About this property

Turtle Nest! New Holiday House w/ Pool, Wifi, and Access to the Beach

This comfortable and tastefully furnished vacation home was built in 2012 and offers everything you need for a relaxed vacation with your family or friends. The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed, as well as en suite bathroom with barrier-free shower. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has two single beds. All bedrooms are equipped with a large HD flat screen TV, iPod/ iPhone charging stations, ceiling fan and fitted cupboards.

The third bedroom has a DVD player and a second bathroom is located in the hallway between the two other bedrooms. Another large HD flat screen TV and a DVD player are in the generously proportioned living room.

The open kitchen is equipped with a microwave, dishwasher and side-by-side fridge etc. The dining, living and kitchen area offer enough space to comfortably host six people. There is also a high-quality washing machine and dryer available to you.

Extensive and new maps of Florida as well as divers city maps for example of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Sarasota are in the house for you. Also there is a folder with information of Anna Maria Island with helpful insider tips for activities, restaurant etc. on the Island.

This home is fully air-conditioned and barrier-free. Also in the quiet and very private outdoor area you will feel very comfortable. The private heated pool with its 33 ft length offers a bar and table which is often covered in shade. On hot days with the special available pool dishes it is not only for children a special experience to have a snack there, but also for adults. The pool area offers an outdoor shower, sun loungers and a pool box with a lot of pool equipment (i. e. pool noodles). You can prepare culinary highlights on the 4 burner gas grill and enjoy afterwards on your secluded pool patio, while your children can splash in the pool.

The beach is nearby: In approx. 300 m at the end of the quiet street is the direct beach access. The access to the beach is private and for local residents only, therefore you have a lot of space on the beach at every time of day. Beach chairs, a sunshade as well as beach towels are available. Also a beach buggy, to carry everything.

Beautiful Property
This home and property is beautiful. The pool was wonderful and I could actually get some (short) laps everyday. I wish I could say comfortable. The living room furniture was extremely uncomfortable. Not "lounge-able" for TV viewing. The bed was way too soft and high. We had a few issues that were addressed almost immediately, but no weekend service from the Island Dreams.

Get Away
We traveled with my 86-year-old dad. Having a private pool as well as private beach access was perfect! The option to go to several other beaches very close by was also a plus. No shortage of restaurants either. For our family, this was the get away that we needed!

Great place! Great location!
It was overall a terrific stay!! However, a few things need some updating/replacing. The master bed was just awful; caved into the middle and the pillows are flat as a board. In addition, the beach chairs were all rusted or close to breaking- make sure you’ve had a tetnis shot! Other than those things the place was clean, close to the beach and the pool was perfect! Would recommend for sure!

Wonderful Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and had enough room for 4-6 people. Its not a huge house, but it has everything you need and a large pool. We spent half our time outside and half inside. Short 5 min walk to the beach, and the property has all the gear you need + a beach wagon to haul it there. We cooked many meals here and the kitchen is well equipped. Highly recommend this place. Mgt was super helpful for the little things we had questions about.

Nice, but not kid friendly!
The house was pretty and clean like the pictures. Check in process was simple. The walk to the beach is a little haul, we would have someone drop us off at the entrance. We had two 10 year old girls and they were just playing in the pool, we had a lady behind the fence come over and ring the doorbell. She said the girls were being too loud! She had already called the rental company and everything. I explained to her they were two 10 year olds having fun in the pool, it had been crappy weather and we had drove 14 hours to get there. They were excited for a sunny day. I thought that was really rude. I made the girls be quieter, but this is a vacation rental, they should be able to have all the fun they want on fall break. It’s not like they are loud teens or anything. So for that reason, we will not be back!

Anna Marie Island Family Vacation
We had a wonderful week on Anna Maria Island. The home was perfect for our family of 6, and conveniently located within a 5 minute walk to the beach. The pool was great to have and we ended most of our days there. The beds were comfortable. My few suggestions for improvement would be an upgrade to the living room furniture, it was not very comfortable, and a bit overcrowded. I would also suggest a larger kitchen waste can and 2nd one for recyclables. There were also no grilling utensils which made it hard to use the grill. That being said, these are minor suggestions- because our stay was absolutely terrific!

Retirement celebration
We had a wonderful week on Anna Maria Island. The house was perfect for a family of four. The living room area is pretty small but we didn't spend much time in there. Our one suggestion would be a larger waste basket in the kitchen. There was only a small one and no place to but the recycles. The pool was wonderful! We really enjoyed it. The beach equipment was great to have and we took advantage of it. Overall we had a wonderful vacation.

Spring Break Bliss on AMI
We absolutely loved our stay at the Turtles Nest the week of 4/1-4/8. The home was perfect for our family of 5, and conveniently located within a 5 minute walk to the beach. The pool was such a perk, and our favorite place to finish out most of our afternoons. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and cart were great, and the home supplied pretty much everything we needed. The beds were comfortable too! We had an issue with the air conditioner, and someone was there within an hour to fix it. My only suggestion for improvement would be an upgrade to the living room furniture - it was not very comfortable, and a bit overcrowded (luckily, we rarely spent time inside!) Also, more wastebaskets throughout the house (there wasn't one at all in the main bathroom), and a larger one in the kitchen is needed. That being said, these are minor suggestions- because our stay (and the weather) was absolutely terrific!

Great place to explore Anna Maria Island
We had a wonderful time during our stay at Turtle's Nest. The property was very clean and in a great location to explore the area. The heated pool was a big hit with our grandchildren and we enjoyed using it every day of our stay. The unit was well supplied with beach towels, beach chairs, and toys for the beach and pool. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great beach house with everything you need!
This place has everything you need for your stay. Lots of room, I would say probably wouldn’t hurt to have a bigger couch or add an additional lounge chair if you have more then four people staying. Loved having plenty of beach chairs and beach cart to take everything to the beach. In all I have stayed in Holmes Beach now three times and wouldn’t hesitate to rent this property again. We had no real complaints.

We Love Turtle Nest
This was our first visit to Anna Maria Island, and we are already talking about going back! Turtle Nest was lovely. The beds were very comfortable, the home was clean, and the neighborhood was very quiet. The short walk to the beach was perfect for our three children (ages 11, 15, 17).
