About this property

Home Sweet Holmes | Private Pool, Pet-Friendly, Steps to Beach on AMI

Step into your own secluded slice of paradise where the ocean breeze whispers “relax,” and every detail invites you to unwind. Welcome to Home Sweet Holmes—a spacious, private duplex just 1.5 blocks from the pristine shores of Anna Maria Island.

This exclusive retreat offers the best of both worlds: two fully appointed units combined into one generous, private escape. No shared spaces. No compromises. Just you, your guests, and the comfort of an entire island oasis to yourselves. Perfect for extended families, multi-generational vacations, or groups of friends traveling together, Home Sweet Holmes blends beachy charm with the ease of modern coastal living.

Inside, you'll find two distinct yet harmonious living areas, each featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering flexibility, space, and privacy under one roof. The interiors are bathed in natural light and styled with a casual island elegance—from open-concept living areas perfect for connection and laughter, to two fully equipped kitchens with modern appliances and everything you need to cook, entertain, or unwind. Enjoy your morning coffee on the shaded front porch, and end your day with a drink on the upstairs balcony as the sky glows with sunset.

Outside is where the magic of Home Sweet Holmes truly comes alive. The heated private pool is all yours—no other guests, no shared access. Spend your days floating under swaying palms, lounging poolside in total tranquility, or gathering for a meal around the outdoor dining area. The BBQ grill is ready for cookouts, and there's plenty of space to eat, sip, and savor in the fresh island air. Best of all, the property is pet-friendly, so your four-legged family members can enjoy the island escape, too.

Location is everything, and here you're just a short walk to the beach and even closer to the heart of Holmes Beach. Wake up to beach walks, spend afternoons kayaking or biking, and end the day with fresh seafood, local shopping, or live music at a nearby beachfront bar. From sunrise to stargazing, every moment at Home Sweet Holmes is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and truly live the island life.
