Looking for reasonably priced place on the water with a kitchenett. kids are 13 and 9. Sugestions would be great.

Are you wanting Bradenton Beach, a city on Anna Maria island (along with the cities of Holmes Beach and Anna Maria)? Or are you willing to go further south along the shore? And when are you wanting to go to the beach? Some fodorites are having problems booking in March -- looks like Spring Breakers have just about gobbled up many low-cost/high value places in Treasure Island, but that might be too far north for you.

If you're interested in Anna Maria Island, we stayed at the Anna Maria Island Beach Resort and loved it as well as Anna Maria. Check out their website at annamariaislandbeachresort.com

Another vote for Anna Maria Island. We rented a gorgeous condo right on the beach. Check out www.annamaria.com. We specifically rented the Beach Front.

Have a friend who manages a condo complex on the beach. He has alot of connections if all his units are rentedout. Let me know and I can provide you his name.

We have a small house 3 miles into B'ton off Cortez and husband is there now. He can get Dan's phone for me if interested.

If so, what's your price range?
