WiFi is spotty but you're on vacation and at the beach. Disconnect for a bit it won't kill you! Front desk staff was awesome anytime we had a question! We will be back. We've stayed here a few times now. Money well spent! Some of these low ratings are just laughable. People are allowed to have opinions, all I'm saying is the things being complained about are a little sad! Perfect place to lay your head at night and to relax in the pool after being by the BEACH all day in a BEACH town.

We prepaid 5 nights starting 9/23/24. Hurricane Helene was on the way so we asked if we would get a…read morerefund and they said yes, we would have to go through Expedia. Our 1st day went fine. Our 2nd day, they moved us from our beautiful gulf front room to a room upstairs so they could sand bag our original room for the hurricane. On the 3rd morning, we were told we had to mandatory evacuate. We had to scramble to find another hotel to stay at, and had to pay for those nights as well, of course. Tortuga Inn will not refund our money and Expedia says they can't refund our money because Tortuga Inn won't. My credit card company tried to help also, but Tortuga Inn waited until almost the last day they legally had to respond before the ruling would go in my favor, then said no because we "never cancelled." (We were told to leave and handed our key to a person at the office. It's been a 2 month ordeal trying to get a refund and it looks like we are screwed. I will never ever consider staying at this shady establishment again!

The place looked OK from the outside, like many other small resorts in the area. Pool area looked…read moreclean and so did the room. No front office to go to, so everything is online. Close to the beach, thinks looked good. But then, the issues started. First, we were told checkout was at 10am. I emailed the 2 emails I was given to ask if we could get late checkout, and never got a response. Then, there was 2 TV's. One in bedroom, one in living room, and 3 remotes. 2 spectrum remotes and one TV remote. Neither spectrum remote did anything so we only had one remote for both TV's. I called the after hours number at 10pm on Sat and was told they would bring me one in the morning (which means they obviously had one on hand). I told them we were checking out in the morning but said he couldn't bring it until then. In other words, he didn't want to be disturbed on a Sat night TO DO HIS JOB!!!! Second, the front door had a blind inside the pane of glass and would not go down all the way. We had 2 girls sleeping in the living room and only way to stop people from looking in was to put something against the door. Finally, there in only one wall AC unit in the entire unit which is in bedroom, which means if you have people using the pullout bed, you have to leave the bedroom door open, so privacy is out the window. Considering how much competition there is in the area and lack of service we got, doubtful we would come back or recommend this place.

Great location on a beautiful ,quiet beach ..no crowds, no fighting for chairs , just very laid back and simple. We had two rooms with kitchenettes. One room was across the road from the other which was okay but we didn't realize that when reserving. No big deal really but worth letting others know to check when booking if its across the street.The price was amazing...please don't jack it up ! Eric and the staff were very friendly and accomodating. The little beach shop has some basic items and beverages which was great. We had a great time and we would definitely come back !!

BUT you can't beat the convenience of being steps away from the beach, if that's what you're looking for, like we were. We will probably stay here again for that reason. We stayed at a very nice hotel, also by the beach, triple the price and the beach access had a gate, you have to go thru the dunes, etc. this place is literally at the beach.

As others have noted in their reviews, Ken and Jeff are constantly working to keep up this lovely family resort. It is clean and landscaped beautifully, and the rooms are just right! With a sitting area in our two bedroom, we enjoyed the recliner and couch as we watched movies in the evening. In our full kitchen, we stocked the refrigerator from the local Publix and made our breakfast and lunch, which we packed for the beach. Many guests chose to grill out as we saw when we would load up to go to a local restaurant for dinner, but we preferred eating out! On our first night at Hurricane Hanks restaurant down the road, we met up with a resident who offered us more ideas for restaurants for dinner. There's nothing like walking right out onto the beach to spend a morning watching the waves, seeing dolphins frolic, observing osprey catching their breakfast, and swimming in the water among schools of fish. Many of the guests knew each other from yearly vacations, and we have already made our reservation for next year! Anna Maria Island is quiet and family friendly. White Sands Resort offers shuffleboard and corn hole right next to the pool, but the best show is the sunset. On our first night, we were surprised to see how many lined the beach to see God's beauty, of course clapping at the end! Thank you to Ken, Jeff, Joy, and Esther for a wonderful stay. We wish you the best in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you again!

For starters it was such a lovely location, our room was directly on the beach. We had a million dollar view and front row seats for God's handywork of a fantastic sunset. Earlier we spend time in the ocean, it was warm and delighful! In the evening, we went the sort distance to Anna Marie and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The room was beautiful and inviting with king bed and magnifient bathroom. Lastly the staff was the best asset of the Inn. Ivan and Nicole were the best and demonstrated a high degree of customer service. They answered our many questions and helped us to get settled. I had made an error in booking ( be aware of the type of room you are booking from beach front to beach side). They worked very quickly to remidy my mistake. We plan to return later this summer for started.

Cross the street and you're at the beach. They have a pool and spa on site. This was our first trip to Anna Maria Island and we will definitely return. Also, the beach club gives you a 10% discount for return bookings. The only reason it didn't get five stars is because of the beds. A little tougher than we are used to sleeping on but not enough to ruin the stay. We will definitely return and I highly recommend staying here
