Manatee County Public Beach on Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Beach Resort · Holmes Beach

Black Car Service to Anna Maria Beach Resort

A small Gulf-side property on Holmes Beach — suites and cottages rather than a tower, which is what most of this island is and why people keep coming back to it.

A Small Property on a Small Island

No bell desk, no valet, and no need for either.

Anna Maria Beach Resort is the island format: a handful of suites and cottages directly on the Gulf side of Holmes Beach, run by people rather than by a front-office system. Nobody is going to page you when a car arrives.

So we call or text on arrival and wait, rather than expecting you to be standing outside at a precise minute. On a street this quiet that works far better than a scheduled kerb slot, and it means a departure does not start with somebody standing in the sun with luggage.

  • Chauffeur calls or texts on arrival
  • Bags taken from the door
  • Quiet residential-street pickups
  • Early departures without waking the block

02 / A Week Without Driving

The trolley handles the island. We handle everything else.

Manatee County runs a free trolley the length of Gulf Drive, which covers most of what a guest wants day to day — the beaches, Bridge Street, the shops and restaurants at each end of the island. A hire car spends that week parked.

What the trolley does not do is the airport, dinner on the mainland, or a day in Sarasota. Those are the trips worth booking, and for a week-long stay they usually come to less than seven days of rental plus the island's genuinely limited parking.

The free island trolley

It runs the length of Gulf Drive and it is free. For beach days and dinner on the island it is the right answer, which is exactly why a rental car is usually the wrong one.

The Car & the Chauffeur

A detailed sedan or SUV, and a chauffeur who waits.

Every Anna Maria Beach Resort transfer runs in a Mercedes-Benz E 350 sedan or a GMC Yukon SUV, cleaned before it leaves and driven by a chauffeur in coat and tie. Flights are tracked against the actual landing rather than the schedule, so a delay moves the pickup instead of costing you the car, and the driver meets you rather than texting a plate number from a garage.

  • Mercedes-Benz E 350 sedan — up to 3 passengers
  • GMC Yukon SUV — up to 6 passengers and luggage
  • Flight tracked; wait time built into airport pickups
  • One dispatch desk for multi-car and multi-day movements

Max Luxury Limo is an independent chauffeur company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a preferred provider for Anna Maria Beach Resort.

FAQ

Anna Maria Beach Resort Black Car Service — FAQ

Do you provide black car service to Anna Maria Beach Resort?
Yes. We run chauffeured black car transfers to and from Anna Maria Beach Resort in Holmes Beach — SRQ and TPA airport transfers, mainland dinner runs, Sarasota day trips and end-of-stay departures.
How does pickup work at a small property?
The chauffeur calls or texts on arrival and waits. There is no bell desk here to page you, so a scheduled kerb slot would just mean standing outside with luggage — this way you come out when the car is actually there.
Do we need a hire car on Anna Maria Island?
For most stays, no. Manatee County runs a free trolley the length of Gulf Drive covering the beaches, Bridge Street and the restaurants at both ends. A car is worth booking for the airport at each end and a mainland trip or two, which usually beats a week of rental plus the island's limited parking.
How far is SRQ?
Roughly 30 to 40 minutes in normal conditions; TPA is about an hour and a quarter. Both are approximate, and both stretch when one of the bridges opens for boat traffic.
Can you take us to Sarasota for the day?
Yes. Downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle and the Ringling are all roughly 40 to 50 minutes south depending on the route and the bridges. We drop and collect at an agreed time.
