5 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsVeselka - Canal front w private heated pool & dock
We had such a fantastic stay, and Michael & Denzil were wonderful hosts. The house was just as it’s reflected in the photos, and was well stocked. We especially enjoyed the pool as well as the dock. Our boat captain was able to pick us up in our backyard, which was super convenient and allowed us to spend some time out on the water. We rented a golf cart that came in really handy for exploring, running to the corner store, and catching sunsets at Bean Point. We had an issue with the A/C during our stay, but Michael and Denzil were super responsive and had it fixed in hardly no time. A wonderful stay, wonderful hosts, and I highly recommend this lovely home. Hope to be back next year!

Loved this place! Looks exactly like pics. Few things I always look for- cold A/C, comfortable beds, strong water pressure and hot water when I shower. This place had all!! Place was clean and organized. Washer/dryer in garage. Pool was small but perfect after a hot day at the beach. Location was close to everything and convenient. Kit was great at communicating and very responsive. I would stay here again if I get back to the island!!!

The house was wonderful. We rotated between the beach (5 minute walk) and the backyard pool all week. There are many wonderful restaurants within a 10 minute golf cart ride. Frances was quick to respond anytime we had a question. We loved the house and the overall experience on the island. We’ll be back and will definitely book with Frances.

The house was perfect! The pool and the beach access were amazing. They also have an abundance of beach and pool toys and beach chairs. The hot tub wouldn’t heat up while we were there but the hosts did refund me, which they really didn’t have to do. Safe to say we will definitely be booking again!

Antonio's place was wonderful! Very clean and spacious, perfect for a quick stop before boarding our cruise out of Tampa. The neighbors were a bit noisy but once inside the house you can't hear much at all! The outdoor space is beautiful and the house is very comfortable.

Villa in Holmes Beach
5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsWaterfront in Paradise
The easiest 5* review to write. Mimi’s place is fully refurbished, bright, modern and fully equipped. It is super clean, has the comfiest beds, well equipped kitchen, beach equipment, a dock with light/water hose and a patio with gas bbq, table, chairs and sun-beds. The location is great, on the water for boating & fishing, dolphin spotting, has floodlit tennis and pickle ball courts round the corner and a public boat ramp next to them too. The stunning beach is a short walk through to the opposite side of the island and Mimi has provided a trolley cart to use. We have had a great time made all the better by staying here.

Sophie’s place was just right for us. We felt comfortable and at ease while unwinding there between our activities. You cannot beat walking a few yards to the idyllic beauty of Cortez Beach. The nearby trolley stop is so convenient for getting around the island. We were amazed that it was so quiet and peaceful. We would gladly stay with Sophie again.

The place is special. In addition to clean and truly steps from the beach, the hosts have thought of everything. They provide cooler, beach bag, umbrella, beach towels, sun screen, after sun lotion, k-cups for the coffee maker and more. It's a can't miss. The hosts are special people. Flexible, accommodating, helpful and want you to enjoy your vacation. Made a special effort to tell us the room was ready ahead of normal check-in. Our second stay was better than our first because of the improvements and we look forward to our third. Amazing hosts. Don't pass this one up...

Joe’s beach home is perfect! Has all the amenities of home! Fully functional kitchen. Wasn’t lacking anything. The condo itself was very clean and the complex was as well! We felt very safe and at home. The pool is right outside the door and down the steps. The beach is just a few steps away. Joe provides plenty of beach chairs, a beach umbrella and boogie boards etc. He is also very responsive to any questions we had. Could not have picked a better place for our first trip to AMI. Thanks Joe for allowing us to stay in your vacation home!!

This was my wife & I’s 2nd time staying with Heidi, but our 3rd visit to Silver Sands! *Heidi was booked the other time* We spoke to her months before our visit and told her we were coming back to the BEST AIR BNB with the BEST Host! She was just excited as we were. Throughout our visit she stayed in contact with us to make sure all was well and we were having a blast! The weather was fantastic and we couldn’t have had a better time. Luckily we dodged Hurricane Helene by just a couple of days, but there is no doubt we’ll be back.

My family and I were very comfortable in the condo during our week. It was roomy enough for the five of us and everything we needed was there. We loved the condo’s beachy decor and having two screened in porches. The short walk to the beach was not bad. It only took us a few minutes to get there. The host was very friendly and responsive, plus gave suggestions of restaurants, etc. We would definitely recommend staying here!
Your guide to Anna Maria Island
Introduction
With its beautiful beaches and brilliant blue waters, this seven-mile barrier island offers a nostalgic idyll on the Gulf of Mexico. Over the years, residents have proudly resisted development, so Anna Maria’s vibe is decidedly low-key, with thatched-roof open-air bars and fresh fish restaurants dotting the waterfront. Here, where the island-wide speed limit is 35 miles per hour, the pace of life is literally slower. There are three small towns on the island — Bradenton Beach in the south, Holmes Beach in the middle, and the largest, Anna Maria, in the north — each with its own charms.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Anna Maria Island
January through April and October through December are popular months to visit as they offer temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. April and May bring temperatures in the high 80s, and June through September can be quite hot, with temperatures in the 90s. If you opt to book one of the area’s vacation rentals for a winter holiday, make sure to pack a layer for cooler evenings.
Top things to do in Anna Maria Island
Coquina Beach
You won’t have trouble finding a spot for your towel on this serene beach with sand dunes and waving beach grass. Although more sedate than nearby Manatee Public Beach, which draws more crowds, Coquina Beach doesn’t scrimp on amenities. There are picnic tables, bathrooms, and a lifeguard, making it an ideal spot for families. Bring a picnic, or fuel up at the Coquina Beach Cafe, which serves breakfast, fish tacos, and — for the grown-ups — frozen drinks at its tiki bar.
Coquina Baywalk
Get acquainted with the island’s unique ecosystem on this short walk through Leffis Key Preserve on an elevated wooden walkway. You’ll see mangrove trees alongside thousands of native plant species. You’re also likely to spot local wildlife such as geckos, crabs, stingrays, and birds — including the remarkable frigatebird, famous for showboating males who inflate an enormous red pouch under their beaks when courting.
Bean Point Beach
If you’re yearning for that Robinson Crusoe feel, Bean Point Beach is your best bet. Located on the northern tip of the island, this gorgeous stretch of sand is where the island’s founding family, chose to build their estate in 1892. Their homestead is long gone, but the beauty that drew them to the land is very much present. Off the beaten path, this public beach has no parking lots or lifeguard. What it does have is scenic splendor, a calming sense of privacy, and unobstructed sunset views.
