This August, 2008 will be our 4th visit in 3 years to White Sands on Anna Maria Island. We really love the laid back atmosphere of AMI & the White Sands. Location of the motel can't be beat, out your door & right on the beach or into the pool. We have always found the apartment to be clean &... more

We spent a week at this small freindly place in December. Being able to walk out of your apartment door and onto the beach has to be the best Florida vacation experience.

The White Sands Beach Resort was great. It was right on the beach. The water is so clear and the sand very fine and white. We had a kitchen which made it easy for meals so we could spend more time on the beach. more

We just returned from a week long vacation to Anna Maria Island with our two small children (ages 2 and 5). This was our first time in the area. We stayed at the White Sands Beach Resort in Holmes Beach. Our family had a great experience at the resort. I think we may have had different expectations than the previous... more
