Anna Maria Island Vacation Rentals versus Hotels – Part I

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

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!

Time 2 buy on Anna Maria Island – More Reasons

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

It seems at least on Anna Maria Island, Florida activity has picked up in the last two weeks. The transaction volume the Island Real Estate professional sales staff has been generating seems like a flashback to the 2005 real estate days. This is no joke. With the exception of two days, the first 10 days of April a real estate professional with Island Real Estate of Anna Maria, Inc has put a property under contract. Yes, that is right. Almost every day in the month of April a sales professional with JUST Island Real Estate has been involved with a property going under contract. Granted the property has not closed but the amount of buyers on the island has increased to 2005 levels for the past few weeks.

Most other full time sales professionals on Anna Maria say the same thing. Busy, busy, busy…so, what are you waiting for? If you are on the sidelines, waiting for the bottom you may have already missed it. Interest rates are at all time lows, banks are approving financing, and sellers are more aware of market pricing.

Come visit Island Real Estate where our sales staff can find your “peace” of paradise. If you are looking for a property that will generate rental income production give me a call and I can help. I live and work on Anna Maria Island and am ready to help.

As usual I have included a great buy below…

Pine Avenue Restoration

If you are looking for retail space that provides great walk in traffic, Pine Avenue Restoration project is a must visit. Swing by Island Real Estate’s second office on 401 Pine Avenue where you can walk over to the newly constructed space as well as view future renderings of the Pine Avenue project.

Did I mention you can live and work in paradise? That’s right, an option to purchase the entire building is available. The project boasts two floors, retail space on the ground level and residential space above. The first two buildings offer 2500 sq feet of Retail and 2000 square feet of residential space. However, retail space can be built to suit. So, live above your boutique shop with a rear entrance and pool. Walk to work everyday and enjoy the amenities Anna Maria City Village has to offer.
