The Cat’s Meow on Anna Maria Island is the purr-fect vacation destination. Enjoy the relaxed old-Florida charm of the Cat’s Meow and Anna Maria Island with comfortable, easy living. It's just like a home away from home, literally steps away from the white sands and blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We have unlimited free local telephone calls and access to our wireless internet. A hair dryer, iron, and ironing board are all in-room items. We have on-site laundry facilities, beach towels, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas for your convenience. There are a variety of books and board games from which to choose. You can cook outside on one of the bbq grills and may want to eat in the garden courtyard.
Take our bicycles or the free island trolley to explore the Island. We're conveniently located, close to island shopping, restaurants, and water activities. Many tourist attractions are only a short drive away (i.e., Busch Gardens-60 miles; Universal Studios-115 miles; Disney World-125 miles). We are only 53 miles from Tampa International Airport (TPA) and 15 miles from Sarasota/Bradenton Airport (SRQ).
We love pets! No need to board them or leave them at home. Bring them along to share your vacation! ME-YOW!
