Perfect for a small family . Great location.
Close to the beach, loved the hot and cold shower in the backyard. We had our bikes so it was nice to slip them in the back gate.

Home away from home in Holmes Beach!
The home has a Florida charm. Beautiful landscaping in front and back. Private fenced in backyard with outdoor shower! Within walking distance to beautiful beach.
Sea Palm cottage was so comfortable and close to the beach. We found the backyard space so beautiful and private. Wonderful accommodations!! We had a great time. We’ll be back next year.

Nice house in a great location. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was very clean!
Everything was as advertised. Comfortable cottage. Close to beach. Really enjoyed the backyard. Enclosed with a tall privacy fence with plenty of tall vegetation giving the sense of a small oasis out your back door.
