Excellent family vacation
We recently spent a week at a Sandy Turtle - Gulf Place 3-bedroom condo. The location was excellent. It was directly on a beautiful beach with many restaurants located within minutes. The condo was immaculate and extensively appointed with everything we needed for our stay including beach chairs and toys for the kids. Additionally, the rental company was friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

Family trip
My family and I had the pleasure of staying in this unit last week and it was a dream! The unit felt luxurious and you can tell it’s been recently updated and was well stocked with kitchen items, soaps, paper towels etc which lasted the whole week and even beach chairs, umbrellas and toys for us to use which really came in handy. We had a wonderful stay and we hope to stay again next year!

Outstanding condo on the beach
Anna Maria is a beautiful beach and this condo is delightful. It is a pleasure to have your morning coffee looking over the pooll onto the gulf of Mexico. All of the appliances and furniture are brand new. The host, Sandy, is wonderful to work with. We are coming back next year. Tom K from New Hampshire

Beautiful Condo on Gorgeous Holmes Beach
I'm always worried when booking a place online that the pictures are better than reality. That is definitely NOT the case with this condo. It is gorgeous and beautifully decorated in a modern beachy style. All the furniture looks brand new & is well taken care of. When we checked in, everything was spotless & there was a starter kit for all the necessities you might need (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap etc.) which actually lasted us the entire week. The location can't be beat with a beautiful gulf view visible from the open concept living room & kitchen. It is literally steps off the beach and because it's a first floor unit, you can walk right out your back sliding door to the pool or beach. This is the first time we ever stayed beachfront and it was great because we could come back for lunch each day and my husband and son could leave and take our rental car to do other activities in the afternoon when they were tired of the beach without leaving me and my daughter stranded. I would 100% stay here again when visiting AMI. It was convenient to a lot of our favorite restaurants and the beach in this location can't be beat. There are public beach accesses nearby but the beach was never crowded.
One word of caution: the head of management here is very strict. There are condo rules that have to be followed 100% & he is on the lookout for violations. We got a written warning on our first morning because my son had gone to the beach at night and hung his towel on the railing to dry (which is shocking since he usually throws his towel on the floor at home!) I hadn't thought about telling him about the towel rule since we hadn't gone to the beach yet. Anyway, the supervisor came to our sliding door at 8 am when we were still in our pajamas with a written violation and told us that if we had one more violation we would be evicted. No 2nd chances. He seemed gleeful when delivering the paper & was quick to tell my husband he'd just evicted another renter earlier in the week for having more than 6 people in their condo. It was not a great introduction to the complex & I heard several other people renting the week we were there complaining that he had written them up for petty things too. I understand there needs to be rules & I don't want a spring breakers partying next door to me but seriously the things he was writing people up for were ridiculous. Just make sure you read through the rules & you should be good!

Fabulous place to stay on the Island!
It has been such a great experience! Condo is coveniently located on the beach, ocean front view, pool view. Our children could go to the pool and we could see them from balcony and even from living room. Steps from the beach. Pool is clean and has salt water! Property is very clean. Tennis court.
Condo itself looks brand new, everything is sparkling clean. Looks like was just renovated. Living room is spacious and sofa is very new and clean. Beds are very comfortable, Kitchen is equipped with everything you can imagine. We do cook a lot and we could find everything we normally have at home in the kitchen. Grocery store, publix, very close driving distance and had variety of foods.
Great communication with the host!
Highly recommend! The best place on the island!
