Step right outside onto white sand and the turquoise Gulf of Mexico at this two-bedroom Holmes Beach cottage, a beachfront escape with a private deck, incredible sunset views, and an ideal location within walking distance of restaurants and the free trolley.

This darling Gulf-front cottage is located in the heart of Holmes Beach, just a few blocks from some of the most popular restaurants on Anna Maria Island. Find stress-free parking in the two provided spaces, spend your days sunbathing and building sandcastles on the beach, and wander three blocks east to catch the free island trolley for a fun-filled day of shopping and dining. Of course, we wouldn't blame you if spend all day with a good book under the umbrella as the water shimmers beside you!

Wake up to the soft sounds of seagulls and crashing waves, whip up stacks of homemade pancakes in the kitchen, and bring your plates outside to the patio table for breakfast on the beach. Use the free WiFi to catch up with loved ones back home, and spend the afternoon cooking on the charcoal grill and watching the kaleidoscopic sunset over the Gulf.

You'll be the envy of every vacationer on Anna Maria Island. Get on island time and reserve your stay at this Holmes Beach cottage today!

Right on the beach!
We loved the location! The deck is right on the beach and was perfect for beach days. This place is great for a cottage style stay with direct beach access. Mornings and evenings on the deck were especially beautiful!

Perfect location; terrible management
The location on Ana Maria Island and proximity to the beach and water are outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that Vrbo passed me onto a giant international rental property management corporation, who I would never recommend based on this experience. They are nearly impossible to communicate with and have not taken good care of this property, which exhibits, rot, mold, and extensive wear and tear. I certainly won’t use that company in the future, and I will be less inclined to use Vrbo. I have had very good luck with another vacation rental booking platform and working directly with property owners because they take pride in said property. I hope that in the future VRBO will be more transparent with who they are representing on their platform.

Good location
If you are looking for location, this cottage has it. If you are looking for up to date, clean furniture and rust free fans and clean walls and cabinets, it might not be the place for you.

The location of this property is ideal. The deck is directly on the beach. The rental is small, but met all of our needs.
