Enjoy the Perfect Anna Maria Island Getaway


Looking for a gorgeous and relaxing Anna Maria Island vacation rental without leaving the Florida coast? Anna Maria Island is the perfect vacation spot for you. Anna Maria Island is located on Florida’s western shore, just a few miles south of St. Petersburg.

This small, quaint island is separated from mainland Florida by the waters of Palma Sola Bay and Anna Maria Sound. However, the coast is connected to the island by way of U.S. Highways 64 and 684, making it easy to travel between the two. Despite its size, Anna Maria Island is packed with activities to enjoy and many gorgeous rental homes.

With FloridaRentals.com, you can live like a local while on your vacation by enjoying authentic architecture from the inside out within Anna Maria Island’s residential neighborhoods.

Hotel stays can be enjoyable, but there’s nothing quite like a high-quality rental home while on vacation. Not only will your trip feel more immersive within Anna Maria Island’s unique energy, but you will also be able to truly relax while on your trip.

There is no worrying about sharing a wall with strangers or lacking privacy. Additionally, you’ll be able to relax in a private backyard with some much-needed peace and quiet. Many Anna Maria rentals with FloridaRentals.com even feature unique amenities like pools, hot tubs, entertainment centers, walkable beach access, and much more.

Anna Maria Island Travel Tips


If you’re planning a trip to Anna Maria Island, you should keep a few key details in mind. The first is which airport you plan on flying into. Anna Maria Island is reachable by car from many of Florida’s largest cities, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, and Sarasota. However, depending on where you live, traveling to Anna Maria Island by plane might be easier.

There is no airport on the island, so you will have to fly into a nearby city and rent a car or take public transport from there. The closest commercial airport to Anna Maria Island is the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, which is about 16 miles south of the island.

The St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport can also connect to Anna Maria Island via I-275 across Tampa Bay. This option is less convenient as this airport is about 45 miles north of the island. However, by flying into St. Pete–Clearwater, you could bundle multiple popular Florida destinations into one trip by taking the “long way.”

Another detail to keep in mind is the climate. Though many Florida cities experience warm weather throughout the year, the best time to enjoy the outdoors with warm yet pleasant temperatures on Anna Maria Island is mid-spring or fall. During these times of the year, average temperatures are between 80 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, and chances of precipitation are low.

The delicious globally-inspired seafood dishes are complemented by the gorgeous view of Tampa Bay, which is especially breathtaking at sunset.

If you’re looking for a more upscale after-dinner drinks experience, The Doctor’s Office is a hip cocktail bar in central Anna Maria with plenty of imaginative cocktails and light bites to enjoy.
