Enjoy this unique vacation rental property on beautiful, family friendly Anna Maria Island, home of 7 miles of unspoiled, uncrowded white sand beaches on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and recently voted the third best small town in America by Family Destinations Guide.  Located at the south end of the Island in Bradenton Beach, the Island Getaway Cottages are located within a minute’s walk from the world’s most beautiful sand beaches on the Gulf side and a small pier on the bay side, meaning you can enjoy the serenity of viewing both sunrise and sunset just minutes from your front door.  Historic Bridge street, and City Pier provide plenty of shops, restaurants and bars and several nearby marinas offering opportunities for boat rental, water sports and day or night fishing are a short walking distance away. The entire Island can be accessed by a free trolly. No through traffic ensures a private location to enjoy the very special quiet and serene atmosphere of the Island Getaway Cottages. The one, two and three bedroom units are all upgraded and most units have private lanais as well. The lighted, lushly landscaped courtyard is in the center of all 9 units and provides private seatings for the guests to enjoy a coffee, read a book or play games in a tropical outdoor setting.
