A Perfect Experience A

Every aspect of our stay was perfect from booking through to departure. It is so nice to stay at properties owned by people that truly want their guests to feel at home. Just the right mix of beach, classy and comfortable. We will definitely plan to stay here again on our next trip to the Bradenton/ Anna Maria area.

Spring Break 2025

My spouse and two teenage kids (15/18) stayed here for spring break. We had an amazing time. Very clean and comfortable home with everything you could ask for from kitchen utensils to super fast wifi; even a tv over the pool to watch the game while you lounge. Owners gets 5 stars for communication during our stay. Here’s an example: it was a little bit chilly the week we were there and the owner was nice enough to bump up the pool water temp so it would be a little warmer during our stay. Great neighborhood (we’ve stayed at another VRBO just down the street before) and this beautiful, well appointed home is just a few steps to the beach. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous!!

We were blown away by this Anna Maria Island gem! So happy we found this home for our stay in Anna Maria! My family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids ages 6, 4 and 2) loved this fully equipped, perfectly located and beautifully decorated home! It is a 1-2 minute stroll to white beaches and ocean fun! We loved sitting on the balcony to listen to the waves in the morning and post our day on the beach spent the evenings swimming in the fabulous private pool. I’m missing those evenings on the pool chairs already! The house comes with all of the beach and pool equipment/toys (beach wagon too!) and the kitchen is equipped to cook any meal or is perfect for all of the Uber Eats orders we made. Anything you might need, we found it! Laundry detergent and even coffee! The bunk bed room was so great for our two older children and the room with the queen fit a packnplay for my 2 year old. The primary room was so lovely and the bed was very comfortable!The entire home really is a special retreat! Mark Anthony, was fantastic!! His communication was above and beyond and our experience was better than expected! We also didn’t mind the bottle of wine he left for us. Thank you Mark Anthony for a beautiful experience!

Stay of a lifetime!

We recently had an incredible stay at a new beach vacation rental on Anna Maria Island, called Family Tides'. I can confidently say it’s the best we’ve experienced! After staying at many rentals on the island, this one has set a new standard for us. Everything in the property is brand new and of the highest quality—it truly feels like a luxury getaway. The location couldn't be better! We loved the private path leading to the beach; it only took us 30 seconds to walk from our rear gate to the sandy shores. Waking up so close to the beach with a nice Gulf view was a treat. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare any meal, making cooking a breeze. And let me tell you, the beds were super comfortable, ensuring we got the restful sleep we needed after long days in the sun. This rental is superb in every way, and we’re already planning our next stay in just a few months. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway on Anna Maria Island!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Anthony

Host profile image
My goal is to give our guests such a great experience that they become repeat guests. Most of our guests have returned to our other properties again and again. 'Family Tides' is our newest and the most grand and special beach property we have ever owned! We hope you will love our newly remodeled & expanded vacation beach home so much that it becomes your vacation home away from home!!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Walk out our rear gate to private path the walkway leading to beach in under 30 seconds!!

Only about a few minute stroll to several local restaurants, including Authentic French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese cuisines, Walgreens, Dunkin Donuts, Publix, and so many more! No need for a car! If you want to travel the full 7 miles of the island, there's no better way than by FREE TROLLEY! You're on vacation and deserve to let someone else to do the driving! Trolley picks up just steps away from our property!! Enjoy the trolley ride all the way south on Anna Maria Island, to beautiful Coquina Beach. Take trolley to amazing Bridge St. In the opposite direction go all the way to the north of the island to the restaurants and activities on glorious Pine St.

Keep your car in our garage and take the free trolley everywhere on the island!! You're on vacation, let someone else do the driving. It's FREE!! Plus, parking is somewhat limited on the island making the free trolley a HUGE BENEFIT!

What makes this property unique

Have coffee on 2 of our 3 balconies while enjoying gulf views and relaxing with friends or family on our comfy outdoor furniture!

Most vacation rentals on the island are not close to beach, and if they are, most require you to cross busy roads! Our home has a rear gate to private path the walkway leading to beach in under 30 seconds!! No busy roads to cross!!

Many properties have old outdated furnishings, appliances, A/C/heating systems, dishes, pots, utensils, etc. We know...we used to rent before we invested on Anna Maria Island. Nothing we have ever rented was remotely comparable to what we offer. EVERYTHING IN OUR HOME IS NEW AND PREMIUM QUALITY! EVERY ASPECT OF OUR HOME IS MINT CLEAN AND SANITIZED. Our property is cleaner than other rentals on Anna Maria island! We sanitize every surface seen and unseen! Linens & towels properly cleaned and safely sanitized, etc.! Our elevated home did not incur ANY water damage from hurricane! BEWARE of many vacation rentals that were not elevated like ours or, elevated homes that didn't have a new metal roof like ours and sustained water damage. Many of these buildings have slapped a coat of paint over the walls and wiped off the furniture, appliances, etc., to quickly get their property back on the market. If proper water remediation was not performed, which means disposal of all furniture, appliances, wall insulation and drywall from floor to ceiling, flooring, etc., there will still be mold spores in the air. Some will even try to mask the smell with various types of air fresheners! Just be aware. We know you work hard and deserve a nice clean, like new, place from owners who truly care and are available nearby if needed.
