A guest had this to day: "Songbird is a cute little purple house on a quiet side street on Anna Maria Island. I referred to the house as little, it is really quite spacious & comfortable. This is our 6th stay at Songbird & we are looking forward to our next stay. This trip we were on side B but have also stayed on Side A, both are equally as nice. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking essentials. Pots, pans, coffee maker, toaster, blender etc. There is also a charcoal BBQ in the backyard. The living room is open and airy with a love-seat, comfortable couch & a large TV. The master bedroom has a king bed with a comfortable and supportive mattress. Nightstands, a dresser and closet gives plenty of room to unpack so you won\`t feel like you are living out of your suitcase while staying here. The 2nd bedroom is quite large & has twin beds. According to my daughter and travel companion the beds and room are very comfortable. Washer & dryer are located in a porch outback and shared with people renting the other side of the house. We have never had a problem with this, as knowing it is shared anyone keeps their eye on the laundry and removes it as soon as it is finished. The wi-fi reaches the backyard and there is free US/Canada wide long distance on the house phone. I hope this helps with your decision to stay here. We highly recommend it." Is it perfect? No way, but it is clean and comfortable. 1\. The Gulf beach access is 4 blocks but 3 are short blocks and it ends up being 3 in length and having done it a number of times you cut the corners at 64th street and Holmes Blvd and when you arrive at Gulf Drive and 65th there is the beach access and a few parking places. The real good thing is that you don't cross Marina Drive \[busy street\]. Some guests have driven over and parked or dropped off people and headed back to Songbird and walked back to the beach access. 2\. Located in the middle of the block on a quiet street. 3\. Free fast wifi and Washer and Dryer at no charge. Hair dryer also. 4\. Everpure H-300 under sink mounted water filter with glass filler faucet and hooked up to the ice maker too. 5\. There is central air installed in 2019. 6\. New refrigerator 2025 with automatic ice maker in the freezer. New stove and microwave too. 7\. The BBQ is a charcoal type 2025 and I do not supply coals. 8\. The kitchen has been updated with upper white cabinets in early 2000's and is fully stocked with cooking utensils and almost always salt and pepper. Also all linens, towels and so on. 9\. New base kitchen cabinets 2025 with a very quiet dishwasher. Quartz countertops. 10\. House landline phone provided for local calls and free long distance to North America and Territories. Canadians like this idea a lot. 11\. New 2025 King Bed mattress and box spring. New 2025 medium firm twin mattresses and box springs Maximum 4 people and maximum 3 adults minimum age 25. 12\. The closest restaurant Ugly Grouper is about 5 blocks and is popular. Scott’s Deli is 3 blocks and top shelf Key Lime Pie. 13\. 7 blocks to Island Shopping Center \[think 1960\] with restaurants, clothing stores, hardware store, art gallery, parrots and more. 14\. Holmes Beach public library is 5 blocks away. Sweet library! 15\. Updated kitchen and bath fixtures 2025 16\. No stairs here as an easy living ground level place. 17\. TV is a 65" flat thin screen 2025\. Samsung QLED 18\. 2 bedrooms and 1 Bathroom with step-in shower. 19\. No pets and no smoking. A number of people verify no pets as they have allergies and, yes, no pets. 20\. The cleaner has been cleaning for about 3 years and does nice work. 21\. The patio is covered and has a table with chairs. 22\. Outdoor shower when home from the beach. 23\. I supply dish soap, dishwasher pods, hand soap, one or more rolls of paper towels, more than one roll of TP, dish sponge, laundry soap no scent and garbage bags. 24\. A free trolley has a stop 1 block away to go north and a stop to go south is 3 blocks at the beach access. 6am-10pm and runs at 20 minute intervals. 25\. Parking space for two cars. 26\. Backyard is a nice size. I have found that people arrive and unload luggage and head to the beach. The busiest street on the island in this spot is Marina Drive and you do NOT cross it on the way to the beach. The access is a 3-4 block stroll. And the property is located in the middle of the street not on a busy corner or street. Again, thank you for your time. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels - Beach umbrellas ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Limited on-site parking (max 2 spaces) ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Freezer - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Grab bar in bathtub - Grab bar in shower - No lift (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Smoke outside. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76170000/76162500/76162438/13308c61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Resort Sixty-Six Holmes Beach - Pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-27&endDate=2026-02-28&selected=76162438&PinnedHotelID=76162438&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/125000000/124280000/124271600/124271586/99b40ea5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 BR Relaxing Beachside Condo w/ Pool Access Holmes Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-27&endDate=2026-02-28&selected=124271586&PinnedHotelID=124271586&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33250000/33248800/33248734/92359e19.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps to the Beach with Shared Heated Salt Pool and Private Backyard & Grill Holmes Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 144 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-27&endDate=2026-02-28&selected=33248734&PinnedHotelID=33248734&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89510000/89506300/89506286/1d7be633.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Endless Summer- On Pine Ave, steps to beach & pier w/ water view & dock Anna Maria - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-27&endDate=2026-02-28&selected=89506286&PinnedHotelID=89506286&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94670000/94663700/94663686/35fc891b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bo’s Beach Bungalow!

