First off, the location cannot be beat - you are just a few steps from the beach, but then also walking distance to great local spots for food (Vinny's in particular is a favorite). The place is very well stocked, we also work remote and the WIFI is really good (we can both be in online meetings at the same time with no issues). ##### Audrey W.

Well appointed unit, but king mattress was extra soft for us (and we sleep on memory foam at home). Appreciated the washer and dryer. Front entry keypad was tempermental! Location: mid-island and short walk to beautiful Holmes Beach. However, there was some noise from the bar/restaurant parking lot behind the unit on the weekend. Half bathroom downstairs was convenient and two upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom. ##### Lisa H.

Really enjoyed our stay, nice and comfortable lots of room in the unit. Most of all there is a front loader washer and dryer. Just like home. Walking distance to the beach and white sands of Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island. Would love to stay longer but there is no place like home, except here. Highly recommended for winter or summer and people of any age, just make sure you can climb stairs to go to the bedrooms. Love it here great place and very reasonable for the area and the space provided. Trolley just up the street to take you most anywhere on the island.

Clean and homey, this updated place is literally 200 steps, or 4 driveways from the big open beautiful Holmes Beach waterfront. It's also just a 5 min quick walk to 6 great restaurants, hardware store, bike rentals, shopping and most importantly the Ice Cream Shop. A bike ride away from the grocery store. We had everything we needed, a nice back patio with shaded yard, front patio, grill and all the beach amenities were provided, chairs umbrellas, noodles. Location Location Location. Host was super responsive and we had everything we needed for a very relaxing low key comfortable 10 days at the beach. Thanks Barb for being a great host! I'll be back! ##### Elizabeth R. Stayed 10 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth R., Deerfield Il 12 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Once again - Paradise - Crystal Clear Blue Waters on a Clean Beach! Like it so much last yr, we stayed 12 days this yr! Location, location, location, if you want to be right near the beach AND very close to town - a very easy walk to both. Owner was both helpful and responsive to any questions about the home or area. It's got everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. This place is cute, comfy and very private in a residential area with lots of outdoor space in the back, side and front. Great new patios (front & back) with outdoor shower, grill, grassy lounging and sitting areas with a nice umbrella table on the patio - under blooming trees. Like a bird and gecko sanctuary! Literally 4 driveway walk to peaceful, quiet and beautiful Holmes Beach. Limited neighborhood public parking so it's a fairly quiet area and beach access - esp on weekdays. About three driveways from restaurants (love Hurricane Hanks), Minnies, Hardware store and shops. Traffic in town of Holmes Beach is horrendous - so walkers and bikers be careful. Did not help that lots of heavy road & cable construction in town (May 2023) caused traffic, dust and lots of night time noise (could not hear any of it from inside the townhouse - thank goodness). Townhome is very clean, comfortable and everything was in good working order. Tastefully decorated with a beach vibe but not overdone! Kitchen is nicely stocked with all utensils that you need to prepare meals or grill, but no basic food stocked so you do have to start from scratch. Loved every minute! ##### Elizabeth R.

We have been coming to Anna Maria for years. On fact we used to stay in the unit next to the one labels "200 steps to the beach". The place this year was perfect and we would like to return next year! Well Done! ##### Debbie B.

I am unhappy that apparently policy has changed that current renters are not given first option to rent the following year. Before I left, I wanted to rent next year but found it was already booked. Very disappointing. ##### JO J. Stayed 13 nights in Dec 2021 ---
