1BR · 1BA · Sleeps 4 · Direct Gulf Front · Private Patio · 2025 Renovation · King Bed · Wine Fridge · Beach Chairs Provided · Charcoal Grill · 1-Gig WiFi · Walk to Publix
Your toes in the sand within seconds. Four Beach Lovers Unit 1 is a completely renovated gulf-front retreat in Holmes Beach where the beach isn't just close — it's right there. Step off your private patio and you're standing on white sand with the turquoise Gulf of Mexico stretching before you.
Unit 1 faces southwest, directly on the Gulf. That means front-row sunsets every evening, dolphin sightings from your patio most mornings, and a quiet, uncrowded stretch of beach that guests describe as some of the best on the island. This isn't beach access or a short walk to the water — it's the water.
The 2025 renovation took everything down to the studs and rebuilt it. Solar Powered. New kitchen with full-size appliances, dishwasher, and a wine fridge for chilling a bottle before sunset. New bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and modern fixtures. All new furnishings, new linens, and new smart TVs in the bedroom and living room. The result is a fresh, modern space that still feels like a genuine beach cottage — because it is one.
The king bedroom is a peaceful retreat with its own smart TV. The living room sofa sleeper comfortably handles two more guests, sleeping four in total. Fast 1-gig WiFi and a full cable package make this equally functional for remote workers and families weathering a rainy afternoon.
The patio is where most guests spend most of their time. Beach chairs are stored in the shed — grab them and you're on the sand in seconds. Charcoal grills are available onsite for beachside cookouts. There's no better place on the island to eat dinner than your own patio at sunset with the Gulf in front of you.
Four Beach Lovers has four units total. Units 1 and 2 face the Gulf; Units 3 and 4 offer garden views. The property's tropical landscaping, gazebo with fountain, and old-fashioned porch swings make the grounds feel like a small, private resort.
Holmes Beach puts you in the quieter, more local part of Anna Maria Island. Publix is a couple of blocks away. Walgreens and a small shopping center are nearby. The free island trolley stops close by — explore the full length of AMI without moving your car once you've parked.
Guests have made Four Beach Lovers their annual tradition — some returning four, five, even twelve years running. They book their next stay before they leave. The location keeps them coming back. The 2025 renovation gives them something brand new to come back to.
Four Beach Lovers Unit 1 requires a one-week minimum stay and includes parking for one car. This property is not pet-friendly.
Noise Ordinance: You are vacationing in a residential area, the quiet hours are 10 PM-7 AM. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.
