Turtle Watch: *Gulf front *Heated Pool *Spectacular Views

If your goal is to experience the best beach views that Anna Maria Island has to offer then look no further! This amazing 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom elevated home sits directly on the edge of the sands and overlooks the pristine Gulf beaches from every bedroom—not to mention the Gulf-facing private heated pool!

Sit back and relax as you get to watch the sunset from the privacy of your own living room or step out to the open-air balcony. The Master suite offers a sweeping view of the Gulf waters from its large windows designed to offer the best sights of the world-renowned beaches. The second and third bedrooms also both offer fabulous Gulf views that just can’t be beaten!

Hidden away off a quiet residential street on Holmes Beach, you are still just a short walk or bike ride away from the island’s only fully stocked grocery store, delicious local restaurants, and island boutiques. Come and get away from it all at the beautiful Turtle Watch!

Best last minute stay ever!

We had to make last minute change of plans. We are so thankful for the Sea Urchin being available. House was wonderful. Has a view of the Gulf. We loved the pool. We loved it so much we booked for next year!

Turtle Watch Easter 2025

Lovely and convenient location. The property needs updating throughout. It was clean but needs attention and some remodeling. It has a very nice layout. It was walking distance from lots of restaurants and groceries. The pool is small but had plenty of pool and beach chairs and toys.

Wonderful vacation in the beautifully decorated 3 bedroom 3 bath home with 180 degree view of the ocean. Nice porch and private pool. Plans to return next summer. Office was always available to answer questions.

Amazing Location, House Okay

You can't beat the location. We had small kids that needed to nap and go back and forth to the house so this allowed our two families to spend more time at the beach and less time hauling them back and forth. The house itself is decent. It's pretty bare bones compared to other rentals in the area and other houses we've had in the past. And the beds are terribly uncomfortable. But again, for the location itself there is a lot of value. But if you plan to hang out inside the house or don't need to be close to the beach there are probably better spots.
