Holiday rentals with a kayak in Holmes Beach

Great place to stay, great hosts!

The place is perfect for a short or long stay. The house has all the amenities you will need. The pool was amazing. Everything was clean and spotless. Short ride to the beach and a short ride to downtown. I hope we can go back again!

Stop what you are doing and BOOK THIS PLACE!! Clean and spacious home ✔️ Fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, glasses, condiments, spices, etc) ✔️ Tons of amenities like hot tub, fire pit, egg chairs, hibachi grill, golfing area, etc ✔️ All the beach equipment that you need (chairs, tent, snorkel, masks) ✔️ PLUS the best Host who was always quick to respond to any questions and even installed a new thermostat while we were there because the old one was messing up the temp and we like a cool 70 degrees at home ✔️ And if that wasn’t amazing enough, the host also took us on TWO BOAT TRIPS!!! All we paid for was the gas and any drinks or snacks that we wanted to bring (plus a tip since the boat tours were the highlight of the trip). Vlad knew all the best spots for private island time, snorkeling, and dolphin watching!! In all honesty I spent a fair amount of time trying to decide if I wanted to write an accurate review or gatekeep this hidden gem… I decided not to gatekeep.

Clean and beautiful home, we really enjoyed our stay! The host Lisa was extremely helpful! Definitely recommended 👌🏼

Our stay at Katie's was a wonderful experience. So much to do within the house as well as the backyard. Katie & Terry were both prompt when needed throughout the trip and made us feel at home. Katie also have great recommendations for grocery shopping which made me fall in love with the Amisb Supermarket. Also, great proximty to many attractions. We will most definitely find more time to stay here again!

Carol was such a great host! We had a few questions throughout the stay and she was quick to respond. The space worked out for the 11 of us. We appreciated all the amenities (grill, pool toys, beach supplies, lots of beach towels, etc) and had a great time in the pool. Kids loved all the other activities as well, especially the ski ball.

This home is well- maintained and has lovely outdoor spaces. The artwork in the home was unique and fun, not cookie-cutter or generic. I loved that. The amenities were just what was needed to prepare meals or enjoy ourselves. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable, with friendly neighbors. Overall, this is a great location and property.

This place is worth more than what we paid. Having the docks for fishing and the beach a block away made this place exquisite. The beach was practically empty every day, which is what we loved. Our stay was clean and comfortable. We recommend staying with Cole!

Great old school beach cottage. Perfect for my Son and me. The Capt. and especially the First mate made it 5 stars!

I had the most beautiful time❤️The accommodations were perfect and Kristen is a very gracious host. The settings ideal with a resident horse and cow . There is a grill and a pool and a washer/dryer. The setting is very private and the space is well appointed. Kristen goes out of her way to ensure that a fun, relaxing and memorable time is had. I truly appreciated how pet friendly the property was also. It was beyond perfect😊🌸💕🐴

Cozy, comfortable, yet two stories with plenty space to stretch out, scenic view with a hot tub, nice balcony view for coffee in the morning. Can’t go wrong.

We stayed at this home for 2 weeks and the nature watching was fascinating. Alligators, turtles, birds and fish jumping out of the water. The home was comfortable and included everything one would need. The Wi-Fi was solid for zoom calls and remote work. The kitchen had every dish, pot, utensil for cooking. The AC worked great and the beds were super comfy. The host replied quickly to every question. I would stay here again. 5 stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great gathering place for an extended family to get together. Very short walk to a stunning beach Great for kids. Perfectly located next to a park as well which was great.

This place was wonderful ! Martha was great and very responsive anytime ! Quiet and peaceful and very charming cottage ! Will definitely be returning

Location is great, less than 2 minute, very easy walk, to the beach. Quiet street and properties on either side were not disturbing. There is no grass, so if you bring your furbaby, there are walkable areas to let them do their business. The house itself was very clean and not cluttered. Kitchen is well stocked. There is a great washer/dryer combo. There is no screen for the pool, but a quick daily skimming was sufficient. The pool was clean....no algae. There's a beach cart, chairs, floats, beach towels, etc there, so no need to bring your own. The house is older and in the afternoons it gets very warm (78-80) despite keeping blinds closed and setting ac at 74. We were there in the middle of August and we live in the South so are used to the heat so it wasn't that big of a deal for us. There was a box fan that we used.

John did all he could to make our stay wonderful in his absence. He has a great caretaker who hosted us since John was on vacation, was willing to help us with kayak rentals since he wasn’t there for us to use his, had the nice bicycles ready to ride. Sorry we didn’t get to meet him and Carmen in person; they seem as wonderful as their caretaker! Had pastries and delicious bottle of wine for myself and a treat for my husband, who is not a wine drinker. Caretaker met us and gave us an orientation as soon as we arrived. Was available for anything we needed throughout our visit and had lots of connections and ideas for outings. Grateful for laundry, beach chairs, cooler, comfy bed, recliners, lanai, and all the help and generosity offered during our weeklong stay!
