Tucked among swaying palms on Florida’s stunning Anna Maria Island, this home is an ideal getaway for families or friends wanting to while away the hours in the sunshine. Inside, clean lines, neutral tones and lofty vaulted ceilings combine to create a space that’s inviting, bright and breezy.

Cook Floribbean cuisine in the impressive chef’s kitchen and dish up in the dining room or serve outside on the shaded terrace. Once the plates are cleared and another ice-cold beverage is poured, find a spot to work on your tan. Pick out a lounger or float in the shimmering pool.

If you’re keen to explore your quiet neighbourhood, slip on your sandals and take the fifteen-minute stroll to Bayfront Park. Watch the tide gently ebb and flow from the pristine white sands before hiring a kayak and spotting marine life as you glide across the crystal clear waters.

Return home in the late afternoon to watch the sun set over Tampa Bay from your roof terrace. End another idyllic day from the bubbles of the hot tub as the stars begin to appear in an inky sky.
