Everything about this rental was wonderful...the view of the ocean from the wrap around sundeck, the Island beach Cafe and Manatee Public Beach right across the road (with wonderful live music every afternoon and yummy food and drinks) and the cozy and super clean rooms and bathrooms. Our hosts were kind, responsive to any of our needs and a wealth of information about the area. The unit was well furnished and stocked with anything we could have needed, from beach towels to even some laundry detergent for the roomy washer and dryer. This was probably to most comfortable rental we have ever spent a full week in through VRBO. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future:)

Holmes Beach small condo

Castnetter 5 was a comfortable home away from home during our 6 week stay. Easy walking to the beach (across a busy street but near a crosswalk), a shared pool that often felt like our private pool, clean and generally updated accommodations. Castnetter 5 is up one flight of steps which affords a view of the Gulf from its large deck (could use some fresh paint there but plenty of outdoor furniture.) Alan was very responsive and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Alan Gary

Host profile image
I love hosting because it gives me the chance to share the places I enjoy most with people looking to relax, recharge, and make memories. Creating welcoming, thoughtfully designed spaces is something I genuinely enjoy. There’s nothing better than knowing a guest felt at home the moment they walked in.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me exploring local beaches, looking for great food spots, or working on creative projects that let me add little touches of beauty and comfort to everyday moments. I’m always happy to share recommendations, and I love helping guests experience the island the way locals do, laid-back, easygoing, and full of sunshine.

What makes this property unique

Our place shines with an unbeatable location just across from Manatee Public Beach, making it only a short stroll to the sand. You’re also steps from public transportation, close to local shopping and dining, and enjoy private, stress-free parking right in front of the unit, no crowds, no hassle.

The property features a shared pool with just one other unit, so you can relax in a quieter, more peaceful setting. Inside, the space is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully maintained, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights? The stunning sunset views from your private deck, perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.

Convenient, serene, and perfectly located, this is your ideal home base for enjoying all that Anna Maria Island has to offer.
