AMI offers a variety of rental homes across the island, along with several hotel options. We suggest staying in Anna Maria, Bradenton Beach, or Holmes Beach. If you choose accommodations in Bradenton, keep in mind that traffic onto and off the island can be heavy over Memorial Day weekend. For those flying in, Tampa and Sarasota are the closest airports. It’s best to arrange an airport pickup or rent a car. Golf carts are a popular way to get around the island, though regular cars are perfectly fine to use as well. TIP: We found that many rentals were cheaper on rental sites as opposed to AirBnb. If you find a house on AirBnb: 1. Take note of the rental name 2. Google the rental name to determine what rental management site it is on 3. Review/compare on rental management site with AirBnb 4. Book the lower dollar option
