Completely remodeled with a fresh coastal aesthetic, the interior is move-in ready, and designed for immediate enjoyment. Soft tropical hues, wood-look tile flooring, and an open floor plan create a bright, inviting atmosphere, while the updated kitchen showcases stone countertops, custom cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances, and generous workspace.

Offered turnkey furnished, the residence includes a king-size bed, queen sleeper sofa, two flat-screen televisions, and tasteful décor, allowing you to begin enjoying island life from day one.
Outside, a shaded private front patio with a newly installed paver walkway provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening cocktails, while assigned parking is conveniently located just outside your door. Offering added peace of mind, the home has been thoughtfully updated with Hardie® siding, impact-rated windows and doors, and new plumbing and sewer lines.
Tradewinds Beach Resort captures the relaxed character that has made Anna Maria Island one of Florida's most beloved destinations. Pastel-colored cottages draped in jasmine and bougainvillea line a quiet private lane leading to a heated bayside swimming pool, fishing pier, picnic pavilions, charcoal grills, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Across the street, deeded beach access leads to the powdery white sands and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where unforgettable sunsets become part of everyday life. The pet-friendly community also offers on-site laundry facilities and optional rental management services, including housekeeping, beach loungers, umbrellas, and guest services, making ownership effortless.
Perfectly positioned just moments from Historic Bridge Street, you'll enjoy easy access to waterfront restaurants, local boutiques, live entertainment, fishing charters, and island cafés. The free Anna Maria Island Trolley stops nearby, providing convenient transportation to Holmes Beach, Anna Maria, Coquina Beach, and additional island attractions.
