Holmes Beach, Florida
Waves Edge South is one of two very unique homes situated directly on the sugar white sands of Anna Maria Island. Welcome to a dreamy island which oozes the charm of ‘old’ Florida and will remind you of yesteryear when you were young and the pace was a little slower. A place where visitors and residents are as likely to use a bicycle or a golf cart as hop in a car. An Island where the warm waters will soothe your soul and you will leave longing to return once more.
This lovely 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home enjoys a wonderful location nestled among the sea oats on the beach surrounded by shimmering aqua waters. The Island has miles of beautiful beaches to walk, look for shells, or just sit and enjoy the captivating sunset. Just a stone’s throw from the house you will find shops and restaurants. Additionally, close by you will find stops for the free Island Trolley, which runs the length of the island seven days a week from 6 am to 10 pm. As long as you have your shoes, you can ride for free.
Inside you will find a spacious open floor plan which features a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops from where you can enjoy sweeping views of the Gulf. Meals can be enjoyed in the inside dining area or out on the expansive deck where there is plenty of seating and you can enjoy the Gulf breezes while you cook out on the gas grill.
In the cozy, comfortable living area, your family can have lots of fun watching movies on the flat screen TV which also has a DVR/DVD player. Or cuddle up on the sofa and read a book while looking out to the beach through a wall of windows.
The master bedroom, with a private entrance from the deck, has a king bed with flat screen tv and en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The first guest bedroom has a queen size bed, flat screen tv and you can step out onto the balcony and enjoy gorgeous beach views. The third bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed, flat screen tv and beach views. There is a guest bathroom with a combination bath/shower.
The home has a fun sleeping loft with two twin beds and beach views and is suitable for older children and teenagers.
From the outside deck, steps lead down to a beautiful heated swimming pool with plenty of loungers for you to relax.
There is parking for 4 cars.
The pool and laundry facilities are shared with our sister home, Waves Edge North, which accommodates 6 people. For a large family gathering, why not rent both homes

As a courtesy to our guests we heat the pool from December to April. There will be days when the weather conditions will not allow pool heaters to accommodate swimming and temperature recovery times will vary.
While the pool is heated during the winter months, we do occasionally get cold spells that can send the temperatures down into 60's and 50's. This will cause the pool water temperature to drop and the pool pump will no longer be able to heat the pool, and it automatically shut down temporarily as a safety feature.
We look forward to welcoming you to our piece of paradise.
Please note that Waves Edge South accommodates a maximum of 6 guests including children. We are not able to accept guests under the age of 3.
When requesting to book the home please be sure to provide the correct number of guests who will be staying which includes adults and children and also the ages of any guests under 25 who will be staying. Thank you.

We loved the property, The only thing was I think more emphasis should be put on shared things, The people who were in the other house arrived first, and did not seem to understand that we also were able to enjoy the pool, beach chairs and umbrella, and such, they took all the beach stuff for themselves and were always in the pool, also the laundry room, was not able to be used until they left on Thursday, we enjoyed the extras thursday only as we left Friday
Excellent Location!! Amazing views. The beach is not crowded at all which is why we loved it so much. The proximity to all of our favorite shops is awesome. The home is comfortable and very well equipped and having the little things like spices and condiments and laundry detergent available to us was great! The pool was lovely and we used it more than we thought we would. Nicki left us the most delicious cake and champagne and her communication is above and beyond fantastic. Check in/out is incredibly easy. The whole experience was excellent. It’ll be hard to duplicate this trip!
Best setting ever.
Wonderful location. Very nice and clean house. Excellent service and communication with host.
This was a wonderful family vacation! Relaxing by the beach, swimming in the pool, and great food! Our house was perfect for our family.
Pictures of this rental tell the story. You open the door & walk out to the beach. So convenient.
We stayed here with three adults and three children (ages 5-10) and had the best vacation! The location can't be beat, steps to the beach, the pool provided so much entertainment for the kids and was so warm! We spent many days going back and forth between the two and made so many memories. The cottage is charming and all you need! We would 100% come back. Of note, the cottage shares a deck and pool with the adjacent cottage. We lucked out with the most lovely neighbors who became friends! The host was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions.
Property location was outstanding Property very clean and well appointed. Owner very available and friendly. Thanks for the surprise in the fridge!!
Everything was great. The owner was great. Location was great. The island was great.
We celebrated our 50th anniversaries with friends and this house was absolutely perfect for the 4 of us. Nicky, the host provided any possible amenities including starter kitchen supplies. We didn't have a car so we utilized Publix delivery for initial groceries. The beautiful beach is clean and quietly friendly and the house has beach chairs, umbrella and towels available for guest use.! We usually walked the 4 blocks to Publix to catch the trolley that runs north and south taking us to wonderful restaurants and shopping. The monkey bus filled in for areas that the trolley doesn't go to. We usually returned to the house in time to watch the amazing sunsets from our deck. The rest of our evenings were spent in the wonderfully warm pool to relax after the busy days... Thank you Nicky for the perfect vacation!
Everything with house, location perfect. Will be returning for longer stay.
One of, if not the best VRBO we stayed at for cleanliness. Also, the location is perfect! Great beach right at your door practically. Nicky provides you with the necessary items you will need to start your trip without the need to immediately run to the store. Surprises in the fridge were also very nice. We had a couple of minor issues but Nicky responded quickly. There is also the convenience factor with having a grocery store very close as well as other stores within a mile and a half, yet the house is tucked away from everything. Sunsets from the porch are amazing as well. I saw where others had mentioned that some of the house was dated, and some items yes, but...house on the white sand beach, with a pool and everything you need for the beach and pool is provided.
This place is beautiful and right on the beach. The pool is awesome and the house has many amenities. It couldn’t be more perfect. The host is most accommodating and she left a delicious cake and a bottle of champagne for us. So nice
This property was perfect for our vacation. We had 4 adults and 2 children ages 8 and 11. The location and views can’t be beat. Nicky had everything we needed, beach chairs, rafts, beach towels all included. The kitchen is very well stocked. Nicky also included some condiments that we would need during our stay. There was also a gift waiting for us when we arrived, such a kind gesture. Nicky was very responsive when I reached out during before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this property to others.
This property is perfect! We rented both sides so all of our family could stay at one location. It was so relaxing. The big deck provided a great spot to eat family meals and watch the breath-taking sunsets over the Gulf. With the gorgeous beach just a few steps away, we were able to go between house and beach easily. The house was clean and well-organized, supplied with everything we needed. Even beach toys, beach chairs, and floats were available! Nicky, the Host was amazing. - Quick to respond and very accommodating. Thank you for a memorable stay. We would highly recommend!
Spent time on Anna Maria Island with 3 siblings and mother. Had a wonderful time.
House is in need of some repairs. The house next to us. Where are friends stayed had a massive rodent problem. Houses smelled very musty and needed to be aired out every day. For what we paid the houses should've been in better shape.
