for your arrival.
The blue gulf waters and spectacular sunsets are just a 5 minute walk. Restaurants and shopping are a couple of blocks away. Grocery store is only 1-1/2 miles away. And the free AMI trolley stop is right around the corner, where you can catch a ride to stops all over the island. Shopping, dining, live music, fishing…. you’ll be spoiled for choices to fill your vacation days.
This ground level home has no stairs to climb, just one step-down into the sunroom. New tile floors throughout. Our kitchen is well stocked quartz countertops and appliances. There's a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and a large glass shower. Guest room 1 has a king bed and en suite bath with walk-in shower. Guest room 2 has two twin beds. There's a 3rd bathroom with a shower/tub combo and a door to the private outside shower. All bedrooms have closets, fans and smart TVs. The pool (heated to 85 deg Oct thru May) is protected with a removable child-safety fence. It's a perfect place for your family to enjoy time together without having to share common spaces with strangers.
Just bring your bathing suit and flip-flops, we've got the rest. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cart and a coolers are provided for your convenience. And a supply of soaps, detergents, paper products and basic spices are stocked for you as well.
We’ve been coming to AMI for years and would love to share our recommendations for anything else you might need…. just ask!

We loved our time at this beautiful Vrbo. All redone and such a great location. All the amenities plus more ! First time in AMI and we loved it ! We will be back and hope to stay again. Such a beautiful home!
Lovely Spotless home in quiet neighborhood. We loved the proximity to the beach and some local bars and restaurants. Free trolly access was great also. We rented bikes which worked out great as well. Ty and hope to visit again soon!
We had a wonderful stay. Private home on a quiet street close to everything. The home is immaculate and photos capture the home perfectly. We highly recommend this property.
Excellent quality home with all of the necessary amenities for a relaxing week. Great communication from the host as well. Overall, would highly recommend to anyone interested in visiting AMI / Holmes Beach.
This place is the perfect setup. Close to the beach, restaurants, shops and the host has everything that you need. We have rented many places on the island over the past 10 years and loved this place the most.
This was over the top excellent place to stay! Absolutely private, quiet and 5 minute walk to private beach. Everything was thought of, every detail was perfect. We are very fussy travelers and we were very pleased. All new and clean. The pool was an added bonus. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Rebecca for sharing your beautiful home!
Fantastic experience for our family vacation. The property was immaculate and everything that we could have needed was available for our use. Rebecca was attentive and helpful. Only complaint is that we wish we could stay longer.
We had an excellent time here! My young family of four loved the space and bedroom options. It’s perfect for a family needing extra room for kids, and the pool was beyond lovely! Overall, we loved it and hope to go back!
My husband and I and our son, daughter-in-law and their two young children had a wonderful week in your newly renovated home close to the beach. We appreciated the layout of your home as well as all the safety features. The house was well supplied with everything we needed. We hope to visit again.
This is our second time staying here and couldn't ask for anything more. It truly is home! Rebecca has many amenities to offer. We will definitely be back!
This house was CLEAN! I usually have to wear socks or slippers at a rental because the floors aren't that clean. Not here!! She also had everything you could think of. Very great host. A lot of extra hangers to hang clothes up. Cozy towels. We were pleased!
Rebecca's rental is one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. The kitchen is well equipped for any cooking you may want to do, and she is very helpful with any questions you may have. We highly recommend this house if you are planning on visiting Anna Maria Island. The location is perfect!
This home is absolutely beautiful and is a short walk to the beach! Rebecca is easy to contact and made the check-in and check-out process very smooth!
Sandy Palms is a pristine beach property in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy walking access to the beach, and conveniently located near many stores and restaurants.
Our host was extremely friendly, helpful and accomodating.
This house fit exactly what we needed for our week stay. The house is extremely clean, there were great touches of puzzles and games, and the perfect walking distance to the beach and other restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.
What a beautiful home and very clean!
Loved everything about it!
Rebecca checked in to make sure everything was good!
Loved the yard and pool! Truly was tropical oasis! We will definitely stay here again!!

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Purinton
Our family of six has been making day trips to AMI since we moved to Florida. We love the beaches, the people, the restaurants, the shops and the small island feel. Having a place of our own here has been a dream for many years. We're so excited to finally make it a reality. We hope you enjoy our home-away-from-home as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this particular house because it's "just enough".
Just big enough to have everything you need, just small enough to keep tidying-up chores easy, just close enough to all the fun but still be private & quiet, and just far enough away from our home in Tampa to feel like a vacation without a long drive.
What makes this property unique
Our house is centrally located on Anna Maria Island, close to beach, the bay, shopping, entertainment and dining. The beach is just a 5 min walk away..... 10 houses.... exactly 450 steps. Our beach area is usually not crowded as their is no public parking nearby so day trippers are not an issue. We go the extra step between each guest; the house is professionally cleaned and then double checked by ourselves, the owners. We live only an hour away and we are always reachable, so you're never going to be left without someone to address any issues you may have. We take great pride in keeping our vacation house as nice & inviting as our full time home. We think of you as our personal guests.
