Modern Resort-Style Townhouse
We had a great time at Gleb’s place. The townhouse was beautiful and very clean. Comfortable beds. The bunk bed has a trundle mattress on the bottom which worked out great for my youngest child. The clubhouse is amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Home In S Tampa Near Water & Downtown
We stayed for 6 nights while in town for our daughter’s wedding. Lovely historic home! Was spacious and clean, with nice little extras in the kitchen. Perfect location.

Private back yard. Southgate. 2 bedroom, 2 bath.
We had a wonderful stay at Evona’s house. It was so comfortable & nicely furnished with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Super comfortable bed & sofa. Kitchen was great - spacious & well equipped. Especially appreciated the kettle being British! Loved the secluded garden & we had our thanksgiving dinner out there. The street was so quiet & next to the house was a pretty walkway which you could take - 10 mins walk to Aldi (supermarket) & the French bakery (highly recommended). Can’t say much about restaurants as we ate in most evenings but downtown is only a short ride away with lots of places to eat. Not a long drive to both Siesta & Lido beaches & Arlington park with its huge swimming pool is a very short drive or 20 mins walk away. We would love to return for thanksgiving next year.

Downtown New Construction House
Absolutely lovely accommodation, great air con, comfortable bed and fantastic location, walkable into town and beaches. Great communication. Thank you Maria!

The day has arrived, enjoy.

Stylish Seminole Heights House
This place was very cozy and literally walking distance from everything. Place was clean and it was super easy to contact the host and they contacted us back very quickly. The only that was a little inconvenient was we really needed the pull out couch for a bed and it was so uncomfortable and warn out that we had to buy an air mattress for us to accommodate the sleeping. Also there is only 1 tv for the whole place so when my niece who was sleeping in the living room went to bed we didn’t have entertainment throughout the night for the rest of us. My family works over night so we are night owls and more tvs would have helped a lot. Outside of that the place was amazing and definitely would book again with a smaller group

Lagoonside Escape
Perfect place for our quick trip. Host was very responsive and communicated well. She was able to answer all of my questions. The home was nice and in a quiet and safe area. Nice area to walk around the neighborhood. We will definitely rebook this place the next time we are in the area Thanks for being a great host

Fins Up – Cozy Retreat, Pool, Walk to Beach
If Anna Maria island is one of the most beautiful destinations, this is definitely one of the most beautiful rentals to stay in. We enjoyed every moment there and were sad we had to leave 😊 Everything worked out very easy and the communication and service is great. Definately and recommendation!

Heated Pool! Huge Walk In Shower! 5 min to beach!
We had an amazing stay at this property! The location couldn’t be better—just a short drive to the beach. Everything needed for the beach in garage. The pool was clean, relaxing, and felt like a private oasis after a day in the sun. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly throughout. Very comfortable beds! Had everything in the house needed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beach getaway!

Newly Renovated- 150 Yards to Beach & Restaurants!
My mom and I came down for a long weekend and stayed at John’s place and we were thoroughly impressed! It was the nicest Air BnB I’ve stayed in! It was in a perfect location, walking distance to the beach and many restaurants and right across from a trolley stop too. The beds and bedding were SO comfy, that was probably the best I’ve ever slept in an Air BnB. The towels were oversized and fluffy, you wouldn’t think things like that would make a difference but they do. Everything was absolutely spotless and clean, all of the bedding and towels smelled fresh and clean too. They provided everything you could need, from toiletries and a hair dryer, to everything in the kitchen, to any beach gear that was needed. The house itself is very clean, comfy and cozy and you can tell they take pride in their place just from the landscaping outside, it makes it so pretty! We will definitely be back!

Busch Gardens, Moffitt, USF Tropical Villa
The house was as described. It was clean and actually felt like a “home” when you walked in. Plenty of room, well stocked, and comfy. The location was PERFECT for our trip. Centrally located to shops, restaurants, and all the tourist attractions. BG, The Zoo, & The Aquarium were all less than 20 minutes away. We would definitely stay again.

Villa Key West "Villas by Christine"
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Christine's Keywest Villa. It was clear that every detail had been carefully thought out. The Villa was immaculately clean. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Aloha Villa Pet Friendly 3 miles to Siesta Key #2
I visited Sarasota with my family from the state of Rhode Island from April 4 to April 7 and we stayed at Jason’s & Laura house and it was an amazing experience. The house was very clean and organized. The house is located on a great neighborhood, super safe and great amenities. The house was stocked with beach supplies like beach chairs, beach towels, a boogie board and a beach cooler that was so nice. The house was exactly what we were expecting, I would recommended to everyone. Thank you Josh and laura.

Villa Perdomo Family
We loved our stay at Antonio’s! Place was very clean, had lots of space and had everything we needed. We used the fire pit and the pool each day. We were in town for the women’s basketball final four. Took a little longer to get downtown than we hoped but that was due to traffic. I would highly recommend!Antonio was very responsive, let us get in the house early and was quick to respond. If ever traveling to Tampa I would book again.

1 house to beach entrance. Peaceful. Walk to dine.
This place was great! So close to the beach. We have been staying in this area for 20+ years and love coming here every time. Nancy’s home was clean and perfect for what we needed.

