Bungalow Beach Resort - Anna Maria Island, Florida

Bungalow Beach Resort is In The News!

May 16, 2001 - LUXURY YACHT IS LATEST ACCOMMODATION AT BUNGALOW BEACH

ANNA MARIA ISLAND -- Bungalow Beach Resort is pleased to announce the addition of its new "floating bungalow" -- a 59' Bluewater yacht known as the "Bungalow Babe."

This luxurious vessel is the latest rooming option now available at Anna Maria Island's premier waterfront resort. Owners Bert and Gayle Luper are thrilled with the response "Bungalow Babe" has generated from guests.

"We wanted to offer something a little bit different from the traditional hotel room, and this just seemed the perfect solution. And people really love it," said Gayle. "Our guests can't wait to tell their friends back home that they stayed on a 59' Custom Motor yacht during their vacation in Florida. We are getting a ton of phone calls, and our website has had several inquires every day since we listed the yacht two weeks ago."

For anyone who has ever dreamed of sailing the world on a first-class cruiser, this may be a perfect fantasy escape. Although the yacht does not leave its dock at Bradenton Beach Marina, guests may enjoy full access to its fabulous quarters. A master stateroom with king bed, and a VIP stateroom allow plenty of room for up to four adults. A flybridge with wet bar, icemaker and BBQ and a huge 10'x30' deck provide the perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying the sun. Other amenities include two full bathrooms with bathtubs, a full galley and salon, three televisions with VCRs, a stereo system, dinette, and three separate air conditioners. Two bicycles are available to ride on the island. Parasailing and jet ski rental are available on site, and guests may enjoy access to the Bungalow Beach Resort's swimming pool and private beach.

The award-winning Bungalow Beach Resort was originally built in the 1930s and, through careful maintenance, retains the classic charm of that bygone era. A wide range of accommodations provides ample space for any group or family. Choose from a quaint poolside studio, courtyard one- and two- or three-bedroom bungalows, a deluxe gulf-front studio or the spacious Island House with its own private pool. All bungalows include a private deck or screened porch and are tastefully appointed with floral and wicker accents to compliment the island atmosphere.
