About our GREEN ENERGY Vacation Home:

It was completely remodeled in June 2019 - the comfortable, tastefully furnished and light-flooded vacation home provides everything needed for relaxing holidays as a couple or with the family and friends. It is a typical home on the Island, and it is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. There are no vacation rentals in the direct vicinity, all walls (interior and exterior) are insulated so that you can sleep without disturbance. The garden and pool area is hidden from view since it is a corner lot and has lots of big palms along the fences. The tropically designed garden with a pool looked after by landscapers is oriented towards the south and it is sunny all day long!
Space is available for two cars in the access area to the house and in the two car garage. The unloading of purchases is quickly and easily manageable since you can drive directly up to the entrance or in the garage and use the door to the hallway.
We used only high quality materials like oak hardwood floors, Kraftmaid Kitchen and Bathroom Vanity Cabinets, Cambria Luxury Quartz-countertops, high quality mattresses, Samsung washer and dryer, high speed internet and much more ......
The master bedroom is equipped with a KING size bed and it has a big ensuite bathroom with huge shower and a free standing tub. The second bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed and a Jack & Jill bathroom with a shower. The third bedroom has one Twin and one Twin XL and is connected to the Jack & Jill bathroom. All bedrooms have a window and all of them are equipped with a HD flat-screen TV, ceiling fans, and closets. The layout is divided into two sleeping areas which offers privacy for each guest.
The generously sized living-room is equipped with an additional large 65" HD flat-screen TV offering 125+ Channels, a portable "Beatsbydre" beat box with blue-tooth and USB, a printer and a Playstation. The open kitchen is equipped with all amenities such as microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, mixer, big fridge, etc. The breakfast nook and kitchen Island offers enough room for six persons. The Pool Table Game Room is always fun. There are several new board games (chess, Monopoly, cards...), too.
A high-quality washer and dryer (with enough detergent on site), ironing-board, and electric iron are accommodated in a separate and well insulated laundry room.
Information on the Anna Maria Island with helpful Insider tips for activities, restaurants, etc. can be obtained on the Island.
Our house is completely air-conditioned, filters are replaced frequently - every 4 weeks.
You will feel extremely relaxed in the quiet, sunny, and very private outdoor area. The large 13 X 25 FT heated pool which is 3 to 6 feet deep is big fun. The pool service checks the water quality and cleanliness once a week. The pool area is spaciously designed and it is equipped with an outdoor shower, deck chairs, 55" TV, and comfortable lounge seating under roof. On our Weber gas grill culinary highlights can be prepared and then enjoyed at the sheltered outdoor seated area while your kids continue enjoying themselves in the pool. If you are travelling with toddlers - you'll find a NUNA-crib, highchair, play-tent and tarp for the beach.
The beach is close: direct access to the beach is within a walking distance of approximately 350 feet / 90 seconds. Of course, beach chairs, sunshades, a cooler, large beach towels, and beach toys are available as well - and a cart to bring it to the beach.
Before you book this property - be aware that the City of Holmes Beach has a noise ordinance that includes quiet hours: "You are vacationing in a residential area. 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."

Unique Benefits
Many properties only have a small backyard, small parking lot and small pool. For us it was important having all of this big. Everything is new in the house! Pool has sun all day long since it is exposed to the south! Nevertheless we have only a short 90 seconds walk to the beach.
The quite local neighborhood around the house with nice people walking their dog and with a smile on their faces let us feel being a part of this community. Our backyard and pool area is very private. Even if the house is occupied by two families they' ll have enough privacy due to the big lot and floor plan. We are trying to mke our guest's stay as convenient as possible and offer toddler equipment like foldable crib (Nuna) and highchair (Stokke).
Why Kids Love It
The big pool, close to the beach, lots of beach / pool gear, ping pong table, basketball, board games ...

