About this property

Island Vibe 3: Close to Beach with Private Heated Pool

Welcome to Island Vibe 3! This is a renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with private, heated and cooled pool, tropical landscaping and a private back yard!

** If you're visiting AMI with another group, consider renting with attached duplex Island Vibe 2 (VRBO #1193410) for a total of 5 bedrooms!

Located on 60th Street in Holmes Beach, this lovely property is convenient to the beach and in a very quiet Holmes Beach residential neighborhood. It has one shared wall with the unit next door. From here, it is just a short walk to the many shops and restaurants in downtown Holmes Beach, as well as the Island’s only dog park.

This beautiful property will sleep 6 people with 1 Queen bed and 2 Twin beds that can convert to a King. Plus, there is a pullout couch in the living room! You can park up to 2 cars in the driveway.

In the backyard, you'll find a large open deck and a covered, shaded area overlooking the pool. We've added solar lights on the deck for enjoying the outdoors during those great Florida evenings.

You'll never miss a moment of your favorite sporting event! We have a 55" television in the living room with a DVD player, as well as a 43" television in the each bedroom. There is also a 43" television on the outdoor deck!

Convenience for our guests is a priority for us! All of the TVs are smart TVs and have streaming television with the Spectrum App. A washer and dryer, wireless internet, cable television and free domestic long distance calling are all included! Additionally, if you're traveling with little ones or pets, we gladly provide an array of convenient items upon request. We have high-chairs, pack 'n plays, baby gates, fans, and dog crates so you can pack less and enjoy a worry-free family getaway. Just let us know what you need in advance so we can make sure it is ready for you at the property upon your arrival.

There is plenty of opportunity for fun and games at Island Vibe 3. Inside a storage room by the pool is a ping pong table, a beach cart, beach toys and lots of beach equipment. Additionally, there is a propane grill and outdoor propane fire pit.

We are pet-friendly! Two pets are permitted with prior approval, signed Pet Addendum, and a $150.00 non-refundable pet fee (plus 13% tax).

We were very happy with the accommodations and the location of this unit we brought our dog with us. We were one block from the dog park, which was great. The unit was very clean. We love the swimming pool. Only wish I had a little more exposure to the sun would highly recommend it would come back to the unit in future visits.

Perfect Getaway

Great little spot. We had a wonderful time at this efficient 2 bedroom home. With 2 ensuite bedrooms/baths there is plenty of separation for adult guests. The private pool area was a quiet oasis that allowed us to maximize time in the sun even though the temperature was a bit chilly in January. The island is perfectly walkable with lots of good restaurants to enjoy.

We loved our stay here. The property is as advertised. It’s in a great location - short walk to the beach and many good restaurants/bars. The place is well stocked, even laundry and shower needs. The furniture is comfortable. What we enjoyed most is the total privacy of the back porch and pool area - your own little slice of paradise. The property manager was fantastic - checking in periodically and extremely prompt responses. We’d love to rent here again.

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was close to so many things but yet, quiet and peaceful. Everything needed was there. Nice quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the beach, trolley stops close by. We couldn't ask for anything more. Cathy was easy to work with and the check in / check out process was painless. Thanks for sharing this piece of paradise with us.

A Wonderful Stay in Paradise!

This property was exactly what we needed to escape the cold of the Midwest during winter! My family has been coming to Anna Maria for decades and this property was fantastic! It's very centrally located, close to shops and restaurants but tucked away from the busy street. The pool was wonderful to relax in during the day and the inside of the property is very well maintained. Sara was an amazing host, very communicative and responsive. It's hard to find quality accommodations that allow pets and we were so fortunate to be able to stay here. Can't wait to come back!!

Week In Paradise

This was a very nice duplex in a great location. It comes with its own private pool and backyard oasis! You can walk to the beach in 6 minutes and they supply all the beach amenities you could ever need. This was an extra plus especially when flying in. There are also several restaurants within walking distance. This duplex is located in a quiet neighborhood and everyone we met while out doing our daily morning walks were all so friendly. Our host Cathy was excellent to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay.. even bringing us another cooler when the other one there was found unusable. Cathy was always quick to respond to any questions. I would recommend this duplex to anyone looking for a wonderful place to vacation!

A quick getaway with my son.

My son had to burn some vacation days so i found this property on VRBO. The manager/owner was great. Property was awesome. They have everything you need to enjoy your break. Beaches are great. You can walk to 3 wonderful restaurants. The Ugly Grouper, Duffy’s Tavern and a good Italian restaurant i can’t remember the name of. But good food. I rented a golf cart so we drove all over the Island. I would go back without hesitation.

A Little Slice of Paradise

Island Vibe 3 was the perfect fit for our family of four. We also had fellow island friends visit to hang out in the evenings by the pool, and for highly anticipated ping pong tournaments. The backyard was the perfect oasis for both relaxation and fun with our friends & family, and truly checked all the boxes for us! The home was exceptionally clean, and you would have never guessed furry friends had visited. Island Vibe 3 was stocked with all of the essentials, from cookware to beach gear! Pack your personals, and hit the trail…this is the place for you!

Clean, cozy, comfortable!

Island Vibe 3 is an outdoor haven with heavenly heated pool and a beautiful outdoor area that accommodates a large group, thanks to a well stocked pool/ beach equipment room. (You don't need to bring beach chairs, wagon, toys, games, etc.) It is only a short walk to gorgeous Holmes Beach. The two beachy-themed bedrooms have access to their own fully stocked bathrooms with thick, fluffy towels. Three TVs including one outdoors on the deck with a huge washer and drier, too. Our lab was immediately comfortable as were we! Cathy, the property manager, was an invisible genie, responding quickly to our few requests. She also made sure we knew how to respond to possible flooding during impending storms. Kudos to her for making our three week stay seamless! Walking distance to several restaurants including the Ugly Grouper with live music, friendly Vinny's Italian takeout, and lots more. Also be aware that there are steps in the front and back to navigate. We LOVED our stay!

Vacay Vibes at Island Vibe 3

Island Vibe 3 was the perfect place for our vacay vibes family of 4 getaway. Having everything we needed allowed us to be carefree and enjoy our stay worry free from the morning sunrises to gorgeous evening sunsets taking in the calm and relaxtion on island time! Great communication with the host. All the amenities you would need and more. Flying and limited packing with young kids- the provided beach chairs, wagon, toys, umbrellas etc were all so great to have on hand for beach days and pool floats etc for the pool afternoons that followed the beach days. Space was clean, cozy, inviting and the stocked bathrooms and cabinets with towels etc made our stay feel so welcomed with minimal stress and planning. Holmes Beach is a quick walk along with a short walk to surrounding restaurants and trolley stop. We loved the private oasis pool area for early morning and later afternoons after beach days and the outdoor shower and hose was so useful too! Our stay was so relaxing, pure paradise! This was our first time on AMI and we look forward to planning another trip back and when we do we will be booking with Island Vibe Properties again...the rental, communication, amenities, location - all 5 stars!!!!! Why stress when on island time, save yourself the hassle and go with Island Vibe Properties, you won't be disappointed!
