estate comeback. It is well documented that resort areas are the first to return to healthy property appreciation. We are starting to see the mainland real estate pick up in transactions and a recent large transaction produces good news. As reported by the Herald Tribune in Bradenton, Florida :”Perico Project picked up by Canadian Firm.” St. Joes began a 352 acre project on Perico Island. Perico island is just across the draw bridge from Anna Maria Island. It’s a couple orange throws from Anna Maria Island. The Perico Island project will have a positive impact on Anna Maria Island. Originally the project was stopped mid-2007 by St. Joe’s due to the adverse Real Estate conditions nationwide and in the Bradenton, Florida area. Minto, a family owned company with operations in Ottowa and Toronto has built more than 65,000 homes in its 54 year history and looks like they will build a few more on Perico Island. For more information on the purchase visit the Herald Tribune web article.
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.

Anna Maria Island continues to make headlines in world wide press. Sure, I suppose if we looked hard enough anyone could find some headline about Anna Maria Island once a week. Perhaps your in Firestone, Colorado, or Bristol, Rhode Island or New York City and fall upon an article about Anna Maria Island. Ok, not so much of a big de…al? Wait a second, New York City is a pretty big town last I checked.
Yup, that is right. A few weeks ago in the end of July 2009 the New York Times Travel section headlined Anna Maria Island Restaurants. The New York Times writer Cindy Price got it “write.” She captured Anna Maria Island with accurate “taste” tests of Anna Maria Island. The article featured many of the great Anna Maria Island restaurants that we all know and love. Cindy writes about stumbling across such a phenomenal place that you want to pinch yourself to be sure it is real. “Just when you think you’ve seen everything under its proverbial sun, you stumble across a place like Anna Maria Island — a seven-mile slip of cushy white sand tucked in the Gulf of Mexico where you can dump the car, rent a bike, swim in smooth, teal waters and eat remarkably well.” New York Times.
Not to be critical but Price did miss one great resource for restaurant information. Island Real Estate’s Anna Maria Island Restaurant informational page. It lists at least 25 restaurants on it’s page with links of pictures and real descriptions of what you can expect with comments from other travelers.

Those have not are learning from publications that do a fantastic job of explaining what it is we love about Anna Maria Island.
The music video is by Shinedown’s and titled “Second Chance.” It probably is important to note it has taken top honors in various music video countdowns. I will keep my fingers crossed that it will make an MTV award appearance so more folks hear about Anna Maria Island. Anyways, to take a look at it go to VH1 and you will probably recognize the Starfish Company as well as Bean Point and some tough to spot scenes in Holmes Beach by the Pure station. A few
Rockin in Anna Maria
months back I was having a quick bite to eat at Tortilla Bay and noticed buses and a ton of lights over at the Pure station on Marina Drive and Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach, FL. Asked “What is going on over there?” Music video I was told. “Wow!”
View video on VH1. Now we need a movie! By the way it is a nice song and pretty popular if you don’t recognize the title. I think it has just become one of my favorite songs.
