King Bed Beach Bungalow | Steps to Gulf | Pool & Patio | Holmes Beach

VRC 19-000212

Why Guests Love It
Some guests return for their eleventh year. One couple called it "heaven walking out of the bedroom onto our private patio" and gliding into the pool steps away. Guests spend mornings on their private patio, afternoons at the beach across the street, and evenings in the outdoor shower. Repeat visitors book the same month every year, calling it their "favorite spot" and "a 10!"

Unbeatable Holmes Beach Location
From your front door, it's 100 yards across the street to Gulf beach access—less than a minute's walk. Walk three minutes to Skinny's Place, five minutes to Manatee Beach and Anna Maria Beach Cafe. Publix is 400 yards away. Dozens of restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance from this prime 37th Street and Gulf Drive location. No car needed, though parking sits just outside your door.

Historic Charm, Complete 2025 Renovation
Built in 1950 as a classic Old Florida beach resort, Bungalow #2 was completely renovated in 2025. The 507-square-foot layout feels more spacious than Bungalow #1, with a generous bedroom (9'6" x 16'9"), full kitchen, and 161-square-foot private patio with direct bedroom access to the heated pool. Guests praise the "updated appliances," "beautifully decorated" spaces, and water purifier system in the refrigerator.

Sleeping Arrangements
Perfect for couples seeking comfort and space.
Bedroom: King bed (9'6" x 16'9") with direct patio access
Living Area: Pull-out sofa for additional guests
The king bed earns consistent praise: "super comfy," "very comfortable." The spacious bedroom and quality bedding ensure restful nights. The pull-out sofa adds flexibility for a third guest when needed.

Private Patio & Shared Heated Pool
Step from your bedroom directly onto your private patio (12'6" x 17'2"). The heated pool is shared with three other bungalows but feels private thanks to tropical landscaping. The standout amenity? The private outdoor shower—couples love showering under the stars after beach days. The patio includes dining seating and Weber grill access. Winter visitors especially appreciate the heated pool for swimming in cooler temperatures.

Beach access: 100 yards (1 minute)
Manatee Beach & Beach Cafe: 5 minutes

Perfect for These Travelers
Couples seeking a romantic beach retreat with a king bed, repeat visitors who book annually (some for 11+ years), beach lovers wanting the shortest walk to the Gulf, groups who rent multiple Anna Cabana bungalows for reunions or weddings, winter visitors who love the heated pool, and budget-conscious travelers seeking maximum location and comfort.

Inside the Bungalow
The kitchen (9'9" x 16'0") is exceptionally well-equipped with full-size appliances and water purifier system. The living room (11'1" x 10'9") offers seating, TV, and 1-gig WiFi. The bathroom (7'7" x 4'11") is more spacious than Bungalow #1. Laundry facilities are shared on-site. Beach chairs, wagon, beach towels, and all linens included.

Why Choose Anna Cabana Bungalow #2
Bungalow #2 stands apart for guests who value authenticity, location, and space combined with intimacy. At 507 square feet, it's more spacious than Bungalow #1 while maintaining cozy cottage character. Guests return for their eleventh consecutive year, and families dream of booking all four bungalows together. The 2025 renovation brings modern comfort to a 1950s Old Florida setting. The king bed, outdoor shower, private patio-to-pool access, and unbeatable location create an experience guests call "paradise."

Summary
Anna Cabana Bungalow #2 delivers a spacious, beautifully renovated beach retreat in perfect Holmes Beach location. You're 100 yards from the Gulf, three minutes from waterfront dining, and steps from your private patio to a heated pool. The king bed, outdoor shower, and direct bedroom-to-patio access create a flow guests call "heaven." Ideal for couples, repeat visitors, or anyone who values walkability and genuine island character. Book early—availability fills quickly with longtime guests who reserve the same weeks annually.

Wonderful Stay in Anna Cabana 2

We had such a great week here, the property was wonderful and perfect for myself and my daughter. Just minutes from the beautiful beach, it offered a quiet retreat with a pool just outside our back door. The bungalow was stocked with everything we needed and the grocery store was just a short walk away. We had great neighbours during our stay as well. We will definitely return to this beautiful island!

Fantastic!

Stayed in Anna Cabana Bungalow 2 for a week. Fantastic location just across the street from beach access. Beautiful property - a tropical paradise! Enjoyed relaxing in the hammock after watching amazing sunsets on the beach. The outside shower is an added bonus! Super comfortable bed, updated kitchen and bath and everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back again!

Great vacation!

This property was absolutely the best. We stayed there for three weeks.Just a very short walk to the beach. The shopping center is just two blocks away which was a nice little walk when we wanted to pick up ice cream or any of our supplies. The amenities were fantastic. We had a nice little patio area right outside our back door. The pool was just a couple of steps from our patio. It was a very private and secluded area surrounded by fence and trees. This unit also provided a private shower area just off the patio for those hot showers when returning from the beach. It was our own little oasis. This unit had a full kitchen with everything you would need to prepare your meals on those days that you would prefer to stay there for your meal. A gas grill was also provided. We had many nights where we cooked steaks, burgers and and assortment of seafood on the grill.If you are lucky enough to reserve this property I would not hesitate. We have stayed on the island at many different places since the 1980s and this one is right at the top of our list. The owners, who we met while we were there, we’re just fantastic. This property is maintained at the highest level. We totally enjoyed our vacation.
