3BR · 2.5BA · Sleeps 6 · Direct Gulf Front · Private Deck · Post-Hurricane 2025 Restoration · New Kitchen · Outdoor Shower ·
Some homes are more than just a place to stay — they hold a story. Breakers 1 is one of the last true Old Florida beach homes on Anna Maria Island, standing on the Gulf while everything around it has been replaced with newer construction. After the 2024 hurricanes, the home was restored — new kitchen, fresh updates throughout — while keeping the bones, the character, and the feel that guests have been returning for year after year.
Step off the deck and you're on the sand. No streets to cross, no path to navigate — the Gulf of Mexico is right there. The private Gulf-front deck is where the day ends at Breakers 1, whether that means morning coffee in the quiet before anyone else is up or an evening watching the sun drop into the water.
The home sleeps six across three bedrooms. The master suite has a king bed, an en-suite bath, and Gulf views. The guest room has two twin beds — right for families with younger kids. The loft has a queen bed with water views — open loft with no door, worth knowing if you're traveling with light sleepers or anyone who needs full privacy. The living area has vaulted ceilings, original details, and smart TVs throughout.
The kitchen is brand new — one of the most tangible improvements from the 2025 restoration. Fully equipped for a week of meals at home. An outdoor shower handles the sand. The garage provides covered parking for one car with two additional spaces outside — rare for a direct beachfront property on AMI.
The walkability here is exceptional even by Holmes Beach standards. Publix is within walking distance. CVS nearby. The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops close by for exploring the full length of the island without moving your car. Guests consistently report parking on arrival and never needing their car again until checkout.
A 5% military discount is available — contact IVP directly to apply.
Breakers 1 requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for 3 vehicles. Not pet-friendly.
*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due.
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. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM.
