The new granite kitchen, fully tiled shower, fresh coastal décor, and updated furnishings are complete and in place.

Manatee PublicBeach is directly across the street. The shared heated pool is steps from the unit. Hammocks are on the property for the afternoons when the beach has tired you out and the pool isn't enough. An outdoor shower handles the post-beach rinse before coming inside.

The unit was completely renovated in late 2024. New granite kitchen with modern appliances, fully tiled shower in the renovated bathroom, fresh coastal décor, and new furnishings throughout. Beach gear storage on the semi-private deck — chairs, umbrella, and wagon included for trips across the street.

High-speed 1-gig WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen for meals at home. Shared laundry on the property. Linens and towels provided.

Dogs are welcome with a $150 non-refundable fee. The dead-end street and the resort layout make this one of the more comfortable pet-friendly setups in Holmes Beach.

    We enjoyed our stay. It was beautiful. MI Happy Place Sea Horse was clean and comfortable. We loved the pool and loved being able to walk to the beach. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter and I spent a week at Mi Happy place / sea horse . The unit was very clean , well kept and looked as is did in the website . It was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach ,which was very convenient. The pool was also great ! We would definitely stay here only small recommendation would be to have a Keurig coffee machine instead of the basic brewing machine . I couldn't justify buying a pack of 100 filters and a bag of coffee for a week for just myself . A small box of coffee pods would have made more sense to me . Otherwise, no complaints at all. It wasn't our first visit to Anna Maria Island and it definitely won't be our last.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had another beautiful vacation-the only negative thing is that it has become so expensive to stay on the island I’m pretty sure this will be our last year. We have been coming for about 15 years and hate to say good-bye but has become to costly!😔

    We were disappointed with the cleanliness of this unit and lack of amenities. It was so easy to check in, the pool was simply amazing and a quick trip across the street and you were at the beach. So close to grocery store and great restaurants. Manager Ken was responsive and said loud a/c would be looked at but never heard or saw a technician. However, this place needs a deep clean especially the floors! The light grout is now black and the freezer and shower has rust. It would be nice if the owners would have supplied simple amenities such as salt and pepper, hand soap, toilet paper and coffee filters.

Location was great allowing for easy access to the beach, restaurants, and groceries. Description of the house was accurate. House was clean. The tiki bar shown in the picture is not actually on the property but across Gulf Drive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I booked this getaway, last minute. It was everything we expected and more. Everything was very clean, owner responded promptly, pool area was nice. We enjoy walking and everything we needed was within walking distance. Restaurants, beach, church, grocery store, shopping, ice cream. We chose not to rent a car, and worked out well for us. The uber from Sarasota airport was about $40. I gave the location a 4 star, just because not much for a few when sitting outside the resort and the road to cross to get to the beach is busy. I would come back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented three of the four cottages for a family of 9. The cottages and location were absolutely breath taking! A few steep to your right and you were on the beach, we you can play sand volleyball, enjoy a sunset, collect seashells (mornings are the best) or enjoy a pina colada at the Tiki Bar. A few steps to your left and you will find grocery store (reasonable priced), liquor store, Walgreens, and some cute store fronts. We took advantage of the free trolly at the beach and visited both end of the Island. Bridge Street, located on the bay side had great restaurants and variety of shops. We saw multiple dolphins on the pier. The house had everything we need and more, the beds were very comfortable and enough seating for a family gathering. We ate dinner outside and BBQ’s a few times during our stay. We didn’t need to rent any chairs or umbrella for the beach. We loaded up the wagon (was provided) with the cooler, chairs, umbrella, volleyball, and football and headed to the beach to enjoy the soft white sand. We enjoyed the pool daily! It was a nice spot to hang out together, play water games, sunbath, hang out in the hammocks, or play card games while enjoying the beautiful view. We hope to come back and fill the fourth house with more families members.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had another great stay. When we arrived our code didn’t work and it was after hours but I called and was given a new code right away. Easy peasy! Place felt very clean. Love the location and pool. Only complaint is it got hot when sleeping at night (but it is Florida 🤷‍♀️) and the ceiling fan in the bedroom with 2 beds clicks making it hard for me to sleep. (Light sleeper here) Luckily only slept in there a few nights when my 4 year old wanted me to- didn’t seem to effect her sleep any. Loved being a short walk to Publix- very convenient. Also all the beach items provided were a huge help! Never could’ve carried all our stuff and a baby without the wagon! Would stay again :)

    We had a great stay! Wonderfully landscaped area, felt like our own tropical oasis. Our kids enjoyed the pool everyday. Appreciated the little touches, like all the beach décor of the place and the outdoor patio furniture. Neighbors at other rental spaces super friendly. I would recommend and stay again =)

    Only a walk across a street to Manatee Beach, 2 blocks from Publix and Pharmacy, less than 2 miles walk or bike to multiple restaurants. Amenities were great, multiple beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon were very nice bene's. Pool was heated located just next to our unit, spacious yard for our dog, spacious parking adjacent to our unit. Furnishings were good, comfortable king size bed, pull out couch well used...could be updated...cushions lost their firmness. Ample supply of extra USB ports in bedrooms and living area. Decent supply of house supplies, but toilet paper was only a partial roll...should have at least a full roll. Overall....a very nice place...a duplex but felt like a single unit home, thankful didn't have to go multiple floors, and access to pool, parking and yard space was ideal.... Definitely a come back place!

    The property was very nice. Location to the beach was great and having the wagon and chairs and umbrella to use was such a nice extra. The pool was nice, just steps away from our cottage. The only issue we had was not having a blind in our kitchen window but the owner happened to be there and put one in for us right away. We will be back
