The apartments are fully equipped and intimate, and only one or two storeys high. They are located either directly on the beach, or across the small two-lane road that runs along the island. Registration and key collection will be at the 'A Paradise Management Office', located just a short distance from the properties on Anna Maria Island. Here guests will be allocated a Beachfront or Bayside apartment, depending on what they have booked. Office hours are from 9 am until 5 pm from Monday to Saturday. When registering for an apartment, guests will be asked to leave a credit card as security. The Management Company accepts either MasterCard or VISA.
