Anna Maria Island (Anna Maria + Holmes Beach + Bradenton Beach) + Bradenton + Palmetto
North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton
Premium beach ADR ($680-$1,400+ nightly, 63-64% occupancy) on a 7-mile barrier island with three home-rule cities (Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach) running aggressive STR registration + occupancy + parking enforcement. FL state preempts outright bans (FS 509.032) but cities pre-2011 are partially grandfathered. Mainland Bradenton + unincorporated Manatee + Palmetto are cheaper LTR base but lack beach ADR.
State preemption protects right to STR but each AMI city has detailed registration, occupancy formulas, parking caps, annual inspections, and four-figure fines. Holmes Beach R-1/R-1AA enforce a 30-day minimum (1 rental per 30-day period) which kills nightly arbitrage in those zones. R-2/R-3/R-4 + A-1 zones allow weekly/daily. Manatee unincorporated has no county STR ordinance.
