Spring Break Getaway
This is the 2nd time my family and I have stayed on this property and even in this same building, but 1st time in this unit. We enjoyed the sunset views on the sound from this unit and if you're not staying oceanfront it really is a great option.The place was clean and spacious for my family. When we stayed here last year, we were able to walk around the entire community and my husband and I enjoyed that. Our access card did not provide that amenity this year and that was my biggest disappointment. We would stay here again.

Only negative i could give is the pool has about 10 chairs which is a bit ridiculous considering
there are about 6 or 7 bldgs of @10 condos each. Other than that its a fantastic place!

Nice Stay
We enjoyed our stay at the Holmes Beach Retreat. The location is excellent, a very short drive to the beaches on AMI and close to more complete services in Bradenton if you should need them.
The condo is spacious and comfortably furnished, with a lovely lanai from which we watched pelicans, roseate spoonbills, and egrets. The layout of the condo is very nice as well, with the master bedroom off the main living area
and the other two bedrooms off a separate hall. And since there are no beach chair rentals on the AMI beaches it is really convenient that the condo’s storage unit next to the assigned parking spot has beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach accessories for you to use.

This has been one of our favorite vacation rentals! Great location, updated and stylish interior, quiet, and beautiful views of the water and mangroves. We were directly across from the community pool, and in walking distance is the marina, ships store and hotel bar/waterfront restaurant. Perfect stay and experience!

Anna Maria Island
This property was amazing to stay in. It was beautiful. Lanai was so relaxing and the furniture was very comfortable. Plenty of room even with a table that would seat 6. Nice open space inside. Two of the bedrooms had king beds which is a must for us. The 3rd bedroom had bunk beds. Great for a large family. Pool wasn't crowded. However, the pool was much too small for this complex. I imagine in the summer it's very crowded and you would have a hard time finding a place to sit. Plenty of umbrellas to stay out of the sun if you wanted too. Great location. We will definitely go back there again. The property managers were amazing to work with.
