Florida Travel and Life falls in love with Anna Maria Island

I have a new love in my life, and its name is Anna Maria Island. For those who can fondly remember the Keys as it was 30 years ago, this barrier isle near Sarasota is for you. Laid back, full of families and nary a chain restaurant or shop in sight, it's just 7 miles long and barely 1 mile wide, which makes it perfect for cycling.

Anna Maria Island is a place to fall in love with easily. The island boasts seven miles of coast line with exquisite sugar-white sand, average daily temperature of 26 degrees and 361 days of sunshine per year. So, it is not surprising that an Anna Maria vacation is an ideal place to relax, recharge the batteries and leave the routine busy daily life behind. Anna Maria is part of Florida’s Gulf Coast. The island consists of three town communities, has only 8000 inhabitants and offers many activities, such as diving, biking, sailing or fishing.

Pineapplefish offers great Anna Maria island vacation rentals. Over 18 months, six spectacular properties were developed and finished to the highest standards. Each vacation rental is uniqueand have fantastic, often waterfront locations with magnificent views. They are all equipped with the latest high tech equipment and decorated throughout with spectacular artwork from local artists. All six Anna Maria Villas are luxurious and located in the most beautiful settings to ensure that you will have a wonderful holiday experience. Each luxury home offers something a little bit different from secluded beaches to landscaped gardens or a private swimming pool.

Mike and I, have always been very passionate about the sustainability of our food, our homes and the environment. Through our Pineapplefish villas and other Anna Maria programmes, such as The Pine Avenue Restoration Project, we intend to bring environmentally friendly initiatives to the island, such as solar heating for our swimming pools, to energy efficient building materials in the commercial buildings we are developing on Pine Avenue. For more information visit our news section.

Pine Avenue Restoration is an idea born out of a desire to preserve the original vision for a Pine Avenue promenade and to protect the critical and extremely limited ‘historic boutique business district’ of Anna Maria. Mike and I and 2 other investors Mike Coleman and Ed Chiles are developing the Pine Avenue properties with historically compatible structures housing first floor boutique retail shops and one residential floor on top. The look will take inspiration from the historic cottages that are currently interspersed on the street and existing historic buildings will be renovated where possible. Our vision is to re-create the Pine Avenue promenade and preserve a little of Old Florida for future generations to enjoy. Visit our news sections for more and updates on the project.
