About this property

Steps to the Beach with Shared Heated Salt Pool and Private Backyard & Grill


Palm Oasis Villa West is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath ground level condo that is walking distance to pristine Gulf beaches. This duplex villa has lush tropical landscaping and the heated shared pool is surrounded by a privacy fence. It is located in a quiet and desirable part of the island. Relax in the chaise loungers before you fire up your own BBQ grill for your favorite grill specials. Each unit has its own private back yard with a 6 person dining table and grill. There is plenty of brick paver deck space to soak up the Florida sunshine! This property can be rented together with its neighboring Villa East property VRBO 1411133 to serve as a family retreat, providing a level of privacy that a single-family home does not offer. Also, this is a perfect Villa duplex for in-laws or grandparents.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed. The second bedroom has twin beds and one has a pullout trundle bed. This unit comfortably sleeps 4 adults. The trundle is recommended for a child.

This home is centrally located on Anna Maria Island. You can walk to shopping, restaurants, free trolley stop and of course the beautiful white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

Palm Oasis is the perfect "home away from home" vacation spot for you and your family.

Required city of Holmes Beach advisement:

You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectable level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive residence f the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Beautiful house and pool. We had a great time and the kids loved being so close to the ocean. The house is nestled in the heart of Holmes Beach and only a 5 min gold cart ride to either end of the island. Great stay and will book again.

Beautiful area

The property was beautiful. Nice and quiet area. We lucked out and had the property to ourselves, which was nice not having to share the pool. We enjoyed the gorgeous landscaping of the property, and the area as a whole. Will totally go back!

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Could use new pillows and would be nice to have a full body floaty for the beautiful pool but other than that, great location. Nice place to grill and eat in back too. Comfortable couch that seated 4 nicely for March Madness. Thanks for having us.

Wonderful property! Will most definitely stay again.

It was a very short (2-3 minute) walk to the beach. The house was decorated so cute with a beach vibe and had great amenities. Plenty of room in the pool even when sharing with guests from the other side. It would be a fun place if you had a large group to rent both sides. King sized bed had the best (firm) mattress of anywhere I have ever stayed.

Adorable home close to the beach

This was our first time to Anna Maria Island and we had a great experience. Our kids were in the pool constantly. Since we flew to FL, we appreciated that the owners provided a beach wagon, umbrella, chairs and toys for the kids. Also beach towels! The home was clean and had all the essentials making it convenient for us (kitchen supplies/washer/dryer/plenty of bath towel/tp) We were able to walk to Holmes Beach within a couple of minutes and it was so nice to be able to go to the other beaches on the island and you didn’t travel far! Would highly recommend this location, we will return if we make it back to AMI!

Clean Cool & Quiet Home away from Home

We enjoyed our stay here. The pool was the perfect to cool off after laying in the sun. The place felt clean, cool, and quiet which was the perfect combo for our getaway. The walk to the beach is approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds.. what more can you ask for? The kitchen is well stocked with cooking essentials. Fast/attentive communication with the owner if necessary. For our first stay in AMI, we were quite pleased with these accommodations!

The owner was good on communication, and the property itself is beautiful—especially the pool scene.However, there are areas where the experience could be improved. First, it would be helpful to clearly state in the listing that the home is a duplex. Throughout the week, we were unsure if the other side was also rented, which created unnecessary stress. Clear communication confirming privacy and exclusive use would have gone a long way to relax.The pool crew arrived unannounced, walking in the gate during our laying out and added chemicals without any explanation. Unsure if safe to swim,and left. Ideally, the crew should leave a notice or contact guests in advance.The cleanliness of the pool was another issue. It was not properly cleaned during our stay—there were decayed chicken wings at the bottom of the pool for the entire week, indicating that they had been there well before our arrival. Some wall lights were loose, the garbage disposal not working & the TV box looked like it could fall at any moment. These issues made us worry we’d be blamed for damage that wasn’t our fault. A note would have helped.The A/C can’t be set below 70 or it shuts off, and guests are told they’ll be charged if maintenance is needed. That warning should be sent by text—not just written on a small card—since most people won’t see it. Update these and guests will be more at ease to enjoy. Nice property.

Location and pool were awesome

The location of the property to the beach was excellent. The pool was also a bonus. It was a little hot when we first arrived but the maintenance manager quickly adjusted it down. The owner was very responsive with a few needs we had which is a huge plus. The reason I rated it a 4 is because the house and the beach accessories are in need of updates. Most of the beach chairs were broken or so rusted they couldn't be used. The wagon broke on the first day due to rust as we were on our way back from the beach. But it was replaced the next day! It would be nice for there to be toilet paper, garbage bags and paper towels to be provided. We were not aware we needed to supply those ourselves. Lastly the AC just couldn't keep up. We weren't able to turn it down below 72 so it was pretty stuffy and warm, especially at night. Overall it was a great stay and we thank you for opening your home to us!

Great "home" with perfect location!

We just returned from one weeks stay here and it couldn't have been more perfect. The house was very cute, clean, comfortable, and had everything that our family needed. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware, there were plenty of bath and swim towels, and to our surprise there were even some paper goods and hand/dish/dishwasher soaps. My husband is a chef so we utilized the kitchen, gas grill and back patio table for just about every meal. The location of the property was terrific!! In a quiet residential-like area only about a block away from the beach. We found that 74th Street led us to a non-crowded, serene stretch of beach. The owners were excellent in communication, very accommodating, and helpful with tips about the island (travel, restaurants, fishing, etc.) We had a small issue with a kitchen appliance towards the end of our stay and I texted the property manager - he was very responsive and was able to resolve it immediately. The pool was a real TREAT... it kept the kids busy while dinner was being made and was refreshing after dark. Initially, we weren't sure about sharing the area with neighbors but we ended up with a great family next door. A week of memories were made in sharing that space! We actually made and shared dinner together one evening and plan to keep in touch! While there, we rented bikes from Beach Bum's (so fun,) had a very enjoyable dinner at Slim's Place, delicious tacos from Poppo's Taqueria and a tasty breakfast at Jenny and Jane E's. We cannot wait to return and are entirely grateful for such a jewel of a home at a very reasonable price! Thank you so very much for such a pleasant stay!

Perfect location and great pool

We had two families of four staying at the East and West sides of the duplex. This worked out perfectly with the shared pool/yard. The home had everything we needed. Best of all was the location right across the street from beach access at a less crowded area of the beach! Just a short drive to restaurants and Pine Street shopping! Communication with the owner was great as well!

About the host

Hosted by Jonse Sutana-Shomo

Host profile image
We love Anna Maria and call this property our home for part of the year.

Why they chose this property

In a quiet neighborhood, with easy access to the beach. It has a great pool and landscaping.

What makes this property unique

We (the owners) live here part-time. Most of the island is managed by big corps whose investors will never see - let alone sleep - in the beds they hawk. You get OUR home. Our family dug in those palm trees, and tend to those lime trees. We walk the same stretch of beach, and watch the same sunset, as you. And we love it.
