About this property

Pelican Perch: Tropical Paradise On The Beach Permit VRC17-000168


This quaint cottage is located "on the sand" - 3007 Avenue F Unit 4 at 30th Street on beautiful Holmes Beach. It is the upstairs unit (1 of 2) with a private deck and direct Gulf views. The cottage is very comfortable and sleeps 4 with plenty of space. The cottage is hidden away on a dead end street away from it all, yet close to shopping and restaurants.

The unit has an indoor and shared outdoor shower, fully equipped kitchen and a washer/dryer. The grounds are filled with exotic, tropical plants and a private guest path to the beautiful blue water and white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island.

There is a free trolley that picks up throughout the day and evening located just one block away. The unit is centrally located between Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria where there are also several shopping areas and many restaurants. St. Armand's Circle, Robinson Preserve, Bradenton's Riverwalk, DeSoto National Park and Ringling Museum all make for great local day trips!

Join us at Holmes Beach for the most beautiful sunsets and experience the tradition of Old Florida.

These are older, charming units built in the 50's that we continually update. Housekeepers clean at the beginning and end of each guest stay.

Can't beat the gulf views and the sunsets....

We also offer an downstairs unit #3 through Vrbo #327019.

We absolutely loved this property!! We have stayed downstairs twice, which was nice, however having the balcony to view beach from was huge for us. The only thing I didn't like (and it's certainly not a deal breaker) it would have been nice to have a curtain or shade over the entry door as the sun does beat down into the cottage. Overall this was a great experience for us and we will be back!!!

Beautiful beach, peaceful location, and we enjoyed our family time together. The unit could use some updates, including more comfortable beds, a repair to the loose outlet in the twin bedroom, and clarification of the checkout instructions (which referenced a dishwasher that wasn’t present). The patio door was secured with a wooden dowel rather than a traditional lock, and parking was tight for larger vehicles. Overall, we had a nice stay and appreciated the location.

A towel or two had some stains on it and basic cleaning done, but not anything excessive (fans thick with dust/corners of rooms, etc). Nothing major to complain about. Was as advertised for the most part (said dishwasher, but there wasn't) and had everything we needed for the week! We enjoyed the area, the house, and communication was great - I'd highly recommend and we'd def rent again!!
