Great condo for three adults and my five year-old son. Really appreciate all of the beach towels, chairs, and toys which made packing for the trip so much easier.
Hi David,
We are glad you enjoyed your stay at our home on AMI. We agree, the pool and the beach are great. We are glad to have you stay at our AMI Get-A-Way in the future.
We had the best time staying in this property. It had everything and all of the space we needed. Great location for the beach and restaurants near by. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Anna Maria Island!

Hi Rhoda,
We are grateful that you stayed in our home during your trip. Also, thank you for the kind words regarding how clean, cared for and homey our place is. We look forward to having you again at our AMI Get-A-Way!
Very nice condo seamless stay great location but a little further than we thought to walk but overall an easy walk to the beach. Pool never crowded. Couldn’t have asked for anything better with short notice of a couple of weeks.
We had a great time on our first visit to Anna Maria Island/Bradenton Beach! The property was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our group of four. The owners were great to work with and they made our stay so pleasant. We will definitely be back!

The condo was very nice and had everything that we needed. The overall property was well kept and a good location to be able to get to everywhere on the island and Bradenton. Beach access is right across the street and easy to access. Our dog passed away just before traveling, but I can recommend this condo for anyone traveling with pets.

I stayed with my family of 5, which includes 2 teenage boys, and the size was perfect. We didn’t feel like we were constantly on top of each other. Short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping! Would absolutely stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay. The condo is close to the beach where we spent most of our time. We used the pool one day and it was warm and clean. The complex is quiet and people are friendly. We will be back.
Clean and well-maintained condo. Comfortable living room, dining, kitchen and bedrooms. Quiet setting and convenient location to many restaurants and local shopping. Beach is a quick walk across the street. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider this place in the future.

Hi Janet,
We’re truly sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your vacation. We understand how important time away is and always strive to be transparent with our guests. When you booked on Feb 20, 2025, our VRBO listing in Dec 2024 clearly states in the first paragraph:
"IMPORTANT: Runaway Bay has ongoing construction occurring due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Amenities, such as the pool, shuffleboard, tennis/pickleball courts, the exercise room, and fishing pier are currently closed and unavailable. Parking, at times, is limited due to contractors performing repairs. Our unit is available, and the price reflects the current limited amenities and construction. Please reach out to us for more information.” (We recently updated the listing as the pickleball/tennis courts have recently opened.)
We also encouraged guests to reach out with questions. Other guests, including one who stayed just before you, appreciated the communication and left positive feedback, noting the construction but praising the unit and community recovery. In their 5-star review, they share "...great place obviously under construction after the 2 hurricanes 6 months ago but still better than expected. great to see the island bouncing back. see you next year. Thanks.”
Our unit remains clean, fully functional, and was undamaged. The HOA controls amenity reopenings, not us. We reduced our rates accordingly and even offered you an extra 10% discount.
We regret your experience, but your 1-star review overlooks the clear and honest information we provided. We'll continue to be upfront with guests and maintain the standard that has earned us consistent 5-star ratings.
Warm regards,
Dan and Tim
Our trip was amazing ! The condo was great! We did have a couple of unexpected guests (2 lizards and a huge bug) but that's one of the things that happens in Florida we've learned 😉 The condo was clean and we loved the decorating. We are definitely making AMI an annual trip and we would love to stay in the same place again if it's available.

About the host
Hosted by Dan and Tim
Tim and I grew up in Bucks County, PA where our family of ten (7 boys and 1 girl) spent many summers vacationing in Avalon, NJ. Our parents provided a great setting for great memories spending long summer days at the beach. When Tim and I visited Anna Maria Island in early 2022, we felt like we found the perfect place to again create great memories with our families. We are glad to provide a place for you to create those special moments with your families.
Why they chose this property
Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island is the perfect place to slow down for our families. Runaway Bay is centrally located between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Waterway/Bay allowing for easy access to beautiful water. Runaway Bay has great amenities for young families and couples looking to step away for a short retreat. The pool feels like you are at a resort. Being able to walk or take the free trolley to dinner, entertainment, shows, and mini-golf near Bridge Street was important for us. Spending late afternoons on the beach and having dinner with the sun setting over the Gulf is a perfect way to end the day with your family.
What makes this property unique
Runaway Bay is perfectly located to slow down and enjoy sugary-sanded beaches, turquoise water, and beautiful sunsets. Lounging at the pool or conveniently walking to the beach is essential. Enjoying the entre island is easily done by walking or taking the free trolley, which means not contending with driving. For active families, having many amenities and activities near by, such as the pool, tennis courts, paddle board, kayaking, and golf near by, allows for many convenient options.
