205 71st street

Welcome to “Salty Dog”, an eclectic 2-bedroom, 1-bath "fully furnished" pool home located in the middle of Holmes Beach. The home is on a quiet street about 150 steps from the pristine sandy beaches of Anna Maria Island. The street is not a through street so traffic in front will be at a minimum. Due to the home’s location on the island, it was unaffected by the storm surge of Hurricane Helene. When you enter the home, you are welcomed by a large open floor plan living space. There is a fully equipped kitchen with all the amenities, an in-house washer and dryer, a dining area, a big screen tv and comfortable seating all around. Walk to the rear of the home you will find a full bath, two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a king-size bed, the second bedroom has two twin beds, and the living room has a sleeper sofa. On the front of the home, there is a cozy porch where you can watch the world go by and sometimes catch the sunset. On the side of the home is a large private wood deck with an outside shower, plenty of seating, and a gas grill. In the rear of the home, you will be pleased with the large south facing heated pool with a large beach entry. It is a perfect place to relax after a wonderful day at the beach. The existing wood fence is going to be completely replaced with a brand new 6-foot vinyl fence to brighten up the exterior of the home and provide some additional privacy. The home is a land condo which means there is a common wall and fence between the property next door. Unlike most condos there are no HOA fees to worry about. Each of the units have private access to the yards on their side and rear of their property. The units also have two dedicated parking spaces out front. If you chose not to have a car, there is a free trolley to tour the island that stops a on short block south at the corner of Gulf Dr and 70th St. Should you choose, you can also rent an easy to park road legal golf cart to tour the island. "Salty Dog" is presently a successful vacation rental and could continue to do so with repeat guests. The rental license allows booking for up to six guests with a 7-day minimum stay, maximizing your potential rental potential. Otherwise, it could become your personal getaway in paradise, should you choose. Schedule a showing soon.
