This home welcomes you inside with its elegant brick structure and hardwood floors. As soon as you walk in you will be met by a huge wall of windows, a gourmet kitchen, and a living space that opens into the lanai.

The main house has 4 bedrooms, 3 full/2 half baths, and a large gourmet kitchen, fit for any chef. It's fully equipped and has ample counter space for preparing large family meals! The open floor plan has a large screen TV, or just enjoy the view! The back lanai is fully screened and overlooks the pool area as well as the bay.

Here to enjoy the great outdoors? The center of the outdoor activities is the 2000+ square foot travertine pool deck that surrounds the pool and spa and connects the two units. Patio chairs, loungers, tables, and shade umbrellas are located throughout the space. You will absolutely love the backyard ambiance where you will have luscious trees on either side of you with views across almost ½ acre of the perfectly manicured lawn of the stunning Palma Sola Bay. The sunsets are incredible, either from the comfort of the heated pool and relaxing spa, the private dock on the pool deck, or the upstairs main house balcony. Take the path leading from the pool deck towards the bay and walk out onto the private dock where you can look out for some of the amazing wildlife or drop a line and fish right off the dock. No license is required from the dock and fishing gear is provided. Bring (or rent nearby) kayaks and paddle boards or put your boat in the water on one of the nearby Causeway boat ramps and anchor it at the private dock.

The property location is only minutes from the white sands and blue waters of Holmes Beach, Anna Maria Island, Bradenton Beach, and many more. Walking distance to the Holmes Beach Causeway, grocery stores, and public transportation. Convenient to restaurants, movies, shopping, and the local beaches, this home is perfect for those looking to enjoy all Anna Maria/Bradenton/Sarasota has to offer.

Spacious house with beautiful View

Our extended family had a wonderful vacation at this property! It was large enough for each of our group of 10 to have their own space to spread out and the common areas like the kitchen, great room, dining patio, hot tub, and game area were awesome. We enjoyed our time so much! The sunsets from the dock were beautiful!

Almost perfect.

We just had a week-long family vacation at this property and it was the perfect choice. The layout of the main house and the guest house was great for a group of our adult children and their families. The house was very well equipped and a great vacation. My favorite part was the incredible sunsets!!! There were a few minor things that needed fixing, but they came out right away to try to work it out. Overall, I highly recommend.

Summer breeze

Evenings on the back deck with the breeze blowing were amazing. Watching the horses in the water, fishing of the dock. We had a great time. We had 12 and had no issues with space. The pillows were very comfortable. Plenty of amenities and things to do. 4 miles to the beach and you could ride a bike there if you wanted to. Can't say enough, it was amazing. Clean and well kept.

Our stay

The home had lots of space, but definitely could use a deep cleaning, the master bathtub had left over water with mosquitos on it and the shower had mildew. The pool was not cleaned either. :-( If the home gets a good deep clean it would be a great place to stay

Birthday Weekend

The house is great, with plenty of space for people. The garage/bunk house had more stuff for to use for entertainment. Only issue was the water dispenser and ice machine in the refrigerator didn’t work very consistently, and there didn’t appear to be a lot of hot water in the master bathroom. Had to pick up an extra bag of ice in order to accommodate all the folks staying at the house. House, pool, yard, and kitchen were put to good use! Would stay there again if needed!

Perfect for Families

This house was a great fit for our annual family trip! Every year we book something for our 3 kids/spouses and their combined 6 grandkids ranging in age from 4 to 16 years old. They just finished an upgrade on the whole house, and it showed. The layout of this compound made for the perfect mix of time together with all of us, and separate spaces for the different aged grandkids to do their thing. We stayed in the primary master on the ground floor with a huge walk in bathroom, our two sons whose kids are aged 4 to 8 years old stayed in the main house with us, and loved sleeping together in the bunkbed room. Our daughter, and her three teenagers, stayed in the separate guest house, which kept the teenage noise away from the early bedtime kiddos :) The house has water and sunset views from all the rooms, as well as from our favorite spot -- the pool and hot tub. Everything was nicely stocked and had what we needed - including lots of extras like a great book selection, 3 bikes to explore around the area, fishing gear, and fun games (sit down video gaming thing with pacman and all the old good ones, corn hole, pop-a-shot, croquet, etc). We took advantage of the private dock and rented jet skis for the week, and the little ones enjoyed fishing from it -- and seeing a manatee! We loved the island beaches which were super close and family friendly. Everyone loved this trip -- one of our all time favorite times together. The owners quickly responded to any questions while at the property (thank you Erik and Shauna for setting up the jet ski rental). I highly recommend booking this house to anyone looking for a sunny Florida family vacation.

Relaxing stay

This was a wonderful house and a relaxing stay for our family with young kids. The primary bed is very lumpy- ended up not being gable to sleep there at all. Also needs more silverware/plates settings. We really enjoyed watching the horses go by on their tours and finally figured out how to make the hot tub hot:)

Absolutely loved the property, just beautiful and location, close to everything we wanted/needed to do!! Only a couple of small negatives...not quite enough dishes, dishwasher needs replaced (no dishwasher detergent, really?) bathroom towels what you get at cheap hotels ( a home this beautiful should do better than cheap out on towels). The negatives are small, loved absolutely everything else about the home!! Would definitely stay here again!!

Great House in a Great Location

House was perfect for six adults. We enjoyed our time there. Also, proximity to the beaches was excellent - everything within 5-15 minutes depending on where we went. Met the owner of the house while there - a very nice man. They had an issue with the wifi (was working intermittently). Not his fault and he did everything he could to expedite the repairs. We did not find the kitchen to be quite as bare as some other reviewers had mentioned. Plenty of glasses and plates and cups for our party of six. Big great/family room - plenty large enough for six adults to watch TV on the large 70" HD TV. Huge Island in kitchen with either 4 or 5 stools. Island was massive so several people could sit or eat there very comfortably. Bed in master bedroom was "squeaky". Could not figure out why or how to sort that. Every time I or my wife rolled over in bed it made a decent amount of noise. Master bath is huge (completely separate areas for two people to get ready). Shower in master bath was massive. I do think they ought to update some of the pictures - especially the one of the patio which shows a fire pit - there is no fire pit on property. Also, only four beach chairs is a bit light for a 3 bedroom home. We bought two inexpensive ones from Publix and left those there upon exiting. They were ok and hopefully they have been left for other guests. Also, no beach umbrella. Management company was OK to deal with. Not the most responsive. They typically responded to my pre-trip inquiries within a day or two, but if I sent a follow up that was ignored. I've had better experience dealing with property owners when renting on VRBO, but you can't control that.
