AUG & SEPT SPECIALS - A Pearl of a Beach Home- pool & spa - easy walk to beach.

Tropical rear yard with private luxury heated Saltwater pool and hot tub/spa and spacious paved area plus large ground floor lanai.

Leave your troubles behind as you cross to Anna Maria and surrender to the island pace. Our beach house (a personal vacation home - not an investment property) is a light-filled retreat with beautiful furnishings, quality linens, spacious open plan living areas with 12' high ceilings and excellent indoor/outdoor flow. 3 large coastal bedrooms (king, queen and twin) with inbuilt storage, 2 modern bathrooms (1 en-suite) with huge separate showers plus a hall WC closet near the separate full-sized laundry room.

Plenty of room for all the family to chill around the free-form private pool & hot tub The special non-slip pool surface complements the 'beach access' that allows the young (and not so young) to enter into the water without any steps and starts at 2 inches deep! Our guests just love this private Oasis - please see our numerous 5* Reviews!

The tropical planting gives areas of both sun and shade and at night-time the palms are automatically lit to enhance the ambience of the backyard and pool area.

Upstairs, guests will love to use the granite finished, fully equipped kitchen with custom cabinets. Great-room opens onto generous lanai with outdoor dining.

By the pool you can enjoy the large entrance level patio, sun loungers and gas BBQ grill, wall mounted TV & ROKU services. Over-sized double garage with remote access, beach chairs, beach toys and beach cart too.

A pearl of a property within 2-3 blocks (3-4 mins walk) to the idyllic, soft, white sand of the Gulf beaches with their breathtaking sunsets, towards the north of the Island. A peaceful neighborhood only minutes walk from restaurants, bars, shops and galleries of Holmes Beach. Free Island Trolley-Bus stop is just round the corner.

Please remember:
"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."

Beautiful home close to everything
Despite being stuck indoors for a couple days due to Tropical storm Debbie, this house did not disappoint. It is exactly as described. I don’t know if you could ask for anything more. Mike and Lesley were wonderful hosts and very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend this home. If we ever come back to the area again, we would want to stay here every time.

Pearl of a Beach Home
We loved our stay here! The check in process was super easy, the property was the perfect size for our family of 5. You can walk to the beach from the property in about 8 minutes- we found a golf cart very helpful to get to the rest of the island. The kids loved the pool and it was super clean!

Vacation June 2024
Beautiful clean home- one of cleanest we have stayed at. We loved outdoor pool area. We enjoyed having access to wagon to transport supplies. Anna Maria Island wonderful. We did struggle operating TV (never figured it out but we arent real tech savvy). Would like to see some Tupperware in kitchen for leftovers. Would recommend guests renting golf cart- that made getting around a lot of fun! Would also have liked to have more washclothes- Maybe atleast 2 per person staying. Overall wonderful stay.

Just what the doctor ordered
We had a wonderful week at A Pearl of a Beach Home. The house was perfect for our family of 5. More than enough room, the pool and hot tub was where we spent most of the time. The beach was an easy walk right up the street. The most beautiful sunsets, and some of the best beaches we have ever seen. There were plenty of great restaurants close by (well everything is really close on the island). We spoke to several neighbors and locals and everyone was super friendly. Every question we had was answered almost immediately and we were extremely happy staying here and will certainly be back. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!!

Wonderful stay at Pearl of a Beach Home
We had a wonderful stay at this exceptionally clean & spacious beach home which was in a great central location on AMI. It was only a short walk to the beach and the amenities of Holmes Beach. Communication from the owners was so clear & easy - 5*. Our stay was just after Hurricane Idalia hit Florida and it was so reassuring that the owners reached out the next day to advise us that there was no damage to their beach home and that their cleaning crew and pool guy had already been over to check everything out - no disruption at all. The home had everything we needed for our vacation, lots of towels, crockery, glasses and pots 'n pans, a ping pong table and a gas BBQ grill. In the garage there were plenty of beach chairs, beach toys and 2 wagons that made taking everything to the beach so easy. The outside space is fabulous with a pool & hot tub - lots of loungers and a separate outside dining and lounging area poolside, plus a rear balcony with dining and relaxing furniture upstairs. We have stayed on AMI before and this is our favourite place by far - we will return as soon as we can. Thank you Mike & Lesley for sharing your "Pearl of a Beach Home" with us and for the personal communication before, during and after our stay.

Nice Family Vacation Property
This was our first stay here and we really enjoyed the property and location. Great communication from the owners. There were some guests in the home behind us that partied loudly and played very loud music. That put a damper on our time in the backyard for about half our stay but we adjusted as we could.

Beautiful place to stay
This house is amazing and only 2 blocks from the beach! We had my entire family (4 adults and 2 kids) which fit very comfortably in the house. On the first night the hot tub broke which was unfortunate but luckily we were still able to use the pool. Contacted the owner and it was addressed immediately but the part to fix it couldn’t come until after we left so we’re not able to use the hot tub during our stay. This did not ruin our trip though because of all the other amenities we had access to. The pool had lots of pool toys which our kids loved and then inside there was a high chair for our youngest. In the garage were plenty of beach toys, chairs, wagon, and a couple bicycles (sad we didn’t have time to use them). Overall great experience and would recommend to everyone.
