About this property

Pelican Perch: Tropical Paradise Cottage on the Beach VRC17-000167

This quaint cottage is located "on the beach" - 3007 Avenue F Unit 3 at 30th Street on beautiful Holmes Beach. It is the downstairs unit (1 of 2). The cottage is very comfortable and sleeps 4. The cottage is hidden away on a dead end street away from it all, yet close to shopping and restaurants.

The unit has a full shower with tub plus a shared outdoor shower, spacious kitchen and a compact washer/dryer. The grounds are filled with exotic, tropical plants and a private guest path to the beautiful blue water and white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island.

There is a free trolley that picks up throughout the day and evening located just one block away. The unit is centrally located between Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria where there are several shopping areas and many restaurants. St. Armand's Circle, Robinson Preserve, Bradenton's Riverwalk, DeSoto National Park and Ringling Museum all make for great local day trips!

Join us at Holmes Beach for the most beautiful sunsets and experience the tradition of Old Florida.

These are older, charming units built in the 50's that we continually update. Housekeepers clean at the beginning and end of each guest stay.

Can't beat the gulf views and the sunsets....

If the downstairs unit is not available, please check the upstairs unit at Vrbo #737839.

My husband and I stayed at your property for seven days in May 2026 and we had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were comfortable, and the beachfront location was perfect. We especially appreciated the availability of beach items, which we found incredibly helpful.The neighborhood was quiet yet conveniently located near local attractions, and the check-in process was seamless. We would absolutely stay here again and will highly recommend your property to others.The Garrisons

I FOUND AN EMPTY HALF GALLON MILK JUG UNDER COFFEE TABLE, 2 ROACHES WERE FORUND ALIVE, A/C'S DID NOT WORK EFFICIENTLY, NO ICE MAKER

Response from VrboOwner on 16 June 2026
Guests are encouraged to contact the property managers who live nearby on the island if they discover any issues during their stay. Issues will be addressed immediately. Ice maker is not advertised on listing and ice trays are provided. Leaving exterior doors open will cause the AC to have difficulty keeping up and allow live palmetto bugs inside the property. Milk jug claim is unlikely since the table was moved to vacuum the rug and the previous guests left the unit in excellent condition.

Pelican Perch was the kind of beach bungalow I was looking for…steps from the beach, yet close to shopping and restaurants, well stocked with updated appliances, decor was beachy, property managers were courteous and responsible to my needs, bedding was comfy! I did not have a car but the free trolley was convenient and reliable! I will definitely be back

our only bad experience was the bathroom, no grab bars in the bathtub as we were elderly people in our 80s. It was hard getting in the tub. Also, the sink was very slow. We told Dan about it and he was going to have somebody come and fix it but nobody ever showed. The view and the beach were absolutely wonderful.

Beautiful view of the sea

Such a lovely location, right on the beach. Easy to get to the trolley stop or shops that were walkable distance from the unit. Loved seeing the sun set over the sea every evening and wake up and walk along the beach in the early mornings. Owner is very responsive, accommodating and helpful. Just a wonderful overall stay and would highly recommend.

A bit retro, immaculately clean, and about a 50 ft walk to the beach. Met by the property mgr as we arrived, gave us the tour of the place and shared info about the island. We planning to return for another stay.

Beautiful space

We absolutely loved the location of this place with nice little outside areas to relax or head right down to the beach!! Overall, the place was neat & tidy and while I'm not one to complain, the only real issue I had was the tile floor in entry could definitely use a scrubbing. We absolutely will be visiting again as the place pretty much met all of our requirements.

Beach Bungalow Beauty

Due to uncontrollable circumstances we arrived quite a bit before check-in but Raquel was very accommodating so we left our bags and explored the island. The ground floor unit is exactly as advertised. This is an older cottage that has a charming, beachy feel. The updated beach chairs and outdoor furniture are a nice touch. If what you are looking for is a secluded spot with perfect beach access this is the place for you

Great stay !

Great communication and direction to the property. It's an older place. Which was no problem for us. The price was right for an on the beach rental. After all, we spent more time on the beach than in the rental. The beach isn't overcrowded at their location either. We have a camp, so living in less than perfect conditions was not a problem. We'd stay there again !

About the host

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this unit due to the fact it was located directly on the beach and it was a small condo unit of 2. It was also a short distance from where we live and allowed us to get out of the city and relax. Holmes Beach is absolutely beautiful all year round.

What makes this property unique

We love relaxing on the beach and watching the evening sunsets. Mornings are usually filled with walks on the beach and collecting shells. We also love taking the trolley to Anna Maria island for dinner and shopping.
