Pros: Visible Security. Helpful staff. Nice outdoor pool area. Large deck right before the beach (in case you want to avoid the sand). Multiple grills around the property. Family friendly. Cons: MOST ROOMS ARE OUTDATED (we stayed in 2-102. Wouldn't recommend)...they look like they haven't been remodeled since the 80's. Mildew in bathroom. Strange odor when turning on the faucets. Local Teenagers seem to be all over the property (but management and security appear to keep things under control). Would definitely return - but would request a renovated room.

When we go again to AMI we will absolutely stay at Tradewinds Beach Resort. We feel like we…read morediscovered a real gem of a location. We had one of the one-bedroom south cottages that had a separate bedroom, full bathroom, full-size kitchen with all appliances and cooking accessories, and a living room with a nice TV and sofa. It was super clean and they were very nice. The pool was small but nice (no hot tub) and we thoroughly loved the back dock which sits on the bayside and was great for watching sunrises. The resort supplied an umbrella, towels and chairs for the beach. The island is so narrow at that point that you can watch a sunrise from the back dock in the morning and just walk across the street to the beach in the afternoon. The property was very well landscaped and we found it to be really quiet and quaint. Enjoyed having our own small porch to sit on and also having a parking space right in front of the cottage. The location is very close to Cortez Road bridge and right across from Cortez Beach. We could have walked to Bridge Street if we wanted to go for a little hike but time constraints prevented it. There are several restaurants within walking distance and the trolley stop is right in front of the property. We knew nothing about AMI when we booked the cottage but found that we liked this location much more than the crowded and hectic north end of the island. We said to each other many times that we could not believe we picked such a neat place with so much charm and personality. We have stayed in several beachside condos and much preferred this cottage experience.

My hubby & I and our dog Mocha Coconut loved everything about our stay here. Our first impression…read morewhen we came were the grounds were extremely kept up and clean. We checked in with ease once our North Cottage(number 15) was ready. It was very clean, smelled fresh, and very open. We loved our space with living room kitchen, dining area, bedroom with king bed, large closest, and good size bathroom. They kept everything up so nicely. We loved that it is dog friendly, has a heated pool, fishing pier off back, and beach across the street. It is a good location, close to everything, and definitely an island getaway with a perfectly relaxing feel! So happy we found this place. We would recommend it to anyone. There are a number of different options depending on your size of group.

The beach was very dirty, and after coming out of the water, you have to be an acrobat to avoid falling due to the steep slope. Honestly, I would not return to Tortuga Beach. On the positive side, the apartment was clean with good air conditioning, the mattresses were very comfortable, and the view was beautiful

We've stayed at Tivoli in the past , and just finished a 2 week stay, to give us some long-awaited…read morerelief from a mid-Western winter. This place always does a great job, there's a big swimming pool with a broad, super-clean deck that always had lounges for everyone that wanted to take in the sun, sleep or get deep into the novel you brought on vacation. Across Beach Road is a private access to the famed Siesta Beach allowing quick access for walkers,shellers, or just carry the provided beach chair down and just sit to watch the world go by from a uniquely stress-free vantage point. The units are tasteful,and we've found can comfortably bivouac 6 grownups ( as long as they behave like grownups). Our unit had a kitchen completely equipped to prepare a Thanksgiving feast, but our culinary requirements were only what's needed for a few breakfasts, and prepping food for the barbecue out back. That BBQ area is really nice, and sometimes becomes an impromptu gathering area for guests/residents to finish the day, and converse and confer over the grills with a couple of beers . The top advantage to me, is the broad open air balcony, that begs one to sit and watch the beach, the road, and the gulf while having coffee, or watching the sunset ( a SK tradition ) before starting the evening's activities. A few of the other advantages of Tivoli are its proximity to Siesta Village , a flat half mile walk, and only a couple hundred yards to the public beach. The grounds are lovely, always immaculate, and the place has an on-site manager. This year we met Wesley, new to this manager post, but a seasoned professional of the trade, and were so impressed with how well he could navigate us through any issue when we required help. He's been a solid addition to the entire Tivoli experience. We booked the same weeks for next year on checkout, and already looking forward to another great getaway.

