Pet-Friendly, Pool, Walk to The Holmes Beach With Incredible Sunsets
Breathe in the island breeze and let the rhythm of the coast reset your soul at Holmes Getaway—a sunny, elevated escape just a short stroll from the powder-soft shores of Anna Maria Island.
Set on the upper floor of a quiet duplex in the heart of Holmes Beach, this welcoming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat blends island ease with modern comfort. Pet-friendly and perfectly suited for couples, families, or friends, Holmes Getaway is your laid-back home base for experiencing the best of AMI.
Inside, natural light fills every room, creating an airy, relaxed vibe. The open-concept living space is ideal for lounging or gathering, while the fully equipped kitchen makes mealtimes a breeze with sleek appliances, generous counter space, and all the essentials. Enjoy breakfast with a breeze on your private balcony or sit down for a cozy meal inside after a day in the sun.
Step into the backyard oasis and you'll find a shared tropical escape. The large pool is perfect for floating the day away or cooling off with a drink in hand. Heated during the slightly cooler season and chilled during the summer. Comfortable lounge seating surrounds the pool, inviting you to soak in the Florida sun or unwind in the shade. Fire up the BBQ grill for easy island-style dinners, and don't forget—pets are welcome, so your furry family member can enjoy the adventure too.
Location is everything, and at Holmes Getaway, you're just 1.5 blocks from the beach and moments from local favorites. Walk to beachside cafés, browse charming shops, grab a cone from the local ice cream parlor, or catch a live band while the sun sets. You're also close to parks, bike rentals, paddleboard spots, and the free island trolley—making it effortless to explore everything AMI has to offer.
Whether you're visiting for a romantic escape, a family getaway, or a sun-soaked retreat with friends, Holmes Getaway offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and island simplicity. Slow down, breathe deep, and savor the laid-back luxury of life on Anna Maria Island—this is the coastal escape you've been craving.
