A Getaway Retreat A

One block from the bay — and the bay here means a kayak launch, playground, and basketball court within easy reach of the front door. A Getaway Retreat A is a Holmes Beach vacation rental with a two-level layout, a private sundeck for morning coffee, and a downstairs outdoor area with a gas grill and firepit for the evenings.
The two-car garage is underneath the building — covered parking for both vehicles, which is a genuine rarity in Bradenton Beach. The downstairs sitting area has the grill and firepit alongside it, making the outdoor space functional at multiple levels throughout the day.
Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The living room queen sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. Two full bathrooms. An in-unit washer and dryer handles the week's beach clothes. The kitchen has new appliances throughout. High-speed WiFi included.
The storage area has a beach buggy with chairs and full beach gear — grab everything and head to the beach. The tropical yard has comfortable seating for the afternoons when the pool is calling less loudly than the shade.
The beach is a walk from the property — the bay is one block, the Gulf beach is further. Worth knowing if beach swimming is the priority. The free AMI trolley stops nearby for getting around without a car.
Pet-friendly with a $150 non-refundable fee. Parking for two vehicles in the garage.
*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
