Look no further, this is the place for you.
The Lighthouse in Holmes Beach is a large comfortable interesting home with everything you may need for your vacation. The beds were excellent! It was a very easy walk to the beach and there was also parking available there if you prefer to drive.
The owner of the home was wonderful to work with and we would happily rent here again. No need to look further, this is the place!

Simply the best stay you can imagine!
We'd watched The Lighthouse being built and stayed in the owners rentals before and loved them so we were thrilled to be one of the first to get the chance to stay here. It's fabulous, like being in a movie and on the trolley route when you don't fancy driving. Can't recommend this highly enough , and great value too.

Had an enjoyable stay at The Lighthouse
We enjoyed our stay at the Lighthouse more than we could ever express. Seabreeze management was quick to respond to any questions and were so happy to help at any moment. We enjoyed the pool every day, as well as the amazing view standing atop the lighthouse balcony. This was an unforgettable experience. Clean house, aesthetic architecture and design, wonderful amenities, close proximity to the beach, amazing management... 10/10 stars in the heart of Anna Maria Island!

Fantastic - we would not hesitate to book again!
Six of us (three generations) stayed here during a hot February week and found The Lighthouse to be ideal and quite stunning - so much so that my two young ones were ready to explore every nook and cranny of the building after 17 hours of travel!
We met Valerie twice, she was helpful, enthusiastic and keen to ensure that our holiday went to plan - it did.
Great location - huge, unspoiled beach 5 mins walk; bars / shops 10 mins walk; supermarket 3 mins drive; Tampa International 75 mins drive (on a clear run) and so much to do in the area you simply cannot do everything.
If we ever head back to Anna Maria Island then we will look to rent The Lighthouse again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The Lighthouse
Pros: 1) short walk to the beach-7 minutes, 2) very nice availability of beach toys, bikes, beach chairs, 3) nice and clean small pool in the front of the house (about 7’ x 13’), 4) updated kitchen and flooring on the first floor 5) patriotic theme (USA and British Flags, John F Kennedy memorabilia on first floor) Cons: 1) Worn and dirty carpeting on the winding stairs going to second floor bedrooms (stain noticed on landing outside bedroom), 2) sofas in living room a bit worn (especially the red one), and dated accessories-furniture (tables, etc). 3) the house sits/faces the main road and unless you google where the house is located, you would never know that from the descriptive picture!(we unfortunately did not do that).
For the price, the house is not up to par compared to other similarly priced rentals.
Valerie the owner was responsive and attentive however.

Loved our stay at Lighthouse
We loved our stay at the Lighthouse through sea breeze. The house was very well equipped, and was very clean. We will reserve through sea breeze again when we stay an Anna Maria Island.

Fun and Kitschy Property!
The Lighthouse is fun and kitschy with model boats and JFK memorabilia throughout, my 3 year old son loved it and the small heated pool. It was equipped with everything needed. Overall, we did enjoy our time.

One-of-a-kind property on AMI!
The Lighthouse is a fabulous, one-of-a-kind property on AMI. It is meticulously decorated with nautical and American memorabilia from top to bottom, and on the outside as well. From the furniture to the pictures, from the architecture to the models and knickknacks, no detail is too small. The house is spacious, well laid out, and has a lighthouse tower deck with wonderful views. Plenty of pool gear, plenty of dishes and kitchen space, ample rooms for working, dining watching movies, etc. It is a comfy home away from home, and The owners are terrific.
This was our 5th trip to AMI, we just love it here. This house was 1000% as described and Valerie was AMAZING with her communication. The only thing I would make a bit more clear is that Palm Blvd during our week was very busy with traffic. While not a huge deal, it was rather noisy from the vehicle traffic. Aside from that, the house was really perfect and was equipped with everything we could possibly need.
Oh, the pool and the pool deck area, fantastic!!!!

Quaint and unique home within walking distance from everything. Loved it!
If you want a unique home stay, this is it. Touches of 60’s, American decor has a small but very nice pool, all of the amenities, beach items including towels, chairs etc to make your travel light. Everything is within walking distance but the free Trolley runs consistently. We didn’t even need to take it because we walked all of the time. We loved the beaches, Slim’s for dinner along with The Wicked Cantina. Traffic does get backed up coming on and off the island so plan accordingly. GREAT time!
My family enjoyed this stay. We loved the detail to the house. It really was beautifully decorated
Wonderful and would definitely stay again.

Anna Maria Island Lighthouse
The house was perfect for our Spring Break getaway. What made it even better was the great decor of the home and the beach essentials (towels, chairs, floats, etc.). The location was perfect, an easy walk to the beach and a short drive to anything you need. We had a wonderful relaxing time.

Unique property with everything you could wish for!
Valerie is the consummate “landlady” - met us on arrival and looked in to wave us off as we headed to the airport.
The Lighthouse is a tremendous place to stay with all sorts of interesting features, some of which we only spotted the day we left!
Really well equipped, with everything you could think of available.
Comfy beds, quality bed linen, towels and furniture made for a great stay.
We’ll certainly return and recommend to friends!

Exceptional property
We had a wonderful 11 day stay in August in this unique property. The owners truly want you to have a first class holiday experience. The lighthouse was decorated and cleaned to the highest standard. The pool is at the front of the house and is not large but was big enough for our family if 2 teenagers and 2 adults and the tropical plants screened it off well. The beach toys and supplies were a great addition, The walk to the beautiful beaches is under 10 minutes. Valerie was superb to deal with, very quick to respond. I would definitely recommend this property it is exceptional.
