Little slice of paradise!

We booked a family vacation for a week at this rental. The place met all of our needs and was stocked well. Location was perfect to the gulf side and also got to enjoy the beauty of the bay. It’s situated in the middle of AMI so it’s convenient to get to the north or south end of the island. Lots of restaurants close by and the island trolly picks up on the main strip. The pool was a great amenity if you needed a break from the beach. The place has a few beach accessories for renters to use. We bought two umbrellas and water floaties to add to their collection. Hopefully when we return, we will be able to use them again! :)
Property is set back a few steps from the main strip which makes for a peaceful stay.
Sunrise on the bay side in back of the property.
Beach access walking distance from the property.
Pool - one of the decks on the property faces the pool. Pool never seemed to be real busy but there is plenty of room to have fun!

The View!!!!

The pictures do not give the view justice! It was amazing and so nice to look at while enjoying our morning coffee. Everything was just as described or better. Beds and pillows were comfy. They even provided beach towels! And of course the location was just where we wanted to be.

Great location for beach and restaurants. Pool is nice. One negative is that we shared the place and the cost with another couple. Their bedroom had a balcony and television and we had neither. A simple bedroom tv would really help

Great stay

The condo is on the second floor so there is a switchback staircase to enter. Covered parking with 2 spaces and guest parking as well, that is a bonus! Condo was clean but needs a deep clean soon. Furniture was "lived" in but was adequate for 4 adults. King bed was firm but comfortable. Queen bed in 2nd bedroom could use an update. Walk to the beach was a straight shot. I am suffering with neuropathy and other issues and I was able to easily walk to the beach. Beach cart. Towels and chairs were provided. Laundry in the unit was great. All kitchenware needs were provided. Owner was exceptionally accomidating when I failed to book the day after my daughters wedding! Walkable to Wicked Cantina. Green Turtle. Gulf Dr. Tiki huts and restaurants. My only complaint was the pool being way too hot. If the heater in the pool has been turned down or off it would have been enjoyable, it was literally hotter than bath water and miserable to be in. The community pool does not reflect on the owners. Enter at the alley between Tortuga and Silver Surf. GPS will take you down a dead end with no entry to the condos. :-) Was a great stay and we will be back!! Thank you!

Wonderful place on Anna Maria!

This property has it all! It is beautifully decorated and has two balconies and is conveniently located across from the beach on the bay within walking distance of downtown Bradenton Beach. The hosts have attended to every detail, including a wonderfully stocked kitchen, very detailed guide book and an assortment of beach supplies, including chairs and an umbrella. What a treat to stay here when we visited AMI last!

Relaxing week in AMI

We really enjoyed our week at Bay Watch Condos in AMI! The heated pool was a huge hit with our daughters... never crowded, warm and clean. The condo was very comfortable and clean when we arrived. The proximity to the bay side and ocean was ideal. The condo was well equipped and perfect for our family of 4.

My husband and 2 daughters and I just returned from an amazing stay. The condo was great. My favorite part was sitting out on the deck at night and reading my book. The location was great. Several restaurants were within walking distance. The pool was a perfect temperature and the beach across the street was amazing. The hosts were easy to communicate with. I'd definitely stay again.