Year purchased: 2018
About the host: 15 years ago we fell in love with the Island. We bought our first house in 2013. Every year we enjoy the beautiful sunsets, unique restaurants and nice people. We'd love to share this little Paradise with you. This house was bought in 2018 and remodeled in 2018 and 2019, we maintain the property and replace outdated or worn out things in the house regularly. We are looking for frequent guests who love the house and the Island like we do.
We don't need to party every night and don't like crowded noisy beaches... we love to walk to the beach without using a car or we discover the Island by bike.
Why this property? The quite local neighborhood around the house with nice people walking their dog and with a smile on their faces let us feel being a part of this community. Our backyard and pool area is very private. Even if the house is occupied by two families they' ll have enough privacy due to the big lot and floor plan.

Excellent location, updated everything!
Really loved our stay here. The interior has all recently been redone, and is so clean and updated. The home is a mere 3 minute walk to the beach, and the pool at the house is fantastic. Also valued the extras they provided: dishwashing detergent, laundry supplies, toiletries, aluminum foil, hand soap- very nice touch

Absolute Perfection
Everything about our first visit to AMI was perfect. The accommodations were top notch. The house is beautifully designed and decorated. You can’t beat the proximity to the beach. Having all the things you need for the beach provided is a huge bonus. The pool and spa were incredible. When we weren’t at the beach we were in the pool. The backyard is it’s very own personal private paradise. Andy, the owner was really great as well. He was very communicative and addressed any questions or concerns we had which were very few if any. We plan on returning to AMI again and hopefully we will be able to stay at this home again because it doesn’t get any better than this.

The home made for a very relaxing vacation
It is clear Andy put a lot of thought into the comforts and amenities of the home. The home and pool area are extremely clean and furnished with everything one would need to feel at "home." Our family had a great stay at the house and enjoyed Holmes Beach very much.

Absolutely amazing!
Everything about this property was exactly as shown and described in the listing. We used the pool every day. The outdoor shower was perfect to keep from tracking sand everywhere. The layout of the home and everything provided by the owners was beyond perfect! Andy was so easy to get in touch with for any questions. The pool toys and beach gear were awesome. We all kept saying “this house is perfect “! Loved everything about it. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Amazing property!
This house is a dream and had everything we needed and more. The inside was cleaner than any rental or hotel room I've ever stayed in and the craftmanship is outstanding. The landscaping around the house is breathtaking and the pool and spa is pure luxury, like a tropical oasis. Beach access is right around the corner, but honestly we didn't want to leave the pool!!! Thanks Andy!

Wonderful Vacation Home
I've stayed at many VRBO properties and this is my first time leaving a review as it was the best rental home I've had so far. The house was spotless clean when we arrived, even more than some hotels and resorts, which is a huge bonus for a vacation during the pandemic. We definitely packed too much for our trip because the house had everything we needed to stay comfortable. The game room on the first floor was a huge hit for my kids. The backyard and pool were beautiful and relaxing and there were days we did not even feel like leaving the house. You can tell the house has been well taken care of by the owner and is well thought out. The owner was a pleasant to work with, helpful and responsive to our questions.

Awesome week in AMI!
We were a party of 5, 2 adults and 3 teen girls. This was our third year on AMI and the first time to rent a house rather than a condo. The property was everything it was advertised to be. Believe the previous reviews. The only reason we gave the location 4 stars was we personally prefer being on the southern part of the island. We did rent the girls bikes from Beach Bums but all other beach equipment was provided. We all enjoyed the pool and the girls spent one day in the pool and didn’t even go to beach. Communication with the owner was speedy! Do not hesitate to choose this property!

Awesome house close to beach
This house was everything! Super close location to the beach, the pool and hot tub were perfect and the house was clean and all upgraded! We really enjoyed our stay. The property manager was super quick to respond when we had a slight hiccup but it was fixed within a couple hours! Communication was quick. I would give 6 stars for a mini fridge by the pool area, thats the only thing that would make this place even better, and that’s asking a lot! You won’t regret staying here!

