About this property

Valhalla Down · Gulf Front · 8-Yr Guests · Renovated 2025

  • VRC16-000570

    2BR · 1BA · Sleeps 6 · 744 Sq Ft · Ground-Level Direct Beach Access · Sept 2025 Remodel · Covered Beachfront Patio · Gulf Views from Every Room · Indoor Laundry · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · Parking for 2

    Step off the covered patio directly onto white sand — no stairs, no crossing parking areas, no hauling gear. Valhalla Downstairs is a ground-level Gulf-front unit in Holmes Beach where the September 2025 renovation left no surface untouched. Guests who returned after 8 consecutive years described the experience as unchanged in the ways that matter and transformed in every other way.

    The remodel removed walls to create open sightlines from the bedrooms through the living room to the Gulf-facing windows — you can see the water from your bed. Modern LVP flooring throughout. Recessed LED lighting. Gray shaker kitchen with geometric floral backsplash, white quartz countertops, and stainless appliances including a dishwasher added specifically at guest request. Eat-in dining with Gulf views.

    The covered patio has composite decking, exposed wood beams, yellow Adirondack chairs, a woven bistro dining set, and a charcoal grill. Morning dolphin shows from the patio. Spectacular sunsets. A full-size washer and dryer is now inside the unit in a dedicated laundry room with beach gear storage — another guest-requested upgrade that makes extended stays genuinely practical.

    Two bedrooms sleep six. The primary has a king bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The living room gray sofa converts to a queen sleeper. One full bathroom with frameless glass shower and LED-lit mirror. Smart TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. High-speed WiFi. Central AC.

    Publix, Walgreens, restaurants, and the free island trolley are all within walking distance.

    One small pet is welcome with a $150 non-refundable fee. Direct beach access makes morning dog walks genuinely easy.

    Valhalla Downstairs requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for two vehicles.

    *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.
