“Perfect location and nice rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 1, 2012

The management was great. We had a problem with our refrigerator and it was replaced immediately along with some food that got wet. The location is perfect and the fire pit is really nice but you have to ask how to work it. Everyone was very friendly. The only negative for us was that there seemed to be several different guest that had visitors on several different days. It was difficult to park a couple of times and get chairs at the pool because of people not staying at the resort.

“I'm planning my next stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 27, 2012

We had a girls weekend and stayed over spring break 2012. We all were very pleased with our visit. This was the cleanest & quietest beach resort I have ever stayed in!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. I am planning to take my entire family back for a stay this summer!! We were within walking distance of Publix and CVS. We felt safe at all times even though it is located directly next to the public beach. The pine trees shaded the resort nicely and they had plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. The entire place had a Key West resort feel with the tropical gardens they have planted. Let's keep this place our little secret ... it is truly the best resort on Anna Maria Island. See you soon, Darla P.

“I can't wait to return!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 26, 2012

A beautiful little resort, one can't get any closer to the Gulf. Room was vey clean & updated (better than it shows on the internet). People & fellow guests were friendly & once we arrived our car hardly moved as most everything we needed was just a quick walk. I hesitated writing this as I wanted to keep this terrific resort our secret...but I couldn't do that to our super host Rick! Book your vacation here!....just not the week I want to return.
Best of times

“"PARADISE"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2012

Found it....
This is a wonderful resort, quiet, clean and perfect.
The apartments have everything you need, beautiful view of the beach from our rear balcony.
A stroll to the little bar across the road, good beer and burgers.
Another stroll to the beach cafe, full menu all day.
And yet another stroll to the bus stop for the free trolley up and down the island.
Rick was found to be very helpful when booking my room, he gave us advise on the Island.
The grounds are spotless, pool warm and clean. Good quality patio furniture for all to use.
And a large bbq area with seating and eating surfaces.
Thanks again to you all for a wonderful stay for my husbands birthday and our wedding anniversary last month.
Booked again for June.
See you then.
Thanks again.

“ON THE BEACH, CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2012

We stayed here for one night on our three week trip to discover the "real" Florida. The rooms were very clean and all the accommodation is well maintained...good heated swimming pool. Right on the beach with excellent swimming. Beach is busy as it is adjacent to public parking lot and restaurant. Would book again. "Skinny's" bar over the road is a character (wooden shack!) beer and burger bar run by third generation of original "settler".
