Florida’s Anna Maria Island is a beautiful tropical island with endless spans of white, sandy beaches. Tourists are attracted to Anna Maria Island because of its laid-back pace of life and because of its excellent golfing and fishing. If you’re in need of a beach getaway, here is a good selection of HomeAway and Vrbo vacation rentals to help you get started:
1. Luxury spa-resort feeling (from USD 557)
Resorts can be so expensive, so how about renting a home that has pretty much the same things? It looks, feels, and has many amenities that a spa resort has. Even better, it’s only a short trip to the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico! The bedrooms are spacious, vibrant, and well-decorated. The bed is comfortably plush and is topped with plenty of soft pillows so you can definitely sleep peacefully. There’s even a sitting area with a TV, so you can watch some TV before heading to bed. The living room is brightly lit, very colourful, and filled with loads of fun things to do. From the Playstation to the old-fashioned board games, everyone will have something to do. An extremely good perk of renting this home is the sauna! It truly is a great modern luxury! It’s perfect for anyone who wants a blissful spa experience and to just sweat it out and relax. The hosts have put a lot of thought into decorating the outdoor space, and it truly looks and feels like a luxury spa resort. The swimming pool is large and surrounded by palm trees and lounge chairs. There’s even a Tiki hut to truly immerse you in the spa vibe.

2. Once in a lifetime lighthouse living
Lighthouses are magnificent structures, so how about living in a replica? This rental is well designed and only a short walk from Gulf Beach. What’s not to love? Receive a warm welcome to the home via Neptune, the God of the Sea. This home is truly an architectural marvel and it really does look like a lighthouse! The bedrooms are decorated with a maritime theme, with the appropriate red, blue, and white furniture and wall decorations like water skis. The beds are also plush and comfortable, so immerse yourself in the beach vibe. There’s a small backyard deck with a small pool and a grill. The pool is perfect for small kids to waddle in and the grill is perfect for cooking warm meals for the family. Views of the clear, cerulean blue sky and sea await you on the top deck, so head on up to experience it for yourself!
