Remodeled 2024! Beach Front, Ocean Views, Heated Pool, Tennis and Beach Deck!

Welcome to our vacation home “Almost Heaven”! We believe you will agree with our name once you visit this gem on Anna Maria Island! Our 3BR/2BA ocean-view condo is in the heart of Anna Maria Island. With private beach access, lighted tennis/pickleball courts, a private balcony, and one of the largest heated pools on Anna Maria, you will love all that Almost Heaven and Gulf Place have to offer. Gulf Place is a small, thoughtfully designed, and carefully maintained condo complex that offers guests a beach vacation to remember. There is an on-site manager to ensure that our guests have an enjoyable stay.

Our spacious end unit was completely updated at the beginning of 2024 to provide all the modern comforts in a relaxed beach atmosphere. There are views of the Gulf from the spacious living room and private balcony. Our unit’s balcony is ideally located in the most shaded and breezy location of the entire complex. Enjoy views of the Gulf over the heated pool in shaded comfort or take a stroll down the stairs from your porch to the pool and private deck overlooking the beautiful turquoise waters of Florida’s Gulf Coast. From the private deck, you can access the white, sugary beaches of Anna Maria Island where you can walk for miles, take a swim, look for dolphins, or search for seashells. If your timing is right, you may even see a nesting or hatching sea turtle.

Our 3BR/2BA condo is one of the most spacious on the island. The master bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed, television, walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a shower. One guest bedroom has a queen size bed, television, and closet. While the second bedroom has a closet and a queen-sized bed with a twin bunk bed to allow couples or children to enjoy this great layout. The guest bedrooms share a newly renovated guest bath with a tub. Note we have a 6-person (including children) maximum occupancy that is strictly enforced.

The newly remodeled living room is spacious and furnished with comfort being the top priority! Enjoy watching your favorite show on the large screen TV from one of the comfortable reclining sofas or have your dinner on the large dining room table while watching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. We have even supplied games and puzzles for the whole family to enjoy! Free Wi-fi is also included!

As an end unit, our living room and all the bedrooms enjoy views of the beautiful outdoors. The bedrooms, guest bath, and living room were completely updated. The condo is completely furnished with all the amenities you would expect to have an enjoyable stay for a week or months. A fully updated and equipped kitchen, laundry room with washer and dryer, extra refrigerator, linens, towels, and beach chairs are provided! Just pack your beachwear and sunglasses and we will take care of the rest!

Almost Heaven is ideally located in Holmes Beach, the heart of Anna Maria Island. There is private parking if you bring a car but why bother as Anna Maria has a free trolley and other free transportation services that stop right outside. Although many shops, restaurants, and pubs are within walking distance, you can visit all that Anna Maria’s 7 miles of beaches have to offer with these free services! Our lovely island has a variety of food choices and many cuisines to suit any taste., from cafes and pubs to fine dining. Many local restaurants and nightspots offer live music nightly. Our favorite being the Freckled Fin Irish Pub, within walking distance. Truly, there is something for everyone!

We are dedicated to you having a wonderful vacation. We live less than a mile away and as premier VRBO hosts, we will ensure that your stay at “Almost Heaven” exceeds your expectations!

You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Maximum occupancy is 6 people (infants and children are people too), 2 vehicles on site, and a 7-night minimum stay (Saturday check-in/out unless otherwise agreed upon). Renters must complete the Gulf Place renter application and follow Gulf Place check-in procedures. Unless otherwise agreed check-in and check-out days are on Saturday only.

Absolutely Lovely - 5 Stars Well Earned
We had a wonderful stay in this condo! We loved everything about it. The unit was well appointed. No need to bring your own chairs, and there were plenty of beach towels, floats, etc. - all kept nicely in a storage unit appointed to the condo. While we did bring our own umbrellas, one of those is available as well. The washer and dryer were in great shape, the beds were both comfortable and spotless, and the bathrooms were clean and up-to-date. The pool was immaculate and the property was very well-kept. We enjoyed sitting on the well-appointed viewing deck first thing in the morning with our coffee and again while viewing sunsets at night. As far as parking, our assigned parking spot was the closest to the unit - literally maybe 12 feet to the front door. The unit was "easy in, easy out" as far as move in and move out days. Gulf Place truly offers a family environment. We met many other families during our stay, some of whom knew the original owner of our condo (you can read up on the "Mayor of Gulf Place" during your stay.) Gy, the current owner and "Mayor's" son, checked in with us mid-stay, even though he was on his own vacation. We would definitely choose this condo all over again!

