About this House

Waterfront luxury, exceptional boating, and true peace of mind come together at this beautifully updated Grand Canal home in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. Perfectly positioned on one of the island's most sought-after deep-water canals with no fixed bridges, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers direct access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, making it an outstanding opportunity for boating enthusiasts. Recently inspected this property has a clean report card and in excellent condition. Meticulously maintained and extensively updated, this furnished home (with a few exclusions) is truly move-in ready. Designed to embrace the island lifestyle, its desirable southern exposure fills the home with natural light while walls of impact-rated sliding glass doors frame breathtaking canal views and create seamless indoor-outdoor living. The private tropical setting features mature landscaping, a producing mango tree, and a fenced backyard centered around a heated pool, oversized spa, and an impressive 12' x 60' dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or setting off for a day on the water. Inside, white Italian oak-inspired plank tile flooring flows throughout the home. The spacious family room showcases vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a custom entertaining bar, while the beautifully appointed chef's kitchen offers quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with appliance garages, a large center island, and premium Fisher & Paykel and Bosch appliances. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes spacious guest accommodations, a hidden laundry room, and a private waterfront primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, water closet, and direct access to a peaceful outdoor retreat overlooking the canal. A flexible den easily functions as a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional guest space. Extensive improvements completed in 2021 provide exceptional quality and lasting value, including a new roof, impact windows and sliding glass doors, updated dock and pilings, and all-new Schedule 40 drain piping beneath the slab. In 2025, a 26KW whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank was added, providing dependable backup power. The covered waterfront lanai is already plumbed and wired for a future outdoor kitchen, while the oversized garage, carport, and generous parking offer convenience for family and guests alike. Located in the heart of Holmes Beach, just minutes from Anna Maria Island's world-famous beaches, waterfront restaurants, boutique shopping, and island attractions, this exceptional property offers one of the finest boating locations on the island. Combining luxury, quality construction, extensive recent improvements, and remarkable waterfront access, this is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional canal-front home where all the hard work has already been done.** Property information received from third-party sources is considered reliable but is not guaranteed.

  • Kjmitchellky
    "It’s sad that dogs are not allowed to walk on the beach on a lease- I understand when owners don’t clean up after them but we’ve considered not coming back to Ami over it!"
  • Paolabaranowski
    "It’s on an island in the Gulf of Mexico. There is a minimum height requirement for buildings. It still has an old Florida feeling to it"
  • Alan o. S. G.
    "Our little 7 mile Island has 3 towns, City of Anna mAria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach. As long as you get "On island time" when you're here you'll LOVE it. Go to the beach, take the trolley to go shopping or to eat, don't drive around!!"
  • Cheryl R.
    "I have lived on the island in the past & know it well. This is a great location, walk to restaurants, shops, library. No bridges and a short boat ride down the canal to the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. "
  • floridahouse2014
    "Family has lived here since the mid-60's. The island still has the old-town Fl feel...no huge commercial growth! Restaurants, entertainment and shopping within walking distance. The people are friendly and pleasant. Public trolley available to get around the island. Sunset views simply cannot be beat!!!"
  • Joyce A.
    "I have lived here at Island Village on Holmes beach since 1992...it's a beautiful community directly across the street from the public beach with white sandy beaches, blue assure waters...colorful sky scapes"
  • Peggy b.
    "Palm Harbor Subdivision is just a five minute walk from EVERYTHING. There is a Publix grocery store, CVS and Walgreens, great coffee, salons and even church, but most importantly, THE BEACH. It is a great communting area because you can get to I75 in 20 minutes. "
  • Robert
    "Just perfect. Clean. Friendly. "
  • Bernardsdaughter
    "I lived on this street years ago. The view is now blocked by the next streets put in behind it blocking water views. The golf course is there so the homes get hit constantly with golf balls. Believe me, I lived there for 4 years! Windows were broken Dings into the side, front and front door etc. I would go deeper in for better views or to the very end of the streets. Schools are not good, I don't recommend the area for families with young children. Just my opinion but my children went to private schools. Pricey home without a pool. I can't believe there's no pool."
