VRC16-000518 Beach living with garden serenity. Four Beach Lovers Unit 3 offers a completely renovated retreat in Holmes Beach where you're still just seconds from the Gulf, but with a peaceful garden view and excellent value. Your covered patio overlooks lush tropical landscaping, a charming gazebo with fountain, and porch swings—with the sound of waves always in the background. The Garden View Advantage Unit 3 provides a unique combination: immediate beach access without the beachfront price. You're literally five seconds further from the water than the gulf-front units, yet you'll enjoy better pricing and equally updated accommodations. The covered patio with four-top table and chairs is perfect for morning coffee overlooking tropical gardens, leisurely breakfasts in the shade, or evening card games with the fountain's gentle sounds nearby. The garden setting offers its own magic. Watch hummingbirds visit tropical flowers, relax on the porch swings in the gazebo, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. When you're ready for sand and surf, it's a five-second walk. Part of a Beach-Loving Community Four Beach Lovers features four one-bedroom units. Units 1 and 2 face the Gulf with direct water views, while Units 3 and 4 offer garden views at better pricing. All four units share beautifully landscaped grounds, gazebo area, grills, laundry, and beach equipment. Traveling with family or friends? Rent multiple units—beachfront and garden view combinations work perfectly for groups with varying budgets. Completely Renovated & Solar Powered After an extensive year-long renovation completed in late 2025, Unit 3 is brand new throughout. Every element has been thoughtfully updated—furnishings, kitchen, bathroom, fixtures, linens, and technology. The entire property operates on solar power, demonstrating commitment to environmental sustainability. Unit 3 is slightly smaller than Units 1, 2, and 4—approximately 80 square feet less to accommodate the shared laundry room. The efficient layout enhances the cozy, intimate feel that many couples and small families prefer. Sleeping & Amenities King bed in bedroom with Smart TV, comfortable sleeper sofa in living room. Accommodates up to 4 guests. The covered patio with four-top table becomes your outdoor living room. Charcoal grills on property. Beach chairs stored onsite. Shared laundry room. Linens, towels, and beach towels provided. Despite being slightly smaller, Unit 3 offers the same complete renovation and amenities. Smart TV, ultra-fast WiFi (up to 1 gig), fully equipped kitchen with wine fridge, renovated bathroom with walk-in shower, and new furnishings throughout. Ideal Holmes Beach Location Holmes Beach strikes perfect balance—quiet residential peace with easy access. Publix just blocks away. Walgreens and shopping nearby. Free island trolley stops close by.

We were just a little concerned about our vacation since this place is new to Homeaway and didn't have any reviews yet, but we were absolutely thrilled upon arrival. So cute, clean, quiet and RIGHT on the beach. They supply all the household items you could possibly want (and more). Oh....and the bed was SUPER COMFY too. Don't be scared to take a chance on this place based on the lack of reviews. It's so much nicer than staying in a stuffy old hotel room!! ##### JULIE B.

We were particularly pleased with having a king-sized bed that was comfortable and having a laundry facility right there was very helpful. The dishwasher was a bit tricky to start, though it worked just fine once we figured it out. We would definitely recommend this property. ##### Ronald L.

The property was extremely neat and clean both inside and out. It was very comfortable and such a joy to stay in. Having the privacy patio to sit out on was wonderful along with the swing. Property was very quite with privacy from the street. Having a washer and dryer available was so nice. Just around the corner was the beach. Doesn't get much better then that! We would highly recommend this property if you want a quiet, relaxing, peaceful place to stay with everything available you could want. Only downside-wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Patrick R. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lorie C.

Reviewer Comments: Cockroach was left in bedroom dead upon arrival and left as was in corner behind door. Experienced some bugs on Thursday and contacted staff and they sent maintenance and he arrived as was showering and he waited for a bit then left and to knowledge never returned after we left and returned later Thursday nor Friday. Bugs were still on curtains in bedroom and signs they had been in bathroom when left. They carried something like nettles onto window sealin bedroom but could not determine point of entry. ##### Lorie C. ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria W. Mar 5, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Place needs someone who pays attention to detail. It’s the little things that make a big impact! Please, only share this review with the owner. Place smelled musty, always felt wet and sticky when inside, would have loved to spend more time on the patio but coughing from the red tide made it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. The place needs a dehumidifier. Cockroaches, they thrive in damp places, they were very disgusting. A beach house should have places to hang beach bags, towels and swim suits. Not a single hook in the place. Full length mirror would be great as well. Very minimum and cheap necessities were provided. The Saran Wrap didn't even have the serrated edge for cutting. We had to purchase more paper products just to get through our week vacation. The bed is sunken on both sides which creates a lump in the middle. The price charged for a nights stay is equivalent to a luxury suite, I would have expected better accommodations. The kitchen utensils and beach supplies were adequate. The remodeled bathroom was very nice, shower was amazing! Bathroom light switch was broke. ##### Maria W.

The beach is right in your back yard! The Holmes Beach location is ideal. The quiet side street gets none of the traffic and private parking is provided. The property is very clean and decorated in a beachy welcoming way. Everything looks just like the photos online. All appliances were new and worked well. We had a rental car and it was very easy to get to restaurants and shopping areas. Next year we might try renting a golf cart! Sarasota is less than a half hour away, and we really enjoyed visiting The Ringling museum complex. We also drove to St. Pete to see The Imagine glass museum. We highly recommend both! But the best experience was relaxing on the beach with a good book and viewing the spectacular sunsets. On our last evening, we even spied 2 dolphins swimming by! A few amenities that were missing and would have been appreciated: a box of Kleenex, coffee filters for the coffee maker, (that made surprisingly GOOD coffee!), a couple extra rolls of TP, a full-length mirror. Other than that, Beach Lovers #3 has most everything needed for a wonderful beach vacation. And that’s why we booked for the third year in a row! ##### Jodi B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
