This, coupled with its private, heated pool, and convenient location make it a perfect place to spend an adventurous vacation under Florida’s sun!
When you drive up to Gulf View Cottage, you’ll first notice the home’s unique shape, its large, sanded driveway, and the beautiful tropical plants that adorn its front yard space. Inside, you’ll walk into the common area of the home and see the dining room, kitchen, and an opening to the living room. The kitchen is stunning and expansive. It features beautiful granite countertops, a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and a kitchen island that doubles as a breakfast bar for two. The dining room, which you’ll see first when you enter the home, is lovely and offers guests a large dining table with seating for six. The living room is wonderful as it features a light blue couch, two matching wicker lounge chairs, and a flat-screen TV.

Without question, Gulf View Cottage is an incredible rental perfect for guests with all kinds of vacation desires – from a private, heated pool and access to the beach, to the fun local spots in Holmes Beach that locals rave about!
This property requires a 7-night minimum stay as set forth by Holmes Beach’s Land Development Code. Occupancy may not exceed 6.
Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person.
The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to:
7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels)
10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels)
The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000.

This was our 3rd year renting through Island Real Estate but we chose a different house this trip. Although it wasn’t directly on the beach, it was a much easier and shorter walk to the beach than the last house we stayed at on the beach. The Gulf View Cottage had everything we needed including beach chairs, a wagon, cooler, boogie boards, etc. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice vacation home, close to beach. Enjoyed our stay.
- Kathy S , Posted: 05/10/2024
Comfortable for our group!
The property was very comfortable for our group of 10. The pool and spa were great, especially for the children. The kitchen was equipped nicely. The walk to the beach, trolley , grocery, and shopping was so easy. We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning in the future.

Q:Hello, Since this is a brand new listing, I wanted to inquire about beach supplies. Are there beach chairs, a wagon, & possible beach toys? I'm assuming there isn't any of this but would like to make sure so we don't overpack for our stay. I appreciate the smooth flow of this process & we look forward to our stay in July. Thank you, Tia- Tia S. Posted: 05/17/2023A:Hi Tia,
Unfortunately, Island Real Estate Vacations cannot guarantee there will be any beach chairs, umbrellas or toys at your vacation rental property. However, if upon arrival you find there are chairs, etc. then you are welcome to enjoy them. Some guests leave items behind and some owners will purchase an inventory of fun beach equipment a few times a year.
Too often these items get left behind on the beach, broken, etc. so there really is no way for us to know what is there from week to week. We suggest you check-in, take a look around the property to see what is there that you would like to use and then if you feel you want something extra, contact one of the companies listed in the link below:
