Anna Maria Island is located on Florida’s Gulf coast 35 miles south of Tampa Bay and 7 miles west of Bradenton Florida. Anna Maria Island Florida is the northern most of a string of barrier islands that stretch in a southerly direction toward the Florida Keys. Surprisingly Anna Maria Island comprises three very unique cities (villages), Bradenton Beach on the southern tip of the island Holmes Beach in the middle and Anna Maria on the northern tip. The sugar white sand beaches and crystal blue waters extend the entire length of Anna Maria Islands seven miles coast line. This isn’t a place where you go to the beach. When you are on Anna Maria Island you are at the beach. Anna Maria Island is rimmed with towering Australian pines, some as high as 60 feet, along with magnificent palm trees and sea oats. Abundant bird life soar against the bright blue skies.
Anna Maria Island Florida is affectionately known as the island in the sun and is Florida’s best kept secret. With Gulf temperatures averaging 84 degrees and 361 days of sunshine per year the surrounding waters of Anna Maria Island are known as the nursery because of the large number of dolphins that raise their young here. When walking or dining on Anna Maria Island’s four gorgeous beaches or its surrounding coast line it is not uncommon to see dolphins playing.
With the island’s laid back charm and leisurely unhurried living speed limits are restricted to 25-35 mph throughout the island. This tropical paradise also offers free trolley service for both tourists and residents. A car is not necessary when vacationing on the island or you could park your car for your entire vacation. The trolley tours the island from 6:00 am and 10:30 pm and runs every 20-30 minutes. For your convenience the trolley stops right in-front of our Anna Maria Island Florida beach rentals condo.
Anna Maria Island is completely surrounded by four tropical bodies of water and is accessible by two drawbridges from the mainland and one from Longboat Key where you will discover Sarasota. This tropical island paradise offers you seven miles of the most beautiful and peaceful white sand beaches found anywhere in the world lined with fishing piers, 150 miles of waterfront, waterfront restaurants, three waterfront parks crystal clear blue waters that meet the seemingly endless powdery white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island Florida.

I chose this property for a few reasons. Reasonably priced, ratings, closeness to the beach, and especially the decor. We wanted something soft and relaxing as we needed to de-stress and not something loud and distracting. This little condo is amazing!!!! It’s very cute, well kept, and clean. I can’t say enough great things about this little rental and location. I would def stay here again and rent from this agency.

We had a wonderful stay. Overall the unit was clean, the beds comfortable, plus an easy check in process. The private beach is just across the street and is not overly crowded. We live in Florida near Sanibel Island ( always crowded) so being able to enjoy the nice quiet beach was wonderful. The pool is nice and large and the full time residents are very friendly.
Terry was very prompt to answer any questions which was a big plus. We would stay in this unit again.

This was our second stay at the Runaway Bay complex; we love the complex and this unit was fabulous. Right across the street from the beach; has a nice pool if beach is a little windy/cool. Unit had everything we needed, and updated kitchen with open floor plan was great. Good communication with host and easy check out process appreciated. Only negative was pullout couch was extremely uncomfortable but if you aren’t using it no worries! Would definitely book again!

We did have a very nice stay at Terry’s home. He was a great communicator and responsive to our request for better beach chairs. He delivered immediately.
We have stayed at Runaway Bay And units like this many times over the years. This was as good if not better than most.
Our only suggestion would be to see a more complete kitchen in terms of cups, plates, etc.
