About this property

Beach Front, Ocean Views, Heated Pool, Tennis & Beach Deck! Recently Renovated.

  • Welcome to our vacation home, “Almost Heaven”! We believe you will agree with our name once you visit this gem on Anna Maria Island! Our recently completely renovated 3BR/2BA ocean-view condo is in the heart of Anna Maria Island. With private beach access, lighted tennis/pickleball courts, a private balcony, and one of the largest heated pools on Anna Maria, you will love all that Almost Heaven and Gulf Place has to offer. Gulf Place is a small, thoughtfully designed, and carefully maintained condo complex that offers guests a beach vacation to remember. There is an on-site manager to ensure that our guests have an enjoyable stay.

    Our spacious end unit was completely updated at the beginning of 2024 to provide all the modern comforts in a relaxed beach atmosphere. There are views of the Gulf from the spacious living room and private balcony. Our unit’s balcony is ideally located in the most shaded and breezy location of the entire complex. Enjoy views of the Gulf over the heated pool in shaded comfort, or take a stroll down the stairs from your porch to the pool and private deck overlooking the beautiful turquoise waters of Florida’s Gulf Coast. From the private deck, you can access the white, sugary beaches of Anna Maria Island, where you can walk for miles, take a swim, look for dolphins, or search for seashells. If your timing is right, you may even see a nesting or hatching sea turtle.

    Our 3BR/2BA condo is one of the most spacious on the island. The master bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed, television, closet, and a private bathroom with a shower. One guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, television, and closet, while the second bedroom has a closet and a queen-sized bed with a twin bunk bed, allowing couples or children to enjoy this great layout. The guest bedrooms share a newly renovated guest bath with a tub. Note that we have a 6-person maximum occupancy (including children), which is strictly enforced.

    The newly remodeled living room is spacious and furnished with comfort being the top priority! Enjoy watching your favorite show on the large screen TV from one of the comfortable reclining sofas or have your dinner on the large dining room table while watching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. We have even supplied games and puzzles for the whole family to enjoy! Free Wi-fi is also included!

    As an end unit, our living room and all the bedrooms enjoy views of the beautiful outdoors. The bedrooms, guest bath, and living room were completely updated. The condo is completely furnished with all the amenities you would expect to have an enjoyable stay for a week or months. A fully updated and equipped kitchen, laundry room with washer and dryer, extra refrigerator, linens, towels, and beach chairs are provided! Just pack your beachwear and sunglasses, and we will take care of the rest!

    Almost Heaven is ideally located in Holmes Beach, the heart of Anna Maria Island. There is private parking if you bring a car, but why bother as Anna Maria has a free trolley and other free transportation services that stop right outside. Although many shops, restaurants, and pubs are within walking distance, you can visit all that Anna Maria’s 7 miles of beaches have to offer with these free services! Our lovely island has a variety of food choices and many cuisines to suit any taste., from cafes and pubs to fine dining. Many local restaurants and nightspots offer live music nightly. Our favorite being the Freckled Fin Irish Pub, within walking distance. Truly, there is something for everyone!

    We are dedicated to you having a wonderful vacation. We live less than a mile away, and as premier VRBO hosts, we will ensure that your stay at “Almost Heaven” exceeds your expectations!

We had a great stay at Almost Heaven! This is our second year to Anna Maria Island and second time staying at Gulf Place and we cannot imagine staying anywhere else! All the units are so close to the beach and pool, literally steps to either, and with having young kids it’s so convenient to be that close. The beach is beautiful and the pool is well kept and never felt crowded. There was an issue with the lock to get into the unit however Gy was great at communicating that to us prior to our arrival with a solution to it as well.

Amazing views of the ocean while also being very close to the pool, which the kids loved. Had everything you will need for a week stay at the beach, including all of the beach accessories, chairs, umbrellas and even games. Already booked for next year!

We’ve been going to gulf place for 38 years. The location and price are great. The condos are not upscale exclusive prices. They are family friendly and kept updated and clean. The layout of the property is ideal and has great views and beach access. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was spotless and very well-kept, with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. Being on the first floor was so convenient, and we loved having easy access in and out. The owners provided plenty of beach gear, which made our days by the ocean even better. The décor and artwork gave the place such a nice, welcoming feel. Overall, it was comfortable, clean, and had all the little touches that made it feel like home. We’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay on Holmes Beach

Just fantastic. Gy was a great host and the unit was just as advertised, so clean and fully stocked I would absolutely stay again. It was great being right on the beach yet still having a heated pool. First floor was convenient, given we had an infant.

We loved our beach front property! The amenities were really great and exactly what we were looking for - close beach access, heated pool and tennis court. Somehow, the weather was also perfect. 75 degrees and sunny for Thanksgiving, with a comfortable living space and new appliances! The neighbors were also extremely friendly, so we enjoyed making some new friends. The lit tennis courts were also well used, and I heard they'll be resurfaced soon, even though they are in pretty decent condition. Excited to book with this host again soon. Thanks for a great stay.

Spring break with the family

Perfect location in the perfect condo! We loved our stay at “Almost Heaven” - the condo was well outfitted with everything you need for a stay at the beach. We loved that the pool was Gulf front and the beachside deck was a nice amenity too. The master bed was a little firm for our liking, but that is just personal preference. Rent this condo - you will love it!

Fabulous Condo on the beach

We enjoyed Almost Heaven. The location is very convenient to shopping and dining. This unit has only 4 steps to get into the condo which is very helpful for seniors or those who have difficulty with steps. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The unit was very clean and nicely decorated. We will definitely rent again.

Lovely home away from home

This property offers a fully equipped kitchen, a feature this cook appreciates! Newly renovated kitchen and baths are beautiful, and the entire apartment is thoughtfully decorated. Comfortable living room furniture (no rattan!) was relaxing when we weren't on the beach or in the pool. One of the nicest condos at Gulf Place imo!

This is a nicely updated unit only a few steps to a beautiful beach. It was extremely clean. The owners have thought of & provided everything you need. Communication was fast & easy. The beds were very comfortable, something we rarely encounter with a rental. Unit looks exactly as pictured. We arrived later than expected so appreciated the easy entry with a keycode. There is a small beach deck beyond the pool if you don't like sand in your toes but want the view. We didn't use the pool but it looked clean & inviting. There is a shed with a variety of beach gear for your use. My only tiny complaint is the knives provided were extremely dull. We will definitely consider renting here again!

Absolutely outstanding

Communication was top notch. Everything pre-arrival explained, I knew exactly where to park, where to check in, etc. The location is exactly as described, parking is a breeze, you’re ON the beach, the pool is steps away, there’s plenty of local stores and restaurants nearby. I’ve stayed many places but this one was the best. Absolutely perfect host.

Truly ‘Almost Heaven ‘

We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful property on Holmes Beach. The condo was spacious, spotless and well appointed. Lovely pool and tennis/pickleball court. Right on the beach and close to restaurants and shopping. Gulf Place is a beautifully kept condo complex with very helpful staff. The owners were easy to contact but really we had no occasion as the whole two weeks were nothing but enjoyable and seamless. Would highly recommend this property.
