Anna Maria Island Vacation Rentals with Private Pools: Where to Stay

Looking for a vacation rental with a private pool on Anna Maria Island? Portfolio Vacations manages two 4-bedroom Holmes Beach homes with private heated pools, Shore To Please and Sail Away. Each sleeps up to 8 guests and can be booked directly with our local team.

Why a Private Pool Matters on Anna Maria Island

The Gulf is the main attraction, but a private pool adds flexibility. Kids can swim while adults relax on the deck, you can take an evening dip after the beach crowds leave, and you have a warm-water option in winter, when Gulf temperatures drop. A heated pool means comfortable swimming from December through March, which is why many snowbirds and winter visitors look for one.

Shore To Please: Heated Saltwater Pool and Elevator

Shore To Please is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Holmes Beach that sleeps up to 8 guests. It has a private heated saltwater pool, which many guests find gentler on skin and eyes than a traditional chlorine pool. It also has an elevator, which makes it a strong fit for multigenerational trips, guests with mobility needs, or anyone who would rather not haul luggage and beach gear up the stairs.

Best for: multigenerational families, groups with older travelers, and winter stays.

Sail Away: Private Heated Fenced Pool

Sail Away is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Holmes Beach that sleeps up to 8 guests. Its private heated pool is fenced, an extra layer of peace of mind for parents of young children.

Best for: families with young kids and groups who want a private outdoor space.

Why Holmes Beach Is a Great Base

Holmes Beach sits in the middle of Anna Maria Island, so it's easy to reach the island's beaches, restaurants, and shops in either direction. It's a convenient home base whether you plan to spend your days on the sand, exploring Pine Avenue, or heading over to Bradenton Beach.
