Freshly painted with many new furnishings, wall hangings, mirrors, rugs, and all new comforters. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath Anna Maria Island home is the perfect place to spend your family vacation or Girl’s Getaway!

Kiwi Cottage is in a fantastic central location in Holmes Beach. Choose from 4 or 5 restaurants all within a 1 minute walk. The beach is only 4 blocks away, which takes about 8 or 9 minutes to walk. By bicycle or golf cart, it is only 2 minutes away! Golf cart available by Owner per separate Rental Agreement for an extra fee.

Surrounded by palm trees and ornamental plantings, you will instantly feel like you are on vacation. We have chosen very beachy colors for all bedding, art work, and furnishings. There are several spaces to just relax and unwind.
The Heated Pool is very private and not shared. Unwind at night in the spa with your favorite beverage and gaze at the stars. Solar lighting creates a resort like ambience. The pool patio area has a Brand new surfboard bar, Weber Grill, umbrellas, chaise lounges and picnic table for your outdoor entertaining needs. A Bonus room was just added in the garage with Rattan patio sofa, new tv, and fan. Garage is not for guests' car parking. Owner’s golf cart available for an extra fee.

The fully stocked kitchen and Living Room are bright, open concept spaces, perfect for family time while preparing your favorite meals.

The unit is the left side of a High end duplex, and shares a common wall. Please be respectful of the 10:00pm town noise ordinance, so as not to disturb guests on the other side or neighboring properties.

Pool Heating- In the cooler winter months, the pool pump heater will turn off at 10pm and turn back on at 8:00am. Pumps can become damaged and burn out if the air temp is 20 degrees cooler than the pool temp. In addition , the heat pump turns off when the air temp is below 55 degrees. As such, it can take some time during the day to reach the desired temp of between 82-84 degrees. The spa reaches a max temp of 102 degrees once it is warmed up. It is not recommended to spend more than 15 minutes at a time in the spa.

Family Trip

The location is great! The beach is close along with restaurants. Our favorite restaurants were Duffy’s tavern for burgers and the Ugly Grouper for dinner. The pool area is the best with the full sun hitting the area for most of the day. The only changes I would make would be a guide book for hot tub/pool and house and places to go around it. Also the pots and pans could use updating possibly a griddle and more towels. Overall it was a great trip! ☀️

Kiwi Cottage was Amazing!

This property and owner were really wonderful. The backyard oasis was so relaxing and perfect for entertaining. We really enjoyed the pool, Jacuzzi, used the grill to make steaks, and had lots of fun hanging out there. The house is beautifully done in coastal colors and decorations, and is fully equipped with everything you would need for a beach vacation. The rooms were comfortable and we had plenty of room in the shared open area to spread out and enjoy ourselves. We loved that we were literally a 90 second walk from The Ugly Grouper restaurant, as well as a five minute walk from a market and additional restaurants and bars. It was perfect! The owner Craig was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions immediately. We will definitely return to Kiwi Cottage.

Kiwi Cottage rocks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kiwi Cottage. The property was fantastic. We really enjoyed the outdoor pool area. Craig was easy to communicate with and helped make our stay a comfortable one. The location is within walking distance of the beach and lots of great restaurants. I would suggest renting the golf cart. It was worth it! I would recommend Kiwi Cottage for anyone staying on the island!

Having the golf cart is a game changer

This was our family’s 4th time going to AMI and one of our favorite places to visit. This was our first time renting a golf cart while there and it made the trips to the beach so much easier and was great for going out for dinner or ice cream. The house was just the right size for us and the outdoor area was great. Some noise can be heard in the master from the rental next door, but wasn’t too bad since the neighbors were usually quiet. We had a couple small issues (flat bike tire), but Craig responded quickly and we were able to get everything resolved. We can’t wait to go back!
