We had a bad experience at another property rental co and had to leave early and fight for a refund f Staying here for our last 3 nights was let us finally relax for vacation! We didn’t want to leave
Halcyon House is the perfect beach house for having the best beach experience. The location at Bean Point is great. March sunsets were incredible straight out from the condo. Every night was a new portrait!Kelly is great to work with and very responsive.Plan to be back!!
I’m picky on cleanliness and was very happy with this house. Easy walk to the beach with kids and we loved riding a golf cart around town. FYI-The house next door is under construction and one a few houses down. We were there mostly during the weekend and during the day weren’t at the house much so it wasn’t a big deal for us. The mornings and evening were quiet.
Beautiful setting. Main living area with terrific views. Seating very comfortable. Large dining table. Outdoor decks are roomy. Lots of passersby using public beach access through the back of the property but didn’t bother us as people watching was fun and folks very friendly. We had an issue with a leaking shower but our property manager Kelly offered to get it addressed right away. Big garage with bikes and lots of floats and beach gear easily accessible. Beach here was stunning
What a magical place! I will forever dream of those views! We called the path leading to the beach, the path to the heavens! The house has a very tasteful coastal comfortable feel, with lots of seating, comfortable beds and lovely art all over. Honestly, you will adore this place and need to return!! We loved it!
This year was my ninth February spent at Halcyon House, a destination that has begun to feel like "coming home." The house has been beautifully maintained, and Kelly is consistently the ultimate host: available, responsive, and attuned to details that have made me sorry to leave and eager to return. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the linens (sheets and towels) pristine, and the heating/cooling system state of the art. And the views--always spectacular. I'm looking forward to year ten!
The host was very responsive and the home was beautiful. We loved the beachfront location and the sunsets from the deck were spectacular! Beds and pillows were also quite comfortable.
The view from this house can’t be beat! Being able to walk right out to the beach was fantastic. We enjoyed all of the beach amenities that were provided as well. It was so nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas available to us! We even enjoyed the sand toys! Sitting on the back deck enjoying a cocktail at sunset was a 5 star experience!
Beautiful property, great blend of rustic charm and modern updates. Well stocked with everything, from kitchenware to beach toys. Gorgeous views with fantastic beach access. Kelly was wonderfully responsive and very kind. Wonderful experience all around!
Had a fabulous time at this property. It's beautifully decorated. The view to the beach was amazing. The beds were really comfortable. The property is stocked with everything you might need. It was quiet - perfect place to relax. We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing vacation! Wonderful house--perfect for our family. Best spot on the most beautiful beach! The host was very helpful and quick to respond. Loved those sunsets and nights on the porch.
Our beach trip was everything we wanted it to be and more. The house is in the perfect quiet location. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and the views from the balcony’s were beautiful and so peaceful. We have officially found our yearly beach trip home. Kelly was incredible and so easy to communicate with and so kind. We definitely had the best time and look forward to returning next year!
Just the perfect place in the perfect surroundings for a calm and decent holiday!

About the host
Hosted by Kelly French
I first sunk my toes into the soft AMI sand in 2013 and immediately knew this is where I was meant to be. The following year, I purchased my beach house overlooking the Gulf on beautiful Bean Point (Halcyon House.) While I enjoy making memories at my house with family and friends, it also brings be great joy opening it up to others to enjoy. In 2019 I decided to make the island my permanent home.
Why they chose this property
My house is on the desirable north end of the 7 mile island within walking distance of Anna Maria's unique shops and numerous restaurants. It is a quiet, residential area on what I believe is the most beautiful beach in the world.
