We spent two winters on Anna Maria Island, and I was concerned about the advanced age of the residents and the horrible traffic. It was a good 45 minutes to get from Bradenton to Sarasota in February.

Insurance on a 2500sf, canal front pool home in Port Charlotte less than 10 yrs old was $2700, no bond or other fees. Lots of first rate builders in the area and a few I would not consider. A seasoned agent will help.
