BEACHFRONT HOUSE DIRECTLY ON SOFT SUGAR WHITE SANDS

An amazing beach house literally on the soft white sands of Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. As soon as you step out from this house your toes will sink into the beach sand as you overlook the turquoise blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. You can hear the waves of the ocean crashing throughout the home with incredible ocean views on each floor almost out every window. The house includes a private beach that gives you and your guests the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beach. If you are coming to Florida for the beach then this is the perfect beach house for your vacation. The three bedroom and two-bathroom home is comfortable from top to bottom. All brand-new dining furniture and living room furniture to include leather couches and grand ceiling fans. New charming beach décor throughout the home creates the perfect beach vibe and a comfortable homely feel. The kitchen provides everything a guest could need and more. The kitchen is a complete and full kitchen with all stainless-steel appliances, granite counter tops, and a large kitchen island. The house is also equipped with a brand-new washer and dryer. The large windows give you a spectacular view of the ocean from the kitchen, dining and living room. Three sliding glass doors lead out to the spacious deck equipped with a table, chairs and a gas grill to enjoy ocean front meals or a glass of wine at sunset. Below the deck is a private beach for you and your guests to enjoy that connects to the main beach. The spacious master bedroom with a king size bed overlooks the beach and ocean. Windows surround the master bedroom giving you ocean views from every corner. A sliding glass door leads out to a private deck with lounge chairs to give you the most privacy and relaxation you desire. Attached to the master bedroom is spacious bathroom that includes a walk-in shower equipped with multiple shower heads and a bathtub with jets. Flat screen TVs are located in the main room, the master bedroom and the queen bedroom. In addition to the master bedroom and queen bedroom, there’s the 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds. So, whether you want to sink your toes in the soft white sands on the beach, or pause to watch the sunset over the tranquilly Gulf of Mexico, you are only steps away. In addition, every Island attraction is located right at your fingertips. The home is located within very easy walking distance to the conveniences of stores and restaurants and the free trolley which can easily take you either direction to both ends of the island. On the north end of the island you can visit the village of Anna Maria, where two historic piers offer opportunities for fishing and dining. You can also visit the shops restaurants, galleries, and a museum and community theater there. At Holmes Beach, you can get off the Trolley to enjoy more excellent shops and restaurants, as well as a marina, library, free community tennis courts, and several gyms open to visitors. On the south end, you will also want to explore the rest of Bradenton Beach. Historic Bridge Street was once the location of the very first bridge to the mainland. Today's Cortez Bridge, just a bit to the north, is made out of sturdier stuff than the original wood structure, but the original street is still there, and it is a fun place for shopping, dining, live music, a weekly open-air market (in season), fishing, and even miniature golf! Your perfect beach vacation is ready and it's one you will never forget. Come and experience for yourself why Anna Maria Island is considered Florida's hidden gem!

Great stay

This property is magnificent. Steps from the beach. We woke up and had coffee on the deck overlooking the water. Location was perfect for restaurants, grocery stores. Fully stocked kitchen, new grill, and the best was the magnificent sun sets every night. We even got to see dolphins playing. Clean, spacious

Beautiful home and location

Clean and gorgeous house. So close to everything- no rental car needed! Just some quirky things we didnt like that probably dont matter. Ceiling fans dont stay on without the light on, no high chair, kitchen sink didnt turn off nicely. Truly a beautiful home and spot! Owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with!

Beautiful Beach House

Wonderful stay in great house with a great view of the ocean that was just steps away. Well furnished including everything you need for the beach! Only with the back windows were clean for a more enjoyable view, but I’m sure that is always difficult at the beach.

Perfect holiday

This is our second stay here and was even better than the first time. Such a beautiful house and the location is ideal for walking to the shops or to the local restaurants especially the beach cafe for pancakes or sunset Pina Coladas. We very much appreciated the beach chairs and beach toys. The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen has everything you might need.

Amazing house in a great location

Can't beat waking up to the ocean at your door, with white sand beaches. The location is great - right in the center of AMI, but quite and residential. Lots of shells on the beaches and overall just an amazing time.

A little bit of heaven on earth

Seeing God’s glory displayed from two different balconies without even leaving the house was great! Although we did walk those FEW steps down to the water also. Hearing the water lap the shore at bedtime and walking the beach by the light of the full moon was awesome.

First visit to AMI

We were looking for a break from winter and we were not disappointed! During our stay, we needed the furnace for heat and the A/C for cooling as the temperature fluctuated. Best nights were when we could keep the house open with sounds of the waves to lull us to sleep. Great beach walking from this house.
