Local Area......

For the shopaholics among you Ellenton Prime Outlets shopping mall is just five minutes drive from our villa. This superb collection of quality outlet stores includes Guess, Calvin Klein and DKNY to name just a few.

Boat Hire is available from many places in the area and is great fun for all. Sail out onto the Intercoastal waterway for the day and indulge in a spot of fishing and you may be lucky enough to meet the resident dolphins and manatees! We found a good quality hire store around 20 minutes drive from the villa at Siesta Key.

Anna Maria Island is well worth a visit with stunning white sand beaches and clear emerald ocean views. There is so much to do here, plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. We can recommend spending some time on the beach and enjoying the spectacular sunset before enjoying a cocktail at one of the many beachfront bars.

No family trip to the sunshine state would be complete without a trip to Busch Gardens near Tampa or to Orlando and its awesome theme parks, only 90 minutes drive from our villa.
