About this property

Four Beach Lovers 3 · Garden & Gulf · Solar · 5 Seconds to Beach

  • VRC16-000518



    1BR · 1BA · Sleeps 4 · Garden View · Solar Powered · Private Covered Patio · 2025 Renovation · King Bed · Wine Fridge · Beach Chairs Provided · Charcoal Grill · 1-Gig WiFi · 5 Seconds to Gulf



    Step onto your covered patio at Four Beach Lovers Unit 3 and the view is all tropical garden — lush landscaping, a gazebo with a softly running fountain, and porch swings in the shade. Hummingbirds visit the flowers in the morning. The sound of the Gulf is always in the background. Walk five seconds and you're on the sand.



    This is the garden side of Four Beach Lovers — quieter and more shaded than the Gulf-facing units, with its own atmosphere that a lot of guests prefer once they've experienced it. The covered patio has a four-top table and chairs, making it a natural spot for morning coffee, a leisurely breakfast, or an evening card game with the fountain running nearby.



    Unit 3 and 4 are the most intimate units in the complex — approximately 80 square feet smaller than the other units, which gives it a cozy, efficient feel that's exactly right for couples or small families who don't need space they won't use. What it doesn't lack is anything else. The 2025 renovation rebuilt everything: new kitchen with full-size appliances and dishwasher. New bathroom with a walk-in shower and modern fixtures. All new furnishings, linens, and smart TVs in the bedroom and living room. Same complete renovation as every other unit in the complex — just in a more intimate footprint.



    The king bedroom is a quiet retreat. The living room sofa sleeper handles two more guests comfortably, sleeping four in total. Fast 1-gig WiFi and a full cable package are included. The entire property runs on solar power — one of the few vacation rental complexes on Anna Maria Island that does.



    Beach chairs are stored onsite — grab them and you're on the sand in five seconds. Charcoal grills are available for beachside cookouts. A shared laundry room is on the property for all guests. Linens, towels, and beach towels are all provided.

    Four Beach Lovers has four units total. Units 1 and 2 face the Gulf directly. Units 3 and 4 offer garden views at better pricing.



    Holmes Beach is the quieter, more local part of Anna Maria Island. Publix is a couple of blocks away. Walgreens and a small shopping center are nearby. The free island trolley stops close by — explore the full length of AMI without moving your car once you've parked.



    Guests who find Unit 3 tend to come back for the garden as much as the beach. Some for three years running. Once you've had morning coffee on that patio with the fountain going and a hummingbird in the flowers, it's easy to understand why.

    Four Beach Lovers Unit 3 requires a one-week minimum stay and includes parking for one car. This property is not pet-friendly.



    Noise Ordinance: You are vacationing in a residential area, the quiet hours are 10 PM-7 AM. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.



    *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.

This place was amazing!! We come to the island every year and I would definitely say this has been our favorite. The place was really clean and had everything we needed to cook meals for the week. We enjoyed sitting outside and grilling. So amazing being right on the beach. The bed was comfortable; the shower was great. It will definitely be our 1st choice next year!

Loved Our Stay!

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: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Four Beach Lovers property. The unit was comfortable and met our needs for our vacation on Anna Maria Island. We were particularly pleased with having a king-sized bed that was comfortable and having a laundry facility right there was very helpful. The dishwasher was a bit tricky to start, though it worked just fine once we figured it out. We would definitely recommend this property.

Classic bungalow on the beach - we keep coming back!

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: Beach Lovers #3 is perfect for two people. The beach is right in your back yard! The Holmes Beach location is ideal. The quiet side street gets none of the traffic and private parking is provided. The property is very clean and decorated in a beachy welcoming way. Everything looks just like the photos online. All appliances were new and worked well. We had a rental car and it was very easy to get to restaurants and shopping areas. Next year we might try renting a golf cart! Sarasota is less than a half hour away, and we really enjoyed visiting The Ringling museum complex. We also drove to St. Pete to see The Imagine glass museum. We highly recommend both! But the best experience was relaxing on the beach with a good book and viewing the spectacular sunsets. On our last evening, we even spied 2 dolphins swimming by! A few amenities that were missing and would have been appreciated: a box of Kleenex, coffee filters for the coffee maker, (that made surprisingly GOOD coffee!), a couple extra rolls of TP, a full-length mirror. Other than that, Beach Lovers #3 has most everything needed for a wonderful beach vacation. And that’s why we booked for the third year in a row!

The host has thought of everything from beach towels, chairs, excellent laundry facility, bedding, decor, cleanliness, dishes, utensils, you name it! We enjoyed our time and hope to be back one day. Also, the pull out couch was great for our third person that joined us mid-week. Thank you Four Beach Lovers!

The check-in process was easy. There were texts with a guide about the island along with specifics for the property itself. The shared laundry facility with AC was a huge plus. We were looking for a quite part of the beach, and that's exactly what we got. Our section of the beach didn't get crowded the entire week we were there. I watched dolphins swim by while sitting on our porch one morning. It's direct access to the beach was great when the weather suddenly stopped cooperating. The Publix & Walgreens were a very short drive away, you could walk if you had to. Most of the restaurants & other activities weren't too far of a drive either. We would stay here again!!

We loved Four Beach Lovers. The location was exactly as described in the listing, and the unit was clean and comfortable. If you want to cook for yourself, the kitchen is well appointed and there are even grills provided. You literally walk out your door and onto the beach, which is uncrowded and offers beautiful sand and water. If you love sunsets and seashell hunting, this is the place for you. The property is close to restaurants, grocery stores, and locally owned shops. The host is very responsive to communications. We will definitely be back to this beach house.
