2BR · 1BA · Sleeps 6 · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · Across from Manatee Public Beach · 2024 Renovation · Shared Heated Pool · Beach Gear Provided · 1-Gig WiFi · Boat & Trailer Parking · Shared Laundry · Dead-End Street
Manatee Public Beach is directly across the street. The shared heated pool is steps from the unit. Two trolley stops are one block away. Sand Castle 1 is a Holmes Beach vacation rental on a quiet dead-end street where the beach, the pool, and the island are all within easy reach — and where guests come back year after year. Some for four consecutive years running.
The unit was completely renovated in 2025. New granite kitchen with modern appliances, fully tiled walk-in shower in the renovated bathroom, fresh coastal décor, and new furnishings throughout. The semi-private deck has beach gear storage — chairs, umbrella, and wagon included for trips across the street.
Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed with its own TV. The guest bedroom has two twin beds. The living room sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. High-speed 1-gig WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen for meals at home. Shared laundry on the property. Linens and towels provided.
Dogs are welcome with a $150 non-refundable fee — the dead-end street and the resort layout make this one of the more comfortable pet-friendly setups in Holmes Beach.
Cafe on the Beach, Skinny's Place, and local dining are within easy walking distance. The free island trolley stops close by for exploring all of AMI without a car. Boat and trailer parking is available on-site.
Sand Castle 1 is one of four renovated units at MI Happy Place — all on the same property, sharing the heated pool and grilling area.
Sand Castle 1 requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for two vehicles.

Will Stay Again!!
Our family of 6 stayed for spring break. House is very clean. Beds were very comfortable including the pull out couch. There were plenty of extra linens and beach towels. We were just steps away from the ocean. There were sand toys, a wagon and beach chairs available for us to use. Our 4 boys loved the pool. Great stay!! We hope to be back again with more family to rent out the additional units!! Great spot for multi families to stay!!

Reviewer Comments:
We really loved our stay at sand castle. The home was clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable week away. We loved that the beach was so close and loved the cooled temperature of the pool. We met one of the owners, Jim, who was there doing repairs while we were there and he was so welcoming and friendly. The only thing we wished we had was a vacuum for 2 reasons. The first was to get the same out of the grout of the tiles of the floor and the 2nd was we had brought our things in vacuum seal bags and we couldn’t shrink them to go home. Overall the home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable and perfect for our week.

This was our second time staying at this property, we choose this place for location and yard for our basset hounds. MI Happy Place has always been very clean, great amenities and quiet dead end street. We were not really planning on AMI this fall but when the great rates showed up in an email.... I booked! We love AMI and this property has stayed reasonably priced unlike some other areas on the island. We will return & recommend this property!

Nice location, centrally located. Last unit, sits right on the curve in the road to Holmes beach. A fence should be considered to cut the traffic noise down. Furniture was outdated and uncomfortable. The place was clean. I definitely would recommend renting a car...so much to explore. The Ugly Grouper was our favorite place to eat. Publix supermarket was nearby for your grocery needs. I couldn’t get the grill to light, so that was a no go.

Sand Castle at Mi Happy Place was in such a great location. We could walk across the street to the beach, walk to supermarket, restaurants. Very comfortable space. Communication with Island Vacation properties was great. (Via texts) I hope to return next year. Thanks for the great memories. Only negative is - Sitting outside is a bit loud due to traffic.

We had a great time. The location of this property is perfect. We could walk across the street to the beach and it had all the gears needed for a beach day. Walking distance to restaurants and bars. The pool was always nice and clean. Coming back for sure!

We ended up loving the location. It was located on a street where there was no through traffic. The condos across from us were lovely and beautifully landscaped. It was a great neighborhood for walking and biking. Our pool was great although not always as clean as possible. Being in Unit I we caught more road noise especially as there was an unnecessary gap in the landscaping. There is safer, convenient access to the cafe on the beach just a short way off site so that gap is not needed. Our deck was also smaller than the other units. But I loved the kitchen and the master bedroom. The bed was very comfortable. We would rent there again if we could get a unit other than #1. The units are very quiet. You get no noise from your adjoining neighbor.

Rented a cute 2 BR cottage that has a beach theme and recently updated. Would have been better with 2 bath instead of 1. Busy street next to cottage although trees did buffer some noise. Needed to walk down to stop lights to cross street to beach. Very clean unit. Renting unit in 2021.

We enjoyed our trip to Anna Maria Island. From booking to check out, the process was simple. The condo was well-stocked. The linens were fresh and clean, and the king sized bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. It was too chilly to use the pool, but we noticed that it was spotless and with chairs and a BBQ grill available. Thank you for the excellent experience. We already booked for next year. Same time, same place!! Happy, Happy.
