Bean Point

At the island’s most northern point, you’ll find the community of Anna Maria. Bean Point Beach is Anna Maria’s most peaceful beach locale, known for its stunning sunsets and picturesque views of Tampa Bay and the state park and national wildlife refuge, Egmont Key. You can also enjoy Bayfront Park, which is just around the corner (and walkable) from Bean Point Beach on the island’s bayside.

Holmes Beach

Holmes Beach sits in the center of Anna Maria Island and offers three miles of sandy beaches. The most popular option is Manatee Public Beach, which provides plenty of room for relaxation, playing volleyball, or walking along the shoreline. Manatee Public Beach also has picnic tables and grills, and restrooms and showers, ideal for a family get-together or a full beach day.

Bradenton Beach

Bradenton Beach is the southern community of Anna Maria Island, and is home to the lovely Coquina Beach and Cortez Beach. Perfect for swimming, Coquina Beach sits at the lower edge of the island, right before Longboat Pass Bridge. A little further up you’ll find Cortez Beach, which offers a quiet, family-oriented environment. Every beach offers awe-inspiring views of the sunset.

Manatee River

No shock here–the Manatee River provides opportunities to watch manatees as they feast on river fare and swim in their natural habitat. Boat tours take you to manatee hot spots or maybe grab the kayak or canoe and share the waters. Bass, catfish, and bluegill share these waters, so pack your poles and rods. Keep your activities on land when you explore the river’s  DeSoto Memorial Trail.

Anna Maria Island

Discover Anna Maria Island’s history, wildlife, and South Florida delights. The Anna Maria Island Historical Museum offers a glimpse of Florida’s history, and check out the Anna Maria City Jail at Pine Avenue, which dates back to 1927. The island is also known for the large population of bottlenose dolphins that frequent its waters. You can also take a walk along the Coquina Baywalk, a one-mile stretch where you can get a close-up view of Florida’s native plants and animals.

Bradenton Riverwalk

The heart of Bradenton! Stroll the more than one mile stretch and get to know Brandeton. Saturdays from October to May, wander through the Bradenton Market and delight in fresh Florida produce and hand-crafted goods. Summer visitors can enjoy the Summer Mini-Market on second Saturday mornings from June until August. Check out concerts, seasonal events, or just enjoy strolling along the river. Savor South Florida cuisine (and yes, the abundant seafood) at one of the area’s eateries. 

History, Science, and Culture

Explore Florida’s ecosystems at the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature where science fans can see conservation at the Parker Manatee Rehabilitation habitat. Check out rotating exhibitions as well as the planetarium to take you to the stars. Come back down to Earth and roll back time with a visit to the Manatee Village Historical Park. Just off of Old Main Street, this immersive historical experience ensconces you in  Old Florida. Restored buildings dating back from 1860 include a court, schoolhouse, general store, and even a blacksmith forge. Wander through the village and imagine life more than a century ago. 

Watersports

Water sports are the name of the game Bradenton. Nearby Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, and Anna Maria Island play host to crystal clear waters perfect for swimming, playing, or just relaxing. Grab a kayak and check out the mangrove trees that grow directly out of the water. The calm seas are also a perfect place for paddleboarding. If you don’t have your own equipment, you can purchase or rent from a number of local businesses.

Fishing

Whether you’re an avid fisherman or a first-timer, you’re guaranteed to have a great day on the water. Fishing along the Manatee River gives ample chances for scoring bass, bluegill, and catfish hauls. Head to the ocean and check out the Rod and Reel Pier, the City Pier, or the Bradenton Beach Pier. All three places allow you to rent rods and purchase bait at low prices. For a more guided experience, you can also book a chartered fishing trip on a boat with all equipment included in the cost.

Play Ball!

South Florida offers baseball teams and fans a respite from winter’s grip when teams set up camp for Spring Training. The Pittsburgh Pirates set up their Florida can Bradenton’s LECOM Park. If you’re in town during Spring Training, check out the Pirates battle other MLB teams. Fun fact–LECOM Park is the country’s oldest continuously operating spring training facility.

Shopping

Get a taste of Bradenton’s past when you shop, sip, and stroll your way through Bradenton’s Old Main Street. Art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants line this stunning stretch–a feast for all the senses.

Bradenton Frequently Asked Questions

SkyRun provides photos, maps, amenity details and reviews about the property you will be renting. Our staff has first-hand knowledge of each property, so don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions.

We provide everything you expect from a fine hotel, and then some. Our rentals come fully furnished, including TVs, high-speed internet, linens and towels, a microwave, dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen essentials.  We provide supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, tissues, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, etc. Refer to individual listings to see more amenity information, and please contact us directly if you still have questions.

When you book directly with SkyRun you avoid paying service fees you might incur with traditional listing channels, such as Airbnb. Our prices are competitive with rent-from-owner rates, but we offer professional service, optional travel insurance, and immediate on-site assistance should the need arise.  In addition, we offer exclusive discounts from local businesses, available only to SkyRun guests.

Travel insurance is an optional addition to your total rental charges. It is offered on our reservation form at the time of booking. It is also usually offered at the time of booking when you book with a 3rd party booking site. You may also add travel insurance to your reservation within 48 hours of booking. The cost of travel insurance varies and is usually between 7%-9.5% of your total reservation cost, depending on the coverage type.  If you do not have travel insurance, you cannot cancel your reservation for any reason.  If you have travel insurance and need to cancel or make a claim, refer to your specific policy.

You can rent any of our properties by booking directly on this website using a credit card or you can call to book a reservation if you would like to speak with a vacation planner.  When you book, 1/3 of your total reservation cost, or a minimum of $300, is charged as a non-refundable deposit to secure your rental. Thirty days before your arrival, the remaining amount is due. At this time, the credit card we have on file will be automatically charged for the balance. You may cancel for a full, no-questions-asked refund up to 14 days before your arrival. After that, your payment becomes non-refundable. (See travel insurance above for exceptions).

For most properties, SkyRun utilizes a convenient keypad lock system which allows you to enter your vacation rental using a personalized access code, as opposed to having to pick up a key and worrying about keeping track of it during your stay and returning it afterwards. This also saves you the trouble of coming to a check-in center beforehand. Your welcome packet will be in your rental upon arrival, and our staff is always only a phone call away if questions arise.

Remember you are staying as a guest in someone's home, where much investment has been made to make your stay enjoyable; please treat all private property with the respect it deserves.
  • No smoking and no pets (unless specifically designated as pet-friendly).
  • No parties that exceed the number of people the property sleeps are allowed in the rental at any time.
  • Renters are subject to citations for noise violations, etc., handed down by public officials.
