Welcome to Coastal Retreat, your island gem and newly remodeled ground-level duplex, just steps away from the most breathtaking beach and waterfront restaurants. The unit is conveniently located across the street from the southbound free Island Trolley, providing easy access to all corners of the island with runs every 20-30 minutes until 10 p.m. Enjoy proximity to an amazing public park offering basketball, tennis, and pickle-ball courts, as well as a great dog park catering to both large and small breeds! "Download the myStop Mobile in your app store for schedule."

Location is key, and Coastal Retreat is just half a block from the white sand beach with a dedicated beach access and covered benches. Situated in Holmes Beach, the 'hub' of Anna Maria Island, you have Anna Maria City to the North and Bradenton Beach to the South. Ample free on-site parking, including space for RVs and boat trailers, ensures convenience.

The unit comfortably sleeps 6, featuring a KING bed in the master, 2 twins in the second bedroom (craftmatic adjustable/vibrating/remote), and a pullout Queen couch. The full bathroom includes a tub, and the fully equipped kitchen with new appliances has a dining table that seats 4.

The backyard has been transformed with high-end luxury turf, providing a soft and pet-friendly space. Additional amenities include a brand new washer/dryer, two outdoor tables with seating areas, umbrellas, beach chairs, and towels.

Relax, unwind, and create new memories in our clean, un-fussy, simply styled beach house with a fenced yard. Come to Paradise and enjoy it like a local.

Anna Maria Island is a slice of paradise, laid back and comfortable with award winning restaurants and plenty to do on a rainy day. The 7 mile island is comprised of 3 cities, Anna Maria to the North and Bradenton Beach to the South. Our beach house is located in the center (the hub) of the island, in Holmes Beach less than a block to the Gulf and public beach access.

Free Trolley cruises the 7 miles north then south daily along the island and has transfers to city bus for trips to Bradenton and Sarasota for small fee. The island trolley is FREE and after it stops running nightly, the MONKEY BUS is a free ride home from restaurants and bars for only tips. The island is walkable but some s-curves are dangerous, stay off the roadway and pay attention to the crosswalks for safety. We also have bike paths throughout. You can rent golf carts or scooter for additional transportation.

Coastal Retreat
It is a duplex. Stayed in other side last year. That unit was a bit nicer. It was clean and comfortable. Bathroom drain was plugged 2nd to last day. Had to call 2 people to get wifi working. Marginal beach equipment. One chair broken, had to buy new one. Brooms and cleaning equipment should be stored out of sight, not in the lovely backyard. I know it is for sale but could be made so much nicer with a little TLC. Great location and price was terrific.

Perfect location
This is a wonderful place to stay that is quiet yet centrally located. The trolly stops right across the street and it is only one block to the sandy beach. We loved riding our bikes around the island.

Awesome Location!
This rental is in an awesome location! Right across the street from the beach with a public beach access that is only accessible by drop off or walking so it's not crowded. The rental was just enough space for my husband and myself and our three girls. They had all the essentials needed to make your stay comfortable with a stocked kitchen, beach towels, chairs and a nice new grill! If you are looking for a nice clean place to relax and enjoy the island that is affordable this is it! Short drive to Pine Avenue and the Bay yet right across the street from the Beach! Bonus- the rental agency was top notch! They were always available and super nice!
