Anna Maria Island Beach Rentals

Its a couple of weeks before you leave for your vacation on Anna Maria Island and you're trying to figure out what to bring. Everyone draws a different conclusion on what to bring to the beach and what to rent ahead of time or once you arrive. You may want to bring that favorite mask that is light enough and small enough to fit in the suitcase, but do you really want to bring a set of bocce balls that weigh a ton. I doubt you'll find many people wanting to lug a paddleboard to the airport and pay the extra baggage fees and although boogie boards are fairly light, they sure are bulky.

Realizing this, there are several beach equipment rental companies on Anna Maria who will be happy to deliver everything you need to your hotel, vacation home or condo before you arrive and pick it all up again when you're done. You don't need to pack anything but your bikini, swimsuit and a few other necessities. Soak up the sun and enjoy your time at the beach and leave the beach chairs, canopies, umbrellas, kayaks, paddleboards and all the other beach equipment to the experts and leave the hassle behind.

Have you ever been paddle boarding before? No problem. You can rent a paddle board from one of the beach equipment rental companies and I'll bet that one of the friendly drivers will give you some quick pointers. It's really quite easy and the experienced customer service staff will advise you where to go on Anna Maria to see the most for your experience level.

If snorkeling is more your speed, you can definitely rent a set and head out to the beach all week long. It really is a lot of fun and is also one of the least expensive activities to do on our beautiful island. You may even come face to face with one of the friendly manatees.

Its always a good idea to check ahead of time to see what your vacation home has in the way of beach supplies. Keep in mind that even though some may say they have them, with such a high turnover of guests, its never a guarantee that they'll be there or that they will be in good condition. I'm sure you don't want to bring a beach umbrella, beach chairs or a cooler all the way to Anna Maria when you can rent them for a few bucks a day. To ensure that you get everything you need and want to make your vacation the best, be sure to call one of the beach equipment rental companies in advance to place your reservation . Most things are rented by the week at very affordable rates, but kayaks and paddleboards can be rented by the day or even half day if that works with your schedule.

How do you plan to get everything to the beach especially when you have small children in toe? Solution - Rent one of the big wagons. There is room for everything and even those small children of yours will enjoy the ride after a long day at the beach.

Have a wonderful and safe vacation!
