Perfect place for being on the beach. 100 yds from there and a great place for staying in and cooking out while being near the water. Fully furnished and will definitely be back next time we come down to the area.
Love this property, very clean, well stocked and is a great location on the island. Property manager is responsive to all questions and issues ( although there were not many issues). Will definitely stare here again.
This was 2nd time at this location. The property is lovely and well maintained. It is across the street the beach. Very accessible to the trolley and supermarket. Definitely going back
We had a great experience, starting with an early check-in. The house was very homey and comfortable, as well as the beds too. The kitchen was well equipped and there was an awesome washer and dryer! The upstairs neighbor was very friendly and stopped to visit almost ever day. We had an amazing week!
Everything about the property is great minus the dishwasher. Doesn’t clean great, better to hand wash everything. Could have used a few more rolls of TP too. 4 rolls for a week with an entire family was not quite enough.
This was my family’s second time visiting AMI and staying at this property. As before, the house was very clean and nicely stocked with all the amenities of home - including the wagon, umbrella and chairs for the beach! We have two kids under the age of 10 and the location is perfect being directly across the street to the beach and AMI’s beautiful sunsets. The only downfall this time was our internet service. We lost connectivity many times during our stay which made watching the streaming television difficult at times. However, the information provided in the house did warn of this but just wasn’t my experience during our last visit in March of 2022. Overall, it was a a wonderful visit and we are looking forward to visiting again real soon!
This charming house is steps from the beach access. You can see the clear blue water from the living room. The decor is so cute and had everything we needed for our family of six. We enjoyed the central location on the island so we could explore Pine Ave. and Bridge street. Host responded immediately when I had a simple question. We will be back!
From pre-arrival communication to our stay in this beautiful beach cottage, our vacation with family was perfect! Such a quiet spot, and just a few steps away from the gorgeous beach made this the perfect choice for us! Thank you for making our Anna Maria Island experience a wonderful memory!
This house was perfect for us! The owner was great with communication and quickly responded to our minor issue. The location can’t be beat. Literally a few steps away from the gorgeous beach which hardly had people on it. It was cutely decorated and had everything we needed including beach umbrella and chairs. The trolley stop wasn’t far either which gave us the opportunity to go to dinner without having to drive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Thanks Chris!
Our family of six had a wonderful time during our first trip to Holmes Beach. The property, Gulfpath, fit our needs perfectly. It was right across from the beach, making it so easy to access the beach and to carry all the beach "stuff". The house was spotless inside, had all kitchen and beach equipment and was decorated in a fresh, beach style. It made us truly feel at home while on vacation. Our communications with the manager and owner received quick and friendly responses.. The island and beaches are lovely and so easy to get around--we rented a golf cart which was easy and fun. Anna Maria is a quaint island but still has the convinces of CVS and Publix. We hope to return to Gulfpath and Holmes Beach again!
Perfect beach vacation for our family. The home was clean and comfortable, and very nicely decorated. Less than 100 steps to a beautiful beach. Chris was more than helpful with the check in process and any questions we had. We will be back for sure!
We had a great 5 night stay. The property was well maintained and everything was new and nice included the appliances and the beds. The walk to the beach was very cool through a little trail. We rented a golf cart and drove it everywhere. Communication with the owner was easy. We will be coming back asap.
This was the perfect setting for our low-key girls' trip! The home was beautiful and cozy; the beach was just steps away and private; and our host was personable and helpful!
Our stay at the condo was nothing short of wonderful! The condo itself was nicely decorated and stocked with all the essentials and comforts of home. In addition, the location was a huge plus! We have two kids ages 9 and 5 and having the beach across the street was super convenient for us. The condo was nicely equipped with all the essential beach gear and even some toys for the kids! We will definitely be visiting again soon!!
This property could not have been better! Every square inch of the house was beautifully designed! Seeing the ocean from the table and chairs on the patio was such a delightful surprise! We would definitely stay here again!
We would go back!!
Clean! Comfortable beds! Kitchen had everything we needed. Tastefully decorated condo.
Very close to the quiet beach.
Safe, friendly neighborhood.
Great place on Anna Maria Island!!
We loved this house. It was updated, super cute and clean, and a 2 second walk to the beach. It was a lovely neighborhood and we were able to ride bikes into town. The beds were very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
We had an incredible time at this beautiful property! The location and beach view were spectacular. The property was very clean and well taken care of. It is decorated perfectly for a beach get away! Only a few blocks from the island Publix and drug stores, and a quick drive to anywhere on the island! We look forward to returning.