Entire Standalone Villa,1.2k sf,1 block Lido Beach
Absolutely perfect location! Walking distance to Lido beach and St. Armand’s Circle. Rooms and amenities were very spacious and comfortable. Loved having beach equipment, beach towels, washer/dryer available. Easy checkin! Had the best time!
Condo rentals in Anna Maria Island

*Waterfront *2 Bedroom Condo *Amazing Sunsets*Pool
Our family had a wonderful time at this condo! We enjoyed waking to see the ocean every day and also had enough space to relax on our vacation. Helena provides a beach bag with towels and sand toys that were a very nice touch for our beach day. The staff at the bar/restaurant were great and we also felt safe with the 24 hour security guards on duty. This place really made our trip extra special!

SPECTACULAR VIEW 3 bdm condo RIGHT ON the beach
The view was fantastic. It was quiet and close to anywhere we needed or wanted.

Beachfront w/ Stunning Sunsets in Prime Location.
For an older building the unit was well maintained and was right on the beach and close to many restaurants as well as a grocery store.

Beach Nirvana - 2b /1b Condo
Our family really enjoyed our stay! The place was spacious enough for our family, and the location is absolutely perfect. We loved being able to have an easy walk to the beach, and to Paradise Grill (one of our favorite places to eat). It is also walking distance to other great restaurants. The place was very clean and the host was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Great stay!

Arie Dam 302, Beach Front Condo - 2Bed/2Bath
Our family of 6 had the best time! Our condo was so nice, clean, and comfortable. It was great to have beach towels and chairs to use as well!! The beach and view was amazing. We had no idea it would be so beautiful. The pool wasn’t quite ready but that didn’t matter (repairs due to the hurricane) the ocean was enough. Our son rented a fishing pole from Hubbards Marina and had the best time fishing off the shore while our other kids swam. We would go back and stay at the same place again. The beach was not crazy busy. Early mornings and late evenings were so peaceful.

5 *Waterfront Condo,3 Beds,2 Baths, Pool, HOT-TUB.
The condo was beautiful. Clean and spacious. Lots of amenities. Close to the public beach, restaurants, bars, and shops. Plus David ordered a perfect week of weather for us! Wonderful.

Florida Bella Rosa-2 spas & pools near IMG/beaches
We are already looking to see when we can come back to Florida and stay in Daniel's rental again! It has everything you need, it is well-kept, and it is close to everything you want/need (the beach, Detwiler's, Publix, stores, restaurants). It is in a safe location. The Shorewalk ammenities (pools and hot tubs) are nice as well. Even though one pool's heater was broken, there was another pool to choose from and two hot tubs. He checked-in with us to make sure check-in went well and to make sure that our stay was going well. Daniel provided thorough instructions and recommendations for everything you could possibly need. He was a great host with a great home away from home!

Breathtaking Waterview & Pool View Condo
Awesome view and wonderful host. Easy to find and easy access check in. Will return again.
Your guide to Anna Maria Island
Introduction
With its beautiful beaches and brilliant blue waters, this seven-mile barrier island offers a nostalgic idyll on the Gulf of Mexico. Over the years, residents have proudly resisted development, so Anna Maria’s vibe is decidedly low-key, with thatched-roof open-air bars and fresh fish restaurants dotting the waterfront. Here, where the island-wide speed limit is 35 miles per hour, the pace of life is literally slower. There are three small towns on the island — Bradenton Beach in the south, Holmes Beach in the middle, and the largest, Anna Maria, in the north — each with its own charms.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Anna Maria Island
January through April and October through December are popular months to visit as they offer temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. April and May bring temperatures in the high 80s, and June through September can be quite hot, with temperatures in the 90s. If you opt to book one of the area’s vacation rentals for a winter holiday, make sure to pack a layer for cooler evenings.
Top things to do in Anna Maria Island
Coquina Beach
You won’t have trouble finding a spot for your towel on this serene beach with sand dunes and waving beach grass. Although more sedate than nearby Manatee Public Beach, which draws more crowds, Coquina Beach doesn’t scrimp on amenities. There are picnic tables, bathrooms, and a lifeguard, making it an ideal spot for families. Bring a picnic, or fuel up at the Coquina Beach Cafe, which serves breakfast, fish tacos, and — for the grown-ups — frozen drinks at its tiki bar.
Coquina Baywalk
Get acquainted with the island’s unique ecosystem on this short walk through Leffis Key Preserve on an elevated wooden walkway. You’ll see mangrove trees alongside thousands of native plant species. You’re also likely to spot local wildlife such as geckos, crabs, stingrays, and birds — including the remarkable frigatebird, famous for showboating males who inflate an enormous red pouch under their beaks when courting.
Bean Point Beach
If you’re yearning for that Robinson Crusoe feel, Bean Point Beach is your best bet. Located on the northern tip of the island, this gorgeous stretch of sand is where the island’s founding family, chose to build their estate in 1892. Their homestead is long gone, but the beauty that drew them to the land is very much present. Off the beaten path, this public beach has no parking lots or lifeguard. What it does have is scenic splendor, a calming sense of privacy, and unobstructed sunset views.
