About this property

2 MIN WALK TO GULF BEACHES, LG HEATED POOL, XLG LANAI - GAS GRILL and More

Whispering Palms Villa at North Beach Village is a bright and sunny, tastefully decorated beach style townhouse located in a quiet col de sac on Gulf Drive. It is a quick 2 minute walk to the famous white sugary sand beaches of the Gulf.

Enjoy the large sunny open deck with a peak of the Gulf off the main living area for your morning coffee. After a long day sunning at the gorgeous teal waters of the beach rinse off in the private outdoor shower and relax for awhile on the oversized private lanai surrounded by palms off the dining area and have a cocktail or watch some TV!

Quiet col de sac on Gulf Drive makes it safe for kids. Beach is steps away. Oversized heated pool surrounded by a lush tropical setting for North Beach Village residents and guests. Restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Safe for kids, bike riding and walking. Easily walk about 5 blocks to Holmes Beach Park facilities (tennis courts, basketball court, boat launch, and open play space). You have access to the entire home.
Private parking for 3 cars (one car in garage and 2 cars under open front deck) is available.

FREE Trolley service on Anna Maria Island. One of the trolley stops is located across the street to the entrance of North Beach Village on Gulf Drive. It is super convenient to travel the island from one end to the other from 6:00 AM until 10:00 PM. Go touring, pick up your groceries or go out to dinner and have a drink.

The Monkey Bus is another free island
transportation services on Anna Maria Island, Florida, and to surrounding areas (Cortez, Sarasota, Longboat Key, Bradenton.)

Traumatic wanted to leave as soon as we arrived!
Arrived to a grimy ,dirty house, sofa stained, rugs huge stains, paintwork flaking off mattress stains, broken queen bed. Dirty stained sun-loungers, outdoor rusty sun sign left on floor , garage with rusty washer and broken chairs. Two cleaners sent to deep clean took over 12 hours to clean through house. Sofas steam cleaned to remove stains another day. DIY guy screwed broken bed in top floor still broken rocks too and fro. The worst is the badly stained mattresses look under the cover they need replacing, awful to think you sleep on them . Wanted to leave property on checking in! owner refused and left us to holiday in 5 out of 9 days living in cleaning and trying to repair what should have been done before arrival. The worst is thinking you sleep on stained mattresses , we stayed out as long as possible as we didn’t want to come back to this property.

We have been going to Anna Maria Island since 1987 and purchased our vacation rental in 1999. We raised our 3 children on the Island for many vacations. Our parents and many friends have stayed at our home on the Island and have made as many memories as we have over the years. Our place of residence is in Connecticut. We would love you to share our home!
