About this property

Franks Beach House · Gulf Front · Bose Sound

VRC16-000543

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.

Nice home, great location, house smells

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. 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.

Perfect beach stay

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.

Best location on Anna Maria.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.

Paradise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked Franks Beach House not knowing anything about Anna Maria Island and were blown away when we got there. There was a keypad on the door so we were able to go straight to the house when we got into town, making check in and check out a breeze. It is in the perfect location near grocery shopping and restaurants. Our favorite part of the house was being steps to the beautiful private oceanfront and everything we needed was provided. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We rented a golf cart for a few days and explored the island as well. We are already looking at booking our next trip to Franks Beach House, the whole family wants it to be our new yearly destination!
