Dog-friendly house w/ beautiful upstairs deck and grill, steps from the beach

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.

no resolution to issues
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.

great location for beach lovers
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.

Nice but inaccurate listing
Pros: 5 minute walk to beach, central location, nice house. Having 2 sleeping areas was nice for multiple families. Stairs were not at steep as other reviews seemed to suggest. Cons: 1. The beds available were not as described. The listings are different on both VRBO and Vacasa’s app and neither are correct. There are actually 1 king, 1 double with a pull out couch, and 1 single size day bed and a single bed. (See 2.) 2. I tried to contact Vacasa about the bed situation and they said they would “get back to me” and never did. 3. We were never sent lock box codes at check in and had to call them to get into the house. A few suggestions for the owner: 1. Pillows are all very flat, it would be nice to have a few firmer pillows to use. 2. Knives are exceedingly dull. Either new knives or a sharpener would be nice. 3. It would be really helpful for young families to have a high chair or booster seat available for use.

No stove, no internet, no service
For some reason, Vacasa was somehow involved with this rental. After we left I refuse the casa and apparently they are one star out of five stars for over 500 reviews. I didn't have a stove, I bought $150 of groceries, we didn't have internet, I missed several hours of work, I found three roaches and a massive ants, the downstairs unit had extremely high odors due to painting and could not use it. The coffee canter was hidden finally found it. They tried moving us twice as far from the beach on day three but by that time we are already settled in and it was really a very sterile relocation. I'm pretty sure not giving somebody an oven or Internet in their rental if they advertise they have an oven and internet in a rental I'm pretty sure that's illegal

Lovely Anna Maria
First time in this part of Florida and it was great! Easy flight into Tampa from DFW (impressive airport in Tampa). Very comfy place and convenient to a beautiful beach about a 5 minute walk. Had some initial issues with a/c and tv but quickly addressed. Wi-Fi slow and couldn’t get it to work last two days but no worries. Cooked a number of meals in and they could use a few more kitchen utensils but you can make it work. Very comfy and relaxing trip! Thanks!

Be aware of the steps before renting!
The home was very nicely decorated and clean and bright. However the STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS!! Please show photo when advertising this unit. It really should not be rented to the older vacationers. Or ones with young children. The lower bedroom needs a rack or hooks to hang up clothes!! The location is noisy but other than these issues it was nice.

The little apartment room was perfect for our bigger kids. They had an escape! The house was so cute and perfect for our stay. Just a little walk to the beach. It was so so quaint and perfect. Plenty of beach towels and It had beach toys and chairs and the alligator floaty was a favorite for our girls. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would definitely stay here again

Our Stay at Anna Maria Island
We just loved our vacation at Anna Maria Island! The house that we rented was just great and very spacious. The vicinity to the beach (just a short walk) and the privacy of the location made our stay very enjoyable. We would certainly recommend this facility to our friends. Very satisfied!

Over all negative experience
Unfortunately, we arrived after traveling from out of state and were told we could not check in due to termites in the house. We were also told no other accommodations could be provided for us, thus leaving us potentially stranded. After a strong discussion, the property agreed to let us stay for our visit. The house is very cute and spacious. However, the kitchen was ill equipped missing basic things such as measuring cups, water cups (lots of wine glasses and coffee cups but only 4 regular cups) and other basics. It’s close to the beach but on a busy and loud street corner. The Wi fi isn’t great. So, we had a great trip and loved AMI but wouldn’t stay here again.

Nice place, great location
We enjoyed our stay here. The upstairs was bright and clean with plenty of seating. There is a free trolley that runs up and down the street next to the house so you can jump on to get to the beach, shopping or food. Anne Maria Island was awesome and the beaches were perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

Stairway to the ...
We had a great time even though the weather wasn't great. Property was neat and clean. Only problem is the main living quarters were up on the second floor. If you are not able to climb a flight of stairs do not rent this. Grill is not on the porch as pictured it is in the carport...all food and grilling utensils have to be carried up and down the stairs. The master suit under the main floor in back of carport was really nice. Every thing you needed but a kitchen, lol.

Perfect Location
Overall a great little place. Excellent value. Very clean. MINIMAL toiletries/towels. Better to bring your own, especially beach towels etc. They provide 1 towel per person for your entire stay. Good to know that ahead. Service was good, occasionally long wait times when calling. Truly a great location- 1/2 mile from the Sandbar and other shops- great beach access.

Property management not accommodating
We purchased insurance through Home away and got the run around when trying to use it when storms hit. It was my birthday and instead of accommodating my family we got stuck in the storm and ended up leaving early. Would not recommend booking through vacasa property management.
