The Sailfish Gulf Suites is a small family-owned resort. There are no hallways, stairs, or elevators to traverse, one just needs to open the sliding glass door to the patio, walk five steps and you are touching sand - you're on the beach! There are not many properties like this on the island. We have a one-bedroom spacious unit, with king-size bed, sofa-sleeper in the living room, full kitchen, and sunsets on the patio.
We are located on a quiet stretch of Gulf Drive, walking distance to a public fishing pier and outdoor cafe. Plus, the local grocery store is easily accessible from our place if you want to make your own meals, and stay close the beach.
Our little resort is managed by Jeanne, who will make you feel right at home with her Florida charm. She has a passion for gardening, so something is always blooming at our place.

Why the Owner Chose Holmes Beach
This family resort was a dream of our parents. We had a tiny cottage on the south end of the island, but my mom wanted to be on the water. My dad drove up and down the west coast one day, looking for a place on the water. He found our little 4-flat resort around 8PM, called my mom who drove over and met him there, and they proceeded to negotiate with the owners and shook hands at midnight. My mom had her place on the water.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment/Suite
There is nothing better than the sunsets while sitting on our patio, or watching the dolphins pass by in the morning, or just being able to go inside for a glass of water whenever I want to do so! We've had manatees swim by every so often, so this place is magical.

This family resort was a dream of my mother's, and the responsibility of overseeing it was given to me when my mother passed away from ovarian cancer in 2004. The entire extended family loves this place, it is so special, with the beach and gulf right there
