About this property

Beachside · Saltwater Pool & Spa · Gulf Access

VRC16-000521

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Heated Saltwater Pool · Hot Tub · Fenced Yard · Outdoor Shower · Beach Chairs & Umbrella Provided · Charcoal Grill · Gourmet Kitchen · Keyless Entry · Walk to Beach

Cross one quiet residential street and you're on the sand. That's the location advantage that makes Beachside work — west of Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach, tucked into a residential neighborhood with no traffic to navigate and no busy road between you and the Gulf.

Come home from the beach to something better than a hotel room. The heated saltwater pool and hot tub sit in a tropical, fenced backyard surrounded by swaying palms and native landscaping. A charcoal grill is poolside for cookouts. An outdoor shower handles the sand before you come inside. Beach chairs, a beach cart, and a beach umbrella are all provided — grab them on your way out and leave them when you come back.

The house itself sleeps six across three bedrooms. The master has a king bed and its own whirlpool bath — a genuine end-of-beach-day luxury. A queen bed in the second bedroom and two twins in the third handle families and groups of different configurations. The living room sofa bed covers a sixth guest comfortably.

The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for the week — full-size appliances, dishwasher, ice maker, cookware, and everything needed for meals at home. The full-size washer and dryer in the unit mean you can pack lighter and stay longer. Multiple walk-in closets give everyone room to actually unpack. Keyless entry means no key pickup, no key return — just arrive and walk in.

Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby, putting the full length of the island within easy reach without moving your car. Three parking spaces means the whole group can arrive in their own vehicles without coordinating.

Beachside requires a one-week minimum stay and accommodates up to 6 guests with parking for 3 cars. This property is not pet-friendly.

Noise Ordinance: You are vacationing in a residential area, the quiet hours are 10 PM-7 AM. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at Beachside. The house was very comfortable and clean. The furnishings and some flooring have been updated since the photos in the listing. That was a nice surprise. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal. The pool was perfect and the hot tub was awesome! The house was a 60 second stroll to the beach. Everything about this home worked for us. Would be pleased to rent it again in the future.

Lovely house, luscious backyard pool/spa

Amazing week at the house! Enjoyed and appreciated all the unlisted amenities: pool toys and beach chairs. Close walk to the beautiful beach. Even though you can hear traffic from the main road in two bedrooms, it was easy to ignore. The luscious foliage does a lot to block out the noise and maintain privacy. We would definitely come back… if the price is reasonable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the house was great, very clean, nice pool, a short walk to the best beach in the state. We had a couple of issues with the pool/spa system not working properly, but the owner took care of it. Sitting on the top floor deck is really nice. I think they need updated instructions on the TV, it took a couple days to figure it out. Even though it is on Gulf Drive, it was really not that noisy. We would definitely rent here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The homes location, layout, and pool were fantastic I was disappointed that this is a no pet rental home and the rugs and couches were covered in dog hair and there was a dog bone under the couch. I can look past that because of the house being great except for the fact the rugs in dining room and living room had a strong dog urine smell that made it hard to even sit at dining room table. The property management company was great. Recommend them and would stay in this home in future after it has a deep cleaning and replace rugs!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location for beach-goers as you can walk to beach which is about 5 houses away. Corner location on Gulf Dr. can be noisy. The TV was almost impossible to turn on due to inadequate instructions. We finally gave up and kept it on mute. A high-tech kitchen faucet had a mind of its own and nearly drove us crazy. Other than those two annoyances it was pretty much perfect. VERY well supplied -- great kitchen cookware, etc. Third full bath on pool level is great.

Busy at Beachside

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our two week stay at Beachside was wonderful in every way except for traffic noise. The house is very nicely appointed, clean and tidy. The main suite was one full floor. The house does have several stairs so that might want to be considered. The home has a nice open floor plan. The pool and jacuzzi were lovely and a great size. Our only disappointment was the traffic noise because it sits on the corner of a main road and that might not be an issue for some people. The home has close proximity to the beach so best of both worlds. It is also a short walk to shops, restaurants and groceries. I would recommend this home with a disclaimer regarding traffic noise.

Plenty of pool toys. Fantastic porch and wonderful outdoor space as well. Parking two cars is super tight but very doable. Keyless entry is a plus. Beds were all comfortable. Furniture was all nice and comfortable.Traffic was mentioned in other reviews but we didn’t find it noisy. Could be the time of year though. I’d recommend this property.

Perfect Family House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this house super last minute and we had never been to AMI before so we had no idea what to expect. The house was SO close to the beach and shops and overall close to everything we did. There was plenty of space for all of us (4 kids 8 and under and my husband and I), the kids LOVED the backyard, the house was very clean, and the host provided everything we needed for our mini vacation. It wasn’t a problem for us because our kids love noise when sleeping, but the road noise was a bit loud at night, so I could see this being a problem if you had young ones who wake up easily. Our code also didn’t work when we arrived but someone answered the emergency line right away and gave us a working code. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of beach and pool toys to use too. Wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back. Thank you!
