About this house rental

Welcome to Sandy Pants!
On Anna Maria Island (Holmes Beach, FL)

The Space
Where creativity meets coastal calm, Sandy Pants brings modern design and island ease together just steps from the Gulf. Every detail feels intentional — from the natural light streaming through open spaces to the textures and tones that invite connection, rest, and inspiration.

Perfect for: design lovers, families who value connection, and travelers seeking inspiration near the sea.

Highlights
- Prime beach block location — just a few homes from the soft quartz sand of the Gulf of Mexico
- Heated private pool surrounded by tropical landscaping and lounge space
- Outdoor dining area for 6, hammock, built-in grill, sun loungers
- Stylish open-concept living area with natural light and TV for relaxing evenings
- Three comfortable bedrooms with additional sleeping flexibility on custom bunks

Interior
Inside the heart of Sandy Pants is an open, artfully designed living area that brings the whole group together. Coastal décor meets modern comfort, with soft neutrals and textures inspired by the sea. A spacious living room offers plush seating and a Smart TV, while wide windows fill the room with natural light.

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and counter space — designed for effortless meal prep or morning coffee rituals. The adjacent dining area with seating for 6 brings everyone together to share meals, laughter, and stories after a day in the sun.

Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to inspire your inner chef or host:

- Stove, oven, and microwave
- Refrigerator/freezer
- 12-cup coffeemaker and Keurig
- Blender, toaster, and full kitchenware set

The open layout keeps you connected as meals come together — from quick breakfasts before the beach to laid-back dinners after sunset. Dine indoors at the coastal-style table for 6 or outside beneath the palms for a true island experience.

Each bedroom feels like a personal sanctuary, designed with care and creativity in mind:

- King Bedroom: A serene retreat with sliders that lead to the pool, Smart TV, simple elegance and plush comfort, en-suite with walk-in shower.

- Shared upstairs full bath with double vanity and tub/shower combo.

Outdoor Living
Step outside and feel the gentle rhythm of the island. The private heated pool is framed by palms and lush greenery, creating an inviting atmosphere for sunbathing or a refreshing swim. Enjoy long afternoons in the hammock or relaxed evening gatherings around the outdoor dining table for 6.

The built-in grill and prep area make it easy to cook outside. Whether you're reading poolside, sipping something cool, or floating beneath the stars, this backyard was designed for both play and peace.

Sandy Pants is a great house. Very easy location to walk to the beach or into Anna Maria. The house is well equipped with everything you need. Only downside was the master bedroom - the bed is more of a mattress topper than a mattress - but other than that the location, the amenities, the pool, the communication everything was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed Sandy Pants, especially the location, amenities, and pool, and that everything felt well equipped for your stay. That's exactly what we hope for our guests. We really appreciate you mentioning the master bedroom bed as well. Feedback like this is incredibly helpful, and we're going to take a closer look to ensure it meets the level of comfort we aim to provide. We'd absolutely love to host you again anytime!

Nice house. Fairly close to the beach. Lots of things in the kitchen needed to be repaired. The dish washer leaked, the kitchen faucet fell off completely and then the handle on it broke. Fridge didn’t get that cold and downstairs little bathroom toilet, the water constantly ran and didn’t flush well.
