About this property

Under the Tuscan Sun: *Heated Pool *Close to Beach *Perfect Central Location

Pack your bags for a luxurious island getaway at Under the Tuscan Sun, a Mediterranean-inspired home with a beautiful backyard, private pool, lounge area, and propane grill. This three-bedroom and three-bathroom retreat is located on a quiet cul-de-sac and is just a few blocks from the dreamy Gulf of Mexico beaches, and shopping and dining are easily accessible via a short walk or the Island's free trolley.

On the main living floor, you will find a fully equipped kitchen with Tuscan-inspired tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar for two. Enjoy formal meals at the indoor or outdoor dining tables on the balcony and take advantage of the Florida weather. There is a sunken living room with two large sofas and a TV.

Walk up the stairs to the primary bedroom, with a lovely coastal flare and a fabulous private balcony with wicker seating and great views. The primary bedroom has a claw foot tub, a step-in shower stall, a bidet, and two pedestal sinks. The second bedroom is light and airy with a TV and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The third bedroom is perfect for younger guests, with two sets of bunk beds, and shares the hall bath with two pedestal sinks and a tub. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is available, and the living room sofa turns into a sleeper sofa.

The Island is meant for getting out and exploring, whether by bike, golf cart, or even the complimentary AMI Trolley that will pick you up at various spots around the 7-mile Island. Fish with locals at the Rod-n-Reel, kayak, or paddle board the turquoise waters, eat fresh seafood from the neighboring gourmet restaurants, and soak up the Florida Sunshine. For more shopping, visit the one-of-a-kind boutiques that dot along Pine Ave.

Great Location, Beautiful Spacious Home

The home is beautiful and spacious, giving plenty of room for the 6 of us to spread out. Having 3 patios, not including the pool area is wonderful. The top balcony area was a wonderful respite for us all.You can catch both the sunrise and the sunset from there. An easy 3 minute walk to the beach!The only complaint we had was that the bed sheets, pillows, comforters and even the couches smelled very strongly of fabric softer.

Great Property!

Located in a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to the beach our family thoroughly enjoined our week stay. The house was very clean and the pool area was partially shaded during the afternoon sun which was welcomed. The property manager was very responsive to a few questions we had and checked in with us during the week to see how our stay was. The one thing I'd suggest improving (and this is a little nitpicky) is the Wifi network. Coverage around the pool was spotty and streaming music could be a challenge. All in all, it's a great property and we would stay again.

Perfect Vacation

We had the best week unwinding at Under the Tuscan Sun. The house was stunning. We loved spending the afternoons in the private pool. I’m so glad I read the reviews beforehand and packed spices since there weren’t any at the house. Just a heads up, pack a few garbage bags so you don’t have to buy a new while you’re there. Otherwise the house was well equipped, clean, and ideal for our family vacation. We hope to return again next year!!!

Excellent location.

Great location. It would have been nice to have some basic spices including salt and pepper, garlic powder, coffee filters, Kleenex, etc. . An extra blanket or two would have been nice as well. Easy to work with the Anna Maria Islands. Any issue/question we had, they were readily available.

First time to Holmes Beach area.

We had a great stay at the "Tuscan Sun" house. The things that were "cons" would not keep us from staying here again. The a/c thermostat was set up to keep the temperature above 75 degrees. The first night was a little uncomfortable until we found some fans and got used to it. We loved the pool area, the multilevel porches, and the abundance of palm trees and plants on the property. The house had an odor that was what I could only describe as an old house or musty smell. We bought some febreeze to help with that but when we got home, all of our clothes, luggage, and hair still had that musty smell. We had a great stay over all and for the money, we would stay here again!

Fantastic Vacation by the beach

My family and in-laws loved this property. House was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the private pool and the multiple balconies, especially at sunset. The beach was a quick 5 minute walk. We were also grateful for the beach chairs provided. We would love to return in the future.

Very comfortable home that's close to the beach and stores. We were able to walk to stores and food locations. This is a nice place to self isolate during a global pandemic.

Nice place.

Door code was a little difficult to find on property location. Had to call 2 times. Floors I don't think were mopped bc daughters feet were dirty after walking barefoot. Trash was missed and full to the brim also had to call 2 times, issue was resolved. Other than those the place was nice. Close to beach, 2 blocks away. Would definitely stay again but closer to beach.
