Loved it!

We rented this property for Spring Break 2022. There are two master bedrooms with full baths, which was perfect for two couples. Plenty of space for kids or other guests as well. The house is spacious and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook or grill. The elevator was convenient to bring our luggage up and down. We rented a golf cart and never even needed our rental car once we got to the house. The location is perfectly central, in between all of the touristy areas, very close to the beach (a few minutes walk), but in a quiet area. Even though the house backs up to a main road, we didn't notice the traffic noise at all. The pool area is well-maintained, very pretty and relaxing after a day at the beach. The owner is SO sweet and quick to respond. There was no question she truly wanted us to enjoy our stay, and we did!

Spring Break on Anna Maria Island

We shared the home with another family and it was a wonderful experience. Plenty of room for both families! House is very clean, in great shape and exactly as described online. The owner (Celine) is very responsive and great. The location is very close to beach, stores and restaurants (can walk to stores and several nearby restaurants). We hope to return some day!

Great Holmes Beach rental

The house was clean and well equipped. The location was a quick walk to Holmes beach. The elevator was a nice feature to bring items into the home. Although the weather was cold during the week the heated pool was warm enough to swim. Overall a great experience.

About the host

Host profile image
We're a family of four who absolutely loves to travel, so we understand precisely what makes for an unforgettable vacation. I'm Celine, and I'll be your host during your stay. My husband Giscard and I are both French from the Acadian coast of New Brunswick, Canada where we reside with our two wonderful sons Luka and Xavier.

We purchased our stunning dream home on Anna Maria Island because it's our favorite vacation spot. With the demands of our hectic jobs and lively sons, we wanted a place where we could create lasting family memories.

For leisure, we love to go boating, fishing, and golfing, as well as explore the hidden gems of popular vacation destinations. We also enjoy relaxing with a delicious glass of wine, locally crafted beer, and excellent cuisine.

As a family of travelers, we understand exactly what you're looking for in a peaceful yet unforgettable vacation. We take great pride in our rental properties and always ensure that our guests have a remarkable stay. We sincerely hope that you enjoy our vacation home as much as we do!
