3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Direct Gulf Front · Large Open Deck · Screened Lanai · Bose Sound System · Granite Kitchen · Garden Bathtub · Beach Chairs & Toys Provided · Undercover Parking · 5-Min Walk to Restaurants
Direct Gulf front in Holmes Beach. The large open deck faces the water — the right spot for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening sunsets over the Gulf. When shade is what you want, the screened lanai is steps away. The beach stretches for miles in either direction from the front of the house.
Inside, Franks Beach House has details that most Gulf-front homes don't bother with. A Bose sound system in the living room. Two large picture windows added specifically to maximize the beach view. The granite kitchen has updated cabinets and full appliances — properly equipped for a week of cooking at home. The master bathroom has a large garden bathtub for the end of a long beach day.
Three bedrooms sleep six across four proper beds. The master has a king bed. The second guest bedroom has two queen beds. The third bedroom has one queen bed. No sofa beds — everyone sleeps in a real bed. Smart TVs in all three bedrooms and the living room. High-speed WiFi throughout.
A storage room holds beach chairs and toys — grab everything on the way out and leave it when you come back. Gas grill on-site for cookouts. Full-size washer and dryer. Undercover parking for three cars. Shopping and restaurants are a five-minute walk.
Franks Beach House requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for three vehicles. Not pet-friendly.

Reviewer Comments:
Loved the home and location but the house smells terrible. It hits you when you walk in but think that maybe it's just been closed up and needs air but it doesn't go away. When we got home and unpacked we had to wash everything we took , coats, hats, everything, even if we didn't wear it. We got to thinking what we were breathing all week , mold ? Smell definitely needs to be investigated. Wouldn't recommend until that is addressed.
Our second time at this property and we plan to return. It is on a quiet beach, has a very well stocked kitchen, great living space, terrific deck for morning coffee and evening beverages, walking distance to drugstore, Publix, wine/liquor store, ice cream shop, cafes, and a few shops.
It was absolutely Wonderful! Love this place, 2nd time here, love Anna Maria too!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay. We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at the beach!
This house is clean, well-equipped, and most importantly sits on a gorgeous beachfront spot. We loved sitting out on the deck and watching the sun set and literally walking down the steps to the beach. Toddler friendly too: easy to close off the open living space and steps to a Publix. Would happily stay here again.

We love the house, so spacious and airy. Love the views of and walkout to the beach. It's also close to everything. We stayed at this house many years ago and those fond memories, made our pick of this house an easy choice!

Reviewer Comments:
Conveniently located near several shops and grocery, making it easy to just grab what you need for the day without overstocking for the week. Spot on the beach is fantastic and the carport is great for parking out of the sun.
The location was spectacular. Right on a private beach, close to the grocery store and short golf cart ride from everything on the island.
The house cleaning side did have a few issues (no trash bags, no dish soap, only one partial roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, dirty hand prints on the front door and bathroom doors), but I’m certain the management company will get those issues fixed.
Overall, a very enjoyable stay. Everyone in the family had a great time.

We loved Frank's beach house; the process from check in to check out was easy. The house was extremely clean, had everything you needed in a house, and very roomy for our family of 5. The location was fantastic being on the beach, and in close proximity to restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back!

Location, Location, Location!!! I have stayed at Franks for the last several vacations and the location of this house can’t be beat. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood, beachfront and within walking distance to Walgreens and Publix. The outside deck is a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The home is clean and well stocked. Island Vacation Properties is great to work with!

Frank's Beach House exceeded our expectations. It was fully stocked, clean, and you could tell they spent a lot of time (and money) making sure it was comfortable and used a lot of high end finishes.The location could not have been more perfect. Private beach spaced apart from public access points but still within walking distance to several ice cream shops and restaurants. We will definitely be coming back for many years.

Perfect home on a gorgeous stretch of beach. The owners were very kind and accommodating to our family needs! The screened in porch was a game bugs at night! We slept with sliding doors open and listened to the sounds of the waves all night long. The kitchen was big and spacious. It had everything we needed to prepare ocean side dinners. Lastly, the sunsets cannot be beat.

Frank’s was a perfect fit for our family gathering. The home is well appointed, great kitchen, very nicely done from dishes to cookware. Everything was clean and nicely appointed. The house is spacious yet comfortable. Sunsets were divine. Location is terrific. We very much enjoyed our two weeks there. Island Vacation Properties is top notch, friendly, helpful and is prompt to assist in any way. Highly recommend this group for rentals.
