About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

4 Bedroom, 2 Bath. Heated Pool & Spa! Close to Beaches!

Modern amenities blended with a touch of old Spanish charm! Clean, spacious, cool and comfortable 4-bedroom home, big enough for the whole family to stretch out (1,650 square feet, plus over 1,600 square feet of screened in outdoor living space as well).

Enjoy dinner out in the screened courtyard, or sit back with a cold drink by the pool or spa after a long day in the beautiful Florida sunshine! The screened in saltwater pool and spa area offer over 1,600 square feet to stretch out and is a nice reprieve from the flying Florida critters that like to harass in the evenings. And with a heated saltwater pool and spa, an evening swim or a relaxing spa session may be in order!

Literally steps away from Palma Sola Bay where you can see Manatee swimming in the marina or grab a rod and reel and sit by the water's edge and relax. Or maybe you'd like to take a cruise around Palma Sola Bay on one of our Beach Cruiser bikes?

If you love to cook, you'll be happy to know that the kitchen is fully stocked with hardly a utensil or need overlooked. Pull out the blender for a homemade PiƱa Colada or cook a nice meal - you'll have everything you need.

When the day is done and you're feeling content, slide into soft sheets, fluffy pillows, and a big comfortable king sized bed with your favorite book! Or catch-up on your favorite shows with complementary Directv or access your Netflix/Hulu/Amazon account from our smart TV (Master Bedroom).

Tuck the kids and their tired little eyes into one of our three guest rooms. Guest rooms one and two are equipped with two twin beds each (XL twin beds in guest room 2), and guest room three has one queen sized bed and a smart TV for Netflix/Hulu/Amazon access.

Palma Sola Retreat is in a wonderful location. Steps from Palma Sola Bay, and a short seven minute drive across the bay to the beautiful white sand Gulf beaches of Anna Maria Island.

On the Bay, be sure to check out the paddle boards and kayak rentals which are on location, rent jet skis or look into beach horse riding!

Nearby Robinson's Preserve is a great place for a hike or bike ride with the family, or maybe a morning run?

Have time for 18? Hit one of the area's many beautiful golf courses!

Highly recommend!! We stayed 7 wonderful nights at this beautiful home. Tons of special touches and feels right at home. My family of 6 will definitely be staying here again. From the pool and covered area to the extra beach towels, to the kitchen being fully stocked with everything you would need, plenty of room for my family, the beds where super comfortable, extra fans in every room, tons of beach chairs and canopy for the perfect beach days. The home and area were just PERFECT!!!! We loved every minute of our stay. The only issue we had was with the AC not cooling properly but after reaching out to the owners, they had an HVAC company there the very next day. James and Regan were the best hosts and so helpful during our stay!! Definitely, book you stay at this beautiful home and only around a 7 min. drive to the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited. Thank you so much James & Regan!!
