About this property

Newly Renovated - 1 Block from the Beach, Walk to Bars, Restaurants & Shopping!

**NON-SMOKING PROPERTY**
The Haven at Bay Watch is newly renovated … everything from the walls in is brand new. The Haven is hidden away and quiet so if you’re looking for tranquility, with a contemporary flare, just minutes from all the fun – this one is for you!

You will be a one block walk from the white sandy beaches and just steps away from the bay. You’ll also be walking distance to Anna Maria Island's best waterfront restaurants and the quaint shopping village on historic Bridge Street. Some of our nearby favorites include the Wicked Cantina, The Blue Marlin and The Beach House restaurants. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway, a fun family vacation or a relaxing winter in the sun.

Leave your car in one of the two covered parking spaces and walk or take the free trolley up and down the Island. There is a large pool (with outdoor shower and restrooms) for your use when you prefer that to the beach, and a new dock for fishing or relaxing within steps of your unit. Inside you will find a brand new modern kitchen with all the things you will need to prepare your own meals when you prefer to stay in.

This 2 bedroom 2 bath (1100 sf), 2nd floor unit will sleep four with a king size bed in the main bedroom and a queen bed in the guest bedroom. There is a new 55” television in the living room, a new 48" television in each of the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

Amenities include, new full-size washer/dryer, wireless high-speed internet, beach chairs and umbrellas, and a furnished patio.

Enjoy the best of both worlds while vacationing at The Haven with Florida’s Intra-Coastal Waterway on the east side of the condo and the Gulf of Mexico one block west of the condo!

The Haven at Bay Watch is a one week minimum rental.

Please note this is a non-smoking property, smoking or vaping is strictly prohibited anywhere on the property and is subject to an immediate fine.

Book your getaway, vacation or winter season at The Haven at Bay Watch today for an unforgettable experience on sunny, beautiful Anna Maria Island!

Great location and host!

We have come to AMI for many, many years. This unit is located in a great spot because you are relatively centrally located on the island and can easily get to either bridge. The walk to the beach is not long and having the pier and bay in the back is nice. The beach is not busy in this stretch which is a huge bonus, even at peak times like April. You can also walk to several restaurants and even walk to Bridge St if you want to (about 15min walk). The unit itself is set up very well and probably stocked the best of any place we've ever stayed probably in terms of kitchen items, bathroom items, etc. It's decorated nicely and the pics on the listing are representative of the actual unit! Host was FANTASTIC with communication and easy to work with. Would book again!

Haven at Bay Watch

This was our first time on Anna Maria Island. The Haven at Bay Watch offers the ideal location and amenities for an enjoyable, relaxing stay on the island. Walk one block and you’re on the magnificent beach. Walk a few blocks south and you’re walking down Historic Bridge street. The accommodations are superb - modern, updated and stylish. Everything that you need for a perfect getaway is on site, including beach chairs, beach umbrellas and pool towels. The kitchen has all of the accessories you need for your stay. The heated pool - steps from your villa - is refreshing on those 100% sunshine days. Diane, your host, is a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive to any concern or question. The Haven at Bay Watch is the ideal villa for a great stay on Anna Maria Island.

Beach getaway

Nicely remodeled 2 bedroom condo. It is on the 3rd floor, but that is nice because you don’t have anyone above you. Kids loved the pool and it was a short walk to the beach. Beach chairs and towels were provided. We would definitely stay here again.

Our winter get away

We had a really lovely week on Anna Maria, enjoying the island and this condo. Diane was great to communicate with and the condo was excellent in many ways. Our only issue , which would not even be an issue for many others, was the two flights of stairs up to the unit. We have stayed in other similar situations on the 2nd floor, but there has always been access to an elevator. One of our group has a medical condition that requires a 70 lb. medical device that needed to be carried up and back down those stairs along with 30 12lb bags of water and other luggage. In our situation we will be more careful to look for an elevator in the building in the future. The unit was clean and nicely redone. The location and parking were excellent.

Everything you need

Our stay at Diane’s was perfect from the lovely message we received upon booking to the helpful checkout reminders when leaving. The location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but easily walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. The condo was stocked with everything we needed so we cooked quite a few meals there. Also the beds were super cozy. It truly is a haven.

Beautiful newly renovated condo with gorgeous bathrooms. The pictures don’t do this unit justice, you won’t be disappointed in this beautiful condo. The parking is safe and comes with two parking spaces. The beach is a short walk up the street. Great communication from the host! The unit is conveniently located to restaurants and gift shops.
