About this property

Carefree Cottage by SeaBreeze Vacation

Colorful and inviting with a vibrant tropical style, Carefree Cottage is a perfectly-named oasis in Holmes Beach where all of your cares melt away the moment you walk through the front door. Located on a quiet residential street that offers plenty of peace and privacy yet keeps you close to the beaches and attractions, too, Carefree Cottage has three bedrooms, space for six people, and a resort-style swimming pool in the backyard which includes an all Natural Mosquito Spray System. You can stop looking for your ideal beachy hideaway— it's right here at Carefree Cottage! The well-designed split floor plan allows for plenty of space and private time, with a wide-open great room in the center for effortless socializing. In the main living area, a plush sectional sofa faces the large HDTV, so you'll have an inviting spot to watch a game or a great movie with your crew and some yummy snacks. Next to the living space is the open kitchen, where classic navy blue cabinetry and gorgeous granite countertops create a stylish and chic space to prepare some picnic snacks for your beach trip or delicious side dishes for your backyard barbecue. The full suite of premier appliances includes an electric range, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a spacious refrigerator. There's also a formal dining area with seating for six and a casual bar area with space for three more. Outside, there's a gas barbecue for grilling out.

Carefree Cottage features three serene bedroom suites that each have their own bathroom— perfect for families and friend groups that are looking for a smidge more privacy. Each of the three bedrooms has a luxurious king-size bed and an HDTV, and is decorated with colorful tropical decor, while the ensuite bathrooms feature step-in showers and marble vanities. This home was designed to take full advantage of the lovely Gulf coast weather, and the backyard pool area is the ideal spot to soak up the Florida sunshine. With a thatch-covered lanai that allows for endless poolside lounging or alfresco meal options, your group will spend most of their time out here, sipping cocktails and enjoying each other's company. In the evenings, beautiful landscape lighting sets the stage for memorable outdoor gatherings. There's a full bathroom that's accessible from the patio and even an outdoor shower— so no one has to track in dripping bathing suites or sandy toes. The Holmes Beach location of Carefree Cottage places your whole crew only one short block from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico that everyone has been daydreaming about, while also keeping you close to local shopping and delicious dining opportunities, too. Let all your cares drift away on the gentle sea breeze at Carefree Cottage.

Awesome team
Carefree Cottage is an absolute gem of a property and the Seabreeze team is awesome to work with. The outdoor area for poolside lounging or shaded TV watching is beautiful. The house was meticulously maintained and very comfortable, and the location is perfect--very short walk to the beach. We loved it so much that before we left the island we booked two more vacation stays at Carefree! Thank you Seabreeze!!

Coastal Retreat
Carefree Cottage is a beautiful and unique property. We stayed with our family for spring break and had a wonderful time. The proximity to the beach and to shops and restaurants can't be beat. We loved spending time at the house and enjoying the outside space and pool. SeaBreeze was also great about communicating and made check-in and check-out very easy.

About the host

Hosted by Seabreeze Vacation

Host profile image
What started out as a vacation for our family expanded to thousands of vacations for many families. Just a year after visiting Anna Maria Island for the first time, we bought our first vacation rental here in 2002. She kept reeling us in 6 times a year, and we moved here for good in 2011. How could we not leave the rainy days in the UK for the sunny skies on Anna Maria Island? We founded SeaBreeze Vacation with the belief that everyone deserves to enjoy a slice of paradise. Our commitment to hospitality and treating others like family led us to running 80 properties today while our dedicated staff maintains a high attention to detail. We're always working to provide the best vacation experience for guests and the highest level of care and return for our property owners.

The SeaBreeze Vacation Difference.
Unlike other vacation rental companies, we're here for you with the entire staff at SeaBreeze Vacation living here locally. Our guest services and round-the-clock maintenance readily respond to your questions and needs. Want to know how to get to secret beach spots or the best places to dine with your dog? We've got your back! Every stay includes freshly laundered, hypoallergenic linens ready to use upon arrival thanks to our in-house professional linen service. We only partner with the best companies to ensure high-quality experiences from inspections to cleaning. Our office and warehouse facility are located in the heart of Anna Maria Island on Holmes Beach to better serve both guests and owners.

Five-Star Vacation Rental Experiences.
From beachfront condos and bungalows to cottages and large homes, we have just the vacation rental for you and your loved ones — with available accommodations for pets and boats! SeaBreeze Vacation rentals welcome guests with many modern amenities, such as fully equipped kitchens for easier cooking and endless fun with entertainment options. Vacation rentals with private pools, game rooms, hot tubs, on-site bars, and rooftop terraces are the added cherries on top! You'll feel like a local when you're just steps to the soft Anna Maria Island beaches but enjoy the convenience as a guest while we take care of any hassles. Book direct with confidence — guaranteed best rates and no hidden booking or admin fees!*

Stress-Free Supplementary Services.
We happily handle the fussy matters to ensure the whole family spends more time enjoying a relaxing vacation. With our grocery pre-stocking services, you come to a home ready with refreshments after your travels. Need a crib, high chair, or pack n' play and would like to save luggage space? We provide them at an additional fee and will have them clean and waiting for you and your little one upon arrival. If you'd like to enjoy an evening with your honey, we have licensed babysitting services available on speed dial. As a fun way to access any area on Anna Maria Island, our golf cart rentals make for a real crowd pleaser! If you're in need of anything special, give us a call! We'll do our best to provide you anything and everything you may need.