Everything was perfect!! Enough things to get you started essential wise. Should have red the book would have known about beach chairs that’s my fault. But great location so my teenager didn’t have to cross a road when he was tired of the beach.

Amazing beach condo
This was our first time on Anna Maria Island and I am so glad we stayed at this condo. Gy was easy to work with, check-in was seamless. This condo is beautiful, right on the beach! It made it really easy to go back and forth from condo to beach with small children. Laundry in unit was a huge plus as well. Location was great. Close to restaurants/shops. Thank you Yatros family for sharing this condo with us , we did a toast to Irma on the balcony! All the best, the Caniano’s

Truly ‘Almost Heaven ‘
We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful property on Holmes Beach. The condo was spacious, spotless and well appointed. Lovely pool and tennis/pickleball court. Right on the beach and close to restaurants and shopping. Gulf Place is a beautifully kept condo complex with very helpful staff. The owners were easy to contact but really we had no occasion as the whole two weeks were nothing but enjoyable and seamless. Would highly recommend this property.

Fabulous Condo on the beach
We enjoyed Almost Heaven. The location is very convenient to shopping and dining. This unit has only 4 steps to get into the condo which is very helpful for seniors or those who have difficulty with steps. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The unit was very clean and nicely decorated. We will definitely rent again.

Perfect for a family
We had a delightful week in this condo. It was spotless when we arrived, and was the perfect size for our party of 4 adults + 2 children. We loved the heated pool and easy access to the beach, both of which are literally steps from the condo. The kitchen was the most well-stocked rental kitchen I have ever stayed in! The neighbors were polite and friendly. All communication with the host was seamless with quick responses to any questions. The check-in process was clear. We never had any issues with people parking in our designated parking spot. Would absolutely recommend this property!

Lovely home away from home
This property offers a fully equipped kitchen, a feature this cook appreciates! Newly renovated kitchen and baths are beautiful, and the entire apartment is thoughtfully decorated. Comfortable living room furniture (no rattan!) was relaxing when we weren't on the beach or in the pool. One of the nicest condos at Gulf Place imo!

Absolutely outstanding
Communication was top notch. Everything pre-arrival explained, I knew exactly where to park, where to check in, etc. The location is exactly as described, parking is a breeze, you’re ON the beach, the pool is steps away, there’s plenty of local stores and restaurants nearby. I’ve stayed many places but this one was the best. Absolutely perfect host.

We had a lovely time!! Everything was wonderful location and everything. Loved that they had beach chairs and umbrella so we didnt have to pack them!! The only thing that wasnt the greatest was the master bed its very firm along with the top bunk bed its firm too. But in all it was a great family vacation!! We definitely will be going back. Thanks for sharing your beautiful beach home with my family!!

Wonderful beach stay
We loved the location and proximity to the pool and the beach with this condo. The condo had everything we needed for our stay as well. The beach chairs were a plus! The only thing we would change are the beds as they were very firm (except the bunk beds). The faucet in the main bedroom was dripping and the bathtub drain in the hall bath was slow to drain, so a plumber may need to check out those items. This was our first trip to AMO, and we will definitely be back to visit.

Super cute condo!
We had a great time at almost heaven. The condo came with almost everything we needed. We enjoyed playing pickle ball in the mornings and spending our day at the beach. It’s a perfect place for families with young kids who need to run back and forth to the room. The only issue we had was other guests parking in our reserved spot. It always seemed to happen after the property manager left for the day. We ended up just parking in the guest spots, but it was still annoying. Overall we would stay here again.

Nice condo. The bottoms of the pots and pans had black scorch bottoms which left black marks on the drying towels. I scrubbed the bottom of the pans but to no avail. You could hear the neighbors above us stomping around in the evening/night. Families with young children took up most of the chairs around the pool and a lot of jumping and splashing took place at the pool area. Disappointed there were not chaise lounge chairs with umbrellas set up on the beach which are provided at most resorts. Four adults were playing Volleyball in the pool. Also, two men were throwing a football from one end of pool to the other.
