The Attractions of Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Island is 7½ miles of beauty in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite being a major tourist destination the island has retained an Old Florida charm; there are no high rises and not many traffic lights and the pace of life here is but one speed – just one step up from slow. This tranquil island boasts a lovely sunny climate, beautiful beaches, some so quiet that your only other companions are turtles, scenery perfect for walking and cycling, interesting wildlife, good eating out, friendly welcoming communities and even a free local trolley.

Options for Vacation Rentals on Anna Maria Island

One of the key aspects of a successful holiday is the accommodation. When selecting the right accommodation for your lifestyle, budget and needs, you will want a variety of amenities to choose from as well as attentive service from the hotel staff or from the property management companies. If you’re looking at staying in a fully equipped, self-contained rental property, you not only want somewhere decent to sleep and store your belongings but you may also want a great kitchen for meal preparation, swimming pools, hot tubs, Jacuzzi bathtubs, tropical backyards with bbq’s and so much more. Taking a property for sole use is a nice way of enjoying a holiday and the options for an Anna Maria Island vacation rental are pretty much unlimited.

All three towns on the island offer a whole slew of vacation rentals. Properties in town might be a renovated town house or a well serviced purpose built condominium. If you prefer something more secluded, Anna Maria Island vacation rentals include a huge choice of unique and exclusive waterfront properties. The options really are bewildering and you can face a hard time choosing between every architectural style, number of bedrooms and even the decision to be beach located or on the network of waterways on the island. There are properties where you can step out directly on to the pristine white sands or those that are set in beautifully lush sub-tropical gardens. 2 & 3 bedroom villas compete with luxury large mansions, private pools compete with contemporary interiors with all mod conveniences and maybe even a Jacuzzi and hot tub or two.

If you have an interest in eco-tourism, Anna Maria Island vacation rentals also offer options in the environmental friendly home category so if you are looking for conscious free, green holiday this is a great destination where you can also enjoy a protected area of national parkland.

There’s an Anna Maria Island vacation rental to suit all tastes and budgets.
