Four Beach Lovers for the WIN!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was not the first time I have stayed at this property; however, it was the first time I stayed in an oceanfront unit. We absolutely loved it! You are literally on the beach, the minute that you step off of the back deck. The property was clean, modern and spacious. The kitchen was large enough to actually cook a meal. I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody who asks, and I will definitely stay again.

Clean, beautiful view. The mattress and the couch need to be replaced. Both are extremely uncomfortable.

Hi Patty, thanks for taking the time to leave a review and provide your feedback. Mattresses and couches are very subjective to ones liking so what might not be comfortable to you is for others, the couch and mattress are brand new and were just put into the home in October 2025 when we first welcomed back guests since the 2024 hurricanes. We never heard from you during your stay in regards to any issues but we hope overall you enjoyed your stay.

Beach Time

This was our first trip to Anna Maria Island (Holmes Beach). We stayed in Unit 2 of “Four Beach Lovers” and loved being so close to the beach. Convenient for carrying your umbrella and chairs. Very quiet; like our own private beach. Our cable went out, however, staff responded asap and fixed the issue quickly. I would recommend this Unit for a nice vacation.

Love the Beach!

If you love spending time on the beach, this is the place for you. You walk out directly onto the sand. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The apartment is clean and well laid out with plenty of room. The deck area has a great view and we ate many meals watching the waves roll in. The only minor drawback was that the neighbors smoked so sometimes it was not pleasant on the deck because they are very close to each other. Regardless, highly recommend.

Nowhere better

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived at Four Beach Lovers 2 and found almost all of our troubles with our former unit to have been addressed. Only the lack of front windows that open remains untended to. With great comfort in our unit and gorgeous beach out the door, we barely left in our two week stay. Why go anywhere else?
