Four Beach Lovers 1 | Beach Right At Your Door

VRC16-000516

Your toes in the sand within seconds. Four Beach Lovers Unit 1 is a completely renovated gulf-front retreat in Holmes Beach where the beach isn't just close—it's right there. Step off your private patio and you're standing on white sand with the turquoise Gulf of Mexico stretching before you. This is beachfront living at its most authentic and relaxed.

Why Guests Return Year After Year Guests have made Four Beach Lovers their "happy place," returning four, five, even twelve years in a row. They love the unbeatable location—steps to the water yet close enough to walk to Publix and Walgreens. Couples spend mornings on the patio with coffee, afternoons on beach chairs watching dolphins, and evenings grilling while the sun sets over the Gulf. It's the kind of place where you immediately start planning your return visit.

Directly on the Beach This isn't "beach access" or "short walk to the beach." Unit 1 faces southwest, directly on the Gulf, offering front-row seats to spectacular sunsets and endless water views. The beach here is quiet and uncrowded—a peaceful stretch perfect for shell hunting, dolphin watching, and long walks on the sand. As one guest put it: "We've never been so close to the ocean."

Four Beach Lovers features four one-bedroom units total. Units 1 and 2 face the beach with stunning gulf views, while Units 3 and 4 offer garden views. Traveling with family or friends? Rent multiple units and enjoy the vacation together while each group has their own private space. The property's lush tropical landscaping, charming gazebo with fountain, and old-fashioned porch swings create a relaxed island atmosphere.

Completely Renovated Throughout After a year-long extensive renovation completed in 2025, Unit 1 is brand new from top to bottom. Every surface, every piece of furniture, and every detail has been thoughtfully updated. The result is a fresh, modern space that honors the property's beachfront character while providing all the comforts today's travelers expect. The renovation includes a beautifully updated kitchen and bathroom, all new furnishings throughout, new linens, and modern conveniences that make your stay effortless. This is the cleanest, most well-appointed version of Four Beach Lovers that guests have ever experienced.

Sleeping Arrangements Perfect for couples or a small family.

Bedroom: King bed with Smart TV

Living Room: Comfortable sleeper sofa Unit 1 sleeps up to four guests, with a layout creating an intimate retreat ideal for quality time without the high cost of larger properties.

Your Private Outdoor Space The patio is where many guests spend most of their time—and it's easy to see why. Steps from the water, this is your front-row seat to island life. Enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise, read a book in the afternoon breeze, or settle in for sunset happy hour with the sound of waves in the background. Charcoal grills are available onsite for beachside cookouts. Beach chairs are provided, so there's no need to pack or rent—just grab them from the shed and head to the sand.

Inside Unit 1 The open layout maximizes space and comfort. The living area features a Smart TV, ultra-fast WiFi (up to 1 gig), and brand-new comfortable seating. Cable package included with local and national channels—perfect for remote workers, sports fans, or rainy day movie marathons. The fully equipped kitchen includes full-size appliances, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, and all the dishes and utensils you need. A wine fridge has been added—ideal for chilling your favorite bottle to enjoy on the patio at sunset. The bathroom showcases the renovation's quality with a spacious walk-in shower and modern fixtures. The king bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with new furnishings and its own Smart TV. A free onsite laundry room is shared among the four units. Linens, towels, and beach towels are all provided.

Unbeatable Location Holmes Beach puts you in the heart of Anna Maria Island's quieter side. You're far enough from the crowds to enjoy peace and tranquility, yet close enough to walk to everyday conveniences.
