Absolutely Perfect · Gulf Front · Private Beach Home

VRC16-000512

4BR · 3.5BA · Sleeps 8 · Private Beach · Heated Pool · Outdoor Kitchen · Rooftop Deck · Media Room · Gulf Front · Dead-End Street

A heated pool with a shallow end for the kids and a built-in table for the adults. An outdoor kitchen with a full-size grill, refrigerator, sink, and flat-screen TV. A rooftop observation deck with unobstructed views from the Gulf of Mexico to the Intracoastal Waterway. And not a neighbor in sight from the water — because Absolutely Perfect sits at the end of a quiet dead-end street in Holmes Beach, where the only thing between you and the Gulf is your own stretch of sand.
This is what a Gulf-front home on Anna Maria Island is supposed to feel like.

The main living level opens onto the beach through floor-to-ceiling glass, with a gourmet kitchen featuring marble countertops and upscale appliances at the center. Clear glass railings on both the living room deck and the upper-level deck mean your Gulf view is never interrupted — whether you're cooking, eating, or simply watching the light change over the water. Sunsets are visible from virtually every room.

Four bedrooms sleep eight comfortably. The first-level master has a queen bed and its own bath. Upstairs, the master suite has a king bed, and two additional bedrooms each have queen beds. Every bedroom has a flat-screen TV. The master bath features a soaking tub, double vessel sinks, and a walk-in shower with a rain head and four body sprays. Travertine marble floors, crown molding, tray ceilings, and exceptional wood trim and doors run throughout — the kind of finishes that photograph well and feel even better in person.

When the beach day ends, the fun doesn't have to. The ground-level media room has a pool table and a panel of sliding doors that open directly onto the private beach — so game night happens with the sound of the Gulf in the background. A single-car garage, full-size laundry room, and generous walk-in closets throughout mean the practical side of a week-long stay is handled.

The elevator connects you to the main level quickly, and it's worth knowing in advance if you're traveling with very young children or guests with mobility needs.

Absolutely Perfect sleeps 8, requires a one-week minimum stay, and allows parking for up to four cars. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM.

This home is so perfectly located it is hard to describe. The beach is literally steps from the house. The patio allowed for all our outdoor dining with the sound of the ocean as we ate. The pool was a nice addition.

It truly was perfect!

We’ve stayed in VRBO homes on Anna Maria Island 3 different times now, and this home was the best yet! From the home itself that had everything we could ever need, to the pool, to the location so close to the ocean, to the closeness of some excellent restaurants and shops, it truly was absolutely perfect. Thank you Bill and Sara for sharing your amazing home with our family of 6. We will definitely be back!

Great house/great location

Besides being at a great house, it was a couple block walk to Walgreens, a strip mall with several REALLY GOOD restaurants, and shoppingWe BBQ’d at the house a couple times and it was nice having eating table right there to eat, and swimThe only bad thing is VRBO’s ridiculous late check in (4pm) and early checkout (10am). The cleaners were waiting out front at 9:40am for us to leave

Absolutely Perfect Indeed!

Two families comprised of four adults and five kids (ages 2-10) stayed at the home for a week in March 2018. It was in fantastic condition, and it provided a great location for a beach & pool spring break. The views of the beach and gulf were amazing. We have small children and appreciated small touches like locks high on doors to access the pool and rooftop deck. The grill and pool area was fantastic!

We had a great time. This house has a fantastic location in a really cute neighborhood on a wonderful beach. As stated in the property description, everything possible is available that made our stay absolutely perfect. Home is well cared for and clean! Kitchen, bedding, bathrooms - all are well equipped. The grandkids really enjoyed the selection of beach toys, too!

The Perfect Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just got home from the best spring break ever. The house was beautiful, and THE PERFECT location. It's on a dead end street - beachfront - but close to everything. It is pretty much in the middle of where you want to be to Anna Maria and Bradenton Beach. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a few stores in walking distance. We loved this place.

Pool home on the beach

Great house right on the beach! House is in great condition, adequate supplies , beautiful sunset views and lush pool area. Nice floor plan, master suite overlooking gulf. Beach can get busy as there are a couple public beach access areas nearby. Not an issue though, when sun gets too hot, head back to the house and take a swim in backyard pool with bbq grill, outdoor tv. Very nice, I’d go again!

Beautiful Ocean View - 2nd time guest

Love this property! This is the second time we have stayed here. Beautiful ocean views from the balcony. Walk out the door and you're at the beach! Plenty of beach chairs for everyone to use. The house is on quiet street and the section of beach is beautiful and not overly crowded. The outdoor kitchen area by the pool is a perfect spot to end the day while grilling or enjoying a dip in the pool. We had a fabulous family vacation and look forward to returning.
