Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person. The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to: 7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels) 10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels) The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Microwave - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Shower/bathtub combination ### Living spaces - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Dryer - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76020000/76012300/76012296/bde4cba9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Summer Sunset-6 bed luxury with pool directly across frm beach-BLACK FRIDAY SALE Bradenton Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.4 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=76012296&PinnedHotelID=76012296&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76720000/76712900/76712853/58d25cfa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Home with the Best Beach Views and Beach Access - Oceanfront Paradise Bradenton Beach - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=76712853&PinnedHotelID=76712853&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73530000/73527700/73527618/ee12b108.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Gulf Front Home with Private Pool and Spa Bradenton Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 47 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=73527618&PinnedHotelID=73527618&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111660000/111657600/111657569/e59fa951.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Beachfront Retreat~Pool~Game Room~Sleeps 16 Bayshore Gardens - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=111657569&PinnedHotelID=111657569&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107340000/107339600/107339516/w2128h1597x356y0-848f5085.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Newly Renovated Pet Friendly Waterview w/Private Heated Pool/Spa & Cabana Bar Anna Maria - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=107339516&PinnedHotelID=107339516&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33700000/33690100/33690008/4ec21a2f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Island Retreat!
