Being at BWBC is like visiting family, and we have made many friends over the years from all over the world. Most appealing is the very friendly and accommodating employees who go out of their way to make guests comfortable and... More

We had a great week here! The rooms were good! The beach was beautiful, I got up every morning about 4 am to see if I could find a sea turtle laying her eggs! The staff was very nice! The BED was good too! We will b returning in June 2013!

We have stayed here several times over the years. This property is located north of Mannatee Ave in a quiet section of this little slice of paradise known as Ann Maria Island. It is nestled between beautiful condos and literally steps from the sands of the Gulf of Mexico. There are no chain hotels here, only small motels and a... More

Stayed here one night recently over the Thanksgiving holiday. There are very few places to stay one night on the northern tip of Anna Maria and we almost passed on Blue Water due to the outdated exterior, but for one night it was fine. The room was spacious and clean but quite basic with nothing special to distinquish it. A... More

My wife, son and I went for a one-night retreat. The outside of the hotel says "classic 1950's", which blends nicely with Anna Maria's "Old Florida" style. The front desk was extremely friendly and extremely knowledgable about Anna Maria Island. Sebastian was very accommodating, especially with our request for an extra hour for checkout. The rooms were spic and span... More
