Anna Maria Island is located on Florida’s Gulf coast 35 miles south of Tampa Bay and 7 miles west of Bradenton Florida. Anna Maria Island Florida is the northern most of a string of barrier islands that stretch in a southerly direction toward the Florida Keys. Surprisingly Anna Maria Island comprises three very unique cities (villages), Bradenton Beach on the southern tip of the island Holmes Beach in the middle and Anna Maria on the northern tip. The sugar white sand beaches and crystal blue waters extend the entire length of Anna Maria Islands seven miles coast line. This isn’t a place where you go to the beach. When you are on Anna Maria Island you are at the beach. Anna Maria Island is rimmed with towering Australian pines, some as high as 60 feet, along with magnificent palm trees and sea oats. Abundant bird life soar against the bright blue skies.

Anna Maria Island Florida is affectionately known as the island in the sun and is Florida’s best kept secret. With Gulf temperatures averaging 84 degrees and 361 days of sunshine per year the surrounding waters of Anna Maria Island are known as the nursery because of the large number of dolphins that raise their young here. When walking or dining on Anna Maria Island’s four gorgeous beaches or its surrounding coast line it is not uncommon to see dolphins playing.

With the island’s laid back charm and leisurely unhurried living speed limits are restricted to 25-35 mph throughout the island. This tropical paradise also offers free trolley service for both tourists and residents. A car is not necessary when vacationing on the island or you could park your car for your entire vacation. The trolley tours the island from 6:00 am and 10:30 pm and runs every 20-30 minutes. For your convenience the trolley stops right in-front of our Anna Maria Island Florida beach rentals condo.

Anna Maria Island is completely surrounded by four tropical bodies of water and is accessible by two drawbridges from the mainland and one from Longboat Key where you will discover Sarasota. This tropical island paradise offers you seven miles of the most beautiful and peaceful white sand beaches found anywhere in the world lined with fishing piers, 150 miles of waterfront, waterfront restaurants, three waterfront parks crystal clear blue waters that meet the seemingly endless powdery white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island Florida.
Nearby Restaurants

Our condo is located within a few minutes walk of the islands best restaurants and bars featuring live music seven days a week including the Tiki Hut, Wicked Cantina, Beach House, Omas, Island Time, Beach Bistro, Freckle Fin, Blue Marlin, Bridge Tender and the Anna Maria Island Oyster Bar.

The Runaway Tropical Retreat is completely surrounded by water with the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the Intra-Coastal Waterway to the east, Tampa Bay to the north and Sarasota Bay to the south. We have the best location on Anna Maria Island where the island is only 150 yards wide. Our complex stretches from the Gulf to the Intra-Coastal Waterway. We have private beach access and there are more than twelve restaurants you can walk to in just a few minutes.

Great location for the price

This was a great location, close to the beach. The condo supplied all the basics, including paper supplies, etc., to get you started. It was clean and comfortable. They supplied plenty of towels, which you don’t often get. The twin beds in the spare room weren’t very comfortable however, children probably wouldn’t mind. I would strongly caution to be sure to hang the guest pass in your car AT ALL TIMES. One morning, my car was almost towed. The towing company said the owner called them and reported a car was parked illegally in the designated condo spot. I had no warning whatsoever, not even a heads up from the owner. Very close call, which would’ve cost me hundreds of dollars. That is probably the only reason I wouldn’t give this a total five star review. Otherwise, everything was great.

Great location

We loved staying here. It was very clean, easy to check in, easy to hop on the trolley. The kitchen worked great for us but didn't have like olive oil or basic things like that. Did have coffee filters though. We used the washer and dryer and they were great. Unfortunately, we had some bad weather so we couldn't take advantage of the pool or the pickleball but it was accessible. The bed wasn't super comfortable but nothing traveling is like your bed at home. Our issue was with the property management company and not having luggage storage for an entire day when our flight was late. This was a huge inconvenience and we missed out on a beach day because of it. Overall, it was a good place to stay. We ended up going to places more on the north part of the island so I would stay on anna maria next time but we were able to walk to a lot and see a lot with this location.

Vacation stay at Anna Marie Island

The condo was nice. Loved having a washer and dryer and all wood floors! NO CARPET!👍Neighborhood was very nice. Cons: livingroom blinds need to be replaced along with the beach wagon. Back wheel was broken. Please have your cleaning crew change the air filter. Regularly! We changed the filter which was very dirty. Would stay at this condo again!

Great updated condo in great location

This was our second stay at the Runaway Bay complex; we love the complex and this unit was fabulous. Right across the street from the beach; has a nice pool if beach is a little windy/cool. Unit had everything we needed, and updated kitchen with open floor plan was great. Good communication with host and easy check out process appreciated. Only negative was pullout couch was extremely uncomfortable but if you aren’t using it no worries! Would definitely book again!

Great condo and location

Condo was ideal for family of 4. It was a good size and had everything needed to enjoy our stay. Had the bonus of beach chairs and other equipment. A 2 minute walk to the beach with access right opposite development. Beach was awesome and offered great walking swimming and space to enjoy a beach day. Some great local restaurants and take outs (smoqehouse, right next door was brilliant). Easy access to longboat key and on/off island. AMI doesn’t allow chains (Mcd’s Starbucks etc ) which means local business get supported, what a refreshing change. Over 30yrs of visiting Florida and 1st visit to this area, defo would return and would most definitely choose to work with terry again and his family’s condo. 10/10.

I chose this property for a few reasons. Reasonably priced, ratings, closeness to the beach, and especially the decor. We wanted something soft and relaxing as we needed to de-stress and not something loud and distracting. This little condo is amazing!!!! It’s very cute, well kept, and clean. I can’t say enough great things about this little rental and location. I would def stay here again and rent from this agency.

Almost perfect.

No internet when we arrived since Spectrum was requiring equipment update. Normally not a big deal but cell and data are poor in this area so it was a little of an inconvenience. It was up and running the next day. 1 off the 3 tv's did not have cable access but again we were not there to watch tv:) The main shower had a handle missing from one of the doors. Some broken blinds. The biggest complaint was the matresses. It was tough to get a good nights sleep.Now the good. Great location.Short walk to restaurants and the beach. Very clean condo. No bugs! I would suggest new matresses and box springs and more decor on the walls with ocean and beach related stuff. Us tourists love that. The condo could use a couple of upgrades but with new matresses we would rent from Terry again.

We had a wonderful stay. Overall the unit was clean, the beds comfortable, plus an easy check in process. The private beach is just across the street and is not overly crowded. We live in Florida near Sanibel Island ( always crowded) so being able to enjoy the nice quiet beach was wonderful. The pool is nice and large and the full time residents are very friendly. Terry was very prompt to answer any questions which was a big plus. We would stay in this unit again.