Andy is wonderful and response times are within minutes. You will not be disappointed in this house! Book fast ;) Has everything you need! Beach towels chairs and toys galore. Was upset it rained but house made up for the poor weather i actually swam in rain Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!! Will be back ASAP

Perfect family vacation
We had the perfect family vacation here! The home was beautiful and even better in person than the photos. My husband and I, our 2 children (3 & 9), and my in-laws were more than comfortable in this home for the week. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed. The pool was stunning! The beach was literally just around the corner and we zipped up there every evening for the sunsets. I will say be careful with parking if you rent a golf cart. We got a parking citation for the cart facing against traffic even though it was 100% on the property and not in the roadway at all. Other than that we had no problems at all and we look forward to staying in this home again in the future!

Fantastic!
What a great property! Bedrooms, living room and outside areas are very comfortable. Everything you could want for cooking, the beach and entertainment is there. And so close to the beach and restaurants. Andy was a joy to work with, responded to emails promptly. We are already are planning our trip back to Sunnyside!

Sunnyside is perfect!
Our stay at Sunnyside was perfect from start to finish! This home had all the amenities that we needed and allowed our family of four to spread out and not feel crammed into small gathering spaces. We enjoyed the pool/hot tub every day and the outdoor tv/lounge area was perfect! The beach is literally a 2 minute walk away and Sunnyside made it even easier by providing all of the beach-going necessities. We stayed for 2 weeks and wish we could’ve enjoyed this beautiful home even longer! The owner was very responsive to any questions that we had and we would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to AMI.

Beautiful House
We had an excellent experience last week with this rental property. The backyard with the pool and landscaping led to week of rest and relaxation. The house was clean and well maintained. This house is in an excellent location, close to the beach and numerous restaurants. Our family had an excellent vacation. I would highly recommend this house for a family with kids.

Paradise Found - no need to look further.
This is the perfect vacation home for family or friends. The home itself is gorgeous, clean and fully appointed with extraordinary attention to detail (e.g., lots of towels for pool and beach, and everything you need for a day at the beach). Not enough can be said about the pleasure of relaxing around a private pool and spa after a day at the beach. The home is strategically placed a short distance to the beach, free island trolley, restaurants, farmers markets and shopping. Andy was an extremely responsive host. We’ll be back if we can find any openings on this property’s calendar.

Amazing vacation!
This house is so beautiful and in a great location. It was a very short walk to the beach and the free trolley. I really appreciated all of the beach chairs, umbrellas, and buggy to get it all to the beach and back. The backyard is so beautiful and private. We swam everyday. I hope we can come back to this beautiful house next year!

Incredible Location and Fabulous Property
Amazing first stay on AMI. The home is located in the best location possible. Its a few blocks from the beach and right in the middle of the island, with great access to everything. It's a beautiful home, with a fantastic outdoor area. The home is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Having a beach wagon, chairs, sand toys, ect was a huge plus for us. We will definitely recommend to everyone and will be coming back, hopefully soon! One of the best homes we have ever rented on VRBO!!!

Loved our stay at the beach house
This property is finished and maintained to a very high standard and is very well equipped, especially if you have older kids. Everything was in great condition and other than very high beds, we could not fault it. We didn’t have to go out at get kitchen cupboard basics. There was even sun lotion and bug spray. Lots of space to spread out for a mixed group. Very short walk to the beach. Great outdoor area with games, bar and lounge areas with tvs. We would definitely recommend this property.

