Anna Maria Island Vacation Rentals versus Hotels – Part I

Sunday, February 7th, 2010
Bradenton Beach Private Pool Rental

Fantastic Pool and hot tub

There has been some great strides made in educating the marketplace on Vacation rentals versus hotels.   Each one has its place for providing good accommodations.  If you are staying on business or as a couple for one – two days then a hotel is probably the best bet.  You don’t need a ton of space and just one bedroom works fairly well for short stays.

Staying for longer than a few nights with multiple people makes a hotel room no longer the best choice.  Taking out multiple hotel rooms which are small and just not built to support multiple folks is where a hotel room no longer makes sense.  What does make sense is renting a vacation rental condo, home or villa on Anna Maria Island.  A few large vacation rental home networks have begun to show the drawbacks to renting a hotel room for a vacation.  On Superbowl Sunday several advertisements will be shown and expect the “Griswold’s,” America’s vacation family to poke a little fun at hotels versus Vacation Rentals.  This is just one post of many and hopefully very soon after the official commercials I will be able to post the videos.

For now I will wet your whistle with vacation rental commercial done by another vacation rental company.  Don’t forget if you are looking for vacation rentals on Anna Maria Island, look no further to Island Real Estate Vacation Rentals.  Enjoy the video!

“Nice house, great location, but no air conditioning”
“The house was nice and clean. It was warm when we arrived. We contacted the office the next day and they sent someone out to look at the air conditioning. It still hot the next day so they moved us at their expense and were very apologetic. We had a very nice stay and always enjoy the island. We appreciate the efforts that Island Real Estate went to to make our stay enjoyable.”

Island Real Estate has a ton of reviews just like the one found below…

“Well looked after”
“Well looked after by Island real estate, going beyond the call of duty when one of our party had sun burn. Everything was clean and tidy, with key pick up and drop off easy. Will use them again on are next holiday Tony and Rosie England”

Hidden Cove Vacation Rental

Direct Gulf Front

Fantabulous Holmes Beach, Florida Vacation Rental

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Four bedroom beach cottage just recently renovated is a perfect spot to sit back and relax. The four bedrooms can accommodate eight comfortably however two sleeper sofa’s as well as a air mattress gets the home up to fourteen! We probably would not suggest adults on an air mattress but children are tough and usually find it more fun.

The 4 bedroom Holmes Beach Vacation Rental is just a short stroll to the Gulf of Mexico. It is about 1.5 blocks to the beach. The private Anna Maria Island vacation rental also has a newly installed pool equipped with a heater for the rare cold evening as well as a swim up bar. That’s right, a swim up bar with bar bench to relax in the pool, the sun and sip your favorite beverage. The Extra large back yard makes it a perfect private oasis. I forgot to mention the barbecue grill perfect for a pool side picnic!

Just off the pool is the game room inside equipped with a Wii. The home has three Kings and a double-twin bunk bed. The kitchen has just been renovated as well and is a perfect spot to prepare the family favorite vacation meal. The living area creates a great room effect with the kitchen so the entire family can share in time out of the sun. Some last notes, sorry no pets, YES there is wireless Internet if you need to do a LITTLE work while out of the office. Call the great folks at Island Real Estate Vacation Rentals if you have questions or visit their website for more information on 407 80th street, Holmes Beach, Fl.

I have attached a You Tube video below for some great shots of this Holmes Beach, Vacation rental cottage. If you are interested in more Anna Maria Island Vacation rentals be sure to visit my Anna Maria Island Real Estate website.
