Are you looking for the perfect beach property in the middle of it all? This 4-bedroom, 4-bath, private-pool home is over 3,000 sq ft and has everything you need for an amazing family vacation! If you do not like stairs, the elevator makes moving through the three main floors a breeze. Your private-heated pool will allow you to swim whenever you want or if you prefer the beach, you are only 2 blocks away. Enjoy live music, all you can eat pancakes, and a full bar within a 5-minute walk, or enjoy a quiet evening at home with a grill and full kitchen to make whatever you would like. There are 2 fresh fish markets within a mile, a large grocery store, and great restaurants are just a short walk. Whatever you need is within walking distance or take the trolley to visit the north or south end of the Island.

When walking into the house you are greeted with a lovely front entrance to store miscellaneous items and sandy shoes. The main level of the house features a large dining room table with seating for ten and the living room features a large smart TV. The kitchen is off the main area and is fully equipped with everything needed to cook your favorite home-cooked meals! It has a table that seats four for the kids' morning cereal or so convenient to grab a quick meal before heading to the beach.

The master suite has a large private balcony for your quiet time and morning coffee. The other king bedroom on the second floor has a smaller balcony to enjoy. The balcony off the living room with a ceiling fan adds to your outside enjoyment. Make sure you visit the screened-in top-floor balcony to see the spectacular sunsets over the Gulf or for an adult hideaway.

Perfect family vacation stay
This property was perfect for our family vacation with six adults and two children. A very very easy walk to the beach, groceries and other stores, and stops for the free island trolley. The house was huge and well maintained with everything we needed and many places to spend time together. No toiletries or spices etc., but this was fine as it was communicated ahead of time. The rental company was very communicative and easy to work with. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Bad management
House was nice and great location. Pool heater broken the whole time of our 2 week stay. Hot water tank not working well either. Came a week later to replace. Hot water was scarce. Two broken lounge chairs by the pool. They did replace only one. Lost cable tv after a week. The management Anchor Down vacations was very rude to us when it came to fixing the pool. Albert who works in their office wanted to argue about getting the pool fixed for us. He was very difficult to deal with. Nice house but would not rent again because of management company.

Loved the “Pink” house!
Overall, we feel it was a great bang for our buck. Minutes away from shopping, food, and beach. Very much appreciated they had beach accessories and 2 wagons to help carry items. Would stay again for sure.

Great location for the perfect beach location
We had a family reunion at Holmes beach and some of us stayed at this location. We had plenty of room for everyone in the bedrooms and living spaces. The owner was very responsive when we reached out to him for one issue. The location is only a few blocks from the beach and an easy walk. They had beach wagons to use which helped a lot. It is also only a few blocks from the grocery store which was very nice. Overall a great stay!

Great Location
Walking distance to beach/grocery store/shopping. Wagons/beach chairs/umbrellas available for use. Plenty of towels. Beds could use new mattresses. The king in master w/ fireplace sunk in the middle. Bedding could be updated in that master as well. A/C had a hard time keeping as cool as we prefer. Grill wouldn't light, opted to use oven instead. Elevator is a bit tricky to use as well. Overall pleasant stay.

Great house
We were very happy with the size and location of the house. It was very clean and Kristi was very accessible and easy to communicate with. It had everything we needed! The only complaint we had was the lack of seating in the living room. For a house that sleeps as many people as it does, we had wished it had a big sectional or more seating in the living room. It has a small couch and two chairs so to congregate and watch tv, we had several people on the floor and even brought patio furniture inside. I still give this house 5 stars, it didn't take away from our stay....it is just a suggestion and would have been nice. But overall a GREAT property and we had a wonderful time!!

Perfect Location for a beach stay
The location was perfect. The house was super clean and a great experience for our family. We could walk to Publix, to beach restaurants, and even the public beach. There was lots of beach equipment leftover which we were able to use for easy transportation to and from with our gear. There is also a trolley stop very close to the house if you want to explore other areas of the island. They were VERY responsive and helpful when we had questions. Loved our stay.

Great house and location
House very clean. Very spacious. Pool was great to have. Close to grocery store. Due to the virus, we prepared a lot of our meals at the house instead of eating out, so more cooking preparation pans were needed. More space for dry food storage. Also, was unable to use grilll due to a broken burner pipe inside the grill. Beach was not overly crowded. People in the house behind ours were very noisy continuing into the early morning hours (2:00 - 3:00 am.)

Fantastic home and location
This place was perfect for our family. We had 4 adults (2 couples) and 3 kids. The place was plenty big enough and we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The multiple balconies also allowed everyone to have their own space if they wanted. The kids loved the pool which felt more private bc of the surrounding trees and the beach is a VERY short walk (5 minutes with a 6 yr old). It made heading over to watch the sunsets a breeze. Nicole was extremely responsive to everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommend this place.

Beautiful home, perfect location.
If this home fits your needs, and is available, get it! You will not be disappointed. We were a group of 8, (two young children) and the space worked out great. Everyone had enough space to spread out and have privacy at times they wanted. The huge dining table was great for group meals. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with. The Publix Supermarket was a 5 minute walk, along with a CVS. The beach was an easy 5 minute walk as well. That was so nice!!! You can rent chairs and umbrellas for a great day at the beach. There is a great beach cafe there where you can order food, and there is an ice cream place. The best deal was at the outside bar there. When you get a drink, they give it to you in a large plastic cup, (you will see these in the kitchen cupboard at the house). If you return with the cup, you get money off on subsequent drinks! It kept us coming back on a daily basis! The pool was nice, our grandkids loved it so much! Communication was good with Kristen and there were not surprises. The location was just perfect!

Fun Family Vacation at Holmes Beach
All the info. on the web was accurate. I had some trouble getting messages through to the owner. I think it was a tech glitch. The island is friendly. Traffic is a challenge. Places are a bit crowded. We liked fishing, kayaking, the beach and riding bikes.

All we could ask for.
Rented this property for a family vacation. Was very clean and had everything we needed. Was pretty close to the beach and had a nice pool. Was close to shopping and could ride the trolley if we wanted. Even had an elevator that we only used for luggage. Would highly recommend. Also, Anna Maria is such a neat vacation spot. Several good restaurants. We love seafood.
