About this property

Getaway Retreat B · Firepit · 1 Block to Bay

2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · 1 Block to Bay · Kayak Launch · Firepit & Gas Grill · Private Sundeck · Two-Car Garage · Beach Cart & Gear · In-Unit Washer/Dryer · Tropical Yard

One block from the bay — and the bay here means a kayak launch, playground, and basketball court within easy reach of the front door. A Getaway Retreat B is the east side of the duplex — the same two-level layout and outdoor setup as Side A, with its own private sundeck, downstairs firepit and grill area, and two-car garage underneath the building.

The private sundeck is the morning spot — the right orientation for sunrise coffee before the beach day begins. The downstairs sitting area has the gas grill and firepit for the evenings. The two-car garage is underneath the building — covered parking for both vehicles, which is a genuine rarity in Holmes Beach.

Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The living room queen sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. Two full bathrooms. An in-unit washer and dryer handles the week's beach clothes. The kitchen has new appliances throughout. High-speed WiFi included.

The storage area on the ground floor has a beach cart with chairs and full beach gear — grab everything and head to the beach. The tropical yard has comfortable seating for the afternoons.

The beach is a walk from the property — the bay is one block, the Gulf beach is further. Worth knowing if beach swimming is the priority. The free AMI trolley stop is within walking distance for getting around without a car.

Pet-friendly with a $150 non-refundable fee. Parking for two vehicles in the garage.

A Getaway Retreat B requires a one-week minimum stay.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due

Overall wonderful

The only down was trying to figure out which door to enter once at the property, that wasn’t clear… and when other guests came to stay at the other duplex they took over the carport area and were quite loud but thankfully tapered off before too late.

Great Labor Day Trip

We booked 3 weeks before the trip. Hurricane came through just days before our trip and we decided to continue once we got word from hosts that it was ok to come. Home was in a great location with a quick walk to the beach. Will be back!

Great Beach Spot!

Nice, small rental. We loved you could walk to beach, restaurants and grocery store and shops. The deck is on the back of unit facing neighborhood backyards you maybe able to catch a glimpse of the sunrise on the bay. Nice grill and gas fire pit shared with other rental unit. It was great they had beach towels, wagon and chairs to use when walking to beach.

Great time!

We had a great time at this location! The property was clean and as expected. One thing for those arriving is to bring additional TP, paper towel, laundry soap, and kleenex. Also, if you plan to cook, you will need your own spices. That is not a slam at all, the property was great and we would rent again at this same location. It was nice to be close to the beach (2 blocks) and have a wagon to use.

We stayed 2 weeks and having a good mattress is a big plus for us. Unit was clean and decently stocked. Island Vacations is helpful and easy to deal with for your vacation stay.

Great Surprise!

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: When we booked this place we were looking for the cheapest place. We were pleasantly surprised that we got a full 2 bedroom place for the cost. The place was well kept and close to the beach. Everything wasteland and no overwhelming smells. There were bees by the front door and they came over to see what they could do within the hour. The amount of beach equipment was also great and for all ages. Would recommend this place and it's caretakers to anyone.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was accurately described. It looks exactly like the pictures show, the home was clean, and had everything we needed. The best feature of this property for our family was the location. It was a quick walk to the beach and to a convenience store, and a short drive to Publix.The owners provided excellent customer service and were quick to respond to any questions we had. We would love to stay here again next Memorial Day weekend, and would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. We had a great time!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week. Loved having two bedrooms and bathrooms. The property was very well maintained and clean. Location was one block from intercostal and couple blocks from the Gulf in a quieter area, which we enjoyed. Beach gear and towels to use were appreciated. Kitchen stocked minimally, but we had what we needed. A pizza pan and pot holder would have been good. Bed and bath linens nice quality. Would stay here again when in the area. Thank you!

My stay at getaway retreat unit B

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The dish washer did not clean very well. I reported the dish washer having mold issues. A repairman came the following day, he found the heating element was burned out. The washer dryer took on average 4 hours and 15 min. and to wash King size sheets, it would take 2 separate loads, not counting extra drying time. Over all I would not recommend this unit.

Nice Cozy Duplex Cabin

My stay here was short and sweet. The management texted me with information, but was never intrusive or disruptive. Check-in was very easy and hassle free. I wasn't aware that this was a duplex rental so that was a bit of a surprise. There's sufficient parking for both rentals without being cramped. The house itself could use some updating decor-wise. The closet doors were a little rusted so only one side opened. That was the only issue we encountered with the house. There was rain during our stay so we tried to clean as we went. The house is stocked with cleaning supplies (the vacuum being my favorite since we took our dog). The entire living area is on the 2nd floor so keep that in mind if you aren't able to go up stairs.

Good place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice small house that was able to fit our family of 4 plus grandparents. My husband complained a lot about the bed, I was fine with it. Kitchen could have some more drink glasses (for example, there was only one glass wine glass and one plastic wine glass), and more serving plates and pans.We found some dusty areas in the bathroom and bedroom, so they could improve the cleaning.The outside area has a nice table for lunch/dinner right by the grill and the outside shower was nice too. They had a very good beach wagon and decent beach chairs. I’m not sure about umbrellas since we always bring out canopy.Overall it was a nice place for a 4 days gateway!

A relaxing place

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: Our two families, total of 6, were all able to relax for a few days, enjoying this great location so close to the water. The upstairs condo had parking for two vehicles, and one flight up for entry. The balcony was welcome outdoor space for morning coffee. We didn’t get to enjoy either the grill or the fire pit. There were lots of nearby restaurants that tempted us. The unit was clean, more than ample linens provided, including beach towels. The beds were comfortable. Thank you for a relaxing weekend.
