Perfect Family Vacation!
Twelve days of sun, sand, naps and cocktails...what more could you ask for? We loved Anna Maria Island and will be back for more as soon as we possibly can. The condo was perfect. The owners were fantastic to work with and were so accomadating. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, to answer questions and to make sure we had an absolutely wonderful time. The condo is very comfortable, very clean, fully stocked for all your needs, just PERFECT for a family vacation. They have thought of all of the little things that it takes to make you feel like you are at home.
Bradenton Beach Club is a beautiful place to stay. The property is well taken care of. The beach was just a short walk across the street and you didn't have to carry very much, as their locker with beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys (all wonderfully provided by the owners) is right by the beach! The pool and hot tub (right next to the condo) as well as the pool in front of the beach were great. The beach has beautiful white sand and the waves most of the time were not very high, allowing our 2 year old twins to play in the ocean. There is a sandbar about 75 feet out from the beach that the girls loved.
We ate at a few of the local eateries while we were there and would like to share a few. Gulf Drive Cafe served a wonderful breakfast, which we enjoyed on their patio looking out onto the beach/ocean. The Star Fish Company and Fish Market had great food for lunch, but please note, it is a locals place that you order at the counter and eat at a picnic table on the dock. We also ate at the Rod & Reel Pier, where we were advised to order off the board not the menu, and we were not dissappointed. Finally, we really enjoyed pizza from the Village Idiot, some of the best we have ever had. This was a perfect place to take our first family vacation with our 2 year old twins. They are still talking about their "vacation home" and the fun they had on the beach. Thanks Susan & Lynn for sharing your vacation home with us!
