Perfect Getaway

Location was great, close to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful pool, two balconies with views of the ocean, intercostal and pool. The condo was well equipped and roomy. Comfortable beds, good size kitchen and bright and airy with lots of windows. Would definitely return!

Great stay

The condo is on the second floor so there is a switchback staircase to enter. Covered parking with 2 spaces and guest parking as well, that is a bonus! Condo was clean but needs a deep clean soon. Furniture was "lived" in but was adequate for 4 adults. King bed was firm but comfortable. Queen bed in 2nd bedroom could use an update. Walk to the beach was a straight shot. I am suffering with neuropathy and other issues and I was able to easily walk to the beach. Beach cart. Towels and chairs were provided. Laundry in the unit was great. All kitchenware needs were provided. Owner was exceptionally accomidating when I failed to book the day after my daughters wedding! Walkable to Wicked Cantina. Green Turtle. Gulf Dr. Tiki huts and restaurants. My only complaint was the pool being way too hot. If the heater in the pool has been turned down or off it would have been enjoyable, it was literally hotter than bath water and miserable to be in. The community pool does not reflect on the owners. Enter at the alley between Tortuga and Silver Surf. GPS will take you down a dead end with no entry to the condos. :-) Was a great stay and we will be back!! Thank you!

Wonderful place on Anna Maria!

This property has it all! It is beautifully decorated and has two balconies and is conveniently located across from the beach on the bay within walking distance of downtown Bradenton Beach. The hosts have attended to every detail, including a wonderfully stocked kitchen, very detailed guide book and an assortment of beach supplies, including chairs and an umbrella. What a treat to stay here when we visited AMI last!

Relaxing week in AMI

We really enjoyed our week at Bay Watch Condos in AMI! The heated pool was a huge hit with our daughters... never crowded, warm and clean. The condo was very comfortable and clean when we arrived. The proximity to the bay side and ocean was ideal. The condo was well equipped and perfect for our family of 4.

Perfect getaway!

We stayed here for the week of spring break. It was amazing! The location is perfect, you are just steps away from the beach, restaurants, shops and Bridge Street. It’s also nice to have the pool. Our place was beautiful, clean, and had all the amenities that we needed! I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and condo

This was the perfect place for our family of 4 to enjoy our first visit to Anna Maria Island. Condo was spacious and clean. Great communication from hosts. The location was convenient to the free trolley stop, beach access, and several restaurants. Loved the views from front deck and watching the sunrise at the Bay Watch dock. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Great location for beach and restaurants. Pool is nice. One negative is that we shared the place and the cost with another couple. Their bedroom had a balcony and television and we had neither. A simple bedroom tv would really help

Love, loved this place.

My husband and 2 daughters and I just returned from an amazing stay. The condo was great. My favorite part was sitting out on the deck at night and reading my book. The location was great. Several restaurants were within walking distance. The pool was a perfect temperature and the beach across the street was amazing. The hosts were easy to communicate with. I'd definitely stay again. Thank you for allowing us to stay😊

Loved it!

this condo was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and perfect for our stay on Ana Maria Island. Both balconies are amazing. On one balcony you have views of both the Gulf of Mexico and the bay. The beach is right across the street and less than a five minute walk. The hosts answered our one question immediately and everything worked perfectly. the pool was so relaxing and not many people were there. we had it to ourselves most of the time. Beautiful weather beautiful location. Awesome condo would stay here again!

Everything you could need was right on the property which was just lovely. Would definitely recommend this rental. I would bring your own beach umbrella. I stayed in the master bedroom which was comfortable but was told the guest room mattress could be better Other than that not a complaint.

April Spring Break

Condo was very clean and very well furnished with everything needed. From the inside the couches and beds were very comfortable, the entire space space fit my family of four perfectly and could have accommodated more. There was plenty of boogie boards, sand toys galore for the kids, along with a beach wagon and really nice beach chairs. Even had a small cooler(we brought out own) and a little beach bag to carry snacks and drinks in. I especially liked that they left a couple of nice fishing poles that could be used, and were ready to use. My son and I went fishing on the bay every morning from the nice dock area in the back. Pool was heated and warm, and never crowded. Place is very quiet and great walking distance to so many great restaurants and bridge street, or take the free shuttle. I liked that they allow to use and leave behind common kitchen items instead of always having to replenish everything. Sandwich bags, seasonings, laundry detergent etc we left behind, but I'm sure we used some other items that were in the kitchen. Tim and Dave were quick to respond to any questions I had, although I hope I didn't ask to many!! Overall great experience, and my family was very happy and we are looking at next spring break already. Would book again. Great place!!
