About this property

Our Waterfront Home Is All Ready Just For You! VRC16-000016

This is the Florida view you have been dreaming of...
Single family home situated at the end of a natural canal with a view over the water. Sit outside, fish off our dock, take out the kayaks, or just walk steps across the street to the beach!

We are mandated to a minimum 7 night stay.

If you have a boat, you can dock it right outside the house! Private neighborhood boat ramp access six houses to the left. Room for boat trailer in our driveway. Our dock can accommodate a boat with a 9ft beam, 26ft LOA.
In addition we have room for 2 vehicles in addition to the trailer.

Set off in your own boat and you are 1/4 mile from fishing in the grass flats, 20 mins from the north tip of Anna Maria Island (Bean Point) and from there, 3 miles to the first reef.

We have several ocean kayaks for your enjoyment. Launch from our dock and see the manatees right outside. Our neighborhood, has a private boat ramp about six houses to the right of the water view.

We live in nearby Tampa, Florida and we are happy to make sure you enjoy our piece of paradise as much as we do. Please let us know if you need information about local points of interest, instructions with the home, or if there is something we have overlooked to make your stay enjoyable.

Our neighborhood is very quiet with many permanent residents. You will find peace and quiet in the evenings. Two churches (Catholic and Episcopal) are within close walking distance.

Beach access is only 300 steps away! Our home sits on one of the narrowest parts of the island, so the Gulf and Bay are very close together!

You are located very near to Manatee Avenue and Gulf Drive. Very closely located to Publix Supermarket, beach stores and restaurants. Bike lanes are available on the island.
Free trolly pick-up 50 yards from our home.

Beach chairs, wagon and beach towels are supplied. Dishwasher and Laundry detergents are provided.

We offer a level 2 EV charger powered by our own solar system.
So bring your Electric Vehicle and power up for free.

There is a camera mounted to the outside of the house facing the channel. The camera is solely for the purpose to monitor the channel and our boat. Should the renter desire so, the camera can be disabled for the duration of the stay.


You are vacationing in a residential area where homes are in close proximity to each other. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. The maximum permissible noise level is 65 decibels (e.g., a normal conversation) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and 50 decibels (quiet conversation) between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. of the next day. No excessive, boisterous, or repetitive noise (e.g., shouting, yelling, screaming) is permitted. These noises can deprive neighboring persons of peaceful enjoyment of their property. A violation of the city's noise control ordinance shall subject the violator to the issuance of a notice of violation or citation. Noise is measured at the property line of the property generating the noise.

This was a great spot! So close to the beach and a fun filled town. Some great restaurants and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the manatees swim around and fish jumping out of the water. Oliver was very responsive and helpful.

AMI Gem

This is our 5th year staying here and we consider it our "home away from home". It is living the good life -- water view, resident manatee, flying fish, variety of birds, proximity to the Gulf. The owner is available and responsive and the time always passes too quickly.

Best stay on AMI.

Stayed at Oliver’s place 3 or 4 times now. Can’t say enough good things about the gouse and the host. Oliver welcomed us in person and made sure we got settled. Clean, well apportioned with a great waterfront location where wildlife abounds and the views are great. Kayaks are available for guests to use and we did. What fun! Thank, Oliver for hosting us for a great vacation once again. Burt and Liz

Highly recommend! Had a great stay!

We had a lovely stay. It’s a well furnished home sited on the water at the edge of a canal. It’s also just a few steps to a gorgeous beach with amazing sunset views. It’s very well equipped. The owner has thought of everything. The two decks overlooking the water offer a great spot to read, sun and have a toast.

Great Property

Great location, close to the beach, centrally located on the island. Nice, clean modern interior, very comfortable-everything you need for your beach visit. The location with the boat dock was a bonus, allowing my nephew to bring his boat down from Tampa for the day. Oliver was very considerate, checking in with us to insure all was well. Overall , I’d highly recommend this home and location.

Island Paradise, dock your boat in the back yard and fish everyday!

Annie and Oliver were the perfect host. Very spacious rooms and a beautiful kitchen with an amazing view. A family of manatees visited the dock almost every night. Having a place with a dock for our boat made it easy to fish everyday! Very relaxing getaway. Thank you!

Beautiful Getaway

This is a beautiful property, and we had the most amazing time here! Oliver, the owner, went out of his way during the duration of our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. He was super responsive to our questions as well. The house itself is WONDERFUL. Super clean and plenty of space for our family, and it included so many extras -- beach chairs, umbrellas, nets and even kayaks! The house was stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing week. Being on the channel was so beautiful and the beach is literally steps away! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an amazing stay on Holmes Beach!

Most pleasant property!

Enjoyed our week stay. The house did not disappoint us -- it is clean, well furnished, with a kitchen that has everything you can think of; the refrigerator and dishwasher are brand new. The pictures are accurate; the house is lovely. The owners are very reachable and accommodating. Loved the deck overlooking the canal especially for birdwatching; favorite being the osprey eating a fish which we saw several times. The neighborhood is quiet and great for dog walking. For restaurants, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Waterfront Restaurant on Bay Boulevard and lunch at the Crab & Fin at St. Armand's Circle on Lido Key. Hoping to return next winter.

So relaxing!

We loved this property. The photos depict it very accurately. It has a wonderful view of the canal from the deck and the main living area. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen had everything you could need, there were beach chairs, beach wagon, kayaks and more in the garage. It's just a very, very short walk to the beach through a peaceful neighborhood. We were particularly happy that the owners allowed us to bring our dog along. She enjoyed it as much as we did! Oliver was very easy to work with. We would most definitely recommend this house. No complaints at all!
