Tradewinds Resort:
Condo-cottage with Old Florida charm.....
Welcome to paradise.....This cottage is within a small resort, just 
steps from a beautiful private gulf beach.  Drive into the 
Tradewinds Resort, and you will find quaint, pastel colored cottages 
on both sides of you hidden behind lush tropical foliage.  This is a 
spotless and wonderfully located hideaway resort that has won top 
awards for "Superior Small Lodging and Hotels"
If you want clean and quiet, you've come to the right place...

is on the bay by the fishing dock...and the beach is right across Gulf Drive.

CONTACT ME!!.... I help other owners to get reservations and there 
may be availability!  All units are the same and same price!!!

The island is 7 miles long, located just south of the Tampa Bay area 
and just north of Longboat Key.....on the Gulf of Mexico.  Beautiful 
white sugar sand beaches...........and sunsets that will take your 
breath away.  

Here are a couple of comments we've received from people that have 
stayed at our Tradewinds:

Our very first customer wrote:  "I just wanted to let you know that 
we had a great time at your cottage.  Our only regret was that we 
didn't plan to stay there longer.  Anna Maria Island is peaceful and 
beautiful, it is one of Florida's best kept secrets.  We are hoping 
to go back next year and take advantage of some of the things we 
didn't have time for. Niki"

April 2007.....We had a fabulous time!  Your place was perfect!  
It was so nice to be able to walk somewhere nice for dinner, 
then take your shoes off and walk home on the beach!  
For most of the two weeks we were there, there was "no vacancy" - 
but we never had a problem with noise, parking or getting a spot by 
the pool.  We have memories of Anna Maria Island that will last a 
life time!  Julie


Sept. 2007 - Hi Linda, our stay at your place was WONDERFUL from the 
minute we opened the door.  I was very pleased with the 
spaciousness, the air conditioning (so comfortable) with the paddle 
fans, etc.  It was immaculate and there was no lack of supplies.  
We enjoyed the dock for coffee in the AM and also evening, with all 
the fish activity.  We would recommend your place to anyone who 
asks.  I came home with a beautiful suntan, and some rest which was 
so needed. -  Mary

Dec. 2007  
Thank you for sharing your vacation rental, Tradewinds #10, with my husband and me last week.  We 
had the 
most amazing time on Anna Maria!   The rental's location is perfect, as we watched sunrises from the 
dock on 
the bay and sunsets on the Gulf!  We spotted dolphins a couple times on the bay side, that was 
really neat!  
The accommodations were so thoughtfully appointed; everything we needed was right there (even things 
like a 
hair dryer and wine corkscrew!).  The beach was terrific and on the cooler day, we used the pool 
since it was 
heated.  You were right about the restaurants on AMI, everything was fabulous and very close to the 
resort.  
We had a blast, returned to Indiana tanned and rested, and plan to return next year!  Jillian
