We had the best time staying just steps away from the beach! This was the best location with easy access to the free trolley and across the street from beach access. There were beach chairs available and a beach wagon to carry your stuff! We will definitely be booking again!

Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable with great access to the beach. Our host, Lisa, was very responsive to our needs.

Property was exactly as described in listing. Very clean, enough kitchen equipment to cook when needed and comfortable beds. Location was ideal—right across from the beach and steps away from the trolley stop. However, no outlets in either bathroom, which made using a blow dryer difficult. Nothing fancy, but would stay again.

Very nice unit with a 90 second walk to beach. Very easy short walk. Unit was very clean and great water pressure in both showers. Unit had 4 brand new “Tommy Bahama” style low beach chairs with arm rest / pockets and head pillow. Great and easy communication with unit manager. We loved everything about this unit and location and hope to return. Weather, ocean and food was all excellent.

Super new beach chairs - thanks so much! New Air conditioner in bedroom - another plus! Improved plumbing in bathrooms - yeah! Not so good - Kitchen faucet is "stiff" and the spray handle wasn't working. 3 cockroaches... We'll be back next year!

We are grateful for the amazing opportunity to stay at this property! It was our first vacation in many years and our first to AMI. In the best possible way- if you are high maintenance seeking concierge service and a cabana with poolside attendants- this is not the place for you! There are plenty of places you can find that on the island… If you are seeking a gem of a place to relax with incredible beach access, close proximity to the free trolley stop, decent wifi and cable, clean and quiet- this is a place for you! Yes, the reviews about the loud ac and dated decor are true if you are concerned about that sort of thing… we preferred having the windows open and using the ceiling fans. And if the couch and beds are clean and comfortable, I could care less about the floral patterns or lack there of. The owners are decent humans and to provide a piece of old Florida at an amazing price speaks to the kind of old school down home feel you will get staying here. We didn’t have a car for our stay but there is plenty of parking. The trees are beautiful but you can still get sun sitting on the patio if you’d like and see stars at night if you want without leaving the property. I have trouble walking and having the beach so easy to access was a dream! You walk across a 2 lane street l, and about a block to the sand. There are some benches there and there are beach chairs etc the property owners provide too. We prepared a meal a day during our stay and everything worked well, stove, oven, microwave, fridge, coffee maker… even a washer and dryer are in the unit. We are already looking at our plans for next year :)

My fiance and I were looking for a place to stay at for an entire week, where we couls telework in the mornings and hit the beach in the afternoon, and this place did not dissapoint. We had the beach at a walking distance, the property was fully equippes with beach essentials for our use (i.e. towels, beach cart, umbrellas, and chairs), reliable internet and all ammenities needed in the house for a long stay. I fully recommend!

This place is classic Florida. It’s a little dated but overall a good place to stay. The location is great and Lisa was super nice.

Holmes Beach is charming! The bungalow is an older property and could use some updating. It was a terrific location and about a 2 minute walk to the beach! Lisa was very accommodating as a host and responsive!

This unit is very clean and well equipped. Great location for the beach and many eating establishments. Nice area outside to sit and enjoy a meal. Keyless entry is great. We will be returning.
