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. One week minimum (City requirement). One car per unit. Not pet-friendly. WiFi up to 1 gig. What Guests Love "This was our third time. We love it! Perfect for our needs. Very clean.
