Our family has only nice things to say about our experience at this property. Communication with the owner was easy and pleasant, the property is clean with comfortable livingroom furniture, has many updates, and had everything we needed from beach toys and towels to kitchen equipment and spices. It was a very short walk to the beach access. We were permitted to bring our well-behaved cat, and all of us, cat included, enjoyed the little screened porch.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, pet owners, families with young children.

This unit in Runaway Bay was great. The 2 bedroom / 2 bath unit had plenty of space and a fully equipped kitchen. As mentioned in the title we came down for a wedding and after talking to other wedding guests, it confirmed we had gotten the best deal as far as location and amenities. It is fabulously located right near the beach and the pool is right around the corner from the unit itself within Runaway Bay. The supermarket is a short drive up Gulf Shore Drive with restaurants within walking distance. If you plan on visiting Anna Maria Island, feel confident that a stay in this unit in Runaway Bay will be the easiest part of your trip and all you will have to worry about is your sunscreen!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Thank-you Daniel for letting us rent your condo. We had a wonderful time swimming in the pool, playing tennis and making sand castle on the beach. The condo was perfectly clean and the pictures tell how nice the place is. We took the free trolley to the fishing pier and watched the fish and dolphins. Our four boys enjoyed the sun and quiet time. This place is excellent as advertised.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

My husband and I came here for our one year anniversary vacation and could not have asked for a more relaxing and stress free getaway. The condo was WAY bigger than we expected and exceptionally clean. Being able to use their towels and chairs when we walked across the street to the beach was great and we took full advantage of the washer and dryer in the unit .The location was fantastic, right in the middle of the island, walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the beautiful beach. Also, having the FREE trolley stop outside of Runaway Bay, when we wanted to explore the rest of AMI, was an added plus. We had a fun time going to dinner at the different restaurants that run up and down the island (most of them with great views of the bay or Gulf) and enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL sunsets every night. Dan was a pleasure to work with and was spot on with all of his suggestions. Thank you for helping make our anniversary one to remember! We definitly plan on "Running Away" here in the near future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Just returned from our stay on Anna Marie Island. The owner responded to all questions very promptly and everything was handled smoothly. The condo was just as described and clean and well equipped. It was centrally located and near the beach with a lovely pool area and manicured grounds. There was a trolley stop just outside the complex and the bus came about every 20 minutes. The beaches were beautiful and the water was warm and lovely. We enjoyed seeing the dolphins swimming on several occasions. Hopefully we will be able to come back for a longer visit sometime soon.

My family stayed for a week (last week) four of us. Plenty of room, loved the set up inside and everything we needed was there. The location is great easy walk to pool, beach, and the pier outback. My family thoroughly enjoyed our week there and plan to stay again next year. There is a trolley stop right outside the complex too which we rode to enjoy the sights one day, so much easier than driving a car around an unfamiliar place. I highly recommend the owner is also very accessable if needed. We had no issue but did confirm we arrived and that we had checked out. Great place :).Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1991
About the owner: Greetings potential renter. I have owned this property since 1991 and have fully enjoyed the time I get to spend here. My family and I stay in the unit several times a year, which is why it's important to me to keep it updated and clean. We pride ourselves in having one of the cleanest and most functional units around. I have rented this unit out to dozens of singles, couples, families, and organizations throughout the years, many of which are repeat renters. I look forward to working with you, and sharing my treasured 'home away from home' with you.
Why the Owner Chose Bradenton Beach:
I chose to buy this home due to its convenience, beauty, and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. Its located just 25 minutes from the Sarasota airport, and is walking distance of many shoreline restaurants and amenities on Gulf Drive.
There is beach access within directly across the street from the unit, not to mention benefits from the beautiful grounds and fellow owners of Runaway Bay.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
I offer easy flat rates, don't bee fooled by other renters who tack on additional cleaning fees on top of their already inflated rental rates.
