We recently stayed at this home in Holmes Beach with our family of four. Overall, the house was adequate and served our needs well. The location is a major highlight—it's an easy walk to the beach, so there's no need to drive a car or golf cart. The house provided a wagon, cooler, and some basic beach gear, which made trips to the beach convenient. There are not shops or restaurants within walking distance, but an easy drive to these as well as a Publix on the island. I also had a Wal-Mart delivery made to the house the morning after our arrival. One thing to note is that the layout seems best suited for a single family. Upon arrival, I was a bit surprised by the amount of wear and tear throughout the property. Everything functioned properly during our stay, but the home could benefit from some general TLC and paint updates.The laundry area is located in a Rubbermaid shed behind the house, which wasn't the most convenient setup. However, the washer and dryer appeared to be newer models and worked very well.The pool area was beautiful and surrounded by lush vegetation, but the landscaping resulted in quite a bit of debris in the pool throughout our stay. The pool itself could use a deep cleaning and some maintenance, as there were visible signs of age.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the close proximity to the beach. With some updates and maintenance, this property could be even more enjoyable for future guests.
