Forget your cares at this thoughtfully renovated 3 bedroom, 3 bath, pool home in the heart of Holmes Beach. Located just one block away from the Island's sugar sand beaches, with easy walk to several shopping plazas and restaurants. Hop the free trolley, just a block away, to see the rest of the island.

Inside you'll find an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and plenty of room to relax. The main floor is tastefully decorated, featuring two bedrooms, each with a king bed and en suite baths, a beautifully appointed open kitchen, and comfortable living and dining areas.

Upstairs is the perfect hideaway for the children, in this spacious loft bedroom, en suite bath, and two queen beds. Relax to smart TVs in the living room as well as in each of the bedrooms.

The lovely outdoor living areas will truly increase your enjoyment of this home! Start your day with breakfast on the deck, right off the kitchen, then retreat to the lush tropical shade of the pool-side patio with lots of comfortable seating, plus a 55" TV, Corn Hole, and sun loungers by the pool. Lush tropical landscaping, a fenced yard, and a heatable pool make Ride the Tide the vacation home you'll want to call your own when you visit Anna Maria Island!

Perfect spot on my island!

Just finished our stay here and we could not be more happy with our vacation home! Place was clean and even ready early for us to get in and unpack. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach, and there was a cart and plenty of beach chairs to use. A 5 minute walk to shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a short walk to the trolley stops to tour the rest of the island. Pool was good size and outdoor area was large with plenty of seating for all. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and house for family getaway!

We stayed for spring break 2025. Was worried initially because the pool essentially is visible from the road (small fence surrounding yard) but ultimately it was totally fine. The house had so many amenities and beach equipment. It was so nice! Plenty of space for two families, as the upstairs can be a separate living space. Will definitely return to this house again!

Honestly, we have no complaints regarding the property. Everything you need is provided. Most rentals don’t have adequate cooking needs, pots pans etc. They did. We did have an issue, but they were right on it. They worked until the issue was solved, and it was on Sunday and a holiday. They were awesome. Beautiful home, and wonderful people manage the property.

Great location…great property

Everything in the description was spot on. You couldn’t ask for a better property unless it was put right on the beach. Location was about a ten minute walk to the beach. Property has basically everything you need for beach fun…from chairs to wagon and umbrellas. In the house, everything is provided that you would need to cook. The one thing missing was a spatula for the grill but we managed fine. One good idea if your traveling with a bunch of people is to stop and get a couple bags of ice. The fridges(that’s right…one in the garage and in the kitchen) have ice machines but we found that we went through a lot of ice.

Loved the separation of areas; the cottage does need more than 1 dish towel/cloth...there were no pot holders/oven mitts... The living room furnisher needs upgrade. All beach umbrellas & 1 chair broken- should be removed.

Great getaway

This home had everything we could have possibly needed for our family. Going to the beach was easy, as it was just down the block and all we had to do was pack up the beach cart with chairs and toys (all of it was provided) It was also great being able to hang out at the pool and swim when we weren’t playing in the sand. If you want to take a family trip this would be a wonderful spot!
