For
beach lovers Bradenton and the gulf islands of
Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key and Siesta key
provide some of the most dazzling, white sandy
stretches of coastline in the whole of North
America. This area of Florida is regularly voted
as one of the top 20 beaches in the whole of the
USA. The beaches are very family friendly, there
are various public beach areas all with ample
parking, restaurants and rest rooms.
The
Sarasota area stands up well as a second centre
after time spent in Orlando or as a single
location for a relaxing Florida beach holiday.
Known as 'Florida's Cultural Coast' Sarasota
offers world class art and entertainment the whole
family will enjoy. The city was once the home of
John Ringling and his world famous Ringling
Brothers Circus. Today the circus magnate's legacy
is on display at the Ringling Museum of Art in a
palatial estate boasting an art museum, circus
museum, theatre and mansion.
As
well as the beaches, holiday makers will also be
attracted by the area's many shopping malls, wide
range of restaurants and a huge selection of golf
courses. Rental properties here are more expensive
than further north in New Port Richey but we feel
the area is more likely to suit the needs and
expectations of UK guests heading out to the
Florida coast. Basically this is a great all round
destination with something for all the family. All
ages will enjoy exploring the various islands and
their beaches. Dining options range from small
beachfront restaurants and major nationwide
chains. Shopping is also a major Florida
attraction, choose from a number of major malls or
wander through the galleries and specialist stores
of St Armands Cricle.
Rental
property standards in this area are high, you can
expect similar standards to the executive villas
we sell in Orlando. The homes are a few years
younger than those in New Port Richey,
furnishings, decor and appliances are very modern
and in general the vast majority of villas should
more than match your expectations.
All
our mainland villas are located in Bradenton, the
main residential area surrounding Sarasota and are
a 15-20 minute drive from the beach. |
