The condo sustained no damage, we have been accepting guests for several weeks, the pool has been completely drained, acid washed, refilled and we have installed a new pump, a new filter and all new equipment.

First, though, let’s talk about the water. After all, when you come to the beach, you want to be at the beach. Bay Watch Bungalow—like Anna Maria Island itself—is entirely surrounded by water.

In fact, every single room at the condo has a water view. Slide open the glass doors to the north balcony with your favorite beverage and take in a particularly lovely view of both the Gulf of Mexico and Florida's Intracoastal Waterway where you will also find your own private grill the only condo in the complex offering the amenity.

A second balcony faces south with a view of the complex’s sparkling, heated pool. Want to be even closer to the water? At Bay Watch Bungalow, you also have complimentary access to the boat/fishing dock, so you can spend the day boating the Gulf or fishing its dazzling aquamarine waters.

We almost forgot to mention this is where the dolphins love to hangout at and entertain you. The beach itself is a one-minute stroll away, via a brick path.

After an afternoon of sunbathing on the beach, step into your cool, open condo. Tile floors soothe your bare feet and comfortable furnishings invite you to sit down and relax in the A/C. OTHER EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS AT THE BAY WATCH BUNGALOW.

Wake up refreshed in either a California King or Queen bed, both with brand-new mattresses and mattress toppers. The guest room also offers a queen and twin bed; great for keeping little ones close. Brew a coffee or espresso in the kitchen, then head to the north balcony to watch a spectacular sunrise over the Bay.



Get ready for the day in two full, pristine bathrooms. Spend the morning on a stroll in the sun. Choose between a walk on the beach or perusing the nearby beach/gif/shell shops for that perfect souvenir. Walk to the end of Bridge St. Pier and tuck into a plate of oysters at the Anna Maria Island Oyster Bar for lunch.

All of this is easily accessible on foot from the condo! Swim in the Gulf's always-warm waters, sunbathe on the beach, or take a dip in the Bay Watch Bungalow's in-ground heated pool. The south balcony at the condo faces the pool, so you can keep an eye on the kids while they swim.

Grab dinner ingredients at the island's grocery—or the Walmart a 10-minute drive away on the mainland—and craft a meal in the full kitchen, which includes cabinets stocked with brand-new cookware and dishes. Load the dishwasher then head back to the balcony.

As evening falls, another lovely view awaits to close the day: watch the mainland's lights and boats sailing on the bay under the moonlight. WHAT’S NEW FOR YOUR STAY. The Bay Watch Bungalow has been entirely refreshed to be the ultimate island escape for guests. Upgrades include: State-of-the-art, ultra-high efficiency air conditioning system with all-new duct work Three new flat screen televisions Two entirely new bedrooms suites: new mattresses, bedding, towels, furniture, and window coverings included New, modern appliances in the kitchen Keyless door locks New ceiling fans New coffee/espresso maker Other new appliances: blender, toaster, food processor New dishes, glasses, cooking utensils and more Plus, there are perks that have been at The Bay Watch Bungalow for a while, but still make guests happy: High-speed wireless internet Two free parking spots under cover from Florida’s sun (important when there are 361 sunny days a year!) Private grill on the north-facing balcony which provides breathtaking views of both the Gulf and Bay Washer & dryer in your unit.

A signed lease agreement is required.

Beautiful Bay Watch Bungalow

Our check-in process went smoothly. I missed the note about not following the GPS and we were confused on how to get to the property but my text message was answered promptly and we were given directions. The condo was clean and the location was perfect. We will definitely stay again when visiting the island.

A Quiet and Relaxing Condo

We loved this bright and roomy condo! It had everything we needed, and plenty of space. Everything was clean and comfortable. Had plenty of beach necessities and towels, so no need to pack those. The host was extremely helpful, we arrived early and had some groceries in the car, so we notified her and she let us right in. Also, was quick to get a replacement element for the stove when it wouldn’t work properly. The balconies are nice, the view of the bay is beautiful, especially at sunrise. We also loved the big pool, it was clean and felt great after a beach day. It is also in walking distance of a lot of restaurants and beach shops, and the beach is right across the street! I highly recommend this condo and would definitely stay again!

Cute Comfy Condo

My Mom, teenager daughter, and I stayed for two nights in this cute and comfy condo. It had everything we needed. Check in and check out was easy. The bed was comfortable. Quick walk to the beach. Nice heated pool. Terry provided all the information we needed and was easy to communicate with. I would recommend staying here.

IMG Soccer Stay

Condo was perfect for me and two teenagers. Excellent communication and responsiveness made the experience seamless. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen as I cooked a fair amount. A Keurig would be a nice update. Location is perfect. Beach is across the street, pool is warm and clean. The complex is very quiet with friendly individuals. Local restaurants are fantastic. There’s easy access to Publix, etc. so that’s helpful. Also parking with two spaces is great as finding public parking on the island would be a challenge. Will stay again!

We visited Anna Maria with the family and found this condo to be perfectly situated right in the heart of Bradenton Beach. The condo is located a short one minute walk from the sugar sands of Bradenton Beach. Great restaurants close by and the condo is well appointed with everything you and your party will need for a great vacation. We found this condo perfectly located and communication with property manager was great.

Amazing vacation!

Great location! Steps from bay and short walk to not so crowded beach. Property had anything you would need in unit. Stairs were necessary, so if you can’t make it up a few flights…this isn’t the property for you. We rented a golf cart, it was delivered to the unit. We were close to the trolly pick up. And walking distance to a couple resturaunts. Minutes from bridge street. And a short drive to Anna Maria sights and shopping, dining, ect. We had the best time!!! Thanks for having us!

Great condo, space, location, set up - but not as seen in the pictures online

We literally loved everything about this place and our stay. We are also hosts of a property and understand how important reviews can be - this place is falsely advertising that there are to full/queen beds via pictures on the site - it’s BS. We showed up and a trundle was stuck in the closet, a handyman was supposed to come re-install it, never showed up and no call from him or the manager. We rented based on pictures and descriptions and this place is not being truthful. Besides the second bedroom situation it was amazing, but that’s not ok to falsely advertise. They’re going to reply they are sorry and communicated with me, that’s BS, I got one call and no follow up and no one came to fix the trundle bed and I had to do it on my own.

We had a blast on our vacation. The condo was very nice and clean. It’s plenty big enough to enjoy your stay. The only drawback was the steps but that’s my fault next time I’ll ask because I’d prefer a main floor. But other than that, this place was very nice!
