Property Description

View of the Gulf
7201 Gulf Drive
Holmes Beach, FL 34217
VRC16-000749

What if we told you there was a place where luxury comes as standard, where quality, comfort, and style converge in the most magnificent villa you can imagine, and where you are just steps from the soft, white sand of Anna Maria Island’s famous shoreline? It sounds like a lot to wish for, but it is all here in View of the Gulf, Anna Maria Vacations’ most spectacular rental property.

Located in a secluded spot in Holmes Beach on the paradise island of Anna Maria, this 7 bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bathroom island home takes vacation rentals to the next level, with no expense spared in the construction or furnishing of this delightful home. From the original artwork, solid wood floors and marble bathrooms, to the serene and spacious landscaped gardens, View of the Gulf has it all.

As the name suggests, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy far-reaching vistas over the picturesque Gulf of Mexico from many of the rooms inside the house. But as anyone who has been to Anna Maria will tell you, it’s what happens when the sun goes down that brings people here year after year. The sunsets on Anna Maria are breathtaking, filling the sky with a spectacular light show of blues, reds and a myriad golden hues. And you can enjoy nature’s most amazing light show for free from the comfort of your very own rooftop observation deck, reached by a spiral stair from the level below.

You can't put a price on watching the sun dip slowly and silently beneath the distant waves over the gulf, but you can on a vacation rental as magical as this one – and you might be surprised at just how affordable this level of luxury can be. One thing is sure, after experiencing the wonder of View of the Gulf for yourself you won't regret spending a single dime of it.

**This home does not allow any additional bedding with air mattresses or roll away beds.** ~101

~103 Unlike some rental properties you might see, the owners of View of the Gulf have put just as much attention into creating the perfect space outside as they have inside. Step out onto one of the private balconies, climb the spiral staircase to the rooftop observation deck, or simply wander into the lush tropical gardens and you will instantly see why we think this place is so special.

For your enjoyment, the owners have provided a whole host of beach accessories inside the spacious garage. There is also a 30ft backyard shuffleboard court. Additional parking for guests is available in the paved turnaround area.

Being outside and enjoying the cool sea breezes and year-round sunshine is what Anna Maria Island is all about - and that is just what View of the Gulf is about also. With three levels of decking surrounding the property and extensive landscaped gardens, there is a wonderful feeling of calm wherever you sit.

The centerpiece of the tranquil setting is the 35ft tropical paradise pool which features a five-person spa, waterfall, and swim-up table to share a drink and nibbles in between long spells of taking it easy in the relaxing waters of the electrically heated pool.

There is also a fabulous wet tiki bar nestled under a covered lanai for beach-style entertaining. In here you will find an outdoor TV and fridge underneath the tiki bar to help keep those mixers cold. Hang around in the hammock, cool yourself off under the outdoor shower, and fire up the gas grill barbecue for some real island-style cuisine.

You might even forget there is a world-renowned beach within a few steps. That beach is a mere few steps from the property and is easy to spot from one of the observation decks. From the roof you can watch the sun go down in private if you care to - it really is incredibly romantic. You will not find a better spot to vacation than View of the Gulf! You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. This property requires a 7 night stay as set forth by Holmes Beach’s Land Development Code. Occupancy may not exceed 14. ~104 https://tour.TruPlace.com/property/1198/33282/

Testimonials

Great trip 2020-08-11

By: Amy Yoder Trip Date: 2020-08-01
This was a last minute rental for 3 families - 6 adults and 8 kids. Loved the outdoor area - tiki bar and pool were great. Super short walk to beach, easy to bike to shopping, ice cream, etc. Home well stocked - few bikes, helmets, beach toys, extra towels. Had A/C issue that was quickly resolved. Great vacation! -- Thank you so much for leaving Anna Maria Vacations a 5 star review! We are happy to hear that you and the other families had a last minute great trip at View of the Gulf! This home is very close to the beach and provides great amenities to our guests. We are glad our Team was able to assist you in a timely manner. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

Fun for all 2020-08-04

By: Sandy Brooman Trip Date: 2020-07-25
Had a great time! There were 14 of us and it never felt crowded. Close to the beach and pool was perfect. Only complaint is that the air conditioning didn’t work well in the first floor which had one of the family rooms. Recommend renting golf carts to get around the island. -- Sandy ~ we are so happy that you and your group enjoyed your stay at View of the Gulf. It really is a beautiful home with a great location! I am sorry to hear about the a/c issue during your stay. Please note that Anna Maria Vacations has a maintenance team that would be happy to come over and assess any issues our guests may be having during their stay. We hope to be able to welcome you back to AMI very soon!

We loved it! 2020-07-16

By: Mark Maez Trip Date: 2020-06-13
It was perfect for our family. Lovely home and wonderful pool! Great location right across the street from the beach! They had the garage full of beach supplies too. We definitely plan on going back! -- Mark, we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at View of the Gulf! It is a wonderful property with so much to offer the guests ~ proximity to the beach is awesome as well!

Fun Times 2020-07-16

By: Jason Beattie Trip Date: 2020-06-06
We had a great time with my parents and my brothers and our families. Everything was perfect. Only constructive criticism is the property needs more garbage cans. -- Jason, thank you so much for your kind words about View of the Gulf! We are so happy that it was the perfect place for your family's stay. I'm not sure if you are speaking about interior trash cans or the outside ones that are provided by the county. We will check next time we are there and if interior ones are needed, that is an easy fix. Unfortunately, the cans provided by the County are all that they provide to the homes on the island ~ additional ones are not given out or picked up on the weekly routes. We hope that we can welcome you all back to AMI soon!

Beautiful House 2020-03-08

By: Susan Brumberg Trip Date: 2020-02-29
We had a wonderful stay. House was great. Lots of room. Loved the pool. One short block to beach access. House wasn’t located correctly on map when booking is only thing we noticed. Would rent this house again. -- Thank you so much for the 5 star review, Susan! We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful stay at View of the Gulf! We are glad that you had plenty of space and that you loved the pool and short walk to the Gulf beaches! Thank you for the feedback, we will look into why the home may be appearing in the wrong location. We hope to welcome you back to AMI as a guest of Anna Maria Vacations!

Just checked out today and can’t wait to plan our next family vacation. Would definitely come back to this beautiful house. Well equipped, beautiful decor. View of the gulf from kitchen.

My family really enjoyed our time there! -- We are beyond happy to hear that you enjoyed View of the Gulf and everything the home has to offer our guests!

Perfect 2019-08-08

By: Lisa Trip Date: 2019-04-20
Wife and I brought our family of 13 with kids and grandkids for a great week at the breach. The house is extremely well-maintained, roomy and comfortable. The outside pool was perfect for small children and the hot tub was among the hottest I’ve enjoyed. The beach is just a short half block away and there were chairs, a wagon and umbrellas for our use which made time at the beach that much more enjoyable. The landscaping adds to the tropical paradise feel. Recommend without reservation. -- Hey Lisa, thank you for the kind review! We are thrilled that you had a perfect time on Anna Maria Island ~ enjoying the outside pool, great location, tropical landscaping, and well-maintained home! We would love to have you back!
