WHAT'S IS HAPPENING TO THE ANNA MARIA ISLAND BEACH RESORT?
Thank you for your interest in the Anna Maria
Island Beach Resort, one of the island's most successful lodging
establishments
The first and best reason a RESORT CONDOMINIUM is
an attractive opportunity is the low cost of ownership of a second
home or vacation home. Professional resort management with effective
marketing keeps the occupancy at a very high level when owners are not
using their suite. Professional customer services allow for higher
rental rates and satisfied guests tend to return often and 'spread the
word,' which compounds the occupancy. Each day the suite generates
income lowers the overall expense.
During periods of private use, owners enjoy
services not available in a traditional second home, where too much of
your time in paradise is spent maintaining the property.
RESORT CONDOMINIUMS for the small investor not
interested in personal use time will find the category among the best
on the island in terms of the ratio of purchase price and gross income
potential. The revenue generated from these cozy suites are truly
amazing compared to other properties on the island. The financial
report for the first half of 2006 show an average occupancy rate of
over 90%! As an example, the gross revenue generated by the model
suite (#2) exceeds 10% of the purchase price of the suite! Once all
the renovations are complete the return on investment can only get
better.
WHO SHOULD PURCHASE A RESORT CONDOMINIUM?
1. Anyone who lives within a reasonable driving
time to Anna Maria Island would be able to enjoy the resort suites on
a whim or extended vacation time. Having significant income makes
ownership of beach property possible for those with moderate means.
The most consistent and highest occupancy is in the winter, spring and
summer. Personal use during these periods would cut into the income
but that would be taken into consideration by the buyer. The fourth
quarter of the year is traditionally a slow time in terms of scheduled
vacationers. However, this period is the best of the year for moderate
temperatures, short lines at restaurants, few traffic problems and
nearly deserted beaches.
2. Purchasing a RESORT CONDOMINIUM as a group is
also a great opportunity. Family members and/or friends could pool
their resources and split the personal use time. The periods the suite
is rented would help everyone to be able to afford a beach getaway.
3. Snowbirds looking for a winter home can enjoy
island living and rental income as well. Some may even decide not to
rent at all. The security of nearby professional management is very
attractive, especially for older retirees.
4. Large corporations or business owners have
found owning a beach property is a great way to give a special perk or
gift to a star employee or client. Also, contributing unused use
periods to charitable organizations for fundraisers has attractive tax
incentives. Again, periods the suites are rented reduces the cost of
ownership.
5. Small investors who want to hold on to a
RESORT CONDOMINIUM for a few years would find the low to no carrying
costs very appealing. There will always be a market for beach property
so selling the investment down the road would yield a significant
profit.
Island Vacation Properties is currently marketing
several resort properties offering private suite ownership. Please

You probably have two primary questions in mind.
First you may wonder if the Anna Maria Island Beach Resort will
continue to be the glorious vacation destination it is now. The answer
is a resounding YES! It is true that eventually all suites at the
resort will be privately owned but it will continue to be operated as
it always has been. There will be no change in the outward appearance
of the property. Vacationers will find the accommodations to be as
attractive as ever. If you are considering a stay at the Anna Maria
Island Beach Resort, you will definitely not be disappointed.
Your second question is wondering if owning a
suite at this charming resort is right for you. Ask yourself if having
your own getaway on Anna Maria Island appeals to you. Imagine what it
would be like to own a home away from home on this paradise island.
You could spend a weekend now and then or spend the winter each year.
While you are here you can spend time relaxing rather than repairing.
We do all that for you. What makes the most sense about this
opportunity is that the cost of ownership is surprisingly low. When
you are not enjoying your "place at the beach," professional
management service is maximizing the rental income while maintaining
the property at the highest level possible.
A new question has probably just come to mind:
What are these suites selling for? First, the market has changed in
the last year. It is now a buyer's market there are many island
properties for sale. Smart buyers are waiting for the best
bargains…real bargains!
What makes the Anna Maria Island Beach Resort a
bargain? Read on!
No hassle second home…low cost of ownership…many
flexible financing options. There has never been a better time to make
your move!
The legal form of ownership is a resort
condominium. It is the same as a condo hotel which is the now the most
popular category of real estate purchases other than primary
residences.
What is a RESORT CONDOMINIUM?
The concept is not new but it is rising to the
top category in a cooling real estate market. Basically, a RESORT
CONDOMINIUM is a privately-owned vacation suite within an established
resort. The outward appearance of the RESORT CONDOMINIUM to
vacationing guests is no different than a traditional resort owned by
a single entity. The professional management is on-site providing
guests and suite owners an environment of comfort and quality service
to make their vacation or personal use time memorable.
What are the advantages of owning a RESORT
CONDOMINIUM?
Traditional vacation homes are great if the owner
has the financial capability to carry the investment. Some have chosen
to rent their vacation home while they are not using the property but
the occupancy is usually at a level where the costs relating to
renting and higher maintenance expenses rarely make a significant
impact on reducing the cost of ownership.
RESORT CONDOMINIUMS, on the other hand, are
usually in the best locations. The Anna Maria Island Beach Resort is
located directly on the Gulf of Mexico on beautiful Anna Maria Island,
Florida. The central location means there is little need for a car
after you arrive. If the endless sugar-sand beach, lush landscaping
around the large heated swimming pool and gazebos are not enough to
satisfy you, stroll to the fishing pier, patronize several classic
restaurants, browse many fascinating shops or hop the island trolley
and take in everything this paradise island has to offer.
This sleepy barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico
has everything going for it. Seven miles of sugar sand beach against
the warm azure Gulf waters is only one of the reasons vacationers come
again and again. Many of them retire here for the same reasons.
The first and best reason a RESORT CONDOMINIUM is
an attractive opportunity is the low cost of ownership of a second
home or vacation home. Professional resort management with effective
marketing keeps the occupancy at a very high level when owners are not
using their suite. Professional customer services allow for higher
rental rates and satisfied guests tend to return often and 'spread the
word,' which compounds the occupancy. Each day the suite generates
income lowers the overall expense.
During periods of private use, owners enjoy
services not available in a traditional second home, where too much of
your time in paradise is spent maintaining the property.
