Great place and location! The pool is awesome and just a short walk to the beach.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2025
Island Girl East/West is located in Holmes Beach two blocks from the Gulf. It is 5 houses from Gulf Drive, then another short walk up 1 block to the beach. A golf cart or other means of transportation is recommended to quickly get around that area of the island. This house needs some good general maintenance, The stair boards are wobbly on the West side, there is an area on the front porch of the East side that is rotting and we were afraid someone would go through, the pool heater did not work until the pool maintenance person manually turned it on. The electrical must have taken a hit during the hurricanes as there was black duck tape holding a cover together on the outside. There is no water pressure in the master bath on the west side and the washer did not work on the East side. We feel that if this house was well maintained, it would be a prime rental but in the state that it is currently in, I cannot give it more than three stars. It should also be noted that all of the main living areas are on the second floor so when utilizing the pool area, we were constantly running up and down stairs to get drinks, snacks, stuff to grill, etc.... I would recommend setting up an outdoor pool bar area with a mini fridge and some counter space. We would love to see the property given a little TLC then I think it would be a perfect rental for adults and older children due to the stairs. Once Upon a Beach Vacation Rentals was a pleasure to deal with and addressed all concerns.
