BEACHFRONT HOUSE DIRECTLY ON SOFT SUGAR WHITE SANDS VRC19-000234

An amazing beach house literally on the soft white sands of Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. As soon as you step out of this house, your toes will sink into the beach sand as you overlook the turquoise blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. You can hear the waves crashing throughout the home, with incredible ocean views from almost every window on every floor. The house includes a private beach, giving you and your guests the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the water. If you are coming to Florida for the beach, then this is the perfect beach house for your vacation. The three-bedroom and two-bathroom home is comfortable from top to bottom. All nicely appointed dining furniture and living room furniture, to include leather couches and grand ceiling fans. The charming beach décor throughout the home creates the perfect beach vibe and a comfortable, homely feel. The kitchen provides everything a guest could need and more. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and a large kitchen island. The house also has a nice washer and dryer. The large windows offer a spectacular view of the ocean from the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Three sliding glass doors lead out to the spacious deck, equipped with a table, chairs, and a gas grill, for oceanfront meals or a glass of wine at sunset. Below deck is a private beach for you and your guests to enjoy, which connects to the main beach. The spacious master bedroom with a king-size bed overlooks the beach and ocean. Windows surround the master bedroom, giving you ocean views from every corner. A sliding glass door leads out to a private deck with lounge chairs, offering the privacy and relaxation you desire. Attached to the master bedroom is a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower featuring multiple shower heads and a bathtub with jets. Flat screen TVs are located in the main room, the master bedroom, and the queen bedroom. In addition to the master bedroom and queen bedroom, there’s the 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds. So, whether you want to sink your toes in the soft white sands on the beach or pause to watch the sunset over the tranquil Gulf of Mexico, you are only steps away. In addition, every Island attraction is located right at your fingertips. The home is located within very easy walking distance of stores, restaurants, and the free trolley, which can take you in either direction to both ends of the island. On the north end of the island, you can visit the village of Anna Maria, where two historic piers offer opportunities for fishing and dining. You can also visit shops, restaurants, galleries, a museum, and a community theater there. At Holmes Beach, you can get off the Trolley to enjoy more excellent shops and restaurants, as well as a marina, library, free community tennis courts, and several gyms open to visitors. On the south end, you will also want to explore the rest of Bradenton Beach. Historic Bridge Street was once home to the very first bridge to the mainland. Today's Cortez Bridge, just a bit to the north, is made out of sturdier stuff than the original wood structure, but the original street is still there, and it is a fun place for shopping, dining, live music, a weekly open-air market (in season), fishing, and even miniature golf! Your perfect beach vacation is ready, and it's one you will never forget. Come and experience for yourself why Anna Maria Island is considered Florida's hidden gem!

The most beautiful view, directly on the beach! Amazing master suite with porch and another porch off the main living area with the same gorgeous view. It was so nice being able to just grab a beach chair, walk just a few feet and plop down on the beach with the gorgeous ocean smack dab in front of us. The house was well equipped for us all; 6 adults from ages 25-80 years old. The location was perfect; right in the middle of the north and south end of the island so it was an easy/quick drive for fun coffee outings (North Shore Cafe) or a delicious dinner down at the Beach House, directly on the beach. But we hardly needed or wanted to leave the house and beach; from coffee during the sunrises and cocktails for sunsets, and the magical sound of the waves, we never wanted to leave. We will definitely be back! And David was incredibly helpful if we had any questions and was super kind in all communication.

Dreamy Beachfront Vacation

We recently stayed for spring break with our two boys, 8 & 11, and the place was perfectly for our whole family. The house is beautiful, and the layout worked well, with the boys each having their own room on the main living room level. The primary suite on the top floor had incredible views and we enjoyed the sound of crashing waves lulling us to sleep every night. It is also the perfect place for watching sunsets at night. The house had a number of beach chairs (6?) and an umbrella in good working order to use out on the beach right in front of the house. The house is also stocked with lots of sand toys, a couple of balls, and a boogie board in the garage tote, but no coolers, not really essential anyway since the house is right on the beach. There were also plenty of books and games/cards at the house. The kitchen was well stocked w pots/pans/keurig/coffee pot. Note: I might bring an insulated wine cup if I came again since they only had glass. The house is located right in holmes beach south of manatee beach, which made it easily accessible from the mainland / airport / etc and also very close to Publix and a strip mall w a Walgreens, dunkin and a few cute restaurants. (We had breakfast at the toasted mango cafe and recommend for breakfast.) We walked down to the public beach a few afternoons and the kids got ice cream, and often there was live music later afternoons. We loved this place and hope to come back again soon! Next time I’m renting a golf cart!

Seeing God’s glory displayed from two different balconies without even leaving the house was great! Although we did walk those FEW steps down to the water also. Hearing the water lap the shore at bedtime and walking the beach by the light of the full moon was awesome.

First visit to AMI

We were looking for a break from winter and we were not disappointed! During our stay, we needed the furnace for heat and the A/C for cooling as the temperature fluctuated. Best nights were when we could keep the house open with sounds of the waves to lull us to sleep. Great beach walking from this house.
