About this house rental

Located in Holmes Beach, this lovely house for $699 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Welcome to our Blue Grotto on the beautiful Anna Maria Island. We hope you will enjoy every minute of your stay in our 3700 square feet beach house with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (VRBO is saying 2 for some reason and we are working on fixing). Our unique property features 2 living areas and 2 full kitchens which makes it great for both Team Sleep In and Team Early Riser to all vacation together. Our little slice of heaven is perfect for family vacays, wedding guests, fishing or golfing trips or that annual girls trip! You are only 6 houses to the beach or right out the back door to the large pool*. You will want to return year after year! Location, Location, Location! The locals call this area the "Golden Triangle" because ALL THE THINGS are right around the corner. A short 5 minute walk to the AMI Beach Cafe serving my Dad’s favorite all-you-can-eat pancakes. A quick 2 minute golf cart ride to grab a cold beer at the Freckled Fin Irish Pub or 5 minutes in the other direction for some ice cream at my personal fav- Two Scoops! Adult Night Out...don't worry, The Doctor's Office is crafting cocktails only 2 minutes away. If things get ugly at the Ugly Grouper, you are only 2 minutes from home. If you want to pick up some of the freshest seafood around at Capt Anthony's Seafood Market and grill by the pool then your side dishes from Publix are only 4 short minutes from home. Jump on the free Island Trolley at the end of the block to check out Coquina Beach or Anna Maria City Pier. Feeling like a homemade cinnamon roll just about the size of your head then head straight to Ginny’s & Jane E’s Cafe. You won’t want to miss the sunset at The Sand Bar and while you are there...order a pina colada with a dark rum floater! Historic Bridge Street will keep the whole gang entertained for hours purchasing all the sharks teeth, alligator sculptures, shell bracelets, bathing suits or singing along with the band at Island Time Bar and Grill. It shouldn’t even be legal to skip a fried grouper sandwich on the deck at Tide Tables. Some would argue that the fried shrimp at Starfish are life changing. Southern hospitality and a chill vibe welcomes all ages at the AMI Blue Grotto. Enjoy an afternoon game on the outdoor tv while the kids swim in the large pool. With only steps to the sugar white sand beach, the Blue Grotto is so convenient to pop back and forth for that true island style living. Who will rule the shuffleboard table on this trip? Who will be the first to spot a Manatee or perhaps one of the 5 different species of Sea Turtles? A quick 1 minute walk in the evening to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets from the most beautiful white sand beach is the best stress reliever that I have ever found. Come back home to rest in one of the 4 king bedrooms or 2 double twin bedrooms....each with their own television. Come experience the vintage charm of Anna Maria Island, a seven mile little slice of heaven where flip flops are standard and the speed limit tops out at 35 mph. See ya’ll soon! *Extra charge to heat the pool. ***Please inquire about offseason less than weekly rental.***

We stayed in this lovely home during the week of Christmas with our two daughters and their husbands and four grandchildren ranging in ages from 2-6. The home is perfect providing space and privacy for both families and separate great room spaces for those who want to stay up late or get up early. The neighborhood is quiet, close to the Trolly stop, restaurants and only a 2 minute walk to the beautiful white powder beach. The kitchen was extremely well equipped! The pool was quite enjoyable despite the weather which was a little on the cooler side. You won't be disappointed with your stay in this home. The owners are very responsive should you have any questions. We fell in love with the island and definitely want to return.

We loved the house and location. The attention to detail in the house was perfect. We were happy to find a house that accommodated all of our family members comfortably. We previously had to rent 2 houses. This house was perfect in that you could all gather together on one side or have your privacy if that’s what you prefer. The pool area was very nice for relaxing and watching the Lions win on the outdoor TV. Also, the house is conveniently located near a trolley stop to access most parts of the island. Would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a lovely house in a great location.

Second visit and we had a great time! Loved the location. We were there when it was crazy hot, but had a wonderful time and got to experience everything we wanted. Plenty of space for two families (total of 11 people) and had all the needs. Tons of towels, pool toys and beach stuff!

The blue grotto was a perfect for our size group. Having two kitchens gave us plenty of space to cook and gather. We enjoyed the pool fully and the outdoor TV for a movie night was a bonus! We had a great family reunion.

What a wonderful place for a large group! We are grandparents who traveled with our kids and grandkids. The two kitchens came in very handy and they were well stocked. We had plenty of beach chairs and the beach was just a short walk away. The owners communicated in a timely manner. We would recommend staying at this lovely place.

Loved everything about The Blue Grotto! Easy to rent and working with the Owners was easy. Loved the location, walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants, church, everywhere! The beach access was 1 block away, and the beach was BEAUTIFUL! The pool was cleaned and well maintained while we were there and the house was immaculate when we arrived. The house is very well equipped and VERY comfortable! Loved our stay and hope to return!
