Our Waterfront Home Is All Ready Just For You!
VRC16-000016
This is the Florida view you have been dreaming of... Single family home situated at the end of a natural canal with a view over the water. Sit outside, fish off our dock, take out the kayaks, or just walk steps across the street to the beach!
We are mandated to a minimum 7 night stay.
If you have a boat, you can dock it right outside the house! Private neighborhood boat ramp access six houses to the left. Room for boat trailer in our driveway. Our dock can accommodate a boat with a 9ft beam, 26ft LOA. In addition we have room for 2 vehicles in addition to the trailer.
Set off in your own boat and you are 1/4 mile from fishing in the grass flats, 20 mins from the north tip of Anna Maria Island (Bean Point) and from there, 3 miles to the first reef.
We have several ocean kayaks for your enjoyment. Launch from our dock and see the manatees right outside. Our neighborhood, has a private boat ramp about six houses to the right of the water view.
We live in nearby Tampa, Florida and we are happy to make sure you enjoy our piece of paradise as much as we do. Please let us know if you need information about local points of interest, instructions with the home, or if there is something we have overlooked to make your stay enjoyable.
Our neighborhood is very quiet with many permanent residents. You will find peace and quiet in the evenings. Two churches (Catholic and Episcopal) are within close walking distance.
Beach access is only 300 steps away! Our home sits on one of the narrowest parts of the island, so the Gulf and Bay are very close together!
You are located very near to Manatee Avenue and Gulf Drive. Very closely located to Publix Supermarket, beach stores and restaurants. Bike lanes are available on the island. Free trolly pick-up 50 yards from our home.
Beach chairs, wagon and beach towels are supplied. Dishwasher and Laundry detergents are provided.
We offer a level 2 EV charger powered by our own solar system. So bring your Electric Vehicle and power up for free.
There is a camera mounted to the outside of the house facing the channel. The camera is solely for the purpose to monitor the channel and our boat. Should the renter desire so, the camera can be disabled for the duration of the stay.

The maximum permissible noise level is 65 decibels (e.g., a normal conversation) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and 50 decibels (quiet conversation) between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. of the next day. No excessive, boisterous, or repetitive noise (e.g., shouting, yelling, screaming) is permitted. These noises can deprive neighboring persons of peaceful enjoyment of their property.

This was a great spot! So close to the beach and a fun filled town. Some great restaurants and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the manatees swim around and fish jumping out of the water. Oliver was very responsive and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was immaculately clean with a spacious living area and lovely comfortable bedrooms with modern bathrooms. We also appreciated the view of the bay. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to returning!
This is our third year staying here, and once again it did not disappoint. Everything was as I remembered and appreciate and is very much our "home away from home"
This is our 5th year staying here and we consider it our "home away from home". It is living the good life -- water view, resident manatee, flying fish, variety of birds, proximity to the Gulf. The owner is available and responsive and the time always passes too quickly.

Angela and Sam are the guests you are looking for. They treated our house with the ultimate respect and left it clean and tidy upon their departure. We hope to have them again as guests down the road.
Have stayed here before. Lovely property in nice neighborhood. Owner very helpful and easy to communicate with. Weather, however, did not cooperate on this trip.
Stayed at Oliver’s place 3 or 4 times now. Can’t say enough good things about the gouse and the host. Oliver welcomed us in person and made sure we got settled. Clean, well apportioned with a great waterfront location where wildlife abounds and the views are great. Kayaks are available for guests to use and we did. What fun! Thank, Oliver for hosting us for a great vacation once again. Burt and Liz
We had a lovely stay. It’s a well furnished home sited on the water at the edge of a canal. It’s also just a few steps to a gorgeous beach with amazing sunset views. It’s very well equipped. The owner has thought of everything. The two decks overlooking the water offer a great spot to read, sun and have a toast.
We could not have asked for a better person ro rent from than Oliver. He truly took care of us this week. He has such a amazing place to stay, so if you are looking to stay on AMI look here. You wont be disappointed.
The house is clean, comfortable, and in a great location!! The house is on a canal and a short walk to the beach, great restaurants, and grocery store close by! Oliver was wonderful to work with and checked in on us via text. I highly recommend this home and we will be back!
We have stayed here multiple times in the last several years. It is a top notched property in a quiet neighborhood with a nice view of canal. Owner is very responsive and checks in to make sure everything is ok. Hope to return next year.
Great location, close to the beach, centrally located on the island. Nice, clean modern interior, very comfortable-everything you need for your beach visit. The location with the boat dock was a bonus, allowing my nephew to bring his boat down from Tampa for the day. Oliver was very considerate, checking in with us to insure all was well. Overall , I’d highly recommend this home and location.

Island Paradise, dock your boat in the back yard and fish everyday!
Annie and Oliver were the perfect host. Very spacious rooms and a beautiful kitchen with an amazing view. A family of manatees visited the dock almost every night. Having a place with a dock for our boat made it easy to fish everyday! Very relaxing getaway. Thank you!

Thank you Judith for your kind words.
I can only return the compliments…please come see us again.
This is a beautiful property, and we had the most amazing time here! Oliver, the owner, went out of his way during the duration of our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. He was super responsive to our questions as well. The house itself is WONDERFUL. Super clean and plenty of space for our family, and it included so many extras -- beach chairs, umbrellas, nets and even kayaks! The house was stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing week. Being on the channel was so beautiful and the beach is literally steps away! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an amazing stay on Holmes Beach!

Most pleasant property!
Enjoyed our week stay. The house did not disappoint us -- it is clean, well furnished, with a kitchen that has everything you can think of; the refrigerator and dishwasher are brand new. The pictures are accurate; the house is lovely. The owners are very reachable and accommodating. Loved the deck overlooking the canal especially for birdwatching; favorite being the osprey eating a fish which we saw several times. The neighborhood is quiet and great for dog walking. For restaurants, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Waterfront Restaurant on Bay Boulevard and lunch at the Crab & Fin at St. Armand's Circle on Lido Key. Hoping to return next winter.

Joyce and Wade are very pleasant people who took tremendous care of our home during their visit.
The couple was very kind and easy to communicate with over the phone and text.
They even took care of a service visit made by our cable company.
The house was left very clean and tidy when they checked out.
We would recommend them as guests to anyone. We hope to have them back next year.

So relaxing!
We loved this property. The photos depict it very accurately. It has a wonderful view of the canal from the deck and the main living area. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen had everything you could need, there were beach chairs, beach wagon, kayaks and more in the garage. It's just a very, very short walk to the beach through a peaceful neighborhood. We were particularly happy that the owners allowed us to bring our dog along. She enjoyed it as much as we did! Oliver was very easy to work with. We would most definitely recommend this house. No complaints at all!
