The Beach House, right on Holmes Beach

The Beach House is situated on one of the quietest areas of the beautiful white sandy beach. Why not sit on the veranda with a glass of chilled wine and watch the dolphins play in the shallows, the pelicans dive and the Ibis run.

The property is very well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would need to enjoy the perfect holiday. The three bedrooms are all a good size - the master has a King bed and benefits from an en-suite shower room whilst the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms both have twin beds which can be pushed together to make King beds if preferred (this would need to be requested at the time of booking. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower.

The sitting room has a large and comfortable sofa-bed which can sleep up to 2 people.

There is off street parking for up to 3 cars at the property.

VRC16-000189 - Local City ordinance regulations require a minimum stay of 7 nights. The Beach House is situated in a residential area therefore, to ensure the neighbours are not deprived of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property, we ask you to be a considerate by keeping noise to a respectful level at all times.

Comfortable and right on the beach

I was a little hesitant to book this property because you must pay in full within 2 weeks of booking, and then there is NO refund policy. We got lucky that everything worked out well. The house was clean, and the location was ideal. There is public beach access right next to the house, so that increased foot traffic a bit right there. And there was a bit of road noise since it was near a busy part of Gulf Drive. Those golf carts are loud! It did quiet down during the night...usually. The house had everything we needed, which is so nice! Past renters left plenty of beach items in the closet under the house, which came in handy. The property manager was responsive and helpful. We would consider renting here again. It is a sweet, classic AMI house and I love that. I would like to see some sort of cancellation policy, which would reduce the anxiety of booking such an expensive property though.

Loved this little beach cottage.

We absolutely loved our time at this sweet little beach cottage. Had everything that we needed. The best part was spending each morning and evening on the front porch watching the waves crash, the birds fly and the dolphins swim. We will be back.

What a view!

This house is the perfect location for a winter getaway. It is right on the beach, the sunsets can be watched from the porch and the beach is quiet. We loved watching the dolphins. We had a lot of fun on Anna Maria. We look forward to returning.

This property was more than we expected. Ocean views were amazing. We felt so lucky to have found this gem right on the beach. I loved the decor and The home was stocked with everything you need. The furniture on balcony was ample and in great condition. I hope to be able to stay here again in the future.

Perfect beachfront location!!

The location is the best! Right on a wonderful, quiet beach. We loved the raised deck overlooking the beach/ocean. Perfect place for morning coffee and to watch the sunset in the evening. The house is great, very clean and so cute! The only thing that would make it better is new mattresses. The beds were not really comfortable.

The location is perfect. Beautiful quiet beach. Great for the grandbabies to be able to play in the sand and then we could run in for snack or whatever without the hassle of packing everything back up. Breathtaking sunsets every night.

A Perfect Getaway

The house is just as lovely as pictured and it is right on the beach. The wrap around porch has a roof which was perfect on the two rainy days of our vacation. We were still able to sit or lounge outside and read or dine while watching and hearing the ocean. On lovely days we were just steps from the beach. We loved the shower and faucet on the lower deck for cleanup after a sand beach visit. There are lots of fine restaurants close by. You can drive your own car, ride the trolley or rent a golf cart. It was a wonderful vacation and we would truly come back to this little hidden gem.

Amazing beach getaway!

I could type for hours how nice this place is. The balcony, view, and distance to the sand is just perfect. The house is very cute but honestly you'll be spending most of your time on the balcony. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it had roaches (some alive some dead), the mattresses were low quality, and sheets were stiff as a board. All easily correctable issues that should be addressed because I saw some of the same complains written in the visitor book. Constructive feedback aside I would defiantly stay here again. Overall it was wonderful.
