BEACH BABY TOO~ANNA MARIA ISLAND VACATION RENTAL HOME
The original easy beach vacation at an affordable price! No stairs to travel, and only a one-minute walk until your feet are in the Gulf of Mexico or at the shores of Anna Maria Sound.
This two-bedroom, one-bath charmer is tucked between beach and bay in Bradenton Beach. You'll find yourself so close to both the Gulf beaches and the beauties of the Bay that you may only use this cute home base to sleep! However, the comforts of home will beckon, with a large flat-panel television in the living room, a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, and the convenience of ground floor living. The two bedrooms offer a choice of a queen bed and flat-panel TV, or two twin beds.
Every Island attraction is right at your fingertips during your stay here. Whether you want to sink your toes in the white sand on the Gulfside, or pause to watch the sunrise over the Bay, you'll only have to walk a short distance. Ready to explore? The free Island Trolley stops at the top of the street, ready to take you to the north end of the Island for a visit to the village of Anna Maria, where two historic piers offer opportunities for fishing and dining. Shops, restaurants, galleries, and even a museum and community theater can also be found on this end of the Island.
In Holmes Beach, you can get off the Trolley to enjoy more excellent shops and restaurants, as well as a marina, library, free community tennis courts, and several gyms open to visitors.
You'll also want to explore the rest of Bradenton Beach to the south of your unit. Historic Bridge Street was once the location of the very first bridge to the mainland. Today's Cortez Bridge, just a bit to the north, is made out of sturdier stuff than the original wood structure, but the original street is still there, and it is a fun place for shopping, dining, live music, a weekly open-air market (in season), fishing, and even miniature golf!
Pelagic Palace Vacation Rental Home, on Anna Maria Island Florida
If you've decided on an Anna Maria Island vacation, it's probably because you like to see the water. And if you like to see the water, you can't find a better spot than this wonderful two-bedroom, two-bath ground floor condo in Seaside Gardens, where the water is so close, you may forget you're still on land!
This charming unit was fully remodeled in 2019. A comfortable seating area in the living room offers a whole wall of beautiful views of the water.

Seaside Gardens is a friendly community located in the heart of Holmes Beach, offering loads of choices right at your doorstep.

A ride on the trolley will connect you to shops and restaurants on Pine Avenue, the Anna Maria Historical Society Museum, the Island Players Theater, the historic Anna Maria City Pier, and lots more opportunities to hit our gorgeous beaches.
From your unit, you can also walk into Holmes Beach and catch the southbound trolley for a visit to Bradenton Beach and historic Bridge Street, or take a stroll on the miles of beachfront paths that run along Coquina Beach. You might also decide to connect to other lines that can take you to Longboat Key, St. Armands Circle, and the artistic options available in downtown Sarasota.
If a water adventure is your style, bring your kayaks and launch them right off your personal dock. The dock also happens to be a great place to fish. Bringing your own boat? The Holmes Beach public boat launch is conveniently located next door.
You don't have to be a boater or a fisherman, however, to enjoy the beauty of Pelagic Palace's water views. The large patio is likely to become your favorite spot for relaxation and soaking up the sun. It's also a great spot for bird-watching and is a favorite with the elegant birds of prey and sea birds.
