Vacation rentals in Anna Maria Island
Anna Maria Island is the Gulf coast as it used to be: a seven-mile barrier island of pastel cottages, two piers, sea grapes, and strict height limits that keep the skyline to palm-tree level — with some of Florida's finest white-sand beaches.
Best time to book
March through May and October–November; the island's free trolley makes a car-free stay easy year-round.
Common rental types
Beach cottages · Canal homes with pools · Gulf-view condos · Weekly island duplexes
Getting there
Fly into Sarasota–Bradenton (SRQ), 30 minutes away, or Tampa (TPA), about an hour. Two drawbridges connect the island to Bradenton; a free trolley runs the whole island.
