Tradewinds Resort is a classic Florida-style complex perfectly situated between Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on Anna Maria Island. Casual. Comfortable. Charming. These are but three words to describe Tradewinds Resort, a Gulf-to-Bay private resort. We could use other words, but all of them add up to say: Welcome to your intimate Old Florida - style beach getaway.

Our private street, lined with tropical plants and pastel cottages, all vacation-read and just steps from the Gulf, will remind you of Key West - but without the crowds. Simply put, the village of Tradewinds Resort offers a mix of relaxing coziness and laid-back atmosphere unmatched by any other local resort. The 34 one-bedroom, one-bathroom units and the two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit have recently been refurbished and restored to provide relaxed comfort and stylish island living. Each room is designer-decorated using ResortQuest's quality standards for a gold-rated property. With private beach access at nearby Tortuga Inn Beach Resort, and a bay front swimming pool, you can curl up on a chair with your favorite book and enjoy the serene surroundings. The dock overlooking Sarasota Bay is a great spot to catch glimpse of manatees swimming or dolphins heading out to the Gulf.

Boat slips are available for rent at neighboring Tortuga Inn Beach Resort.

Select units will allow a small pet under 35 lbs. Please call for details and reservations.
