About this property

Best Little Beach House on Anna Maria Island...With a pool

*Check in / Check out - SATURDAYS ONLY*

This is the Best Little Beach House on Anna Maria Island...with a pool.
Our home is a completely renovated 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom home that will take your breath away! Located in Holmes Beach, it is 5 houses and a short 1 minute stroll to the beautiful white sandy Gulf of Mexico beaches.
The beach itself is quiet section due to the fact that there are no large resort / hotel / motel accommodations close by.

We are the ONLY one bedroom private home with a pool on Anna Maria Island.
Many homes on the Island are actually duplexes where you each have your own pool but have shared interior walls.
This is a truly 'Private' home without shared walls or a backyard separated by fencing.

The private heated pool has a waterfall, in-pool cocktail table, and bench seating. Outdoor amenities include lounge chairs, dining table, outdoor shower, front porch seating and gas barbecue.

With tropical style coastal furnishings, this home has it all, located within a short walking distance to many shops and restaurants. It is also very close to one of the free trolley stops. The bedroom includes a king bed, large flat screen TV and DVD player. The living room has a couch, love seat and a large flat screen TV with DVD player. Bathroom includes granite counter tops and a walk in tiled shower. Bring your mobile devices as this home is equipped with Wi-Fi throughout.

We provide you with all the items you will need such as luxury bedding, bath towels, washcloths, beach towels and a fully equipped kitchen.

There are chairs, umbrellas and floats that you are welcome to bring to the beach. We also have a cart to make it easier for you to get them there :-)

There are two security cameras at the property, one at the front door and the other at the side gate facing the driveway.

A Dreamy Stay

We had waited 3 years to rent this popular property. It was worth the wait. The house is simply perfect- outdoor spaces front and back ( porch & pool) extend the delightful indoors. The beach is a minute walk down the street.The hosts are exceptionally caring and accommodating.

Awesome location and sunsets

House is very well stocked and maintained. Due to the potential of hurricane Helene, property owner was in constant communication with us and kept us updated with the progress. This was our second stay at this property and location is awesome. We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Wonderful place to stay

We absolutely loved this little bungalow. Everything was perfect from the house to the pool to the communication with Carolyn. Such a close walk to the beach. Lots of little extra details that Carolyn gave us like snacks and a cute tote bag. Great location, super close to Publix and other stores. Definitely somewhere I’d stay again.

It's perfect!

It's truly perfect - in every way! This cute little beach house was ideal for two people. We loved it from front (porch with Adirondack chairs) to back (adorable backyard pool)! You could see the ocean from the driveway. : ) The owners have done a terrific job of thinking of everything you could possibly need. In my husband's words...I wouldn't change a thing! (and he is very picky about places) We would love to stay here again when we visit Anna Maria Island.

Why they chose this property

We have the same story as most of the locals on Anna Maria Island, 'we came to Anna Maria Island for a vacation and never left'. Well that was a number of years ago and we still are here. Come and enjoy our home, you will never want to leave either.

What makes this property unique

The private pool and short stroll to the beach for the beautiful Gulf view sunset make this house an ideal place for a romantic vacation or getaway. Every aspect of this house was considered when it was recently remodeled. We are the only one bedroom private home with a pool on Anna Maria Island.