Absolute Perfection at Sunnyside
Look no further, this is THE place to stay at Anna Maria Island. This place has every amenity you could imagine, and then some you didn't think you needed but was oh so nice to have. The house was so clean and gorgeously decorated with a luxurious beach house feeling. The location to the beach was close, but the house even provided a heavy duty cart that our kids pulled loaded with all of our stuff to make the short walk easier. They provide beach chairs, Boogie boards, sand toys, umbrellas, noodles, you literally don't need to bring any of your beach stuff if you don't want to. The pool/hot tub area is amazing with not one but TWO outdoor TVs, a picnic eating area, a huge Jenga and Connect 4 set, and our kids loved the pool lights. Never thought I would need a refrigerator down by the pool but wow was I glad we had it! The kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked with things like saran wrap, aluminum foil, Tupperware, things we didn't have at other beach houses but so thankful we had here. My family loved the pool table, pop a shot and ping pong making this place the ultimate vacation beach house. The beds were the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on while on vacation, all of them had pillow toppers. The owner, Andy was very kind and responsive and great at communicating and answering my questions. Check in was very easy. I suggested to him that it would be nice to have a ceiling fan in the master bedroom, and he already has plans to install one. When we go back to Anna Maria Island we for sure plan on staying here! So glad we found this perfect beach house.

Awesome rental and amazing pool!
This was hands down the nicest rental we have stayed in! The house is even better in person. It was super clean, updated and everything was functional. The pool was our favorite part, it was amazing! We have food allergies so we cooked most of our meals there. The kitchen was fully stocked and the appliances were great. A few other things we loved about the property: the outdoor lounge area by the pool, the pool table, pop a shot, ping pong and the short distance to the beach. We can't wait to come back!

Family of 5, 8 night stay
I can't think of any negatives about this place. The location is superb - on a quiet street but close to the beach. Not all homes here have pools but this one does, along with a spa, set in beautiful tropical landscaped gardens. The house was spacious enough for a family of 5 - children aged 11 - 15. High specification finish on bathrooms, flooring, worktops etc etc. Incredibly well equipped kitchen. Separate utility room with washing machine and tumbler. Separate room for all beach stuff - provision of trolley to carry deck chairs, parasols etc. Next to the pool, lovely eating area, cooler/fridge, 2 tvs and seating. Also, great pool table, table tennis table and basketball machine. All in all, a wonderful experience. Andy was a great source of help and communicated frequently too.

Fun in the Sun at 'Sunnyside'
This was our first time at this property but we have stayed at various other houses and locations on AMI. We just loved everything about the house, the outdoor space, proximity to the beach and general location on the island. My top priorities when looking for a rental are proximity to the beach, private pool, bedroom/bathroom configuration, and large kitchen open to lounging space. This house really delivered on each of these and because of this it was my favorite rental on AMI so far! If you don't have a very large group, this is the house for you! We were two adult couples, but with the third bedroom you could accommodate one family with children Our general routine was to enjoy the beach in the first part of the day and the towels, wagon, chairs, umbrellas and cooler all made it very easy to head out and be comfortable after arriving at the beach. Everything provided was of great quality and the walk to the beach is very easy, even more so than what it looks like from the photos on the property listing. We enjoyed the pool, spa and outdoor space every afternoon. There is plenty of sun all day but also options if you want to be shaded. One thing we really loved was the landscaping as it provided plenty of privacy and a very tranquil setting. You could easily forget you were in the middle of a neighborhood. The spa was a favorite of the group and was enjoyed every day! The furniture in the covered outdoor space is great and the layout is conducive to eating, lounging and relaxing. Location in Holmes Beach to me was perfect. The southbound trolley stop was right at the end of the road and the northbound trolley was just a few blocks away which was usually a welcome walk after a dinner out. With a car or golf cart anything you could need was a very quick drive away and there were a few restaurants you could walk to if you didn't mind a bit of a walk (or Beach Bistro is very close, just on the pricier side) Home interior was updated, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was a great layout, the pool table was a lot of fun and we enjoyed some evening tv gathered on the comfy sectional. The upper porch we mostly used in the mornings and it was a nice spot to watch the activity of the neighborhood. There was plenty of comfortable seating with tables to dine or check up on your emails. The bedrooms were supe, the dedicated bath in the main bedroom was large and nicely appointed. The Jack and Jill bath was also very nicely updated.
