This complex is located adjacent to the Manatee Public Beach to provide added activities for the children as well as a lifeguard protected beach. It’s centrally located in Holmes Beach so you can easily explore all that Anna Maria Island has to offer. The very large pool area provides lots of room to sun bathe and also offers a very large covered area if you want to just relax in the shade with a book after a stroll on the beautiful beach. Enjoy the sunsets over the beach from the open porch.

Beachfront

I found the proximity to the beach and stores to be very convenient. The one down side was the noise from the street and beach parking lot. The cars and constant buses make a lot of noise beginning at 7:00am. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We would love to stay here again - right on the beach and close to everything. We would beach it during the day and then enjoy the large pool late afternoon. Landscaping was beautiful and well maintained. Convenient storage area with everything you would need for the beach provided. There are things that could be updated; a keypad for entry instead of a set of keys etc., but all in all, great place.

Great condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was great. It was stocked with everything you need, and I was impressed with the quality of pots/pans/utensils. The location was great. It is a very short walk to the beach. We never even used the beach wagon and we’re easily able to walk with the provided beach chairs. The condo is next to the public beach, but that was not an issue for us. You can easily walk to the cafe or to the trolley stop.

Both steps from the beach and positioned for relaxation. We had plenty of room and truly felt at home. The extra storage room was packed with anything you would need for a day at the beach. We found movies, books, puzzles and games in the room as well. We Will Be Back!!

Nice beachfront condo

We really enjoyed staying here. The place was immaculate when we came in - by far one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed in. It’s very well stocked with kitchen items, towels and all the beach things you could need. Two parking places were included so we could park a golf cart, too. The pool and grounds were clean and well-kept- pool is heated but not overly hot. We didn’t mind being next to Manatee Beach or the road. You do hear some noise occasionally from the road, but it didn’t bother us. Communication from the rental office was excellent. Great location - right on the beach, and it’s nice to be We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome property!

This property was great! Great location, great space, great amenities, great accommodations. The only things that were not ideal was the payment option, the key access and the lack of ceiling fans. It would have been great to just have our card charged for the balance of what was due vs having to call and provide an e-check. Would have just rather not had to think about it. A keyless entry, like other condos at the same complex would have been more convenient. Ceiling fans in Florida are a must. They would have made our stay more comfortable. But I would still recommend this property to a friend.’
