Tortuga Beach Resort is a family-friendly value hotel right across the road from a white sand beach on Anna Maria Island. Studios and apartments are large and feature fully equipped kitchens, patios or terraces, and beach-y decor (think: wicker furniture and tropical prints). The property offers three pools -- one of them overlooking the bay and exclusive to Bayfront units -- a dock for water sports, and a small cafe selling coffee, breakfast items, and snacks. Freebies, such as Wi-Fi and loaner beach chairs, umbrellas and towels, add value.

This upper-middle-range, Key-West-Style resort has 28 clean, spacious rooms, all with full kitchens and most with whirlpool tubs and walk-in showers. It's right in the heart of the action on historic Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach, near multiple shops and restaurants, but street-facing rooms can get noisy from traffic, revelers, and live music. Though the small pool by the parking lot is a bit underwhelming, the beautiful beach is right across the street.

The three-pearl Tradewinds Beach Resort is a homey, beach-themed hotel that stretches between a private beach on one side and a bay that’s ideal for fishing on the other. The 33 beach-themed apartment-style rooms are a bit dated for some, but they're spacious and include flat-screen TVs, full-size kitchens, and living rooms with sofas. The hotel has an outdoor heated pool and offers beach accessories for guests to borrow, plus free Wi-Fi and a guest laundry room. But be aware that Tradewinds lacks on-site dining. Travelers may also want to consider Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort, which provides a Grab & Go breakfast and on-site massages.
