Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Holmes Beach

We had a perfect week at Anna Marie and Leticia’s home. The place is exactly as it’s described and shown in the photos. You can’t beat the location and it’s literally 50 feet to the beach. It was great to use the pool and hot tub after the day at the beach and night swimming. Leticia is a great host and checked in if we needed anything. Can’t wait to rent again!

Staying a this Airbnb on Anna Maria island was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was unbeatable, just a short stroll to the beach, where we spent our mornings. The home itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed. The private pol was a dream-crystal clear and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. It truly felt like our own personal oasis. What really made the experience stand out was the host. Communication was prompt, friendly, and thoughtful from start to finish. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. If you're looking for a peaceful, beachside retreat with all the comforts at home- and then some- this is the place. Anytime we travel to this island this is the first place I will check to see if it is available.

Everything about this place and our host was top notch! Short walk to a stunning beach, shopping and restaurants. Decor was beautiful, felt private outside and by the pool, very clean and Jen was an amazing host; quick to respond and recommend the best places to visit. I highly recommend renting from Jen. We are already looking forward to staying here next year.

My family and I absolutely loved our experience!! The hosts were attentive and quick to respond with clear instructions. House was cleaned and amply stocked with everything you need for a family of five. The pool was amazing and we definitely saved some money by having a fully functioning kitchen and grill for dinner and lunch. Very close to the beach. Two scoops ice cream is amazing with quick service as it is very busy and the general store was only a quick drive to get anything else we needed or forgot to pack. Bean Point beach is where you want to be if you don’t like overcrowded beaches, however, parking is limited so I recommend getting there early!! Also recommend renting a golf cart for extended stays and if you have kids like I did. Plenty of options around the island. I would recommend 100% and we definitely will be back!!

The Sand DollarCottage was our home for our family vacation this year. The home was even better than pictured. Walking, we were 90 seconds away from the beautiful white sand beach of the gulf. You don’t realize how nice a private pool is until you have that amenity at hand. Carolyn, the host, was great. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Our family definitely recommends this home and its host.

Words can't describe what this place looks and feels like! It is beautiful, comfortable and accessible. If you are looking for a nice place to stay and enjoy the beach and pool all day, this is the spot. It has all the necessary amenities for the trip. They do have beach chairs, cart, umbrella and beach toys. The arrival and check in was no hassle at all, had no need to contact the host, as everything was well taken care of and it had written detailed instructions for further assistance. The BEACH is extremely beautiful.

Wonderful place. Perfect for our group of 7 (4 adults, two kids and a toddler). Numerous aspects of the home that made it exceptional—lots of beach gear (umbrellas, chairs, towels, toys, wagons, coolers, etc), outdoor shower to rinse off, bikes, plus everything you need in kitchen to cook. The beach is about a three to five minute walk and is spectacular—absolutely gorgeous. There is a southbound trolley stop across the street from the home, as well. About a fifteen minute walk to the shops on Pine Ave, which we enjoyed taking each morning. Minh’s home is beautiful and nicely furnished. She was always responsive and very nice each time I reached out. We had a fantastic time at this house and on AMI and will be returning as soon as possible.

We came for 5 days for a close friend’s wedding at the sandbar on AMI. I can’t say enough good things about this little gem. Everything is brand new from appliances to furniture. The kitchen is beautiful. It’s nice and cozy , very peaceful and quiet. It’s smack dab in the middle of everything. Shops restaurants beaches you name it and it was all within walking distance or a quick Uber ride . Katya thought of everything from beach chairs, towels and Even games for little kids to play with. I’ll definitely be coming back to Anna Maria island and if this place is available I’ll gladly stay here over and over again . Thanks Katya !

We had a great stay at Lisa’s. It was well stocked and had everything we needed for a great stay. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent location, awesome little condo , absolutely spotless, welcoming with lots to offer! As described, great welcome package (booklet) provided by host to help you navigate the areas. Highly recommended, would certainly stay again! Thank you

My Husband and I booked with Caroline last minute (Same day) and she was kind. The apartment was perfect. Kitchen had everything we need and Roku for TV. Very close to shopping and beach! We ran out of propane and they immediately replaced it. Very kind hearted. Thank again Caroline. We will definitely be back!

Found this little gem when scouting spots to stay the night after attending the PRide Stonewall Reception. Marilyn's place was convenient and priced well, so I could enjoy the night and not have to drive or Uber back to Tampa. Saving it for future use when staying in St Pete. The Blend Coffee, next door, is one of my local favorites, so that worked out super conveniently. Would certainly recommend staying.

We loved our stay! The place is beyond cute and literally the cleanest place I have ever stayed at! Would definitely rent from them again if in the area!

We enjoyed everything about the condo and the area! Was clean and directly looked over the ocean!

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Anubuy’s place! The home was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Anubuy was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. They made sure we felt right at home, and their attention to detail really stood out. The location was perfect—peaceful, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Very quaint little town. We brought the bikes and were able to bike everywhere. Very peaceful with minimal crowds. Hit the spot on the get away we wanted. Thanks!

We loved it here! It was a quick walk to the beach, and had everything we needed! (Umbrella, beach chairs/towels) The condo was well kept and clean! Restaurants and Publix within walking distance. (Skinny’s was a family favorite) We would definitely book again. It was definitely a stress free, peaceful vacation!

Our family of four drove down from Connecticut and this place was so beautiful and relaxing after a 22 hour drive. It was exquisitely decorated and had every amenity we could possibly need. The host called us as soon as we arrived to make sure we were satisfied with the place and to give us some great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. It is perfectly situated just minutes from the beach, walking distance to several restaurants, drugstores, a Publix, and the pool was just steps from the door. I highly recommend for any family looking for a beach getaway to make amazing memories.

We had a lovely time. It’s an easy to walk to the beach. Place was very clean and nicely decorated. Will definitely book again if coming back to Bradenton Beach.

Scott’s place was very nice for a weekend. The location is perfect. The accès to the beach was fast. Scott’s place was very clean and looks exactly like the pictures . Very responsive for any questions or help. Recommended

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our stay at David’s place in Bradenton! The space was super clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Communication was excellent throughout; the host was responsive, helpful, and always timely with their messages. One of the best parts was the beach access—super convenient, and the place was stocked with everything from a beach cart, umbrellas, chairs, and beach towels etc. which made days at the beach so easy. There were also a few great local tips provided, which I definitely took advantage of. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

As a mother traveling with kids, this place has everything you’re gonna need! Beautiful pool, cute put-put golf, beach towels, Sand toys, Sun shade, wagon, cooler, beach chairs. My girls played volleyball all week! Private houses on both sides of the unit… so it’s never crowded. We saw several manatees while swimming in the ocean and we got to witness loggerheads nesting at night! So if you’re looking for a truly relaxing vacation (for mom too) I highly recommend this unit and mostly, Heidi as a host!

Jean & Mike's beach condo on Anna Maria Island was a wonderful get-away for us after a very long winter. We loved the beach decor and all the little things that made us feel welcome and comfortable. It had everything we needed for an awesome beach vacation - chairs, umbrella, towels and a cool beach cart to carry our stuff. The pristine beach was only about 300 steps away. The condo itself had everything we needed. The bed and couches were comfy; the master bath spacious; the kitchen well-equipped. We enjoyed eating on the screened porch that overlooked a small park and being able to walk to nearby stores and restaurants. We loved watching the sunset from "our" beach or at the AMI Beach Cafe down the beach while listening to live music. Jean was a great host. She responded quickly to our questions and had plenty of recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Jean & Mike's place is one of the best AirBnBs we've stayed at and will definitely consider it the next time we visit AMI.
