Other rebuilt homes on the island usually require climbing multiple flights of stairs up or taking small elevators.

Florida's best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island (AMI), features beautiful white sugar sand beaches, older Florida charm, award-winning restaurants, and shopping all within easy walking distance or a ride aboard the free "Anna Maria Island Trolley". One of the few places in the world where the sunset is regularly applauded, this tiny slice of paradise stretches for 7 miles into the Gulf. Just across the Cortez bridge on the south side of the island, is the old school Florida fishing village of Cortez, where restaurants have excellent seafood and some have live music.

• AMI properties with beach or gulf views go pitch-black at sunset all night until sunrise because there is zero context to view on the pitch-black Gulf of Mexico. Our home on Sarasota Bay has a fabulous ambiance of soft lights of the Cortez Bridge, Cortez fishing village, and Bradenton and Sarasota in the distance, which is fabulous in the evening! Being on Sarasota Bay is the best ever and is exactly why our family vacations at this home instead of our Beach-view + Gulf-view homes!!

• Our property also allows the sound of soft music wafering across Sarasota Bay from the live singer at the Bridgetender Restaurant and Bar.
