About Annabelle

Your Gulf Coast Real Estate Partner

Annabelle Bennett

Hi, I'm Annabelle!

I'm a real estate agent with AMI Beaches (Anna Maria Island Realty), specializing in properties across Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, and Bradenton, Florida.

I graduated from Boston University with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management — a background that gives me a unique understanding of what makes a property not just a house, but a home, a retreat, and a smart investment.

After growing up in the Boston suburbs, I made the move to Florida's Gulf Coast in 2022 and instantly fell in love with the area's stunning beaches, warm community, and endless sunshine. I know what it's like to dream about living in paradise and then make it happen — and I love helping others do the same.

My specialty is vacation homes, rental properties, and investment opportunities. Whether you're looking for a beachfront condo to rent out seasonally, a forever home on Longboat Key, or your first investment property in Bradenton, I'll guide you through every step.

Why Work With Me?

Hospitality Expertise

My BU degree in Hospitality & Tourism means I understand vacation markets, rental potential, and what makes a property truly special for guests and residents alike.

Local Knowledge

I live here, I love it here, and I know every neighborhood, beach access, and hidden gem from Bradenton to the north end of Longboat Key.

Personal Touch

You're not a transaction — you're a person with a dream. I take the time to understand exactly what you're looking for and won't stop until we find it.

Investment Savvy

I help investors analyze rental income potential, occupancy rates, and market trends to maximize returns on Gulf Coast properties.

Renovation Eye

As someone who loves home renovations, I can spot properties with hidden potential and help you see what a space could become.

Genuine Passion

Real estate isn't just my career — it's my passion. I'm genuinely excited about every property search, every closing, every set of keys handed over.

When I'm Not Selling Homes...

You'll find me on the tennis court, out on the golf course, fishing in the Gulf, tackling my latest home renovation project, or — when the season's right — hitting the ski slopes up north. I believe life on the Gulf Coast is about more than just where you live; it's about how you live.
