  • Summary:

    Tropical-themed getaway w/ heated private pool - walk to free trolley, shopping



    The Space:

    Island Time is a fantastic Holmes Beach rental inspired by beautiful island destinations around the world. From the West and East Indies to Bali Hai, this home offers a tropical style with the amenities of a luxury getaway. It's only a three-block walk to the beach! Soak in the private heated pool all day, catch sunset every evening, and rest peacefully each night. Island Time is the Anna Maria Island beach rental your family deserves.



    While many Florida towns are great for family vacations, Holmes Beach offers a slower pace, friendly locals, and activities for all ages. Just a short walk from this central island rental you’ll find free trolley stops, shopping, and dining. Walk south on Marina Drive and you’ll find the community skate park with a playground and shuffleboard court too. When you’re ready to explore all of Anna Maria Island leave your cars in the three driveway spaces and take the trolley everywhere.



    Feel right at home at Island Time. Gather everyone in the main living space to watch the collection of DVDs on the flat screen, or hop on the free WiFi. The backyard is a true tropical oasis with heated pool, lush landscaping, and an authentic thatch roof Tiki umbrella. Relax in the hammock under the palm trees while dinner cooks on the five-burner propane grill and salt breezes pass by.



    All you’ll need is your swimwear and sunblock to make this vacation perfect! Reserve your tropical family getaway today at Island Time.

Backyard oasis near the beach

Enjoyed our stay very much. Quiet neighborhood with little traffic so made walks to and from beach easy. Home is very nice with all basics covered. Would certainly stay again!

Nice pool and close to beach, restaurants and pickle ball courts. The only thing is the beds were lumpy and squeaky.Overall we would stay again.

Loved this place

We spent a lot of time on the patio and in the pool. The tiki hut saw a lot of us every morning for coffee and late afternoon for drinks. The house was very well maintained and clean. Possibly could use more towel racks in each bath and possibly over the bedroom doors. All else was wonderful!

6/10 Okay

Not for us!

Loved, loved, loved the outside pool area!! The house was just ok. We had ants and the rental company took two days to send out someone. And it only got rid of the ants for one day. Definitely not a house we will stay in again. And will not book with Vacasa again.

Amazing back yard, wouldn’t rent again

We go to AMI yearly and have always rented a house/pool combo in this general area. This house was….fine. The backyard and pool were probably the best we’ve ever had and with our kids ages 6 and 9, the layout of the house was great. That being said, upon arrival the pool had several HUGE blobs of previous guests hair. We called the rental company and they asked us to send pictures before they’d send someone out “sometime during our stay”. It was so gross and that’s a terrible response. We scooped them out ourselves. There’s definitely moisture/mold around most of the AC vents which wasn’t a massive deal but it was kind of bothersome and they were overall so dirty looking. The primary shower takes a good three minutes to drain once you start your shower which wasn’t a dealbreaker but needs maintenance. There is an empty lot next door that looks like it’s about to be developed. Didn’t bother us at all but if you’re there when work is being done, I’d be super annoyed so double check that. The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes, we’ve stayed in two other houses (that we’d rent again) within a couple blocks and they were a much shorter walk because we didn’t have to zig zag quite as much to get to beach access point. Overall enjoyed our stay but we’ve paid similar or less for other houses in the same area that we’d choose over this one in the future.

We absolutely loved this house. House was perfect for our family and what we wanted, rooms were very nice and clean and the backyard pool was amazing! Also came with some toys and a wagon which was perfect with our 3 year old and carrying everything to the beach. Walk to the beach was a bit longer than we’d hoped but still not bad. Location is perfect for being close to everything else. Would 100% stay here again, already missing lounging by this pool.

This was a great place to stay for a Spring Break week. It was probably a 7-8 minute walk to the beach, so not bad at all (made easier by having a wagon we could use to haul chairs and other beach gear). The kitchen had anything you could want to cook (we didn’t do much of that). It was super clean and we used the pool a lot (area behind the house was outstanding). I would absolutely recommend!

What an amazing house

Perfect tropical getaway with a perfect and immaculate poolside paradise! Very close to the trolley, restaurants, shopping and the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island. We have rented other properties before but this is by far the best! We can't wait to be back!

Great Family Place

The house was totally remodeled and very clean. The pool was great. A little far to walk to the beach for my taste, but could easily be driven. Strongly suggest renting a golf cart while staying on the island. Plenty of shopping, places to eat and drink close.

Loved this house.

The decor was very pleasing, the size is really nice, the kitchen well stocked with cookware and dinnerware. The back yard was very private and quiet, the pool was beautiful, clean and warm, the patio was ideal for coffee in the morning and relaxing during the day. We had a great time here and really enjoyed our stay. We will be back hopefully soon and for a longer stay.
