Brand new home, Modern design, Close to Beaches
Hun’s property is in a terrific location on a quiet street. It is close and convenient to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. The house is all new construction, clean, and well appointed. My husband and I felt very comfortable there and had a great stay. Hun was particularly responsive the times I had to reach out to him. It would be a pleasure to stay at this property again.

Steps from the Beach! Heated Pool & Spacious Deck!
Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gretchen’s place on AMI. We had everything we needed and more at the condo! Our teens especially liked all the beach equipment and toys, the pool table, and the darts. The adults enjoyed using the bikes to explore the island. The condo is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook meals at home. The walk to the beach was easy, and the beach was beautiful everyday! We also enjoyed the proximity to many good restaurants. Publix is a short drive away for groceries. Gretchen is very attentive, answering questions prior to our visit and responding quickly to a concern we had upon move-in. The garbage disposal wasn’t working when we arrived, and Gretchen had someone out to fix it the next morning. She even gave us $50 back for our “troubles”! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for more from this Airbnb experience! Many thanks to Gretchen!

Pickleball! Pond! Private Heated Pool! Foosball

Blue Heron Cottage - Anna Maria Island
The cottage is clean and roomy. There is enough space the pull out the couch without the living room feeling cramped. Lots of linens and towels were included, as well as beach gear. The outdoor shower was nice plus too! Gustav and Jose had clear instructions on check-in and check-out and were very responsive to my questions.

2min walk to the beach/pool, BBQ/great area, RO110
We’ve stayed here the last few vacations and as always, the place never disappoints. Great location with all beach amenities you could possibly need. We unfortunately needed to evacuate from Hurricane Helene and John was gracious and concerned for our safety. The town of Redington is a family and we’re praying for their safety and quick turn around to their paradise again.

We had a great trip. The location was perfect with a nice view of the intercostal channel and an easy 5 min walk to the beach access. Quiet and peaceful for this time of the year and just what we were looking for. The apartment was big enough for the 4 of us, comfortable bedrooms and spacious living room. Our host was friendly, quick to respond and accommodating. We would certainly like to return and rent back from her. 10 and of 10

Awesome Madeira Beach Location Close To It all!!!
Stayed for a weekend and everything was perfect! The location is amazing, right next to John’s pass and Madeira Beach. Nice little condo complex, quiet and safe neighborhood. Everything was as described inside. Would go back again, very happy with our stay.

Your guide to Holmes Beach
Welcome to Holmes Beach
Holmes Beach is the center town of the three cities on the seven-mile barrier island of Anna Maria, just south of Tampa Bay. Like neighboring Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria, Holmes Beach offers the benefit of dual coasts, overlooking Tampa Bay to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. That means stunning sunsets as well as sunrises. As its name implies, the beach is the main draw here, with three miles of powder-soft white sand that rolls up from the turquoise waters of the Gulf. Beyond the shore, it becomes a playground for watersports, both motorized — jet skiing and speedboating are big here — and non motorized, including sailing and paddleboarding. From those boats, people fish, snorkel, and dive, looking for sharks, stingrays, dolphins, and manatees that inhabit the area.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Holmes Beach
You don’t earn the nickname of the Florida Suncoast without some delightful weather, and Holmes Beach’s nearly 250 days of annual sunshine provides just that. The hottest weather comes in summer, but so, too, does the rain — often in short spurts rather than day-long drenchings. Things cool off a smidge in winter, when you might need to wear a sweatshirt or light jacket. Spring and fall see plenty of sun and balmy temperatures minus the vacationing crowds. It’s also when you’ll find many of the area’s big festivals, including October’s BayFest, and November’s Symphony on the Sand. Be sure to pay extra attention to weather alerts if you’ve booked one of the area’s vacation rentals for the end of summer, when hurricane season is at its peak.
Top things to do in Holmes Beach
Holmes Beach
Everyone comes here for the beaches, and for very good reasons: they are pristine, gorgeous, and offer plenty of space to spread out. Holmes Beach spans three glorious miles, an endless buffet of white sand and blue-green saltwater. The main public beach access point at Manatee Public Beach piles on the amenities, including picnic tables, restrooms, and a concession stand.
Sarasota Bay / Barrier Islands Paddle Trails
Launch a canoe or kayak from the 63rd Street Memorial Boat Launch or Kingfish Boat Launches in Holmes Beach and head out onto some of the 75 miles of paddle trails in Manatee County. Hug the edge of the island and tour it from another angle, or skip across the bay to visit the Neal and Perico Preserves.
Egmont Key State Park
An island just to the north of Anna Maria accessible only by boat, Egmont Key State Park gives boaters from Holmes Beach a perfect spot for a day trip. This mostly wildlife refuge contains even more beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and a historic 19th-century lighthouse. Visitors can pick up shells, snorkel, fish, and bird-watch from the island.
