Our family had a fantastic stay at Areca Cove! The house was clean, comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed for a weeklong stay with our 3 teens. The layout was great with room for both family time and alone time, and the kitchen was set up so well and very well stocked with cooking supplies. The location is amazing - short walk to an incredible beach and right next to the trolley stop, without feeling like you’re on a main road. We had a great time walking to both ends of the island, had some great meals at local restaurants, and got the vacation break we all needed. Olaf and Marissa were communicative, kind, proactive, and made our stay wonderful (even helping out when we left some things behind!). We would stay again in a heartbeat! Thanks Olaf and Marissa!

This property is a stunner and so well looked after by Olaf and Marissa. They met us at the door at arrival to familiarize us with the house and give us the keys. They are always available and live nearby. The house was very clean and well-appointed. We also made good use of the pool when the beach was too windy; perfect mix of sun and shade. We hope to return to this property next year!

Areca Cove was an awesome place to spend two weeks! The pictures accurately represent the property listing plus more. The beach is a short walk across the busy main road on Anna Maria Island, but there is a signed crosswalk that stops traffic making it an easy walk to multiple public beach options. Manatee beach is a short walk to access to a great souvenir shop, an ice cream shop (yum!), food and beverage choices, and daily live music - which we enjoyed often. Anna Maria Island has a trolley - and the pick-up spot is very close to this home. The free (really its free) trolley can take you to the North (beach, shops, restaurants) and South (beach, etc.) ends of the island as well as has multiple stops including Bridge Street where there are a number of unique shops, places to eat, and the marina. So much to do and see! In addition, it is a short walk to a grocery store. Loved coming back from the beach to rinse off in the heated outside shower before jumping into the heated pool to enjoy the afternoon sun. Lastly, I can't say enough about this property owner; he was responsive and informative regarding the property as well as recommendations for Anna Maria Island. Typically, we prefer to try other locations but have booked a return trip to this property in 2024.

We stayed here for a work trip. This place does not sleep 6 people. We had 3 unrelated work people and needed the living room as a sleeping spot. The sleeper pictured is not what was in the unit. It now has a rock solid sofa with single bed (IE sleep on sofa cushion, not a mattress). It doesn't pull out and has a storage drawer below. Disappointing and not very comfortable as it was rock hard. Definitely false advertising. Otherwise the place was ok.

What an amazing home, spotless clean, decorated beautifully and stocked with everything you need for a large group. Marissa and Olaf's attention to detail for a vacation rental deserves five stars plus!!!

Our group of 7 adults were very pleased with Olaf and Marissa’s home! Everything was exactly as presented plus more! Comfy and spacious, every bed very comfortable! Centrally located on the island, easy access to the beaches and restaurants. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect home base to explore the island from.

I had never seen a listing with with all 5 star reviews. Now I can add mine to the list. Our family and friends made beautiful memories during our time at Areca Cove. From the moment we got there, Marisa and Olaf were available and responsive to anything that came up, including hurricane Ian! They were definitely looking out for our safety and well being. Awesome experience, highly recommended.

Best VRBO experience ever
This was by far the best rental property I've ever stayed in. The home was immaculate, well-maintained, and the communication with the owners was incredible. They were responsive to questions and needs and were wonderful to work with. We had plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 4 kids/teens. My only suggestion would be to add some hooks on the back of the bathroom door in second floor master to help with hanging bathroom towels. Honestly, the home could not have been better. I can't wait to rent again!

Wonderful experience!
I don't typically leave reviews, but this property, and the owners, deserve to be recognized. We picked this property over others because of the reviews, and they did not disappoint!! 5 stars!

The house was amazing! Very well taken care of, clean and comfortable. The owner met us for check in and was very helpful. At one point the grill required more gas, and he was incredibly quick at getting this replaced. Right near trolley stop and 5 minute walk to the beach. Perfect!

We had a great time at Areca Cove. There were originally 6 in our group but the grandparents dropped out last minute for health reasons. The house was big enough for all 6 of us. All linens were provided as well as beach gear. This was much appreciated as we flew in from NC. The house was clean, well-stocked and perfectly located. Thanks for a great stay!

Areca Cove is a beautiful property situated in the heart of Holmes Beach. The location makes it easy to walk to many restaurants and shops and the walk to the beach is 4 minutes. The trolley stop is also very close. We were a party of eight friends and we only needed one car the entire week. The house is well equipped and Olaf, the owner, was very kind and always available if we had questions. I highly recommend Areca Cove. In fact, we will be returning next year.

Girl Friends Vacay
Fantastic place, beautifully decorated, very clean, so many items were provided - above and beyond any other rental we’ve ever rented over the 12 years of renting up and down the east coast. Great location, close to the beach and great places to eat!! Olaf and Marissa were very accommodating, attentive landlords.
5.0
The house was clean which I’m picky about, and the location is great. It’s a quick easy walk to the beach, even with kids. Nice quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and the grocery store. Olaf was a great host, very helpful and always responded quickly to any question. The pool was warm enough to swim in even though it was in the 60’s outside while we were there.

This property was exactly as described and even more! As soon as we walked in we noticed that a lot of attention was paid to cleanliness. There was a lot of room for our party of 6 to spread out. The pool in back was one of our favorite places to go after the beach. The walk to the beach was very short and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. They had all sorts of beach toys, floats, chairs, coolers. The owners were there to meet us and stayed in contact with us the whole week- felt like we could contact them if needed. We highly recommend this lovely house!

We brought my parents to Anna Maria island for the 1st time. I have stayed at multiple properties owned by Olaf. All of his properties are amazing and he is the best owner on VRBO. My family plans to stay at his houses for years to come.
