Guest Hook Travel Guides Anna Maria Island Families | Page 2

THOUGHTS FROM THE EDITOR EVERY PARENT'S DREAM... As a husband and father of 2 kids I know the value of finding a vacation rental that has a pool, quick access to the beach, and the space for my wife and I to enjoy some quiet time after a day with the kids (who I strongly suspect feel the same way!). That's exactly what you get from the 4 and 5 bedroom homes owned by Nancy McAleer, our Anna Maria Island insider for those with families. In fact they make the perfect base for 2 families traveling together, or those attending a reunion or family wedding. But Nancy is more than "just" the owner of these places. She is also passionate about Anna Maria Island, and can point you in the direction of the best spots for just about any family activity. Whether you want to see manatees or dolphins, snorkel the crystal clear waters, get the kids in a surf school, or treat your family to local, fresh seafood, how valuable is it to know that Nancy has done all these things many times and can save you the hassle of researching? As well as natural beauty, Anna Maria Island also has a fantastic location. It's just under an hour from Tampa, making it an easy journey if you've flown in with the kids (I know the value of that). And, within a 2 hour drive, is Orlando if you promised the kids a little bit of magic. Nancy's places are clearly wonderful homes so they book up fast. If you do find she's booked, Nancy has suggested the Mainsail Beach Inn. If that doesn't work feel free to drop us a line. Have a great vacation! E: [email protected] W: www.vacationinsiders.com
