About the host
Hosted by Jeffery Hill
Welcome! I'm Jeffery Hill, and I'm thrilled to be your host. With 25 years in the vacation rental business, I've had the pleasure of welcoming guests to properties in some incredible locations, from the vibrant streets of Seattle and Las Vegas to the sunny shores of Fort Lauderdale and Anna Maria Island, and the charming towns of Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita.
As I approach retirement, I'm focusing my passion on a select few properties in beautiful Puerto Vallarta and Anna Maria Island (right on Bradenton Beach!). My goal is to make sure each of my homes feels like your home away from home. I take immense pride in equipping every property with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and memorable stay. Plus, my dedicated housekeepers and staff work tirelessly to ensure your visit is truly enjoyable. We can't wait to host you!

Why they chose this property
Anna Maria Island, Florida, captivates with an "Old Florida" charm that feels wonderfully untouched by overdevelopment. This seven-mile barrier island boasts sugar-white sands that meet calm, turquoise Gulf waters, creating a serene paradise. Unlike many Florida destinations, you won't find high-rise condos or bustling chain restaurants here. Instead, pastel-colored historic cottages and quaint streets evoke a timeless sense of nostalgia.
The island prioritizes a relaxed pace of life. Days are spent strolling along pristine beaches like Bean Point or Coquina Beach, collecting shells, or simply soaking up the sun. The absence of heavy commercialization allows nature to take center stage, offering glimpses of playful dolphins, nesting sea turtles, and a diverse array of birdlife.
Beyond its natural beauty, Anna Maria's charm lies in its tight-knit community and small-town feel. Locals greet you with genuine smiles, and the island's unique boutiques and family-owned eateries offer a personalized touch. Pine Avenue, the island's "greenest main street," is a delightful blend of eco-consciousness and local history, with charming shops and the Anna Maria Island Historical Society. Whether exploring by bike, golf cart, or the free island trolley, Anna Maria Island invites visitors to unwind, reconnect with nature, and experience a slice of authentic, laid-back Florida.
No visit to Anna Maria Island is complete without indulging in its diverse culinary scene, which perfectly complements the island's laid-back vibe. For a truly unique, outdoor dining experience, Ugly Grouper is a must-visit. This expansive, entirely open-air establishment is known for its lively atmosphere, often featuring live music and yard games, making it a hit with families.
For a taste of Tex-Mex with stunning Gulf views, Wicked Cantina in Bradenton Beach delivers. This hip spot specializes in homemade Austin-style Tex-Mex fare, from perfectly crafted tacos and enchiladas to hearty American dishes.
