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.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Bradenton Beach. Features include laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a private pool in the vacation home.

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

A Bucket List Dream

I felt at home the minute I walked thru the door. The place I had originally booked canceled on me 3 days before arrival. I was sure I would never find everything I was looking for. Well I found more than I was looking for. I needed time away to rest and find some closure after losing my husband. I cannot express what staying here did for my soul. This was a once in a lifetime for me but I’m thinking I’m going to try my hardest to make it every year. I want the owners to know this home will always hold a special place in my heart.

2024 vacation

My wife walking disabilities were minimized due to the close location of the property to the beach. The family (children and grandchildren) loved the house amenities. For example, the balconies overlooking the beach also provided a spectacular sunset view. The elevator greatly assisted with the luggage and minimizing the physical effort for my wife to travel between floors. The swimming pool was perfect for both the children and grandchildren. My wife enjoyed the pool benefits due to the easy access to the pool. The kitchen appliances performed perfectly. The BBQ grill and nearby cooler was embraced by the adults. I personally, was up at 5am each morning to enjoy the moonlight view of the beach and harmony of the surf below the starlight. An absolutely perfect vacation property and property location.

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!

Perfect location

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.

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!

Perfect paradise

This place is amazing - the pictures don’t do it justice. You can sit on the deck every night watching the sun go down over the crystal blue ocean while osprey swoop down to catch their dinner, dolphins swim by - in the morning grab a beach chair and walk directly onto the beach from the front door - it was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had.

Perfect place to relax and reconnect

The home was better than the pictures. The location was perfect, literally steps from the beach and still close to restaurants and shops. We loved watching the gorgeous sunsets over the ocean from the kitchen. The owners thought of everything, from beach chairs to umbrellas. The beach was private and not crowded. The pool area was wonderful. We grilled and enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and privacy. It was truly one of our best family vacations. There was something for everyone in our group including our 73 year old mom, 13 and 8 year old daughters. Just perfect. We will be back.

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.

Perfect Indeed

If you are looking for a gorgeous home on the golf shore - do not hesitate this is it! The home exceeded all of our expectations. It was perfectly situated on the beaches. You can walk out the door onto the beach or view the beach and sunset from the multiple home levels, including the roof top peak. Home had a private heated pool. Contained lots of beach/pool toys, beach chairs, games, puzzles, books, playstation, and other fun things. Home even had its own elevator to access its three floors. Easy walking access to the grocery store (0.25 miles) and markets and nearby restaurants. The rental agency was very friendly and easy to deal with and quick to respond to the few questions we had. We most definitely would rent this home again and hope to next year!

Great vacation spot for our family!

Beautiful home! Well maintained and well stocked kitchen; beds were comfortable with quality linens. The extra king bed and living space in the bottom floor made it even more perfect for our growing family than we had even expected by the VRBO description. The private pool was a great afternoon escape from the heat of the beach, making it perfect for our 2 year old granddaughter. The property is definitely aptly named - Absolutely Perfect! We will surely be back!!

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.

Could also call it "Just What We Needed"

This property enabled 9 of us to occupy 5 rooms for the week and not be in each other's way. (1 room is technically not a bedroom, because it incorporates the way to the pool area, but the bed and amenities were quite spaceous and nice) The elevator was handy for one of our physically challenged members, The outdoor covered kitchen/grill and counter area by the pool was great for entertaining and preparing some of the meals. The garage alternatively served to take a car out of the 3 car driveway when needed and also secured some rented kayaks for a few days. The zone air conditioning was very helpful. Location on the island made it extremely easy to get to the Publix/CVS/Walgreens Plaza as well as hopping on Gulf Drive and the Manatee Causeway. We had a couple of small issues with electrical/mechanical things and Island Vacation Properties was on the scene by the following day. Note that two of the bedrooms are smaller and there is no bathroom on the ground floor, but we adjusted relatively well. The closeness of the beach enabled a sea turtle to lay her eggs within 50 yards of where we slept and the ensuing visits of the Turtle Patrol made us feel like we were part of the action. The whole beach was laid out before us. Overall, a great vacation at this property.
