The entire complex is built on pillars more than 20 feet off the ground. The condo sustained no damage, we have been accepting guests for several weeks, the pool has been completely drained, acid washed, refilled and we have installed a new pump, a new filter and all new equipment. The pool has never looked better, the beaches are open, the restaurants are open and the weather is fantastic.

First, though, let’s talk about the water. After all, when you come to the beach, you want to be at the beach. Bay Watch Bungalow—like Anna Maria Island itself—is entirely surrounded by water.

In fact, every single room at the condo has a water view. Slide open the glass doors to the north balcony with your favorite beverage and take in a particularly lovely view of both the Gulf of Mexico and Florida's Intracoastal Waterway where you will also find your own private grill the only condo in the complex offering the amenity.

A second balcony faces south with a view of the complex’s sparkling, heated pool. Want to be even closer to the water? At Bay Watch Bungalow, you also have complimentary access to the boat/fishing dock, so you can spend the day boating the Gulf or fishing its dazzling aquamarine waters.

We almost forgot to mention this is where the dolphins love to hangout at and entertain you. The beach itself is a one-minute stroll away, via a brick path.

After an afternoon of sunbathing on the beach, step into your cool, open condo. Tile floors soothe your bare feet and comfortable furnishings invite you to sit down and relax in the A/C. OTHER EXPERIENCES NOT TO MISS AT THE BAY WATCH BUNGALOW.

Wake up refreshed in either a California King or Queen bed, both with brand-new mattresses and mattress toppers. The guest room also offers a queen and twin bed; great for keeping little ones close. Brew a coffee or espresso in the kitchen, then head to the north balcony to watch a spectacular sunrise over the Bay.



Get ready for the day in two full, pristine bathrooms. Spend the morning on a stroll in the sun. Choose between a walk on the beach or perusing the nearby beach/gif/shell shops for that perfect souvenir. Walk to the end of Bridge St. Pier and tuck into a plate of oysters at the Anna Maria Island Oyster Bar for lunch.

All of this is easily accessible on foot from the condo! Swim in the Gulf's always-warm waters, sunbathe on the beach, or take a dip in the Bay Watch Bungalow's in-ground heated pool. The south balcony at the condo faces the pool, so you can keep an eye on the kids while they swim.

Grab dinner ingredients at the island's grocery—or the Walmart a 10-minute drive away on the mainland—and craft a meal in the full kitchen, which includes cabinets stocked with brand-new cookware and dishes. Load the dishwasher then head back to the balcony.

As evening falls, another lovely view awaits to close the day: watch the mainland's lights and boats sailing on the bay under the moonlight. WHAT’S NEW FOR YOUR STAY. The Bay Watch Bungalow has been entirely refreshed to be the ultimate island escape for guests. Upgrades include: State-of-the-art, ultra-high efficiency air conditioning system with all-new duct work Three new flat screen televisions Two entirely new bedrooms suites: new mattresses, bedding, towels, furniture, and window coverings included New, modern appliances in the kitchen Keyless door locks New ceiling fans New coffee/espresso maker Other new appliances: blender, toaster, food processor New dishes, glasses, cooking utensils and more Plus, there are perks that have been at The Bay Watch Bungalow for a while, but still make guests happy: High-speed wireless internet Two free parking spots under cover from Florida’s sun (important when there are 361 sunny days a year!) Private grill on the north-facing balcony which provides breathtaking views of both the Gulf and Bay Washer & dryer in your unit.

A signed lease agreement is required.

Cute Comfy Condo

My Mom, teenager daughter, and I stayed for two nights in this cute and comfy condo. It had everything we needed. Check in and check out was easy. The bed was comfortable. Quick walk to the beach. Nice heated pool. Terry provided all the information we needed and was easy to communicate with. I would recommend staying here.

The listing did not do this place justice

We LOVED this place. The picture do not do it justice. It was clean upon arrival and the dock was our favorite place the entire trip. The only possible thing I could think of to request would be a new nonstick frying pan and that is only because I love to cook. The kitchen was well stocked, there were fresh towels, and everything was very clean overall. I look forward to booking again! Hopefully next time it will be for a honeymoon!

