Franks Beach House · Gulf Front · Bose Sound

VRC16-000543

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · Direct Gulf Front · Large Open Deck · Screened Lanai · Bose Sound System · Granite Kitchen · Garden Bathtub · Beach Chairs & Toys Provided · Undercover Parking · 5-Min Walk to Restaurants

Direct Gulf front in Holmes Beach. The large open deck faces the water — the right spot for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening sunsets over the Gulf. When shade is what you want, the screened lanai is steps away. The beach stretches for miles in either direction from the front of the house.

Inside, Franks Beach House has details that most Gulf-front homes don't bother with. A Bose sound system in the living room. Two large picture windows added specifically to maximize the beach view. The granite kitchen has updated cabinets and full appliances — properly equipped for a week of cooking at home. The master bathroom has a large garden bathtub for the end of a long beach day.

Three bedrooms sleep six across four proper beds. The master has a king bed. The second guest bedroom has two queen beds. The third bedroom has one queen bed. No sofa beds — everyone sleeps in a real bed. Smart TVs in all three bedrooms and the living room. High-speed WiFi throughout.

A storage room holds beach chairs and toys — grab everything on the way out and leave it when you come back. Gas grill on-site for cookouts. Full-size washer and dryer. Undercover parking for three cars. Shopping and restaurants are a five-minute walk.

Franks Beach House requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for three vehicles. Not pet-friendly.

2nd visit

Our second time at this property and we plan to return. It is on a quiet beach, has a very well stocked kitchen, great living space, terrific deck for morning coffee and evening beverages, walking distance to drugstore, Publix, wine/liquor store, ice cream shop, cafes, and a few shops.

Best location on Anna Maria.

The location was spectacular. Right on a private beach, close to the grocery store and short golf cart ride from everything on the island. The house cleaning side did have a few issues (no trash bags, no dish soap, only one partial roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, dirty hand prints on the front door and bathroom doors), but I’m certain the management company will get those issues fixed. Overall, a very enjoyable stay. Everyone in the family had a great time.

Perfect beach stay

This house is clean, well-equipped, and most importantly sits on a gorgeous beachfront spot. We loved sitting out on the deck and watching the sun set and literally walking down the steps to the beach. Toddler friendly too: easy to close off the open living space and steps to a Publix. Would happily stay here again.

Great stay!

Very nice place that had a well equipped kitchen. Which made life a lot easier! Going on Memorial weekend is not recommended. Restaurants were very busy with a minimum 2 hour wait so we cooked every meal. We tried to go to the mainland and after sitting in traffic for an hour and a half we turned around and went to the grocery store. Will definitely come back!

Great location and the beach is amazing!

This is my second trip to AMI, and this property was an amazing choice. Location: It is centrally located in Holmes Beach within walking distance to Walgreens, restaurants and strip mall shops, but yet it's tucked away on Gulf that you feel isolated. Equal jaunt to go down to Bradenton Beach or up to Anna Maria the town. Beach: I have stayed up in Anna Maria and I couldn't believe how much closer you are to the Gulf here than up north. Easy to drag everything to the beach. Views are near panoramic from inside the house the gulf is so close. And the sunsets are stunning - front row to them. Sand incredible. Lots of shells to hunt for. Outside: The big deck is so much fun. A variety of furniture in great shape. Mix of sun and shade. Porch before going into the house or cut through directly to the kitchen. I would recommend when the table needs replacing to get a pub height table/chairs to see over the railing and a better view of the dolphins. The outdoor shower area needs some maintenance, and I submitted that upon checkout. Inside: The beach and yellow decor is charming. Everything was CLEAN. The place is big enough for 6 but you don't feel overwhelmed by its size. Both bathrooms are spacious. (All showers no tubs, but we didn't care.) The three bedrooms are nice. Using the laundry in the master closet is a bit clunky with opening and closing the doors but I was grateful to have our own laundry. Also you'll probably unplug the land line phone to use the outlet near the nightstand. I would move that phone or get rid of it. Overall I was incredibly pleased with this house and would highly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful House in a great location

The property was perfect for our family vacation. The house is centrally located on the island and the beach was never crowded. The property management company was great and handled all of our needs or questions. MK