Gaps in wall trim, gaps in the ceiling, cracked flooring, just overall felt hastily built and not well maintained. It was fairly clean, but the shower did have not one but about 3-4 strands of someone else's hair on the walls. Almost no water pressure in the shower. The towels felt rough and were yellowed. The bed was not horrible, but the sheets could have been nicer. The pillow cases were put on the pillows inside out, making me wonder if they were really washed? Or were they just flipped? There is also a good sized couch that is comfortable and is also a pull out couch. There are extra sheets in the room for the pullout bed as well. The walls are PAPER THIN. 6am we could clearly hear the baby crying next door. We could almost make out the whole conversation of the people next to us. Something I found odd, there is no clock in the room...no alarm clock, no phone, no ice buckets (no ice machines either) No bolt lock on the entry door either. So if someone wanted to use a card to access the room they could no problem. There is a Lavazza coffee maker in the room, I personally hate these and would rather a traditional coffee pot. There is also a nice sized fridge in the room. Check in is across the street in another hotel. It was not easy to find the reservation desk either. It is located through a door in the pool area, really no signs pointing you in the right direction. We had a top floor room overlooking the pool facing the ocean. Although the trees are too tall to see the water, but you can hear it. I do really like the table and chairs outside the room. It was nice to sit and listen to the water at night. The AC in the room worked really well. It is in walking distance of a few places to eat, but not a lot of safe walking space, especially after a heavy rain. Almost every restaurant/bar near by closes at 10pm or earlier. Beach access is across the street on somewhat of a busy road with a blind corner. We did not use the pool but the pool area seemed nice. It was clean, plenty of comfortable seating. Overall not a terrible place to stay, but I do not think it was worth the $350 a night.

I only gave them them 1 star because I had to for the post. I just got off the phone with a lady…read morethat was so rude with trying to change my reservation. She argued with me about how many days I "HAD" to book, she argued with me about whether November was a low season or high season, she informed me that she doesn't even work for the condos...i guess she volunteers. And this was after leaving several voice mails and an email. I could tell by her voice when she did call me back that she was frustrated. Informed me in a hasty manner that the offices were closed until May '25 and that the property is in the process of being sold. Which to my offense...I had no idea! I just wanted to change my reservation. Then she hung up on me. When I responded via text message she told me she will not deal with rude people and that she would cancel my reservation. I guess I'm rude because I called out her nasty attitude. She refused to give me the owners name. I guess this place does not need our business which is sad. I love SK but will take my business somewhere else. I would NOT recommend Sandbox on the Beach for any future stays.

Murphy bed - probably the original bed from when the place was built. Small tiny spaces. Cheap cheap everything. This is a 2 or maybe 2.5 star location at most. Fraudulent advertising. Other 1 star review by Louis pretty much sums it up. Unfortunately we didn't see it and trusted the write up without verifying reviews. The good reviews must be by friends or family of owners. We stayed one day because it took us that long to regroup and find an alternate more appropriate lodging for the remainder of our stay. See pictures of this location. We HIGHLY recommend "The Lido Beach Resort" (that is where we ended up and within walking distance of this location). The Lido Beach Resort is truly amazing, reflects the luxury that you are paying for and without loss for the divine location. They know you are paying good money so they give you your money's worth and the restaurant at the Lido Beach Resort is very good.

Definitely the best place to rent in Sarasota!

They offered us movies to rent out because we had two small children. I did make the mistake this time and accidentally booked the studio which was entirely my fault. It comes with a parallel parking spot which is super tight and that is almost impossible to park in so unless your 007 I'd recommend trying to park on the street which can be extremely crowded, or book another cottage. They have beach umbrellas, bicycles, boogie boards etc. you can take with you to the beach which is just a few steps away. You walk over a ramp and it's there. The pool is heated and nice after a day at the beach. You also get a complimentary ticket for either two free cocktails or one appetizer at the sand bar which is not a far walk on the beach. The food could be better, but the rum buckets are where it's at. They're kinda weak so I always ask for an extra shot of rum. Now the beach. So crystal clear, so warm, just perfect. Reminded me of being in the Caribbean. There are tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance or you can rent a golf cart. We will be making our annual trips here to relax, unwind and take in the beauty that is Anna Maria.

Found half eaten tub of ice cream in drawer with a dirty spoon (hence the roaches), dishwasher does not clean and had to hand wash, stove top is broken and they charged us an additional $50 cleaning fee when we left.