Getaway for 2 to Anna Maria

Loved this condo and the location. We didn't even rent a car, we just walked to everything and spent a lot of time at Bridge Street businesses. Took the trolley or an Uber when walking was too far. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. It was just the two of us this time, but we would've had plenty of room if another couple had joined us. Would definitely book this condo again. Communication with property manager was quick and informative. Thanks so much!

Great location and condo

The property was quite nice and had lots of extra touches that I really appreciated. They had pump hand soap in each bathroom and the kitchen, as well as hand sanitizer, a thoughtful touch especially during COVID times. Also, I loved the Bright white fluffy towels, which made this feel like a high-end rental. Many properties that call themselves "premiere rental" often do not have such nice towels. I also appreciated the magnifying mirror in the master bath. The beds were very comfortable. Pool was lovely.

Amazing vacation!

Great location! Steps from bay and short walk to not so crowded beach. Property had anything you would need in unit. Stairs were necessary, so if you can’t make it up a few flights…this isn’t the property for you. We rented a golf cart, it was delivered to the unit. We were close to the trolly pick up. And walking distance to a couple resturaunts. Minutes from bridge street. And a short drive to Anna Maria sights and shopping, dining, ect. We had the best time!!! Thanks for having us!

Great stay!

Highly recommend this property- it is updated, clean, and close to everything. 1 minute to the beach, nice heated pool- what more do you need on Anna Maria Island? The host, Terry, was very informative and thorough and answered all of our questions quickly. The only thing I would update is the beach chairs- they were a little rusted and one had a rip in the seat but definitely better than no chairs at all! There were plenty of games for indoors and out as well which we really enjoyed. You really only need to bring yourself and your clothes to this property- they even had fully stocked toiletries in the bathrooms. Overall a 10 out of 10!

Lovely, Bright and Clean

We really enjoyed our stay at this recently renovated unit. We appreciated how clean the unit was, and how bright and airy it felt with it's many windows. It's located on the second floor so this might be an issue for ones with limited mobility. The kitchen size is suitable for a condo. It was fully equipped but we didn't use any of the appliances. It also has a 4-seater table. The master bedroom is large and spacious with lots of storage, TV, walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom. We also loved the balcony overlooking the pool. Lots of sun during the day. The second bedroom has a TV, dresser, queen bed, single bed, and also access to a full bathroom just outside the door. Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the shower heads in each bathroom. They're not terrible, just very basic. The living room & dining area has a large TV, comfy seating, dining table for 6, and balcony that faces north that looks out mostly to the side street and the bay. There are two covered parking spaces. The building is directly on the bay so you can sit on the dock out back and enjoy the view or just a short walk up the street to the beach. Beach chairs & towels are available in the unit. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this unit and hope to return.

A Quiet and Relaxing Condo

We loved this bright and roomy condo! It had everything we needed, and plenty of space. Everything was clean and comfortable. Had plenty of beach necessities and towels, so no need to pack those. The host was extremely helpful, we arrived early and had some groceries in the car, so we notified her and she let us right in. Also, was quick to get a replacement element for the stove when it wouldn’t work properly. The balconies are nice, the view of the bay is beautiful, especially at sunrise. We also loved the big pool, it was clean and felt great after a beach day. It is also in walking distance of a lot of restaurants and beach shops, and the beach is right across the street! I highly recommend this condo and would definitely stay again!

Condo was perfect for me and two teenagers. Excellent communication and responsiveness made the experience seamless. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen as I cooked a fair amount. A Keurig would be a nice update. Location is perfect. Beach is across the street, pool is warm and clean. The complex is very quiet with friendly individuals. Local restaurants are fantastic. There’s easy access to Publix, etc. so that’s helpful. Also parking with two spaces is great as finding public parking on the island would be a challenge. Will stay again!
