Thinking about getting one of the vacation rentals on Anna Maria Island that have short walks to the beach? If so, there are a bunch of wonderful places to stay. But which one is right for you? We recommend the following if you want to immediately step outside and sink your toes into the soft, warm Gulf sand.
105 81st Sunset Palms
Want to head outside and go shelling? You can from this gorgeous rental! Just journey over to the beach at low tide and start gathering some shells to take home.
This 5-bedroom location is one of the most stunning Anna Maria rental homes. It’s just two houses away from the sandy beaches and is near the city of Anna Maria. Quiet and relaxing, this home ensures you don’t have to worry about noise from others disrupting your afternoon tanning session or sleep at night, which will happen in the comfort of either one of two king-size beds, a queen, or two twin beds.
Tortuga Cottage
Located at 108 5th Street South, Tortuga Cottage is a pleasant 2-bedroom rental in Bradenton Beach that makes you feel right at home. It even has a mini basketball hoop for the kids and a massive outdoor grill!
Take a few steps out the front door, and you’ll come to the Bridge Street Clock Tower, which is where the original wooden bridge connecting the island and mainland stood. During turtle season, you might just find a turtle or two hanging out on the cottage grounds!
208 A 56th St
Situated along Holmes Beach, this lovely 3-bedroom condo is super close to several beach rental shops. Hit one up for a bicycle or perhaps a kayak if you feel like getting out on the water.
This condo’s décor is extremely warm and inviting with a ton of bright floral patterns lining the furnishings. It has a huge kitchen, massive resort-style pool with lights and a waterfall, and cavernous vaulted ceilings that open up more space.
Only a block and a half from the beach, this rental gives you a good mix of privacy and beach access.
3902 Gulf Drive 2
Surf’s up, dude! One of the most home-like Anna Maria rentals near the beach, this lovely 2-bedroom unit is located above Florida’s oldest surf shop! You can quickly exit and make your way to the beach and getting a rental bike or board from the surf shop is an absolute ‘must’ for any beach bum.
If you need extra space, opt to rent the studio apartment next to this for a total of three bedrooms.
Dolphin Haus
It’s hard to resist checking out a rental with the word ‘dolphin’ in its name! This cozy 2-bedroom rental has been recently remodeled and is merely two blocks from the beach. You can walk to just about anywhere you need to go, but there is space for two cars to be parked, and the free trolley swings around every 20 minutes until 10 p.m.
It’s a cute rental with toys, carts, and beach chairs already there waiting to be used. Contact us today for more information on all of our waterfront vacation rentals in Anna Maria.
