About this property

Our Waterfront Home Is All Ready Just For You!

This is the Florida view you have been dreaming of...
Single family home situated at the end of a natural canal with a view over the water. Sit outside, fish off our dock, take out the kayaks, or just walk steps across the street to the beach!

If you have a boat, you can dock it right outside the house! Private neighborhood boat ramp access six houses to the left. Room for boat trailer in our driveway. Our dock can accommodate a boat with a 9ft beam, 26ft LOA.

Set off in your own boat and you are 1/4 mile from fishing in the grass flats, 20 mins from the north tip of Anna Maria Island (Bean Point) and from there, 3 miles to the first reef.

We have several ocean kayaks for your enjoyment. Launch from our dock and see the manatees right outside. Our neighborhood, has a private boat ramp about six houses to the right of the water view.

We live in nearby Tampa, Florida and we are happy to make sure you enjoy our piece of paradise as much as we do. Please let us know if you need information about local points of interest, instructions with the home, or if there is something we have overlooked to make your stay enjoyable.

Our neighborhood is very quiet with many permanent residents. You will find peace and quiet in the evenings. Two churches (Catholic and Episcopal) are within close walking distance.

Beach access is only 300 steps away! Our home sits on one of the narrowest parts of the island, so the Gulf and Bay are very close together!

You are located very near to Manatee Avenue and Gulf Drive. Very closely located to Publix Supermarket, beach stores and restaurants. Bike lanes are available on the island.
Free trolly pick-up 50 yards from our home.

Beach chairs, wagon and beach towels are supplied. Dishwasher and Laundry detergents are provided.

We offer a level 2 EV charger powered by our own solar system.
So bring your Electric Vehicle and power up for free.

There is a camera mounted to the outside of the house facing the channel. The camera is solely for the purpose to monitor the channel and our boat. Should the renter desire so, the camera can be disabled for the duration of the stay.

The maximum permissible noise level is 65 decibels (e.g., a normal conversation) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and 50 decibels (quiet conversation) between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. of the next day. No excessive, boisterous, or repetitive noise (e.g., shouting, yelling, screaming) is permitted. These noises can deprive neighboring persons of peaceful enjoyment of their property. A violation of the city's noise control ordinance shall subject the violator to the issuance of a notice of violation or citation.

Best stay on AMI.

Stayed at Oliver’s place 3 or 4 times now. Can’t say enough good things about the gouse and the host. Oliver welcomed us in person and made sure we got settled. Clean, well apportioned with a great waterfront location where wildlife abounds and the views are great. Kayaks are available for guests to use and we did. What fun! Thank, Oliver for hosting us for a great vacation once again. Burt and Liz

AMI Gem

This is our 5th year staying here and we consider it our "home away from home". It is living the good life -- water view, resident manatee, flying fish, variety of birds, proximity to the Gulf. The owner is available and responsive and the time always passes too quickly.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was immaculately clean with a spacious living area and lovely comfortable bedrooms with modern bathrooms. We also appreciated the view of the bay. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to returning!

Piece/Peace of Heaven!

This property has everything you know you want, and will surprise you with the things you hadn't thought of! First: the house -it's beautiful with (literally) everything you need. Immaculate! Second: the porch and dock - it was hard to peel ourselves away for the short walk to the beach (and we're beach people!). From watching the abundant manatees, to taking in the beautiful vista from the perfect outdoor furnishings, to kayaking around the inlet - it was a slice of paradise. The house is one block to the most beautiful, wide beach with crystal clear aqua water. It is also an easy bike ride or golf cart trip into the more bustling pace of the Anna Maria downtown. This house had everything we wanted and more - with the additional bonus of a super-responsive and accommodating owner who was just a short text or call away if we needed him. Our only regret is not coming sooner - and if we're lucky enough to come back to Anna Maria, we know exactly where we're staying. We wouldn't even dream of another place!

Highly recommend! Had a great stay!

We had a lovely stay. It’s a well furnished home sited on the water at the edge of a canal. It’s also just a few steps to a gorgeous beach with amazing sunset views. It’s very well equipped. The owner has thought of everything. The two decks overlooking the water offer a great spot to read, sun and have a toast.

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay!

This property was everything it advertised and so much more! This was our 1st time staying in Anna Maria Island and I can truly say it won’t be our last! My favorite part of this house was just sitting with my cup of coffee or glass of wine on balcony and looking at that stunning view! I loved watching the boats coming and going, loved seeing the Manatee come close to our dock, loved watching my kids kayaking right out from dock while I sat on the balcony! The owner Oliver kept in touch with me before we even arrived to his home to make sure we had an easy arrival and continued to reach out to me throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and make sure everything was good for us! The house was very clean on inside and everything was up to date! The house was decorated very nice and new! I felt very comfortable and at home from the moment I walked in! Master bedroom has a king bed and is comfortable! Master bath connected to room was very nice and I’m definitely getting a shower head like that one when I get home! So relaxing! Second bedroom was a queen and comfortable also! 2nd Bathroom very nice also! Kitchen was all up to date appliances and had everything we needed and more! Overall this was a wonderful property and we will definitely stay here again !

Wonderful stay in Holmes Beach

We stayed 2 weeks in Holmes Beach. The property is a perfect location. It is so close to the beach, water, restaurants, grocery. The home was very comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Favorite house on AMI

This was our 3rd stay at Oliver’s place which says it all. He has a beautiful home that has everything you need. Bathrooms are updated and beds are comfortable. We absolutely love sitting on his deck overlooking the water watching the manatees, herons and egrets. We had fun using his kayaks. The location is perfect….on the bay, close to the grocery store, but well off the main road. Oliver ensures you have a very comfortable stay and is responsive to any questions. We hope to be able to stay there again.

Wonderful Place to Stay

Enjoyed our 4 week stay (March) at this ulra-clean well-equipped home in Holmes Beach. Amazingly quiet even though it is only a block away from the busiest road in town. The less than 5 minute walk to the 45th St beach entrance was made even easier with the beach wagon to hold the chairs toys, etc provided by owner. Beach is beautiful and uncrowded. Home has a cook's kitchen with nice appliances and ample cooking stuff. 2 well-furnished outdoor seating areas on different levels feature great views of the bay. Made use of the several kayaks to go exploring and loved seeing the resident family of manatees up close ( several feet away close) that were around almost every day of our stay. Also, had close encounters with osprey, great blue herons, parrots, and other assorted bird-life. Beds were comfortable and the huge great room overlooking the canal was perfect. Nothing but good things to say about this home.

Buena Vista

Buena Vista was a great home with a beautiful view of a small harbor on Tampa Bay. And only a three minute walk to the beach on the Gulf. This was our second time there in part because Oliver was so nice and attentive and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to returning next year to "our home away from home".

Perfect get away

We couldn’t of had a better place to stay. Located central on the island you have the inter coastal in the backyard and the beach is just across the street. We kept our boat right behind the house at the dock. The house was clean and perfectly set up. The kitchen has everything you need plus plus. The views are amazing. We enjoyed watching the family of manatees in the canal from the rocking chairs on the balcony. Oliver is an exceptional host and we can’t wait to come back.
