Historic 1924 Luxury Beach Home with Large Heated Pool 3 Houses to Beach Reviews

Liked: Cleanliness

A unique and lovely home. Thoroughly recommended

The Sand Castle is a very unusual Anna Maria rental, in all very positive ways. The layout is an adventure itself, with the spiral staircase to the tower. Bedrooms are huge. Air conditioning does an excellent job. Pool is in great condition. Only three houses from the beach. The owner (Ben) lives opposite and introduces himself, giving you a history lesson of the house and putting you at absolute ease. We have rented many Anna Maria homes over the years. This was the biggest, and most memorable. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks Ben.
