About this property
Ground Floor Luxury 4BR Home · Heated Saltwater Pool & Spa · Very Close to Beach
Welcome to AMI Beach Home in Holmes Beach on beautiful Anna Maria Island.
This custom-built ground-floor vacation home at 201 69th Street is located just a short walk across Gulf Drive from the white sandy Gulf beach and offers a private island retreat for up to 8 guests. The home features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, providing comfortable space for families or small groups seeking a relaxed island stay.
After a day at the beach, rinse off under the outdoor foot shower and enjoy the heated butterfly-shaped saltwater pool with sun shelf and attached spa surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Part of the pool deck and the spa are located under a roof overhang, allowing guests to enjoy the area even during occasional Florida rain. Guests can relax in the Florida sun on the pool deck or unwind in the shaded patio area beneath the pergola.
Pool and spa operate on a shared heating system. Heating performance is weather dependent and subject to environmental and technical limitations. Pool and spa cannot be heated simultaneously. The pool and spa are provided as amenities for guest enjoyment and do not constitute grounds for refund or compensation in the event of limited operation or downtime. Due to local noise ordinances, pool and spa equipment must shut off overnight.
When the sun sets, the tropical garden creates a peaceful evening atmosphere. Prepare fresh seafood on the grill and dine beneath the pergola while soft landscape lighting illuminates the surrounding palms. A giant outdoor chess set and hammock provide additional opportunities to relax after a day at the beach.
Inside the Smart Home, the bright open living, dining, and kitchen area features vaulted ceilings and a modern gallery-style interior displaying original island photography by the owner. The design is intentionally calm and uncluttered without themed décor.
Bedrooms feature comfortable king beds with bathrooms conveniently located for easy access. HD OTA television and Roku streaming are available in the living room, bedrooms, and outdoor pergola area.
High-speed Wi-Fi internet is provided via a Frontier fiber connection with coverage throughout the house and pool deck. A full-sized washer and dryer are available for guest convenience.
Florida’s climate can bring high temperatures and humidity, especially during summer months. The air conditioning systems are professionally maintained and operate within regulated performance ranges to ensure reliable and consistent indoor comfort throughout your stay.
You are vacationing in a residential neighborhood. Please keep noise at a respectful level, especially around the pool area. Pool equipment automatically shuts off overnight in accordance with local regulations.
Preventive pest control is performed regularly; however, due to Florida’s warm and humid subtropical climate, occasional insects or small lizards may appear indoors despite best efforts. This is typical for the region.
Due to documented health considerations within the Owner’s family, pets — including service or emotional support animals — are not permitted on this private property under any circumstances. This includes visitors of guests. Any animal found on the premises will result in expedited eviction, forfeiture of payments, and liability for specialized cleaning and any resulting damages.
Absolutely no smoking anywhere on the property.
Exterior video surveillance with motion-activated recording is installed in the driveway and pool equipment areas. No cameras are installed inside the home or in the pool or spa areas.
The property was completely renovated in 2016. Environmentally friendly solar roofs were added in 2022. Following the 2024 storm season, exterior landscaping and select technical components were renewed and upgraded. Due to extensive preventive measures installed in advance, no interior water intrusion occurred.
We encourage guests to consider purchasing travel insurance to protect their stay against unforeseen circumstances.

We have visited AMI for 17 years and this rental met or surpassed all our needs. The home was very clean, spacious, well stocked and two hundred yards from the beach. Staying at a ranch house, with no steps, for us seniors was awesome.

We are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay. We do hope you will come stay at our property again. Happy to year!
The house is wonderful and the location is fantastic! We had a couple of questions and Cheri and maintenance (Ryan, I think) could not have been more responsive. The covered hot tub is particularly wonderful; at one point we were there in the rain, which felt really special. You will not be disappointed if you rent this property!

This is a beautiful house with all of the amenities. Location is perfect for beachgoers. It was great for our family of five, but could easily accommodate a few more people. We would stay there again and would recommend to anyone!

We are happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at our property and hope you will come stay with us again next time you visit Anna Maria Island.
Wonderful property, more than enough space for our big family, and only one block from a beautiful beach. The property manager was wonderful and responded quickly to my questions or needs. Looking forward to our next trip there.
We took our Senior son on Spring Break and really enjoyed this property. Perfect location for easy beach access and house was set up nicely with open floor plan and a nice hot tub and pool. Highly recommended

This home was nice. Great location to the beach. I suggest renting a golf cart and bikes for the week. Only complaint is we had only one towel per person, so we had to do laundry everyday.

In order to allow for same day arrivals, we are only able to provide one towel set per guest so that the linens and the house can be properly cleaned for the next arriving guests. We do provide the washer/dryer as well as laundry detergent, bleach, Spot remover and Bounce.
Golf carts and bicycles are a great way to see the island!
We stayed here for my husbands’ 40th birthday weekend with friends. The layout is perfect for a group and we enjoyed the spa more than expected! We swam, played chess and enjoyed the beautiful weather in the evenings watching football outside. Great location, a short walk to the beach. Beds were large and comfortable - great spot!

The house was very nice and spacious. They had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The beach was a 2 minute walk away. I would highly recommend this property.
Great home for our family and SO close to the beach! Just a 2 minute walk to the ocean. Loved that it was a one-story home and it is SO spacious! Loved everything about it, will definitely be back!

It is an outstanding property that was one block from the beach. Everything was in working order and was either new or very well maintained. The house and furnishings were nicer than advertised. We will certainly stay there again in the future!
