Savour a hibiscus-pink sunrise and gentle salt breezes from your Anna Maria Island balcony. Take your breakfast on the screened-in lanai and dine above tropical treetops, with views of the turquoise swimming pool. The morning is serene, with soft rhythms of surf in the distance. Sip your coffee or fresh squeezed orange juice. After breakfast, you can stroll along your private, sugar-white sand beach; which lies directly across the street from your condo.

Perhaps you’ll take the trolley into town for some afternoon shopping or sightseeing. Perhaps it's a day for boating, fishing, or entertaining family. By sunset, you’ll rock in the porch swing of the bayfront gazebo, immersed in the beauty of nature. A white ibis will be hunting for fiddler crabs. You’ll notice dolphins, or even a gentle manatee surfacing for a breath of air in the shadows of twilight. You’ll watch waves sparkle like amethyst crystals at sunset. You’ll breathe the faint fragrance of night-blooming jasmine that rises just after dusk. And then you’ll know this is the rest and relaxation you’ve been seeking. THIS is Bradenton Beach Club Bliss.

GETTING AROUND ANNA MARIA ISLAND:

We have two excellent local taxi services who will take you anywhere on the island or over to the mainland. Also why not try out the little island trolley that runs up and down the island, passing by every 20 minutes. There are plenty of stops and it is a great way to explore. It also has a bike rack on the front so if you want to cycle out and ride back this is a fun way to travel. Orlando is the world’s number one attraction which draws huge crowds. Lining up with children for hours in the Florida heat is extremely tiring, so make sure you have plenty to drink and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. A whole week of theme parks is exhausting. Our suggestion for a really enjoyable vacation is to unwind after your flight on the island and enjoy the sun, sea and sand, then make a one or two day excursion to Disney during the course of your vacation. We are happy to advise you on obtaining inexpensive overnight accommodation in Orlando.

TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN:

Make sure small children wear sun hats, T-shirts and sunblock to prevent sunburn. Nearby shops sell them, plus a great range of beach toys, buckets & spades. Walgreens and Eckerd both pharmacies which sell many baby items plus prescription and non prescription drugs.

SHOPPING: Prices in Florida are generally much less expensive than in Europe. We have excellent casual and beachwear on the island. For really serious shoppers the nearby town of Bradenton is home to an incredible factory outlet mall where you can “shop till you drop”. Also really worth a visit is De Soto Mall just over on the mainland, with three large department stores, diverse small shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Trainers, sports gear, cosmetics, sunglasses, luxury name brand clothing lines, jewelry, shoes, CDs, cameras plus a myriad of other items.

CLOTHING: Make your journey easy, travel light. You have a large washer and dryer in your vacation home – you can buy great beach clothes & swimsuits here on island. Bring a light jacket for cooler evenings in winter months and wear cool comfortable cottons and sunhats/shades. If you are planning to take a trip up to Busch Gardens in Tampa or Disney in Orlando wear comfortable trainers.

ISLAND INFORMATION: We place a local information file in your vacation property with the answer to almost every question that has been asked of us by our guests. This contains emergency numbers, contact information, getting around, things to do and places to visit, info on your property, services, taxis, local restaurants and general island info. Our two local island newspapers can always be picked up at Publix Grocery store on the island and are a mine of information for visitors on local events, new restaurants to visit, fishing news and all the local gossip. The Anna Maria Island chamber of commerce office also has a plethora of maps, brochures and leaflets plus info on local tennis courts, golf, water sports, boat & jetski rental, scuba diving, boat trips, fishing trips and area events.