The house is as described and has everything you need. Kitchen is well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable. No beach chairs since Helene, but we honestly didn't need them because we spent all of our time in the beautiful water! Beach access was very easy and we never had trouble finding somewhere to park. PSA : Rent a golf cart! We had a wonderful week at Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars and are already planning our next visit. Hopefully sooner than later! Joel was great with communicating with me before, during and after our stay. Even with my silly questions! He's a great host and we look forward to renting from him again soon! ##### Jenna Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jim a. 13 Apr 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect beach getaway Wow, we had the time of our lives here.

It is also very well placed to get to the beach, local shops and restaurants and the free Anna Maria trolley. There may well be some smarter homes for rental on the island but not at this sort of price and Joel is great to deal with, he makes sure that his guests are well informed and happy with all aspects of the rental. ##### susan j. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Y. 23 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Did it really have to end?

We stayed at the Songbird, side B, the last week of February and wish it could have been longer. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for 2\. It is in a great loction. Joel called a few times while we were there to see if we needed anything. He is a wealth of information for resturants, activities, etc. One day we went to Brandenton for a spring training baseball game which was so much fun. We rode the bikes to resturants and to the beach every day. The island is so beautiful. We hope to return again during the winter months. ##### Darla B.

Joel is absolutely wonderful to work with! We stayed through tropical storm Debby, and still had a terrific time. The cottage was well stocked with books and movies to carry us through the rainy days. The bikes were so much fun, we enjoyed exploring the island with them. There was always something to do, we loved the free trolley, I think we only actually drove once all week. Captain Kathe's Pup Pup tour was amazing, she was very fun and laid back. We have two children ages 10 and 17 and there was something for everyone. They are still talking about the trip and we can not wait to return!

The cottage was very cozy and clean with all the comforts of home.Being a 5 minute walk from a beautiful beach was certainly a plus. We made well use of the bikes,they were extremely handy. Two coconuts fell of the tree and we had a tough but a fun time cracking them open,once we did they were delicious.With a full kitchen we were able to cook lots of great meals,we also Barbequed a lot! Joel,thank you so much for the great service you provided us.The directions and instructions you gave were easy to follow and your fun suggestions were very useful. A perfect place to stay on a very beautiful Island, definitely will return and tell friends and family about a perfect Vacation. Thank you,Joel!!

It was exceptionally clean; and was light and airy with an open floor plan The comfy, sturdy furniture was welcome after a wonderful day at the beach. The well-equipped kitchen did not lack a utensil. The wi-fi was strong and fast. My restaurant of choice, Sandbar, was gulf-side where you could have your feet in the white sand or sit inside with the AC and watch the sun set. There were many photo opportunities of shorebirds, sunrises and sunsets. The lack of high rises is one great asset of this fine island of Anna Maria. The owner was very attentive and accommodating ensuring I was happy, relaxed and everything was in order. I have already recommended this fine property to friends. While away from home I felt as though I was at home!

Awaiting us was an amazing experience. Arrival and check in was easy without confusion or hassle. The unit was clean and fully stocked we were left wanting nothing. The unit had recently been fitted with air-conditioning which made the stay that much more enjoyable. Had it not been there are ceiling fans in all the major rooms as well. The two bedrooms are spacious with plenty of closet space. The kitchen was well equipped with all the appliances and utensils necessary. All linens and household items were provided and easily accessible. Not to mention the use of the bikes were a great way to see the island and enjoy the day. For those couch potatoes or evening snugglers the tv and entertainment center was great with enough sitting room for a large group of people. Songbird is a great place to stay and the owners are helpful and available to answer any questions or deal with any problems though we had none. This is definitely a place we plan on coming back to. ##### Mr P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rene 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Saubere wegen des Miltonhurricanes mit allem neu eingerichtete Unterkunft. Aussenherum waren noch nicht alle Baustellen fertig gestellt.
