Nearby are boat rentals, sunset cruises, as well as jet ski, bike, paddleboard, scooter, and kayak rentals.
This seven-mile barrier island is Florida’s best-kept secret. There’s a saying here; “when you're on Anna Maria Island, you don’t go to the beach… because on Anna Maria Island, you’re already at the beach.”
The Island in the Sun is Florida’s best-kept secret. With Gulf temperatures averaging 84 degrees and 360 days of sunshine per year the surrounding waters of AMI are known as “the nursery” because of the large number of dolphins that raise their young here.
With the island’s laid-back charm and leisurely unhurried living, speed limits are restricted to 25 mph - 35 mph throughout most of the island. This tropical paradise also offers free trolley service for both tourists and residents.
Be sure to visit Anna Maria City Pier! Built in the early 1900s, this 700-foot-long pier provides a great vantage point for watching sunrises and sunsets, bird watching, dolphin watching, and provides views of Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. You can also fish off this pier.
Bridge Street Pier, located on the southern end of the island in Bradenton Beach, honors the past while still embracing the future with its ‘Old Florida’ charm mixed with new restaurants, shops, galleries, and more.
Enjoy the architecture and charm of Historic Green Village. Most of the restored buildings now run on solar panels and other modern energy-saving methods.
The island, surrounded by water and interlaced with canals, is host to many amazing sea creatures - among them are Loggerhead Turtles, Manatees, and dolphins. Loggerhead turtles are a protected species and we have the Turtle Watch - a group of wonderful folks who search the beaches for nests and protect those nests until the eggs hatch (it is illegal for anyone to tamper with the nests). Manatees are also protected here in Florida - they are commonly seen in the summer when they leave their winter warm waters and migrate south.

location was great. For the money the condo was average. The patio was never in the sun. Huge semi sized dumpsters were outside the front door which resulted in quite the smell at times. The condo did not have the basics of kitchen condements..

Mark,
I am sorry you were disappointed. Everything in the condo is new which you can tell from the photos. The condo was completely renovated from the ceiling to the floor after the hurricane. Everything in the kitchen is new included all six appliances and the kitchen is fully stocked. I do not know what else we could possibly provide.

The unit was nice and clean. Although away from common areas, it provides for a quiet and tranquil stay. Cookware in the apartment is limited, but we were able to prepare meals with what we had. I would stay here again.

A great place for a retreat yet close enough to all the action. I did find the mattresses too soft, making sleep a bit uncomfortable but just being away was worth it.

The location, and property amenities were wonderful. Communication with the owner was fast and efficient, and despite the problems we had, he was very responsive. However, the shower in the main bathroom was not able to be used for half of our stay. Water poured from the fan and light above the shower, from the tenant's above our's dirty bath water. It is understandable that these issues happen so soon after a storm, but the tenant's above us did not care that they were continuing to dump water, and they were allowed too, so we just had to deal with it. If it were my property, they would have been not using the shower, or asked to leave. At the very least that bathroom blocked off so more water damage isn't done, and all tenants can have a somewhat enjoyable stay. Repair men came about halfway into our stay and we had the main bathroom back.Outside of this, the property was very clean, had everything we needed for the beach, and we would return as I feel they do care about the properties, and their guests.

Great location!!
We had some problems with the tv's. When we went to warm something up in the microwave, there was a container of rice in there. The water in the primary bathroom a terrible odor to it! The pool area was very nice. Could have been more lounge chairs. We would stay in that area, again..

I was sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties with the televisions during your stay. I wanted to clarify that there were no issues with the televisions themselves. The instructions on how to operate them can be found in your exclusive guest app, which was provided to you upon check-in.
Additionally, I had shared my cell phone number with you but you never called. I would have been more than happy to assist you or send over my staff to assist you.
Thank you again for being our guests.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It was clean upon arrival. It was across the street from the beach access. The pool was great for the kids when they didn't want to go to the beach. The rental provides towels for the pool/beach. There are also items to take to the beach (umbrellas, chairs, floaties, boogie boards, etc.) inside the patio closet. The space is dated, but they do a great job with decor to keep it modern. We used the washer and dryer. It worked fine, and we recommend buying your detergent, as the two pods they provided could have been better. The closest grocery store is Publix, less than 10 minutes away.
