Anna Maria Island : An Idyllic Paradise with Condos & Homes for Sale

The Sarasota Keys are the jewels of the Southwest Florida regional housing market and Anna Maria Island is among the prettiest of the bunch.  Located just minutes away from Bradenton and connected to Florida by two scenic causeways, Anna Maria Island is an idyllic paradise that features some of the most charming homes in the Sunshine State.

While thousands of tourists flock to the beaches of Bradenton and Sarasota each year, they tend to overlook Anna Maria Island due to its geographic location at the northern tip of the barrier islands.  Many couples plan their honeymoons here, and members of the Audubon Society welcome visitors who arrive in Anna Maria Island to partake in the excellent bird-watching opportunities.  Anna Maria Island stands out from the rest of the Sarasota Keys for its commitment to historical preservation as well as nature conservation.

The island’s natural beauty is its main attraction.  Bayfront Park and the Anna Maria Island Community Center are two popular destinations for active residents of all ages.  A few small shops and eateries can be found on the island, but the hub of commercial activity can be found just a few minutes south in Holmes Beach.  Downtown Bradenton is just a straight drive on the Manatee Avenue causeway.  Boating, kayaking, fishing and other fun outdoor activities are very enjoyable here.

There are less than two dozen neighborhoods spread across its three square-mile area.  Some of its communities feature spectacular beachfront estates, but there are also cozy condominiums and townhomes to choose from.  The Old Florida architectural style is predominant, and all properties are immaculately cared for by proud owners.  The island is home to seasonal residents, history buffs, boaters, fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers, and families who enjoy safety and quality of life for their loved ones.  School-age residents are served by the top-rated School District of Manatee County.
