Breakers 3 | Classic Old Florida Beachfront Cottage

VRC20-000178

Timeless Charm with Panoramic Gulf Views
Step back in time to the charm of Old Florida at Breakers 3, a classic elevated beachfront cottage with direct beach access and breathtaking Gulf views. Nestled in a quiet stretch of Holmes Beach, this private retreat boasts an expansive deck spanning the entire length of the home, where you can sip morning coffee, enjoy sunset cocktails, or simply watch dolphins play in the waves. A private sand path at the corner of the property leads directly to the secluded, sugar-white beach just steps away.

“The view, the easy beach access, the privacy—it’s everything we wanted in a true Old Florida beach house!” – Tammy P.

Modern Updates While Preserving Vintage Charm
While Breakers 3 maintains its cozy, wood-paneled charm, it has been recently updated to offer modern comforts. Newly renovated bathrooms and brand-new bedroom flooring (2025) bring a fresh touch to this island treasure. Please note: photos have not yet been updated to reflect these upgrades, but will be coming soon!

Master Suite: King bed with breathtaking Gulf views
Guest Room 1: King bed
Guest Room 2: Two full beds + two rollaway beds
Living Room: Cozy seating & a 49” smart TV

“We spent every night on the deck watching the sunset—it doesn’t get better than this.” – Carolyn W.

The Perfect Beachside Escape
Wake up to the sound of the waves, step outside onto the deck to breathe in the fresh sea air, and take a few steps down your private beach path to begin your day on the sand. Whether you’re strolling the shore, sunbathing, or watching the stars reflect on the water, Breakers 3 offers the ultimate island escape.

“This home is a true gem—an Old Florida cottage with all the charm, yet beautifully maintained. We loved the beach access, the quiet location, and the incredible views.” – Robin G.

Location,Location,Location - Amazing gulf access and view
The house is right off the gulf with great access, view and nice deck. The house is older but the kitchen has been updated and is incredibly well-stocked with nice pots/pans/dishes/utensils. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms are not updated. The windows/glass doors are older and get drafty so temperatures vary from guest bedrooms to Master bedroom which has double glass doors and faces the gulf. We happened to be there during a cooler and windier month. We would definitely rent again! The location, view , beds and kitchen made it very special.

Sunsets galore!
Spectacular location with gorgeous sunsets every night. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Master BR very large and comfortable. Only minor complaints were soft mattresses in BRs #2 & #3, and no gas grill.
