What makes the best vacation rental on Anna Maria Island?
Location by far is the most important guide to revenue and appreciation. Above average location, amenities and decor on average appreciate an average of 7% for single family homes. Usually the more the bedrooms the more the leverage of return on capital. This is due to the supply of vacation rentals on Anna Maria Island. For single family homes the largest supply are 3 bedroom homes, followed by 4 bedroom. By far the larges supply overall on the island of properties are 2 bedrooms due to the large build out of condominiums in both Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach.

Amenities and an updated decor have a big impact on the revenue that a vacation rental can generate. Of course pool, number of bedrooms and location have the largest impact but coastal interiors typically have a better return on investment. Outdoor living makes a big impact as well, comfortable seating, outdoor kitchens spa, heated pool are all important when considering renting an Anna Maria Island property.
By far the zoning for vacation rentals are the most complex in Holmes Beach. There are several zones that require one month minimum rentals and more specifically those are R1 and R1AA. We strongly suggest working with a realtor in a local office that can recite zones along with rental ramifications of each zone. We have provided a quick check list of general zones in all three cities however it is best again to seek a professional for assistance.
