BEDROOMS
5 Bedrooms/ 8 Beds & Upstairs retreat
Our home has 5+ bedrooms that are all comfortably apart from each other in the house, accommodating for the privacy of members of your group. AL. TV's in every bedroom Netflix, or HULU ready. The master suite has a medium firm memory foam king bed, and a master bath equipped with two shower heads, and penny tiled flooring. Also, the master bath is connected to the outdoor bamboo shower. Bedroom two is upstairs off the kitchen and has a queen bed that easily glides out from the wall. Partitioned from the rest of the room by collapsable doors is a sleeping nook with fun lighting includes a cozy double bed for the kids or your own cozy solace. This bedroom also comes with an ensuite two person deluxe shower with wall-mounted shower jets, bluetooth shower music system, and optional blue LED lighting. Bedrooms three & four both have queen beds. Bedroom five is the kids' sanctuary with a queen and double on the loft-like bunk bed.
KITCHEN
The new kitchen has an open-air feel and plenty of space for a large group. There are granite counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, and all the necessary utensils you may need. The kitchen eating area accommodates six, and the rest of the gang can hang around the granite island which seats 2-4, or the foyer cocktail table that seats 4 more. Do not forget the larger outside table.
LIVING ROOM
Watch television on the large 75 " flat screen smart TV. There is a large sectional likely to fit the whole crew. At the end of the room is a closet packed full with board games.
HEATED POOL/ SPA
Finally, relax in your private lagoon-like pool with a tanning ledge, swim up tiki table, infinity edge hot tub/spa, waterfall, deck jets, There is LED pool and spa lighting with variable color settings with the touch of a button. Landscape lighting provides a resort-like feel and is throughout the property. The pool is heated year round to 84 degrees or better at no additional charge. Forget your worries, "you're on island time" and yes, you'll "be back again."
Tiki Bar off the back side of the pool.
OTHERS
It is just three blocks to white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Take a 5-6 minute walk or a 90 second golf cart ride. Golf Carts are easily rented and delivered by my friend at Beac’N Rides. Just goole search their company. Easy parking at the beach access. There are many beach toys and supplies available for you to you use. Including a cooler. The bikes are there but guests & groups are typically hard on them so they are not a guarantee. We only ask that you please treat all the gear well and wash off the salt water after use. Thanks in advance.
Nearby are the wonderful shops, and restaurants that Holmes Beach has to offer. PUBLIX shopping center is 1.2 miles away.
WiFi internet access provided.
Top of the line front loader washer and dryer
A collapsable baby cribs (or pack-n-play's) are there for your use as well.
Weber grill and three lounge chairs on the patio.
We update our house regularly to ensure it is in in prime condition so guests can have their best stay. The home went through $100,000+ repair/ renovation post hurricane Helene and looks and smells like new because much of it is. 😆

Wonderful Experience
Excellent overall experience. Very appreciative that the owners worked hard to get the property ready following the 2 gulf hurricanes. The updates to the property were great and worked perfectly for our family. Great location within a short walk to the beach. Very well stocked kitchen amenities. Solid communications throughout with the owners. Highly recommend.

We love Casa Laguna
This was the 4th time we've stayed at Casa Laguna and we will be back. We love everything about this rental! The house is perfect for a big family and has all the beach toys you'll ever want/need. The outdoor area with pool and hot tub is the perfect oasis and the location is fantastic. One word of caution, the golf cart doesn't have a slow moving vehicle sign on it, or license plate, so we didn't dare take it out much. Otherwise, this is by far our favorite rental on the island.

Family Get-to-gether
Perfect property for the combination of family we had or a larger group. Owner was helpful and responded pretty fast to our questions . Only 2 of the 4 bikes were in working condition, the pool was cooler than expected but the hot tub made up for it. There was no water pressure in the sink in the master bathroom, but everyone liked the shower on the upper level. But location to the beach was good and overall location on the island. We enjoyed our stay!

Family Vaca Stay
House was in a nice central location with three block walk to the beach. Bedroom layout allowed for lots of privacy for each person/couple. Didn't have young children, but the house had plenty of equipment and items for younger children. The pool and hot tub and private outdoor space was the bomb!

Great outdoor area
Great pool and hot tub. Loved the outdoor area. Fenced in for our dog. Trick to the hot tub is it can take 2 hours to heat if it’s cold out. There’s a Walmart just off island. Publix was expensive. Lots of restaurants close. Waterfront restaurant was good. We did a fishing charter with Anna Maria Fishing Charters. Great experience. Mote Aquarium in Sarasota was great. The beach is beautiful, very soft sand. Enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful retreat
We had such a wonderful time at this house. It is actually much bigger in the common areas than the pictures show. We were originally planning to go to the beach more but we ended up laying by the fabulous pool for most of the trip! Great location, great house, we will try to return!

