Franks Beach House · Gulf Front · Bose Sound

VRC16-000543

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Direct Gulf Front · Large Open Deck · Screened Lanai · Bose Sound System · Granite Kitchen · Garden Bathtub · Beach Chairs Provided · Undercover Parking · 5-Min Walk to Restaurants

Direct Gulf front in Holmes Beach. The large open deck faces the water — the right spot for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening sunsets over the Gulf. When shade is what you want, the screened lanai is steps away. The beach stretches for miles in either direction from the front of the house.

Inside, Franks Beach House has details that most Gulf-front homes don't bother with. A Bose sound system in the living room. Two large picture windows added specifically to maximize the beach view. The granite kitchen has updated cabinets and full appliances — properly equipped for a week of cooking at home. The master bathroom has a large garden bathtub for the end of a long beach day.

Three bedrooms sleep six across four proper beds. The master has a king bed. The second guest bedroom has two queen beds. The third bedroom has one queen bed. No sofa beds — everyone sleeps in a real bed. Smart TVs in all three bedrooms and the living room. High-speed WiFi throughout.

A storage room holds beach chairs and toys — grab everything on the way out and leave it when you come back. Gas grill on-site for cookouts. Full-size washer and dryer. Undercover parking for three cars. Shopping and restaurants are a five-minute walk.

Franks Beach House requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for three vehicles. Not pet-friendly.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due.

You are vacationing in a residential area, please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a lanai, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Perfect beach stay

This house is clean, well-equipped, and most importantly sits on a gorgeous beachfront spot. We loved sitting out on the deck and watching the sun set and literally walking down the steps to the beach. Toddler friendly too: easy to close off the open living space and steps to a Publix. Would happily stay here again.

Best location on Anna Maria.

The location was spectacular. Right on a private beach, close to the grocery store and short golf cart ride from everything on the island. The house cleaning side did have a few issues (no trash bags, no dish soap, only one partial roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, dirty hand prints on the front door and bathroom doors), but I’m certain the management company will get those issues fixed. Overall, a very enjoyable stay. Everyone in the family had a great time.

Nice home, great location, house smells

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the home and location but the house smells terrible. It hits you when you walk in but think that maybe it's just been closed up and needs air but it doesn't go away. When we got home and unpacked we had to wash everything we took , coats, hats, everything, even if we didn't wear it. We got to thinking what we were breathing all week , mold ? Smell definitely needs to be investigated. Wouldn't recommend until that is addressed.

It was fully stocked, clean, and you could tell they spent a lot of time (and money) making sure it was comfortable and used a lot of high end finishes.The location could not have been more perfect. Private beach spaced apart from public access points but still within walking distance to several ice cream shops and restaurants. We will definitely be coming back for many years.
