About this house rental
Your own heated pool, a five-minute walk to the Gulf, and the whole house to yourselves in quiet Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. We are one of the few family-run homes left on the island, we answer our own messages, and so many of our guests come back year after year.
The home is a modern 2,000 sq ft beach house that sleeps 6: two king rooms, a twin room, a queen sleeper sofa, and 2.5 baths with a jet tub. A private, fenced pool with safety alarms, two decks, a grill, a full kitchen, Electrolux washer and dryer, fast 173 Mbps wifi, a 3-car garage and EV charger, and easy self check-in. Two dogs welcome, any size, and the garage is stocked with beach toys, loungers and a wagon to borrow.
Leave the car parked: it is a five-minute walk to a wide Gulf beach, and steps to the marina, shops, groceries and the Ugly Grouper. The free island trolley stops 100 steps away.
Want to be right on the sand, or planning a simpler getaway? Look up Happy Turtle, our two cute cottages 60 steps from the beach, 10 minutes away in Bradenton Beach.
* AC holds the 72-80F range. The Nest is not locked: if it reads 76, that is Eco mode after the house sat empty, and it resumes your setting on its own.
* Pool Heater is optional - please contact us for details prior to your arrival.
* TVs are streaming through Amazon Fire Sticks. You are free to use any of your subscription services, but please remember to log out after your vacation. If you are not familiar with Amazon Fire Sticks or smart TVs in general, please search online for instructions. We do not provide assistance with basic operations.

House was great, host was extremely responsive when we had questions, definitely recommend!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
This home was perfect for our family! Beach, restaurants, ice cream, sunrise, fresh seafood store, boat docks for excursions all walkable. Grocery store close too. Air conditioning worked great! The pool was perfect for cooling off. The kind owner checked on us and communicated rapidly. The home was very clean! We loved it and would definitely stay there again!

This is our 4th time in AMI.. we have stayed at different properties, all have had different things to offer. This one was ok except we did not realize that we are on top of The Ugly Grouper. Trucks unloading almost every morning to deliver supplies to the restaurant. The pool was nice.
