*The risk with beachfront or walk-to-beach locations is that, in my opinion, a lot of owners are not going to properly repair & renovate and eventually mold will develop affecting the health of vacationers. People are cheap but they charge hundreds of dollars a day to rent out.*
Thank you for addressing this critical issue. Unfortunately, some property owners may prioritize short-term gains over long-term health and safety. Mold can pose a serious health hazard, and any property affected by flooding must undergo proper remediation to remove moisture and prevent mold growth. While it may be more costly upfront, appropriate repairs protect guests' health and ensure the property's long-term value. When booking a vacation rental, it's essential to ask about the property's history and any damage caused by the hurricane. Inquire about whether the property has undergone mold remediation and whether any ongoing repairs or maintenance issues exist. Being informed and diligent can help ensure a safe and healthy stay on Anna Maria Island.
Excellent video of this hard hit area! It shows much of what was hit by the recent hurricane. Hoping this wonderful & loved vacation area comes back better than ever ❤️. Much hard work will be needed.
Thank you for your kind words and support! We appreciate that you found the video informative about the impact of Hurricane Helene. It's really sad to see such a beautiful place like Anna Maria Island being affected. We hope that with everyone's help, the island will be able to recover and become even better than it was before. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share the video.
Bradenton Beach got hit hard, but some good news Timetable is reopening! www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/floridas-bradenton-beach-90-95-destroyed-by-hurricane-helene-officials-say/ar-AA1rIyn2?ocid=BingNewsSerp
When do you think Anna Maria will be back to normal? We have reservations to be there for the month of February. Thanks in advance for your time Ps. We're staying in a one-story VRBO
Hey there, thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right about the recovery process. The beaches might recover quickly, but restaurants, bars, and shops could take longer. Before making plans for your VRBO, contact the owner or manager to check availability. They will have the latest information on any damage and repairs. It's difficult to predict exactly when Anna Maria will return to normal. It depends on the extent of the damage, the speed of repairs, and other factors. Follow local news and the tourism board for the latest updates. It might be a good idea to be flexible with your dates. When you visit, consider supporting the local businesses that are still recovering. I hope this information is helpful!
Well, I started with a magic carpet and a genie-just kidding! Took Palma Sola Blvd to Manatee Avenue and waited in traffic for over an hour to get to the island.
