The Lighthouse in Holmes Beach is a large comfortable interesting home with everything you may need for your vacation. The beds were excellent! It was a very easy walk to the beach and there was also parking available there if you prefer to drive. The owner of the home was wonderful to work with and we would happily rent here again. No need to look further, this is the place!

We really enjoyed our week on the island and in this great vacation home! The Lighthouse was clean and comfortable! Even though it is located on one of the main streets, the landscaping and foliage makes it seem quite cozy. The owners were very thoughtful and made the stay very special.

The Lighthouse is an absolutely fantastic property; and truly gives a home from home experience. It is beautifully finished and the interior is very quirky and fun. The beach is very close although the pool area at the house meant we rarely left!

Great House, very well equipped - only a short walk to the beach, with a neat pool to cool off in the afternoon sun. Thinking of Anna Maria Island then the lighthouse would be a first class base

We enjoyed our stay, House was close to Trolley stop. Thought the beach would be closer & would have a better view of the ocean

We had a great time in the lighthouse. It was ideal for our week stay and the property provided everything we needed from relaxing at the pool to beach gear and a fully equipped kitchen. Valerie was great to deal with and made our stay very easy. Can't wait to go back and stay here again.

Our family truly enjoyed this home . The owners attention to detail and festive arrangement was incredible. The house was more of a beautiful peice of art and was very comfortable to stay.

We'd watched The Lighthouse being built and stayed in the owners rentals before and loved them so we were thrilled to be one of the first to get the chance to stay here. It's fabulous, like being in a movie and on the trolley route when you don't fancy driving. Can't recommend this highly enough , and great value too.

10/10

Beautifully decorated and extremely clean when we arrived. Valerie and Richard were there when we arrived and made sure we were all set. Gave us recommendations on places to eat. We’re already planning on our next visit.

The light house was a great spot for our family vacation. The kids loved the lighthouse and mom and dad loved the quality finishes and amenities. Not your typical stark rental. The place has a ton of personality and was extremely comfortable for our family of 4. The kids loved the pool and the walk to the beach was not too far. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely consider renting this property again.

The Lighthouse is fun and kitschy with model boats and JFK memorabilia throughout, my 3 year old son loved it and the small heated pool. It was equipped with everything needed. Overall, we did enjoy our time.

10/10

The Lighthouse was so much fun for our family! There was plenty of space for our 4 girls. Valerie and her husband were so helpful and accommodating. Having the beach toys and supplies were very helpful! The home was also in a great location...not too far from Pine St or Manatee Beach! Can't wait to visit AMI once again!!

10/10

This beautiful lighthouse property was perfect in every way. We really, really enjoyed all the decor, not a detail was missed! The home is very clean and this was such a very well kept property, great location. We especially enjoyed being able to walk to the beach. It was such a convenient bonus to have the beach carts, chairs and toys. It was very, very pleasant to work with the owner. We will definitely be back to Anna Maria Island and would absolutely stay at any of her properties again!!

We had a wonderful time at the Lighthouse. It was perfect for our family and our boys loved the fun of staying in a light house. Having our own pool was great when we wanted some relaxing time off the beach and enjoyed beautiful sunset views from the look out at the top. The house had everything we needed including beach gear and kitchen items. Valerie was wonderful to work with; very responsive to anything we needed. We loved our stay at the Lighthouse and hope to return again!

Stayed at the lighthouse and what a house! It was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay.The pool was such a welcome in the evenings. Loved the decor and the spiral staircase. Everything you basically need was provided, even the beach chairs! Close to the Trolley and some great eating establishments. We even got to go see the manatees and video taped them, it was awesome! Thank you so much Valerie for allowing us to enjoy your home! We hope to visit again and would love to spend our time at the lighthouse!

We spent a week on AMI. My daughter son-in law and two grandchildren loved our stay at the Lighthouse. We were close to the beach and restaurants. Donuts made to order in the morning were a real treat. The house was beautiful and very unique. Everything was top notch! We enjoyed grilling while the kids splashed in the pool. I loved walking out on the balcony at the top of the tower and feeling the breeze from the Gulf. I would definitely recommend staying here !

10/10

Six of us (three generations) stayed here during a hot February week and found The Lighthouse to be ideal and quite stunning - so much so that my two young ones were ready to explore every nook and cranny of the building after 17 hours of travel! We met Valerie twice, she was helpful, enthusiastic and keen to ensure that our holiday went to plan - it did. Great location - huge, unspoiled beach 5 mins walk; bars / shops 10 mins walk; supermarket 3 mins drive; Tampa International 75 mins drive (on a clear run) and so much to do in the area you simply cannot do everything. If we ever head back to Anna Maria Island then we will look to rent The Lighthouse again.

If you want a unique home stay, this is it. Touches of 60’s, American decor has a small but very nice pool, all of the amenities, beach items including towels, chairs etc to make your travel light. Everything is within walking distance but the free Trolley runs consistently. We didn’t even need to take it because we walked all of the time. We loved the beaches, Slim’s for dinner along with The Wicked Cantina. Traffic does get backed up coming on and off the island so plan accordingly. GREAT time!

We recently returned from 2 weeks at the Lighthouse property. It was a lovely house situated in a central location on Anna Maria Island. The property was clean and well-maintained. The finishing touches were unique and of a high standard. Valerie, the owner, was very responsive to our questions before and during our stay. We enjoyed all the restaurants that we tried on the island especially being able to walk to some of them. The beach was a short walk away which I miss now that we are home. We will definitely be returning next year.

The Lighthouse is a fabulous, one-of-a-kind property on AMI. It is meticulously decorated with nautical and American memorabilia from top to bottom, and on the outside as well. From the furniture to the pictures, from the architecture to the models and knickknacks, no detail is too small. The house is spacious, well laid out, and has a lighthouse tower deck with wonderful views. Plenty of pool gear, plenty of dishes and kitchen space, ample rooms for working, dining watching movies, etc. It is a comfy home away from home, and The owners are terrific.
