Happy Island Cottage: Heated Pool, 5-Min Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly
Your own heated pool, a five-minute walk to the Gulf, and the whole house to yourselves in quiet Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. We are one of the few family-run homes left on the island, we answer our own messages, and so many of our guests come back year after year.
The home is a modern 2,000 sq ft beach house that sleeps 6: two king rooms, a twin room, a queen sleeper sofa, and 2.5 baths with a jet tub. A private, fenced pool with safety alarms, two decks, a grill, a full kitchen, Electrolux washer and dryer, fast 173 Mbps wifi, a 3-car garage and EV charger, and easy self check-in. Two dogs welcome, any size, and the garage is stocked with beach toys, loungers and a wagon to borrow.
Leave the car parked: it is a five-minute walk to a wide Gulf beach, and steps to the marina, shops, groceries and the Ugly Grouper. The free island trolley stops 100 steps away.
Want to be right on the sand, or planning a simpler getaway? Look up Happy Turtle, our two cute cottages 60 steps from the beach, 10 minutes away in Bradenton Beach.

We were in touch with the owner before booking with some questions, and he was very quick to respond. The house was extremely clean. The pool was beautiful-equipped with plenty of toys and floatables. Night swims were also fun with the pool lights and the string lights! The front porch was nice to watch lightning at night. The beach was just a quick 5 min walk away. Overall, this was an excellent experience!

Great Escape Location
We enjoyed our stay on AI & found the house to be just perfect for a family with teenagers. Close enough to walk to the quiet beach, round the corner from good local stores and the free bus at the end of the road perfect for getting home after an evening out!

The house was perfect for our family, our host was super and really made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. The pool and pool area were spotless and relaxing and the beach was a really short walk away, best of both worlds. We’d return for sure😎

Great Location!
The house was a short walk to the beach, and was close to everything you needed. Lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. We really liked being so close to the north end of the island. The house was pretty much exactly as described, and the kids loved the playing in the pool every day after coming back from the beach.

Vacay 2025
This is our 4th time in AMI.. we have stayed at different properties, all have had different things to offer. This one was ok except we did not realize that we are on top of The Ugly Grouper. Trucks unloading almost every morning to deliver supplies to the restaurant. The pool was nice.
