About the host

Host profile image
Hello!

Vacation time is often limited, so we are deeply honored you are considering our beach house as your personal oasis.

After 20+ years in corporate healthcare, I retired early to spend more time with family and serve local charities. During my career, I was blessed to experience some of the finest accommodations in the U.S, so I hold high standards for our beach vacation rental. My husband is a custom home builder in the Tampa Bay area.

We merged our "life experiences" to create a happy place for our family. Our home was custom designed to create a beautiful, relaxing environment that plays to your senses. You can hear the waterfall while napping. The color palette is beachy, yet easy on the eyes. The crisp, airy interior allows you to breathe deep the moment you arrive. This has been our labor of love, and we are thrilled to share it with you. We hope it becomes your happy place too.

Why they chose this property

The beach! It's the locals' favorite beach area. Two country music stars recently purchased a home next to our beach access area. The gentle sloping ocean floor, sand bar, lack of high rise condos, and quiet neighborhood makes it perfect for families seeking a beach escape to truly unwind.

For fun outings, we are only two houses from the free island trolley stop. Restaurants, clothing boutiques, coffee and ice cream shops are minutes away. You can access downtown Anna Maria, downtown Holmes Beach, and downtown Bradenton Beach, so the location is perfect!

What makes this property unique

NO STAIRS TO THE POOL - We have a luxury single level home that is built around the private tropical pool. Many homes have flights of stairs to access the pool. You can see family swimming from the living room while watching sports, easily carry meals to the patio for al fresco dining, or the kids can use the bathroom without running up and down the steps. Many guests return year after year due to the layout and neighborhood. It's perfect for a few small families.

OWNER MANAGED - This is a big one. Your experience is ALWAYS our top priority every stay. This is our only vacation rental in AMI, and we work directly with all our guests. We are available 24/7, provide our personal cell phones during your stay, and follow our guests desired level of communication. We love hospitality and sharing our home with wonderful families and friends.

THE GOLDEN RULE - We treat our guests as we would want to be treated. We provide professionally laundered high end linens and clean quilts every stay. We keep our pool heater on MAXIMUM heat throughout the winter. Most homes on the island do not do this. You have full access to adjust the AC to your desired temperature. We use high end mattresses and all the little luxuries you deserve.

LOCATION - AWESOME! Neighborhood is quiet, yet we are next to the trolley. We are near the best beach on the island.

REPEAT VISITORS - We are blessed with many amazing families who visit year after year. We love our repeat guests...many who have become friends!
