About this property

Breakers 3 · Gulf Front · 28-Night Minimum

VRC20-000178

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 8 · Direct Gulf Front · Elevated Position · Full-Length Deck · Private Sand Path to Beach · 2025 Renovation · Rollaway Beds · 3-Car Parking · 28-Night Minimum Stay

Before booking: Breakers 3 requires a 28-night minimum stay. It's not a weekly rental — it's a property for guests who want to settle into Anna Maria Island for a month. If that's you, read on.

This is one of the last remaining Old Florida beach homes on Anna Maria Island — elevated, Gulf-front, and standing on the same stretch of Holmes Beach while newer construction has replaced nearly everything around it. The 2025 renovation brought new bathrooms and fresh bedroom flooring throughout while keeping the wood-paneled character and the bones that make this home what it is. Photos are being updated to reflect the 2025 renovation — the current images don't yet show the full improvements.

The deck spans the entire length of the home. Full width, elevated above the sand, with panoramic Gulf views in both directions. This is where the month happens — morning coffee, afternoon reading, evening sunsets, and the kind of unhurried outdoor living that a 28-night stay makes possible in a way a week never can. A private sand path at the corner of the property leads directly to a quieter, more secluded stretch of beach — less foot traffic than the main access points, which matters when you're here for a month.

The home sleeps eight across three bedrooms. The master suite has a king bed with Gulf views and an en-suite bath. Guest Room 1 has a king bed. Guest Room 2 has two full beds plus two rollaway beds — the most flexible sleeping configuration in the property for families whose needs change over a longer stay. The living area has vaulted ceilings, original wood-panel details, and a smart TV.

The kitchen is fully equipped for a month of meals at home — which is what most guests end up doing, because the location makes it easy. Publix and everyday conveniences are nearby. The free Anna Maria Island trolley stops close by for exploring the full length of the island. Three-car parking means the whole group arrives in their own vehicles without coordinating drop-offs.

Breakers 3 requires a 28-night minimum stay with parking for 3 vehicles. Not pet-friendly.

You are vacationing in a residential area, please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due.

Spectacular location with gorgeous sunsets every night. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Master BR very large and comfortable. Only minor complaints were soft mattresses in BRs #2 & #3, and no gas grill.

We appreciate your 5 star review for Breakers 1. This home’s owner takes great care to ensure her home has all the amenities to meet guest’s needs. This past week she replaced the Weber charcoal grill. The grill is replaced on a regular schedule so It is always in good condition. We have shared your comments about the mattresses with the owner. We are happy you enjoyed your time spent on Anna Maria Island.

Location,Location,Location - Amazing gulf access and view

The house is right off the gulf with great access, view and nice deck. The house is older but the kitchen has been updated and is incredibly well-stocked with nice pots/pans/dishes/utensils. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms are not updated. The windows/glass doors are older and get drafty so temperatures vary from guest bedrooms to Master bedroom which has double glass doors and faces the gulf. We happened to be there during a cooler and windier month. We would definitely rent again! The location, view , beds and kitchen made it very special.

Felt like home but with a view that our home doesn't offer!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our original rental had electrical issues that resulted in us having to move the very next day. We were moved to Breakers 3 and will say it was better than the first unit for view, cleanliness and overall quality. Jason from maintenance helped us remain safe and positive! Very professional staff overall! This is a monthly rental which does seem to make a difference in quality with less turnover. Leave it better than you found it, always! With appreciation, Nancy & Tom

Home away from Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Definitely much busier time of year to visit with lots of activity. The cleaning staff could have done a better job; cleaning out debris from kitchen drawers and organizing the kitchen cabinets took the first 30 minutes of our vacation. Additional cleaning of beds and baths another 30 minutes. After that, it was ready for us to enjoy and relax, which we did.

And the Rental agency is top notch in terms of fixing quickly anything that needs maintenance. Since we rented for a month, we paid for extra housekeeping and that company was easy to work with and they did a nice job. We have stayed here before and will stay again!
