About this property
Gulf Front Paradise - Walk Out to the Beach!
VRC16-000517
Front and center on the Gulf. Four Beach Lovers Unit 2 is a completely renovated beachfront retreat in Holmes Beach where paradise isn't a promise—it's the view from your private covered patio. Step directly onto white sand with the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico just feet away.
Why This Location Creates Lifelong Fans
Year after year, guests return to Four Beach Lovers, calling it their "happy place" and vacation tradition. They're drawn to the unbeatable combination: true beachfront access, peaceful surroundings, and the convenience of walking to shops and restaurants. Mornings begin with coffee on the patio watching dolphins. Afternoons are spent steps away on the sand. Evenings end with Gulf breezes and sunset colors painting the sky.
True Beachfront Living
Unit 2 sits front and center directly on the Gulf, offering the same unobstructed water views and spectacular sunsets as Unit 1. There's no road to cross, no boardwalk to navigate—just your patio, a few steps, and you're on one of Anna Maria Island's quietest, most beautiful stretches of sand.
Four Beach Lovers features four one-bedroom units. Units 1 and 2 are beachfront with direct gulf views, while Units 3 and 4 offer garden views at better pricing. Traveling with extended family or friends? Rent multiple units to vacation together. The property's tropical landscaping, charming gazebo with fountain, and porch swings create a welcoming island atmosphere.
Completely Renovated & Sustainably Powered
Following an extensive year-long renovation completed in late 2025, Unit 2 is brand new throughout. Every detail has been reimagined—from furnishings to fixtures. The entire property now runs on solar power, reflecting a commitment to environmental sustainability.
The renovation includes a beautifully updated kitchen with wine fridge, renovated bathroom with walk-in shower, all-new furnishings and decor, and modern technology throughout. Smart TVs in living room and bedroom, ultra-fast WiFi (up to 1 gig), and quality finishes make this Four Beach Lovers at its finest.
Sleeping & Amenities
King bed in bedroom with Smart TV, comfortable sleeper sofa in living room. Accommodates up to 4 guests. The covered patio is your outdoor living space—perfect for morning coffee, reading, or sunset happy hour. Charcoal grills available onsite. Beach chairs provided. Free shared laundry room. Linens, towels, and beach towels included.
Prime Holmes Beach Location
Holmes Beach offers the best of Anna Maria Island—quiet residential charm with convenient access. Publix is blocks away. Walgreens and shopping nearby. Free island trolley stops close by for car-free exploration.
One week minimum (City requirement). One car per unit. Not pet-friendly. WiFi up to 1 gig.
Guest Reviews
"We always stay here when we visit the island and it never disappoints."
"We stayed for the 4th time and absolutely love this place. Perfect location, steps from the sand and the shaded porch is perfect."
