We've stayed in this community several times over the past 5 years and it continues to be one of our favorite places near Anna Maria Island. The location is perfect. You're just minutes from the island but away from the crowds. It's especially great if you're traveling with dogs, with plenty of walking paths, birding trails, and beautiful water views.The condo itself was tastefully furnished, very comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed. It's an ideal space for couples and/or a family. The screened in porch is a great place to unwind. The pool area is a bit disappointing, as it's very small and gets crowded quickly in the summer. It would be nice if we had access to one of the additional community pools. (Side note: apparently, guest can pay an additional fee to the neighboring Compass Hotel for a day pass to use their pool.)My only suggestion would be to simplify the check-in & out process. Driving to Anna Maria Island to pick up the keys during peak traffic added a lot of time, so a lockbox or keypad entry would make arrival much easier. We also had about a one-hour delay at check-in because the condo was still being cleaned, but we believe that was just an isolated situation. Overall, we had another wonderful stay and are already planning our next trip. We highly recommend this condo and this community to anyone visiting the area!

We loved the condo and resort! It was absolutely perfect!

This property was excellent, it had everything that it advertised in the listing. Check in was easy and a breeze, the property management texted with us prior to our stay and promptly answered our questions. The location was perfect, just off the North Bridge to the Island, it was always a quick drive even during busy hours. The condo was clean and obviously well cared for. Having the 3 beds/bath was perfect for our group (Mom and Dad, Grandparents, 3 small children) as we all had our private space when needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all the items needed for cooking and dinning. We loved having the games and the screened in porch to enjoy. Definitely recommend this property.

We stayed for a Spring Break trip. We'd never visited the area. Always hard to know exactly what to expect, but it was fabulous. We had wonderful weather and the condo was simply fantastic. Stocked with all the kitchen essentials, clean, comfortable, spacious for a family of 5, etc. Loved the screened in porch and appreciated the extras (even though we didn't use them) like Wii and PS3 with plenty of games and also a collection of DVDs. If there had been rain, we would have been covered. enjoyed walking the property. Weather during this time was perfect -- dry and mid-60s to upper 70s. I liked the location for it's space although I did wish a little that we had stayed on AMI for convenience. Traffic to get to the island in the mornings was insane and then once on the island traffic is rough. But it was also nice to not be part of that congestion every day and have some space. And that was really the only negative -- the traffic. Getting out of the area through Bradenton (which is basically the only way out) was often very congested as well. I was told that Spring Break it's the busiest season in this area. Would definitely recommend this condo.
