Why Guests Love It
Some guests return for their eleventh year. One couple called it "heaven walking out of the bedroom onto our private patio" and gliding into the pool steps away. Guests spend mornings on their private patio, afternoons at the beach across the street, and evenings in the outdoor shower. Repeat visitors book the same month every year, calling it their "favorite spot" and "a 10!"
Unbeatable Holmes Beach Location
From your front door, it's 100 yards across the street to Gulf beach access—less than a minute's walk. Walk three minutes to Skinny's Place, five minutes to Manatee Beach and Anna Maria Beach Cafe. Publix is 400 yards away. Dozens of restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance from this prime 37th Street and Gulf Drive location. No car needed, though parking sits just outside your door.
Historic Charm, Complete 2025 Renovation
Built in 1950 as a classic Old Florida beach resort, Bungalow #2 was completely renovated in 2025. The 507-square-foot layout feels more spacious than Bungalow #1, with a generous bedroom (9'6" x 16'9"), full kitchen, and 161-square-foot private patio with direct bedroom access to the heated pool. Guests praise the "updated appliances," "beautifully decorated" spaces, and water purifier system in the refrigerator.
Sleeping Arrangements
Perfect for couples seeking comfort and space.
Bedroom: King bed (9'6" x 16'9") with direct patio access
Living Area: Pull-out sofa for additional guests
The king bed earns consistent praise: "super comfy," "very comfortable." The spacious bedroom and quality bedding ensure restful nights. The pull-out sofa adds flexibility for a third guest when needed.
Private Patio & Shared Heated Pool
Step from your bedroom directly onto your private patio (12'6" x 17'2"). The heated pool is shared with three other bungalows but feels private thanks to tropical landscaping. The standout amenity? The private outdoor shower—couples love showering under the stars after beach days. The patio includes dining seating and Weber grill access. Winter visitors especially appreciate the heated pool for swimming in cooler temperatures.
