If you want a completely relaxed break on a stunning, pristine beach then White Sands truly is the place. A totally laid back place with the benefit of very helpful and friendly staff. Anna Maria has all the amenities of a modern town but still remains unspoilt allowing a really relaxed holiday. White Sands suited us (a family of 4)... More

Been staying at White sands for years and finally remembered to leave feedback. Laid back owners who make sure your stay is comfortable, hassle free and a true vacation getaway! Located on one of the best beaches on Anna Maria Island. Very reasonable. You can walk to the public beach and many restaurants. Pool is always just the right temp... More

We stayed at the White Sand on 2 occasions last year - once in January and again in November. As other people have said its great! Anna Maria Island is unlike the rest of Florida - almost unspoilt and White Sands is homely and comfortable. The staff are very friendly, the beach is superb and the accommodation is perfect. And...

This is a small resort so it is filled with a down home feeling, everyone is so nice and willing to do anything for you. I loved it. It is much nicer than the pictures make it look. I would recommend it to anyone. I hope to visit alot. More

It was very economical, right on the beach, great heated pool for the couple of cool days we had, we had a blast play shuffle board, the free trolley pick up is right there along with being in walking to distance to...

This is like going back in time and staying with your relatives on the beautiful beach in the 70's. The people are friendly and personable, the beach is the finest anywhere, the pool is roomy and I have stayed there many times over the years and have great memories, but.......the owners are not keeping the apartments as clean as they...

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. We had a 2 bed apartment which was spacious and well furnished. There was a full kitchen. The guys that run it are very friendly and certainly packed... More

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
