White Sands Beach Resort - Anna Maria Island

Every unit — motel rooms up to two-bedroom apartments — comes with a fully equipped kitchen, and the property sits directly on the Gulf at Holmes Beach with a heated pool facing the water. Sea turtles nest on this stretch in summer, and the place runs old-school: shuffleboard, grills, weekly bookings. Guests reward the formula at 4.8.

May through October puts nesting sea turtles on the beach out front; winter has the heated pool.

'Gulf-front' and 'gulf view' are different unit categories here — specify gulf-front when booking if being on the water matters.
