Description

Steps from the Sand | Relaxed Island Escape

Located just steps from the sugar-white sands of Holmes Beach, this inviting three-bedroom, two-bath retreat offers a relaxed island atmosphere with the convenience of being close to shops, restaurants, and the free island trolley. Perfect for families and small groups, it blends comfort, functionality, and an unbeatable location on Anna Maria Island.

The interior features warm Spanish tile floors and an open layout that flows seamlessly between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. A fully equipped kitchen makes meal preparation a breeze, whether for hearty family breakfasts or light bites before heading to the beach. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed, including a primary suite with an ensuite Jack-and-Jill bathroom and access to a private patio—ideal for quiet morning coffee or an evening wind-down.

The second bedroom offers another king bed, while the third bedroom provides fun sleeping space with a twin-over-twin bunk plus an additional twin, making it perfect for kids or extra guests. With two full bathrooms and an in-home washer and dryer, the space is designed for ease and convenience during longer stays.

Outside, unwind on the main patio where ocean breezes set the tone for laid-back afternoons and casual evenings. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the Gulf shoreline or a quick trolley ride to local hotspots like Bean Point, Pine Avenue, and Coquina Beach.

This property is also pet-friendly, so you don’t need to leave furry family members behind when you come to enjoy the island lifestyle. Whether you’re visiting to relax, explore, or simply recharge by the sea, this Holmes Beach escape captures the essence of Anna Maria Island living.

Ideal location and cherished memories

The host opened up their home at the last moment for our family which was so gracious of them! We were supposed to stay at the Luxury Gulfport home in Gulf Port Fl, but the host cancelled our reservation at the last minute to take a more lucrative opportunity from another site. The host of Steps from the Sand was extremely responsive, helpful and welcoming. Their house was cozy and intimate and couldn't have been more perfectly located -- literally steps from the sand! We had a most memorable week with perfect weather and the water was so clear and inviting. We spent hours each day in the water and enjoyed loads of fun. We took lots of family photos as the sun was setting and will have so many cherished memories.”
