A summer at the beach holds a special kind of magic, offering all the beauty of nature combined with the serenity of the water, and when you choose one of our RentTheKeys Anna Maria Island beach homes for your beachy accommodations, all of the comforts of home. Offering spaces filled with light, the knowledge that the white sand beaches of the island lie just beyond the panes of glass that keep the air conditioning in and the weather out will bring visitors an experience they will want to repeat year after year. This guide to the beauty of our Anna Maria Island beach homes will make you wish your summer vacation could come even sooner, but never fear; it will be along soon enough, and then you will wish you could stop time!
All the Colors of the Rainbow
You may have noticed that we Floridians love color. It is hard to miss, as most homes and condos throughout the area are painted bright and vibrant shades. There is actually a reason behind the colorful exteriors of our homes, relating to the safety of our seafaring captains who could tell at a glance that the flamingo pink and royal purple they were viewing through their spyglasses weren’t something natural, but indicated that they had reached the shores of home. Today, electronic equipment provides for the safety of those boats, but it is somehow comforting keeping up with the tradition, and the Anna Maria Island beach home you choose to make your own may be painted in one of those vibrant colors, welcoming you home safely and cheerfully.
The Magic of Florida
Those last few seconds before you finish punching in the numbers of your keycode and the door opens are often the ones you will remember forever, as the excitement and anticipation builds until finally you have an unobstructed view of the treasures inside and your vacation adventures officially begin. Follow the paths of tile floors, (best suited for the sand you will inevitably track in) falling in love with spaces that are warm, welcoming, and ever so inviting. The living rooms, furnished with luxuriously soft chairs and sofas, are where some of dad’s best naps will be taken, as he falls asleep, missing the last 10 minutes of any show you are all watching. The dining rooms are where meals are devoured, of course, but they are also the center of family activities, where board games will be played, puzzles will be constructed, and laughter will ring through the rafters. And although cooking while on vacation may seem like a tragedy, our fully equipped kitchens will help the chores stay fun as you save more than a few bucks by not eating out every meal.
Modern Conveniences in Our Anna Maria Island Beach Homes
Your time on Anna Maria Island will be relaxing and naturally oriented, but that doesn’t mean modern conveniences aren’t necessary. Sultry summer weather will make you appreciate air conditioning and ceiling fans, rainy nights will make you happy the televisions offer clear pictures and movie theater sound, and even if you don’t cook, the small appliances in the kitchen are guaranteed to elevate your vacation to stratospheric levels. Frosty margaritas can be endless, coffee may always be brewing, and wine chillers may ensure that the Florida wine you just purchased from Fiorelli Winery in Bradenton will always be the perfect temperature for toasting. Open a bottle, pull a couple of wineglasses from the cupboards and head out to the deck on the back of your house, to put this theory to the test, toasting another magical sunset with your new favorite wine.
All the Amenities
Once upon a time in the dark ages of travel, entertainment and vacation properties did not go hand in hand. As a matter of fact, most travelers rented a single hotel room for all seven of their family members, sharing a single bathroom, a single television, and the single remote that was often chained to the table next to the bed. Maybe that hotel would offer a pool that always looked like it was on the verge of turning green and a hot tub filled with screaming kids left there by parents who just needed an hour or two of silence. Continental breakfasts were the meal of the day, and irritation, annoyance, and boredom were the emotions of the day, but that horror story has come to an end and many of the amenities listed below will be found in your Anna Maria Island beach home extraordinaire.
• Clean and Clear – A private pool will always be the correct shade of blue and crystal clear, giving occupants some wonderful quiet times to work on their tans. If the property you rent has a hot tub, it too will be clean and clear and heated to the proper temperatures.
• Shiny and Hot – A family barbecue is one of those summer experiences that never grows old and many of our AMI homes will offer a shiny grill in the backyards, allowing guests to partake in that tradition. Maybe you will grill the fish you caught while fishing shoreside in the early morning hours or maybe hot dogs and hamburgers are more your spin, but it is the extra moments spent with family and food that will add another layer of wonderful to your getaway.
• Relaxing and Restful – Not every minute of your Florida vacation has to be spent on the go, and the patios, balconies, and decks of our Anna Maria Island sanctuaries will offer plenty of spots to sit, sip, and savor complete and total relaxation. The sunsets are extraordinary in Florida and if you set aside a few minutes of every day to watch the fire in the sky, you will never regret it, especially when your viewing is accompanied by a frosty margarita or a chilled glass of chardonnay.
A Soft Place to Land
The private spaces of our RentTheKeys escapes will always provide a soft place to land after a long day of vacation adventures. En suite baths with deep tubs, showers with perfect water pressure, and towels that feel soft against slightly sunburned skin give those rooms a spa-like feel. The bedrooms, anchored by beds in a variety of sizes (even bunk beds for the children’s quarters) will be serene spaces that help you sleep deep and dream happy dreams. Some rooms will offer another television to help ease the transition between wide awake and sound asleep and other rooms may offer private balconies or separate seating areas for extra relaxation.
Beyond the Boundaries of Your Anna Maria Island Beach Home
Until recently, you may not have even heard of our island home, but rest assured, there will be as many fun moments spent on the island as there are comfortable ones spent inside each of our beach homes for rent Anna Maria Island. Seafood dinners with the family are extra fun when enjoyed at the Ugly Grouper, (so named for its 3000-pound fish sculpture) where local musicians sing for their supper and for your entertainment purposes. Long days spent hanging out on our white sand beaches and long nights spent walking along shore’s edge, watching how the moon glints off the waves. Every moment spent on Anna Maria Island is destined to be your favorite ones, especially the ones spent at home with RentTheKeys. Reserve your favorite today!
