VIA ROMA BEACH RESORT Bradenton Beach, FL

With its white stucco buildings, Ionic columns and statues, Via Roma Beach Resort brings a touch of the Mediterranean to Florida's Gulf Coast, where the vibe is laid-back and relaxed. Picturesque palm trees, sea oats and hibiscus trees lend a tropical flavor to this island hideaway. Spend a tranquil beachfront getaway in a comfortable 1-or 2-bedroom suite filled with all the comforts of home, including full kitchens and baths, master bedrooms, separate living and dining areas and more. Suites accommodate from 4 to 6 guests comfortably.

Enjoy a tranquil morning stroll on the beach and collect the surf’s overnight deposit of beautiful shells. Get the family together for a leisurely game of shuffleboard or hop on a bike and tour beautiful Anna Maria Island. Refresh yourself with a swim in the beachfront pool, or soak in the relaxing hot tub.

At the end of the day, kick back in lounge-chair comfort by the pool and absorb the spectacular sunset. Then, instead of going out for dinner, why not grill up that catch-of-the-day from your afternoon fishing adventure?
