We liked the location and Michael was very communicative and friendly. We did think we’d have a private balcony area based on the photos but that was not the case. All in all it was a good place to stay and the pricing was great. Everything was as it states on the listing. We were able to check out later which was very much appreciated. We have young kids and having an outdoor play space would have been perfect. If our kids were older they could have had a lot more to do and explore. So, if you have older kids this place is great.

I enjoy traveling and spending time near the water, and I love sharing this part of Florida with guests. I aim to provide a comfortable, easy stay with clear communication and everything you need to enjoy the area.
Why they chose this property
I love this location because you get the best of both worlds: a peaceful waterfront setting while still being just minutes from Anna Maria Island and its beaches, restaurants and shops. Cortez and Bradenton are close by, and IMG Academy is an easy drive. It’s a great home base for enjoying the area without having to stay directly on the island.
What makes this property unique
The waterfront setting is what makes this condo special. You can relax by the canal, enjoy the shared waterfront gazebo, fish from the shared dock area, and sometimes even spot a manatee passing by. Inside, you’ll have two bedrooms, a full kitchen, updated bathroom, in-unit washer and dryer, fast Wi-Fi and central air. Best of all, Anna Maria Island is just minutes away, giving you easy access to the beaches while staying in a quieter waterfront setting.
