The condo
As the owners of this fantastic condo, Tropical Sunset #1, we would like to welcome you to our hidden gem in Holmes Beach on beautiful Anna Maria Island. Just steps from the beach, it´s the perfect place for a great vacation. It was remodeled and updated in Sept-23 and in Dec the pool area, grill area and rooftop terrace was updated and the building got a new staircase. We hope you will choose to be our guest and will enjoy our “Happy Place” as much as we do!
Location
Anna Maria Island is a barrier island on the west coast of Florida. It´s situated appx. one hour south of Tampa. Two bridges connect AMI with Bradenton and Cortez on the mainland and one with Longboat Key. It is about a half an hour drive to Sarasota, 2,5 hrs to Orlando and 4 hrs to Miami.
The Island
AMI, with 7 miles of white, sandy beaches, is the perfect spot for a relaxed and laid back vacation. There are no high rises on the island but a lot of beautiful and cute houses. You´ll find small shops, nice restaurants, coffee shops, rental agencies of bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, para-sailing and more. The grocery store Publix, several restaurants and shops are located whithin walking distance from our condo and it is close to the trolley stop for the free trolley, that takes you around the island.
The condo
With huge windows, glimpses of the Gulf, bright colors, tasteful decors and fully equipped kitchen, our 2 bd, 2 ba condo of 1331 sqf (124 kvm) feels more like an “all year around condo” than a vacation home. It´s located in a residential building with just four units sharing the heated pool, bbq-area and rooftop terrace. It´s never crowded!
Holmes Beach
Beach access is just steps away. You just have to cross a small, less busy neighborhood street. The beach is amazing. You can watch the dolphins and sometimes the manatees just off-shore. Birds in different sizes will keep you company when shelling or strolling along the beach, and in season you can’t miss the spots where the turtles laid their eggs, cause it’s marked with sticks and ribbons. We even got to witness a turtle lay her eggs one time! Be prepared to experience the most stunning sunsets on this beach!
