Happy New Year! Why not make 2009 the year you spend some time with us down on Anna Maria Island?
We have so much to offer the vacationing family, all through the year.
Seven miles long with perfect unbroken beaches along the length of its western shore, Anna Maria Island has always attracted discerning travelers in search of a little piece of paradise. You can discover it for yourself simply by crossing one of the two bridges connecting the island to the mainland of Manatee County, Florida, and letting the magic of the island do the rest.
Travel along Gulf Drive to enjoy the individual delights of the three diverse cities which make up the island: Anna Maria at the north end, Holmes Beach in the center and Bradenton Beach wrapping around its southern tip. Each adds a different but essential ingredient to the island's unique flavor, making your stay varied and ever-changing.
Despite being home for many of the island's residents, the entire City of Anna Maria has been designated a wildlife sanctuary and you can expect to see a wide variety of birds there, along with bottle-nosed dolphins and manatees in the crystal clear waters around its beaches, which are also a prime nesting ground for loggerhead turtles.
Holmes Beach is the largest of the three cities and covers a three-mile stretch of shoreline looking out to the Gulf of Mexico on its western edge and the tranquil waters of Anna Maria Sound to the east. Holmes Beach offers the opportunity for some retail therapy and plenty of fine restaurants. Bradenton Beach, meanwhile, presents a laid-back, traditional Floridian experience, with miles of uninterrupted sand, beachside restaurants and an eclectic mix of shops in the historic old town district.
Wherever you stay on the island you are never far from a beautiful, sun-kissed beach and 80-degree sea temperatures, guaranteed to help you unwind. But if all that relaxation gets too much there are plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, all types of water sports, shelling, tennis and the chance to enjoy the numerous top-class golf courses nearby. Anna Maria Island is also just one hour from the many attractions of Tampa and two hours from Orlando.
Whether on your own, as a couple, a family or large party, we want to make your time on the island as peaceful and stress-free as possible. We offer and range of luxury, five-star vacation villas, each with their own private pools, or first-class condos with direct beachfront views. Our standards are high, with sumptuous furnishings, thick pillow top mattresses, freshly laundered towels and linens, clean, fresh kitchens and bathrooms and a rare attention to detail as standard.
So come and stay a while with us in a truly special place – and fall under the spell of Anna Maria Island yourself. Visit annamaria.com for more information
