I can’t believe this is my last blog for 2021. Where did the year go?
If I had to sum it up, I would say that 2021 was way better than 2020 (even though the pandemic is still with us, thanks to Delta and now creepy Omicron. As long as I’m doling out thanks, I can’t write another word without thanking all of you who graced our rental units this year.
In a year where too many small business owners had to shut down their companies and say goodbye to their dreams, you were there for me. Some of you tried the Sandybeachvacay.com experience for the first time. Others returned for a second or third (or 4th) time to stay in my units, sit on the beach and otherwise enjoy all that Anna Maria Island and/or Ponce Inlet had to offer. To everyone that came, thank you for being my guests this year. It was truly an honor to share my places in Ponce Inlet and Anna Maria Island with you. I hope it created lasting memories for years to come.
As we enter 2022, I can only continue to promise you that I will do my very best to make your stay as wonderful as possible. We’ve got some new improvements coming. In Ponce Inlet, in addition to a new king-size bed in the main bedroom in Pat’s Paradise, we swapped out the double beds in the guest bedrooms in Sandy’s Sunrise and Bob’s Beachin Dream and Pat’s Paradise for two queen-sized beds.
I hope you love them as much as I do.
In Anna Maria Island, I’m in the middle of a gut renovation to completely modernize the 3-bedroom unit Sunset Connection that I purchased last year. Wish me luck, folks. It’s a mess right now, but come spring, this unit will be a beachside beauty to behold!
In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season – however and wherever you celebrate it. And for those snowbirds that are or will be riding out the winter in Ponce Inlet…..welcome! Christmas movies and cozy winter nights await as we get ready to ring in 2022.
Warm Regards
Sandy
