Choose a vacation rental on the little island that has it all
A mere 20 minutes from Bradenton, laid-back Anna Maria Island awaits. What feels like “old” Gulf Coast Florida with strict business regulations, little to no car traffic, and a peaceful way of life. That’s right, you won’t find any chain restaurants or high-rise, view-blocking buildings here. And oh, the beaches! A seven-mile strip of beautiful white-sand beaches line the barrier island of Anna Maria Island between the turquoise Gulf of Mexico and peninsular Florida. It won’t be difficult to unwind here.
Anna Maria Island has amazing beachfront with available accommodations for you. When staying in one of our Anna Maria Island vacation rentals instead of hotel, you’ll have much more space and privacy, plus cost savings when booking a property for a large group. Use the filters to narrow down your choices and choose the rental that calls to you, just like Anna Maria Island does.
Climate
You come to Florida for warmth and guaranteed clear skies. You’ll find all that and more in Anna Maria Island. The average year-round temperature in Anna Maria Island is a comfortable 75 degrees making it an ideal destination to visit during any month. You won’t see too much shifting of temps and precipitation here, though try to avoid hurricane season in the fall. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong whenever you visit.
Getting around
Hop around the island on the Anna Maria Trolley, as it runs north to south from the pier all the way to Coquina Beach. It stops every few blocks for riders to get on and off. Since parking is rare throughout the city, the trolley is a fan favorite. The best part? This scenic, air-conditioned ride is completely FREE!
Top activities and attractions
Your family won’t run low on things to do in Anna Maria Island. You’re visiting for the beaches, of course, and the best public one is known as Bean Point, located at the north end of the island. From here, you can walk around the entire island without leaving the sand. At the southern end of the area you’ll find Bradenton Beach which is another highly-rated, soft-sand place to spread your blanket and enjoy the sun. Of course a seaside city excels at water sports, too. Try your hand at parasailing, snorkeling, jet-ski, water ski, and many more activities on the turquoise blue waves.
Once you’re through with the surf, walk along the Anna Maria City Pier. Over 100 yrs old, the Pier offers up some great views of Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Skyway bridge at the northern end of the island. Visitors can see an array of birds and marine life, including dolphins and manatee. For more scenic and historic walking, check out Coquina Baywalk. This pleasant park is fun to explore. Winding boardwalks and trails along the water's edge, hidden in the mangroves.
The local museums and art galleries are popular attractions as well and great alternatives to outdoor activities. Spend an afternoon at the Anna Maria Island Historical Museum and Park. Visitors to the museum and park can learn about the island’s history, take part in a scavenger hunt, and tour the cottage that fell into the bay.
Shopping and dining
You’ll want to shop the day away on Pine Avenue, known as “the greenest little main street in America”. It’s lined with boutiques all the way up to the City Pier. Holmes Beach is also a populars shopping center ideal for grabbing that perfect souvenir.
Nestled alongside the storefronts are award-winning dining options. For those with a sweet tooth, The Donut Experiment serves up custom creations daily including a Fruity Pebbles inspired masterpiece. Yum! Fresh seafood abounds, like at the popular Waterfront Restaurant and upscale Blue Marlin Grill. For a taste of Europe, and German hops, visit Old Hamburg Schnitzelhaus serving up sausage, beer, and pretzels - each more delicious than the last.
Events
Although we discussed how the year-round flawless weather makes AMI an ideal choice no matter the month, time your trip to coincide with some popular area events to maximize fun. Heritage Day in February features the wares and skills of local artists and crafters, and attendees can take part in activities, enjoy lively music and participate in old-fashioned games for kids. Later in spring, the Bridge Street Merchants host the Blues, Brews & BBQ event to showcase the area’s top musical talents. Outdoor Market Sundays take place November through April with crafts and local produce for sale.
