Why they chose this property
We chose the north end of Anna Maria Island because it's Old Florida the way it's supposed to be — no high-rises, no chains, no traffic. Just powder-white sand, turquoise Gulf water, and quiet, walkable beach-town charm.
Beaches: Bean Point, where the Gulf meets Tampa Bay, is one of Florida's most beautiful, uncrowded stretches — right in the neighborhood.
Bike or cart to everything: Historic Pine Avenue's local shops, coffee, and restaurants are an easy ride away — and the bikes and golf cart come included with your Serendipity rental home, so you're ready to explore the moment you arrive.
Sunsets: West-facing Gulf beaches and the historic City Pier make for unforgettable evening skies and dolphin sightings.
Outdoors: Kayak, paddleboard, fish, or cruise the whole flat, breezy island. Food: Fresh Gulf seafood from casual to upscale — don't miss a local grouper sandwich.
The free island trolley runs every 20 minutes too — so between the trolley, the bikes, and the cart, you can park the car and drift from beach to dinner all day, then come home to quiet, star-filled nights just steps from the sand.
