Best Little Beach House on Anna Maria Island! With a pool & steps to the beach!

This is the Best Little Beach House on Anna Maria Island...with a pool.

Make yourself at home in this welcoming 1-bedroom Holmes Beach retreat. This cozy house features a nice living room with a sofa bed, perfect for extra guests. With amenities like AC, Wi-Fi, and a washing machine, guests can unwind and enjoy a stress-free stay. Kickback, relax, and enjoy everything Holmes Beach and our house has to offer.

Our home is a completely renovated 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom home that will take your breath away! Located in Holmes Beach, it is 5 houses and a short 1 minute stroll to the beautiful white sandy Gulf of Mexico beaches.
The beach itself is quiet section due to the fact that there are no large resort / hotel / motel accommodations close by.

We are the ONLY one-bedroom private home with a pool on Anna Maria Island.
Many homes on the Island are actually duplexes where you each have your own pool but have shared interior walls.
This is a truly 'Private' home without shared walls, or a backyard separated by fencing.

The private heated pool has a waterfall, in-pool cocktail table, and bench seating. Outdoor amenities include lounge chairs, dining table, outdoor shower, front porch seating and gas barbecue.

With tropical style coastal furnishings, this home has it all, located within a short walking distance to many shops and restaurants. It is also very close to one of the free trolley stops. The bedroom includes a king bed, large flat screen TV and DVD player. The living room has a couch, love seat and a large flat screen TV with DVD player. Bathroom includes granite counter tops and a walk-in tiled shower. Bring your mobile devices as this home is equipped with Wi-Fi throughout.

We provide you with all the items you will need such as luxury bedding, bath towels, washcloths, beach towels and a fully equipped kitchen.

There are chairs, umbrellas and floats that you are welcome to bring to the beach. We also have a cart to make it easier for you to get them there :-)

There are two security cameras at the property, one at the front door and the other at the side gate facing the driveway.

This house was perfect. Immaculately clean, with lots of linens/towels and a fully appointed kitchen. We honestly couldn’t have improved on a thing. We had a minor problem with the WiFi, and the owner was immediately responsive. I highly recommend this property.

A trip so nice we did it twice

We rented this home for honeymoon and we loved it so much that we came back for our anniversary. There were some new things like a new coat of paint on the house, but for the most part everything was as perfect as the last time we were here. Location was perfectly close to everything, Jessica was easy to contact and we couldn't have been happier to stay here again. Thank you so much Jessica!

Retirement Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a place on Anna Maria for just the two of us and The Best Little Beach House was perfection!! Proximity to the private beach area was literally a 3 minute walk. Everything you need for the beach is provided. Then the great surprise of a backyard pool for lounging!! Truly this house is awesome!
