Property details:
Welcome to Island Retreat. A light blue exterior, multi-level home with several covered balconies and surrounded by tropical landscaping Island Retreat is exactly what its name suggests – a beautiful island getaway perfect for a tropical, sunny, and smile-filled vacation.
When you arrive at Island Retreat, you’ll notice the vibrant colors of the home and the greenery that surrounds its perimeter. Just a few minutes’ walk to Holmes Beach, you’ll smell the fresh ocean air and feel the sea breeze on your skin. Though you will walk into Island Retreat through the ground floor, the main living space is on the second level. This area is bright as it is filled with natural sunlight from its several windows, updated with luxury-style features, and beautifully decorated throughout. There are two primary suites in this rental, one on the main level and the second on the upper level. Both rooms are very spacious and feature king-sized beds, private balconies, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms. The kitchen is massive and features sweeping granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tons of storage space, and a kitchen island with a bar for three. The dining room is just beyond the kitchen and offers a bar-height table with eight chairs. The living room, adjacent to the dining room, is cozy and has a couch, matching loveseat, two leather armchairs, and a large flat-screen TV. Access to this floor’s balcony is in the dining space through a set of French doors. It’s a spacious balcony with views of the backyard and stairs that take you to the ground floor.
The first floor and backyard are what makes Island Retreat truly wonderful. First, there is a game room with a ping pong table that guests can use on the ground floor. Second, just outside there is a tiki bar area with a kitchenette and seating for five as well as two full-sized outdoor dining sets and a grill. Additionally, the private, heated pool is roomy and offers in-water seating and an in-water sundeck. Finally, there are several lounge chairs on the paved deck surrounding the pool and the backyard has an array of beautiful plants that really make you feel like you are living the island’s life! Island Retreat is conveniently located near the northernmost end of Anna Maria Island. It’s just a few minutes' walk to Holmes Beach and the Gulf of Mexico, close to tons of local shops and eateries, and near a drawbridge that takes you onto the mainland. These countless amenities and Island Retreat’s many five-star reviews make it easy to see that this rental is a dream spot to spend a much-needed Florida getaway!
