Choosing the right hotel or resort can be the most difficult decision to make when planning your Anna Maria Island beach getaway. There are no chain hotels or resorts allowed on the island. However, there are dozens of excellent privately owned and operated hoteliers. They range from only a few units to more than 50.

To begin your search for the property that best fits you, here are brief descriptions of seven popular Anna Maria Island accommodations:

    1 Tortuga Inn/Tradwinds: The Tortuga Inn is as close as Anna Maria Island gets to a luxury resort. Tortuga has more than 50 units, and its sister property Tradwinds has another 35 right next door on Gulf Dr. in Bradenton Beach. Tortuga has a large pool and it's pet friendly. If you're looking for a larger resort, Tortuga Inn is a good place to start.

    2 Bridgewalk Inn/Silver Surf: Bridgewalk and Silver Surf are also located in Bradenton Beach. Bridgewalk sits above many of the fine shops and restaurants on Historic Bridge Street with 28 apartment-style units. Silver Surf is just a few blocks north on Gulf Dr. It has 50 units, and frequently offers rates under $100 per night.

    3 Anna Maria Beach Cottages: For a more quiet & quaint experience, try Anna Maria Beach Cottages. It offers 11 renovated houses and apartments with a very natural beach decor and a surprisingly large pool. AMBC is located just off the ocean on a quiet street (112 Oak Ave.).

    4 Bali Hai: One of the great accommodation values on Anna Maria Island can be found at Bali Hai at 6900 Gulf Dr. in Holmes Beach. Bali Hai has more than 40 apartment- and cottage-style units, many of which have great ocean views.

    5 Spinnakers' Cottages: On the smallest end of the spectrum is Spinnakers' Cottages. Spinnakers', located at 202 56th St in Holmes Beach, has just three home-style cottages. However, Spinnakers' is pet friendly and one of the very well maintained rentals properties on the island.

    6 Rod & Reel Motel: One of the northern most properties on the island is the Rod & Reel Motel. You can't help but feel like you've left the world far behind along the quiet stretch of North Shore Dr. Rod & Reel has 11 units with stellar views of Tampa Bay. However, it does not have a pool.

    7 Beach Bungalow: Near the geographical center of the island is Beach Bungalow and its 15 luxurious rentals. Many of Beach Bunglow's units are toes-in-the-sand oceanfront. However, you can expect great ocean views to come with higher price tags.
