About this property

Renovated 2025 · Private Pool · Screened Patio · Pet Friendly

  • VRC19-000216

    Sea-Esta was completely renovated in 2025 and sits ground-level in the heart of Holmes Beach — no stairs, easy in and out, and parking for two vehicles right at the unit.

    The backyard has a private unheated pool — worth noting for guests booking in cooler months — and a screened patio with a gas grill and seating built for evenings after a long beach day. The beach is a few blocks away. Tennis courts and boat ramp are convenient to the property.

    Three bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed. The first guest room has two twin beds. The third bedroom has a sleeper sofa — functions as the living space for the remaining guests, so worth knowing if a proper guest bedroom matters. Two full bathrooms. Full-size washer and dryer in the unit.

    One small dog is welcome with a pet fee — contact IVP for the current fee before booking with a pet.

    Sea-Esta requires a one-week minimum stay.

    *Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
    credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due

    You are vacationing in a residential area, please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM.

Perfect house for a family of 4. Loved that it had a wagon and beach chairs, super handy! House included a lot of extra house items (paper towels, trash bags, etc) so that was pretty awesome, too. Had a wonderful week on AMI! Would definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect. Close to the beach, anything you would need to go to the beach, chair, wagon, cooler it was great. The pool at the house was also a great perk. Would stay there again

A good value, recently updated!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are return renters here. We enjoyed our stay at Sea-Esta. The furnishings have been updated, the floors have been repaired and the lanai has had outdated furniture removed. The kitchen is well equipped except for a set of tongs, and remember to bring your coffee filters! The pool was wonderful and the unit was mostly clean. We had to move a piece of furniture to retrieve something we dropped and found that the area behind furniture is dirty with dust bunnies and dead insects. You should have your cleaners work inspected!

Great place and great price

We liked everything about this house except the living room couch. It was not comfortable and did not have side tables. Other than that it was great! The pool was small but we swam every day and we appreciated all of the things for the beach. We also LOVED the washer and dryer!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I thought the house was going to be small but it was just right for six of us. Pool was fantastic! The property had everything we needed and was super close for my husband to fish. Only negative things were the couch was a bit rough, house needs sprayed for bugs I think as my kids had bites on them after sleeping, and there were a few big bugs when we arrived. Overall we had a wonderful stay, the location was everything!

Needs some up dating

Rented for 5 weeks. Master Bath: tub would not hold water, and shower not the best either. Master Bed was comfortable. That was the good thing about the place! Patio: needed a good cleaning!! Cushions very dirty, floor dirty. We cleaned the grill, best we could before using. Umbrella in table broken. Beach chairs and cart were terrible broken dirty and unusable. (We did complain about this and by the end of our stay chairs and cart were replaced. Living Room furniture very dirty. Complained and they got cleaned our last week there! Recliners In sofa do not work. They were broken and not fixable. We’re moving on ‘

All we needed for a stay at the beach

The property was clean and the beds were very comfy. The neighborhood is nice but it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. The layout of the house is great but the third bedroom is really just a trundle bed and tv and you walk through it to get to the pool. It wasn’t a problem for us as we only needed 2 bedrooms and it would work for kids but I don’t think adults would be comfortable there. The house had everything we needed, a well stocked kitchen and all appliances worked well. We had problems with a shower door but they were out to fix it the next morning. All in all, it’s a good place but it could use a refresh and update. The couch isn’t the most comfortable and the recliners at each end don’t work. Nothing that could be fixed during our stay but needs updated for the future. There were brand new beach chairs and a great cart to haul things. The pool wasn’t heated but we enjoyed lounging there in the Florida sunshine!

Very Clean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was very clean and had nice furnishings. I would not consider the property to be a three bedroom. The third bedroom was also the main access to the pool area, causing some conflicts for our group. The pool is small for a group of 6 people. There were minimal beach accessories and what was provided was in poor condition. Overall nice quiet neighborhood, but quite a long walk to the nearest beach.

A bit misleading - but good value.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The duplex is very dated. The furniture is old and worn, the couch with recliners is broken. The chase chair has upholstery which is ripped and threadbare. One bathroom had some mildew around the shower enclosure. There were two cockroaches in the unit. the WIFI didn't work at first but IVP sent a repairman on Sunday to fix it. The Lanai was dirty, we had to sweep it and shake out the cushions full of food. The lanai cushions were covered in mildew. The kitchen was great! Well equipped, beds were clean and comfortable. Beach chairs were nice and beach towels were great!.

September Sea esta

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon entering, there were huge dead bugs in the hallway and in the cabinet in the kitchen-shouldn't have been since they were supposedly just there cleaning. There were dirty rings in the toilets, which they cleaned when they returned. The floor in the master was terrible as other guests have commented and I was told that is soon to be fixed. The place was suited for us, but definitely needs some help-painting, clean caulking in bathrooms, and others. Beach chairs were hopeless and we couldn't use them. The beds were good and we enjoyed the pool. Staff was helpful and location was very convenient to everything

Beautiful little home

We wanted to be on island close Beaches. This home did that. Pool was major selling point our kids, they enjoy swimming every evening. Only thing wrong was the living room and one bedroom TV didn't work.( I think it was the cable) But the rest of the home was beautiful and quiet neighbors.
