About this property

Pelican Perch: Tropical Paradise Cottage on the Beach VRC17-000167

  • This quaint cottage is located "on the beach" - 3007 Avenue F Unit 3 at 30th Street on beautiful Holmes Beach. It is the downstairs unit (1 of 2). The cottage is very comfortable and sleeps 4. The cottage is hidden away on a dead end street away from it all, yet close to shopping and restaurants.

    The unit has a full shower with tub plus a shared outdoor shower, spacious kitchen and a compact washer/dryer. The grounds are filled with exotic, tropical plants and a private guest path to the beautiful blue water and white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island.

    There is a free trolley that picks up throughout the day and evening located just one block away. The unit is centrally located between Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria where there are several shopping areas and many restaurants. St. Armand's Circle, Robinson Preserve, Bradenton's Riverwalk, DeSoto National Park and Ringling Museum all make for great local day trips!

    Join us at Holmes Beach for the most beautiful sunsets and experience the tradition of Old Florida.

    These are older, charming units built in the 50's that we continually update. Housekeepers clean at the beginning and end of each guest stay.

    Can't beat the gulf views and the sunsets....

    If the downstairs unit is not available, please check the upstairs unit at Vrbo #737839.

Beach Bungalow Beauty

Due to uncontrollable circumstances we arrived quite a bit before check-in but Raquel was very accommodating so we left our bags and explored the island. The ground floor unit is exactly as advertised. This is an older cottage that has a charming, beachy feel. The updated beach chairs and outdoor furniture are a nice touch. If what you are looking for is a secluded spot with perfect beach access this is the place for you

Time of our lives!!!!!

Oh man, where do I start….. We arrived and was greeted with warm welcome from Racheal, who made sure we could get in okay and welcomed us. I thought that was very thoughtful❤️ The bungalow was older style but very clean and just perfect for our week stay. Then there is a path way to lead to heaven….the ocean!!!! The beach is very clean and quite and not busy like manatee beach in Anna Marie . The only down fall is NO SHELLS!!! ( Only littles) Thanksgiving was spent relaxing after I cooked us a good meal at the beach. Sunsets were amazing the orange rays were just breathtaking. The bungalow had chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards etc. Unfortunately it is all just a memory now!!!!

Pelican Perch was the kind of beach bungalow I was looking for…steps from the beach, yet close to shopping and restaurants, well stocked with updated appliances, decor was beachy, property managers were courteous and responsible to my needs, bedding was comfy! I did not have a car but the free trolley was convenient and reliable! I will definitely be back
Neat restaurants and waterways

Beautiful view of the sea

Such a lovely location, right on the beach. Easy to get to the trolley stop or shops that were walkable distance from the unit. Loved seeing the sun set over the sea every evening and wake up and walk along the beach in the early mornings. Owner is very responsive, accommodating and helpful. Just a wonderful overall stay and would highly recommend.

Beautiful space

We absolutely loved the location of this place with nice little outside areas to relax or head right down to the beach!! Overall, the place was neat & tidy and while I'm not one to complain, the only real issue I had was the tile floor in entry could definitely use a scrubbing. We absolutely will be visiting again as the place pretty much met all of our requirements.

Great stay !

Great communication and direction to the property. It's an older place. Which was no problem for us. The price was right for an on the beach rental. After all, we spent more time on the beach than in the rental. The beach isn't overcrowded at their location either. We have a camp, so living in less than perfect conditions was not a problem. We'd stay there again !

My mom and I stayed here in August - yes it was hot, but everything was fantastic! The location is PERFECT - quiet, secluded and immediate access to the most beautiful beach I know of. I truly enjoyed my own bedroom, as I normally use a couch pull out. The AC worked beautifully, everything you could ever want was stocked in the kitchen and it was a very comfortable condo. Thanks for a fantastic vacation!
