Make plans to celebrate your No. 1 mom on Mother’s Day, May 14, with an Anna Maria Island beach getaway.

 

We have spectacular, multi-family homes so invite everyone, even the in-laws. Anna Maria Island offers some of the most beautiful beaches and we have properties with water views.

 

Don’t let your mother lift a finger during her vacation. Use The Loaded Kitchen to stock your fridge and pantry. Choose the items from a grocery list. The Loaded Kitchen team will deliver your items to your vacation rental before you arrive. After all, the last thing you want is for mom to run to the store.

 

Take your dinners up a notch with a personal chef. The Traveling Gourmet prepares a customized meal for your special event. Or plan a lunch, brunch or dessert spread. The chef will send menu options for your get-together. Make it an hors d’oeuvre party, buffet-style family meal, or a personalized meal. It is up to you. And your mother, of course.

 

When you head to the beach, mom should not have to carry gear. Use CabanUp to deliver and set-up your tent, chairs, table, and beach toys. Their team will have your set-up ready at the beach by about 10 a.m., with your name clearly labeled. Just walk up and enjoy your day. You might want to bring sunscreen. Their team will remove the gear at the end of the day.

 

Mother’s Day represents one of the busiest days for dining out. So it is perfect that Anna Maria Island has so many delicious restaurants. The menu at The Waterfront Restaurant & Craft Bar offers fresh classic American seafood, steaks and salads prepared in beautiful presentations using the freshest ingredients. Shrimp and grits, wasabi-crusted tuna, grouper cakes, and Scottish salmon are among the highlights. Sandbar Seafood and SpiritsThe Porch Restaurant, and Beach Bistro offer other excellent choices.

 

Pamper your mom with a spa day at Body & Soul spa and wellness center, 9805 Gulf Drive in Anna Maria. Special packages include a massage, facial and pedicure. Let the mom in your life prop her feet up and relax.
