About this property

Beautiful, Gulf-Front Home on Bean Point--Halcyon House

As seen in Coastal Living Magazine, this is a quintessential, beachfront home on desirable Bean Point with with direct access to Bean Point Beach. You will enjoy panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico from your two balconies. The house has a charming, cottage-style decor with an open floor plan. The living level has a full size, modern kitchen, a dining area, a half bath and a great room that opens up to a generous balcony for enjoying the breath-taking sunsets over the Gulf. Halcyon, which means calm, peaceful, and tranquil, is exactly how you will feel during your stay at my house.

For the safety and security of our guests and property, there are exterior security cameras that record both audio and video.

My family had a wonderful experience staying at Halcyon House. The house was very clean, beautiful, charming and comfortable in every way. We were steps from the beach and the sunsets from either the beach or the balconies were amazing. Kelly was a responsive host. We can't wait to come back next year.

I’m picky on cleanliness and was very happy with this house. Easy walk to the beach with kids and we loved riding a golf cart around town. FYI-The house next door is under construction and one a few houses down. We were there mostly during the weekend and during the day weren’t at the house much so it wasn’t a big deal for us. The mornings and evening were quiet.

Beautiful setting. Main living area with terrific views. Seating very comfortable. Large dining table. Outdoor decks are roomy. Lots of passersby using public beach access through the back of the property but didn’t bother us as people watching was fun and folks very friendly. We had an issue with a leaking shower but our property manager Kelly offered to get it addressed right away. Big garage with bikes and lots of floats and beach gear easily accessible. Beach here was stunning

What a magical place! I will forever dream of those views! We called the path leading to the beach, the path to the heavens! The house has a very tasteful coastal comfortable feel, with lots of seating, comfortable beds and lovely art all over. Honestly, you will adore this place and need to return!! We loved it!

This year was my ninth February spent at Halcyon House, a destination that has begun to feel like "coming home." The house has been beautifully maintained, and Kelly is consistently the ultimate host: available, responsive, and attuned to details that have made me sorry to leave and eager to return. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the linens (sheets and towels) pristine, and the heating/cooling system state of the art. And the views--always spectacular. I'm looking forward to year ten!

The view from this house can’t be beat! Being able to walk right out to the beach was fantastic. We enjoyed all of the beach amenities that were provided as well. It was so nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas available to us! We even enjoyed the sand toys! Sitting on the back deck enjoying a cocktail at sunset was a 5 star experience!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly French

Host profile image
I first sunk my toes into the soft AMI sand in 2013 and immediately knew this is where I was meant to be. The following year, I purchased my beach house overlooking the Gulf on beautiful Bean Point (Halcyon House.) While I enjoy making memories at my house with family and friends, it also brings be great joy opening it up to others to enjoy. In 2019 I decided to make the island my permanent home.

Why they chose this property

My house is on the desirable north end of the 7 mile island within walking distance of Anna Maria's unique shops and numerous restaurants. It is a quiet, residential area on what I believe is the most beautiful beach in the world.
