Best ever trip to AMI

This condo made our trip this year wonderful! It was the most equipped rental we’ve ever had anywhere. The owners are so gracious to let tenants use their nice possessions. The view is incredible. I enjoyed my coffee almost every morning sitting out on the balcony and watching the fish junk in the water, the pelicans and dolphins. We absolutely loved it, and hopefully will be able to stay there many more times.

Mostly really good

The location was really great. Easy bike ride to bridge Street and Coquina Beach. Not too far from the town of Anna Maria. This unit is in the very back of the complex about two blocks distance from Gulf boulevard with the intercoastal behind. Zero Street traffic noise and we heard nothing from The neighbors. Added bonus being on the second floor could not hear anyone walking around or flushing toilets above us. That's why we selected this unit as opposed to less expensive one bedrooms that were on first floor. The mattress was firm and very comfortable. The furnishings were nicer than I expected in a rental and the couch was real leather as opposed to plastic blend. The condo is well equipped and we especially like the high end Cuisinart coffee maker. Wanted to pick up beans from a local roaster but those were hard to come by until the end of our trip we found a place off bridge street that was willing to sell by the pound. The condo also included nice beach umbrella, cooler and even a reflective window shade that came in really useful for the rental car. Access to the beach across the street was quick and easy. I think all of the beaches on the island are excellent. My favorites were Coquina Beach for the farm market, extraordinarily nice changing facilities, bike trail and just being able to disperse from the crowds. Bean Point is nice to watch the sun come up but I wouldn't want to carry a whole lot of gear out there. Couple of things that could have been better, there was a smell of cigarette smoke. It was mostly near the entrance and the balcony. Cindy with Wagner realty I was going to do some additional cleaning out there and I hope she did. I felt like she did a good job of trying to communicate with me. One other additional recommendation I would make is to add a deadbolt lock as a safety feature. The unit only has the type of lock you put a key into the handle. There is also an old style hotel chain for when you are already inside. We had excellent service from Beach bum rentals with delivery and pick up of cruiser bikes. Next time I will also rent a beach cart to carry gear from them. I would probably rent here again.

Beautiful, comfortable watery retreat near to everything

This place was super clean and so cute. The beds were so comfortable. Spacious with updated bathrooms and interior. It was perfect for me and my sister and brother-in-law. A short walk to John Chappie park right across the road for the ocean. An easy walk to Bridge Street and other locations. We had a blast! Such a great place to stay! So quiet and the rental office was so helpful and easy to work with!

Great accommodations

My wife was very impressed with the accommodations and selection of furniture. 2 small items to mention: (1) there are 3 different wi-if #’s. One listed on the Wagner paperwork, one on the counter, and one on the side of the refrigerator (this one is correct). (2) there were some very small ants in the kitchen and 2nd bathroom. I bought some ant traps and put them out and seemed to take care of the issue. Mentioning it in case someone else didn’t . Others mentioned them in several other condos without me saying anything. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We had the most relaxing vacation while at Runaway Bay. The condo overlooks the bay and the sunrises were spectacular! The bay is teeming with wildlife which provided us with hours of entertainment. The condo has a beachy and nautical vibe and has every comfort of home. We can’t wait to return!!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea and Ray Venn

Host profile image
We are from Hampshire, UK and enjoyed holidaying on Anna Maria Island for many years before we purchased a proportion on Runaway Bay. We feel that Runaway Bay has much to offer to the extent that we own another condo (one bedroom unit - VRBO reference 7114631) in very close proximity to this two bedroom 2 bathroom condo.

Why they chose this property

This condo has amazing views of Anna Maria Sound and Palma Sola Bay from both the balcony and the master bedroom. Prior to our purchase, this condo was used as a family holiday home and not on rental markets. Freshly painted and new flooring 2019.

What makes this property unique

The amazing views, from the balcony and the master bedroom, over the Intercostal Waterway are wonderful, from watching the sun rise to bird and dolphin watching. the pool on Runaway Bay is for the guests and residents of Runaway Bay. The beach is across the road from the complex