Casa Laguna rocks!
We absolutely loved our time on the island and at Casa Laguna. It was our 2nd time to rent the home and were so glad we went back. The house has lots of space and included every amenity you could possibly need while on vacation. The outdoor area with pool, hot tub, grill, etc., was fantastic. We had a quick 3 block walk to the beach and they had all the chairs, towels and toys we needed. Would highly recommend Casa Laguna!

MeMo Takes Ana Maria Island
The property was perfect for our family! The property was well-maintained and as described. The home had plenty to do without leaving the premises! Corn hole, tiki bar, swim up bar, hot tub and outdoor living area made this it’s very own resort. The shuttle runs in front of the home and will take you around the island with ease. Beautiful spot happy that we got to discover Ana Maria Island.

Absolutely amazing!
Amazing casa. Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots of room for us all. Beautiful and comfortable house, inside and out. Awesome pool & outdoor area. Trolley stop just steps out the front door. Golf cart was a nice perk to hop in & travel a few blocks to the beach.

Great Family Vacation
We stayed with our children and grandkids loved our time on the island. The house is in a great location for just about everything. It was very well stocked with all the basics (cookware, spices, paper products, etc). The bedrooms are spread throughout the house which gave everyone privacy and the upscale bathrooms with great showers were nice. Our grandson thought it was so cool that he could play music through the upstairs shower wall! The PacMan video machine was also a big hit!! The pool was great and was serviced twice during the week. The yard was surrounded with lush greenery, which gave us a lot of privacy. Highly recommend!

Love Anna Maria
Our family had a great Staycation away from St Pete. The home was very spacious, well stocked, and had everything we needed to enjoy our time. One warning though to potential renters, the golf cart is not exactly street legal (which we kind of knew). We took a risk but learned the hard way 🚔. So just be careful if you plan on using the golf cart. We would definitely rent this home again, and have already talked about including additional family. We just might rent a golf cart next time. Thank you to the owners, for allowing us an opportunity to rent your home. 5 stars from us.

perfect for a family
We loved the house! We have 5 children, ages 17, 13, 12 and 2 year old twins. The house was perfect for us. Our 12 and 13 year old daughters thought the upstairs "attic" room was the best thing ever. The rooms are "spread out" in the house so everyone had plenty of space. They are much larger than they appear on line. The pool was wonderful and the golf cart was a lifesaver! The island was absolutely packed, but the house is very private so we felt like we had our own oasis. We were very sad to leave!

House and location is perfect!
Overall experience was fantastic! The best part was the pool, hot tub and the island ambience of the back yard. A few very minor issues arose but the Darbys were right on top of it and took care of them ASAP and were extremely responsive. The golf cart was an added bonus as well as the close location to the beach, golf cart drive was only two blocks away and you are on the main road for only a few seconds. The location is great and located near everything in the area such as Publix, local fish market (shrimp were huge) and we highly recommend the Ugly Grouper, the food was fantastic! We also rented 2 small carts from Robinhood which was only (0.9) miles away and we were able to drive them up and down the island all day. We look forward to coming back to the island and staying at this great house! Dominguez & Morales family

Lovely vacation home with all the bells and whistles!
My family and extended family just got back from a wonderful vacation at Casa Laguna. What a beautiful home. The house is even lovelier in person. It was extremely clean and very nicely decorated. You can tell the owners put lots of thought into decorating it. My two kids, 9 and 10 years old, loved the kids room. The pool was our own little piece of heaven. Even though there were neighbors, the backyard was extremely private and had such beautiful plants and flowers too. It was an easy walk to the beach and rode bikes all over the island. Its very bike friendly! The kitchen was well stocked and had tons of seating. Hopefully we will be able to visit again. Thanks for sharing your awesome house.

Paradise Found!
Our group of 8 had a lovely stay at Casa Laguna! It was quite spacious and had so many amenities that we all appreciated. They certainly thought of everything you could possibly need during our stay from April 20-27. The property was well stocked inside and out from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and coolers. We always had plenty of beach towels, bath towels, extra blankets and pillows.....they have it all! All the bedrooms were big and our girls loved their private bedroom and bath upstairs. The location was perfect and having a golf cart to carry your chairs, beach floats, and coolers was a bonus. The pool was amazing and the landscaping made you feel as if you were on a tropical island for sure! Thank you Darby Family for letting us rent your beautiful home, we can't wait to return! C.
