Perfect First Visit to Anna Maris

Wanting something very different from bustling, high rise beach towns, my family chose Anna Maria Island and it did not disappoint! The apartment is very convenient to the Cortez Bridge and a few restaurants and a gas station. Walk out the front door and a 3 minute walk to the right gets you to a quiet beach perfect for sunny days and catching the gorgeous sunsets. A 5 minute walk to the left, takes you to the quiet Bayside, where you can watch the sunrise. The apartment itself was quiet, clean, and very cute. For a family of four, including 2 kids, it had everything we needed. We enjoyed the shared backyard pool and the quiet, walkable neighborhood. No steps made it ideal for hauling gear to the beach and easily accessing the outdoor shower to rinse off sandy feet. I appreciated the on-site, washer and dryer, laundry baskets for collecting and transporting laundry, and little touches such as night, lights, and many hooks for towels both in and outside the unit.Highly recommend!

Beautiful Beach Getaway

This condo is perfect for a stay at Bradenton Beach. It is directly across the street from a beautiful white sand beach and has a pool located in the back of the property. Jill was a wonderful host and very attentive to any and all of our needs. She kept an open line of communication should we have needed anything. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great vacation stay!

The property was in a perfect location. We loved that end of the island and the few short steps to the beach! The cottage was adorable and so very comfortable for all of us to relax in the evenings and rainy afternoons. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at home (bring your own groceries ), it was super clean and Jill was a fantastic owner/manager to communicate with. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Hoag

Host profile image
The things I enjoy most are the simple pleasures of life. I enjoy time spent with family, taking long walks on the beach and feeling the sand between my toes. I love my little best friend and companion, aka my dog Teddy!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Anna Maria Island about 4 years ago when I first discovered it. Anna Maria Island is a slice of paradise tucked away on Florida's Gulf Coast. It has a charming, laid-back atmosphere that is right up my alley. I love the powdery white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets. I love the old-Florida charm, that has been maintained despite the urge by many to develop. Instead, I enjoy the quaint shops, local eateries serving fresh seafood, and a warm, welcoming community vibe.

What makes this property unique

I think the property is unique in that every moment on Anna Maria Island feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, embrace simplicity, and truly enjoy life’s little pleasures.
