About this property

Holmes Sweet Holmes by SeaBreeze Vacation

Nestled in a tranquil coastal community in beautiful Holmes Beach, the aptly named Holmes Sweet Holmes is the ideal spot for your family's next escape to the shore. Featuring three blissful bedrooms and lots of communal living space, this picture-perfect home base allows everyone to have their own private time, while still keeping everyone close as well. Located near the beach and lots of local activities and featuring a large community swimming pool too, Holmes Sweet Holmes is simply the ideal family oasis.

The main level living space is airy and open, featuring a wall of glass doors that allow plenty of bright Florida sunshine inside. Luxurious leather sofas sit on bleached wood flooring and face the large HDTV, while lots of dramatic, coastal-inspired artwork adds an elegant style to the space. The glass door leads outside to a generous screened-in porch, where you'll want to sit while sipping your morning mug of coffee or frozen happy hour margarita and enjoying the sea breezes. A pass-through bar area with seating for four leads into the open kitchen— a chef-worthy space with bright white cabinetry and high-end, stainless steel appliances. Overhead, glass-front cabinets house sparkling glassware and dishware, while the gleaming quartz countertops provide plenty of workspace. The chef in your group will love the electric range, large refrigerator, overhead microwave, and efficient dishwasher. There's also a drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig. Next to the kitchen is the formal dining area with an oval, glass-topped table that seats six. This main level also includes a convenient powder room and a laundry nook with a washer and dryer.

Each of the three bedrooms is located on the top level. In the primary bedroom suite, a super-comfy king-size bed faces a mounted HDTV— perfect for watching movies in bed. The ensuite primary bathroom features a glass-enclosed shower with a bench and a marble-topped vanity sink. In the second bedroom, there's a queen-size bed, HDTV, and a large closet, while the third bedroom includes a fun twin-over-full-size bunk bed and an HDTV. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is easily accessible from the hallway.

Although the interior of Holmes Sweet Holmes is gorgeous and relaxing, chances are you'll spend most of your Holmes Beach vacation outside enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. The sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico are a short two-minute stroll away, and the sparkling-blue community swimming pool is right outside your back door. Holmes Beach also offers guests a wealth of outdoor extras— including tennis courts, basketball courts, a boat launch, and a kid's play area— that are all nearby. With all of these amenities at your fingertips, It's easy to see why Holmes Sweet Home is the ideal home base in Holmes Beach.

Wonderful Home & Excellent Communication
The house we rented was wonderful and fully equipped. They had everything you needed to grill and cook at home. They also had great starter toiletries and other kitchen and bathroom essentials. The communication with Seabreeze was excellent. They kept us informed throughout the week and were very responsive to any question we asked. We had an amazing vacation.

Great home away from home
Such a fun place to share with family. Kitchen is well supplied with all you will need to entertain. Pool is 60 steps from the bottom step! Great location - close to beach, shopping and restaurants. Only problem - we tried to book for next year while we were there and it was unavailable 😥

A wonderful place to stay!
Wonderful place to stay . All the amenities you need . The condo was spotless and comfortable. The beach just minutes walk. So close to restaurants and entertainment. If your picky about where to stay you won't go wrong with Holmes Sweet Holmes. This is our second year visiting AMI and will come back and stay again.

Mixed experience
If I could I would give this property a 3.5 because 3 seems harsh but 4 seems too high. The house has high-end kitchen and baths, full size washer/dryer, keurig machine on top of drip coffee machine so that was good but it was just not stocked with stuff you usually find. The kitchen had utensils but usually other guests leave behind staples like napkins etc. but the cupboards were bare. For example, we had to buy our own ziploc sandwich bags and tissues. Above all I cannot overlook the master bed, which was so very hard it was difficult to sleep well. I realize some people prefer firm mattresses but this was downright uncomfortable. I highly recommend the owner buy a new mattress or invest in a foam topper that guests can use. In addition, I was disappointed with the cleaning service. There was sticky stuff on the top shelf of the fridge and the bottom of the recycle bin in the kitchen and the unit was dusty because our allergies immediately started up when we checked in. Also, the dishwasher drain needs to be cleaned out. It smelled awful and didn't clean effectively. There were maintenance issues too. The worst was that the AC would not cool beyond 78 degrees and the weather in July is 99 to 108 real feel so that made for an awful first night of sleep. Luckily Seabreeze Vacation Rentals management company were super responsive. They sent two technicians in 24 hours until the issue was fixed. Thank you!! They also sent over a new beach umbrella when we informed that the one included in this property was broken. However, they never did send back the maintenance guy to add a magnet to the bathroom farm door in the master bedroom so that it would stay closed. I also didn't bother emailing about the ceiling fan in my son's room not working or the lamp beside the master bed not turning on. It was just too much to keep emailing and asking for support and I didn't want to keep complaining. The house itself is spacious and nicely furnished. We loved the comfy couch in the living room with 4 seats that pull out with foot rests. I wish the screened in porch had a couch rather than a bar so I could sit out there more comfortably. The walk to the beach was not horrible. It was 5 blocks and about 7 to 10 minutes. I would recommend renting this house NOT in the summer. With a real feel of 108 in July that short walk seemed exhausting so I would say it is just a bit too far in the daytime heat, the evening walks were perfect though.

Our family had a great time staying in this beautiful house
We visited Anna Maria Island with the family and had a great time staying in this beautiful house. The property is spacious, nicely decorated, clean and very well equipped. It is nested in what seems to be a tropical forest surrounded by natural beauty. It is also very close to the beach and restaurants. We suggest renting a golf cart to go around the island, which is beautiful and long 7 mile long. The property management company, Seabreeze, was excellent. Their staff were very attentive and responsive to all our needs. We highly recommend this house and we will sure come back again.

Beautiful, spacious condo short walk from beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Holmes Sweet Holmes. They had all the beach toys and chairs we needed and a wagon to carry them in as well as everything you would ever want or need to cook meals. The walk to the beach was about 5-10 minutes. It was fun to see the whole neighborhood walking down to watch the sunset each night. The condo is also close to fun restaurants. Freckled Fin and Ugly Grouper are both walking distance from the condo. The rental company was very responsive and helpful when we realized that we’d left important items in the condo after check out and they mailed them back to us. We had a great time and would stay here again.

How could we not leave the rainy days in the UK for the sunny skies on Anna Maria Island? We founded SeaBreeze Vacation with the belief that everyone deserves to enjoy a slice of paradise. Our commitment to hospitality and treating others like family led us to running 80 properties today while our dedicated staff maintains a high attention to detail.
