Product Description

Experience the nostalgic charm and tranquil beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast from Bluegreen Vacations Resort Sixty-Six. Situated directly on the pristine, powder-soft sands of Holmes Beach on beautiful Anna Maria Island, this intimate boutique resort offers a spectacular beachfront escape. This sophisticated Studio resort room features bright, coastal-inspired decor, a functional layout, a beautifully appointed private bathroom, and a convenient, well-equipped kitchenette. Thoughtfully optimized for couples, solo beachgoers, or weekend travelers seeking elevated comfort, this unit serves as a refreshing, sun-drenched sanctuary where you can drift to sleep to the soothing sounds of the ocean.

Stepping out of your retreat reveals a welcoming, low-key paradise designed for ultimate leisure and classic relaxation. Guests can unwind by the sparkling outdoor swimming pool, melt stress away in the soothing whirlpool hot tub, or head up to the elevated ocean-front observation deck to take in panoramic views of the water.
