Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The owners had outstanding communication and really put effort into making sure we enjoyed our stay. Fairly convenient location because we liked Bridge St and it’s only a 1 mile walk. The beach is right across the street from the complex and there also a Trolly stop at the entrance. (Don’t count on the Trolly) The condo was very quiet, clean just a little dated with older appliances. Residents and guests were all very nice. Pool very clean and neat and sizable with plenty of chairs and tables. Couple parking spots are nice. It is a large complex so expect some time walking through the lot to get to your destination. We used Instacart for provisions. Very fast. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this unit if a friend asked and wasn’t expecting a lavish stay with amenities.

Very Nice Stay

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.

First Stay on AMI

We loved the location of this unit. Close to both exits off the island and within 13 to 30 minutes walk (or take the trolly!) to restaurants with live music. Short walk to the lovely beach and sunsets and short drive to other beaches. The unit was all we needed with pretty well stocked kitchen. Beds could have been a bit more comfortable but the unit is very quiet for sleeping. Great water pressure in shower & lovely balcony to sit with our coffee & listen to the water fountain in the little pond. Enjoyed the tv in the bedroom & how both bedrooms had ensuites with their own enclosed areas. The pool is close by and the area felt safe. Thank you for a very enjoyable and restful stay!!

Good vibes

What is there to say other than the hosts doing their best to keep up informed during the hurricane. They were great. We hope to repeat our trip next year as well. The apartment is well kept, very near the beach. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Pricing is good as well. A little disappointed with the previous renters. They did not take off the sand from the beach chairs. We hope the hosts will allow us to rent again sometime next year.

Apartment in a great location

Apartment in a great location. Short way to the beach. Great pool. Nice apartment, communication with the landlord very nice. The bed in the bedroom was a bit saggy. The apartment could have been a little cleaner. But these are just small things. We felt very comfortable.

2nd time visiting AMI

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.

Great Spring break

We enjoyed our stay. Condo was comfortable. We enjoyed the beach not far away and the pool was warm and deep. My son went twice a day. We also enjoyed a sunrise on the channel just steps away. We really like the keyless entry especially with teenagers coming and going. The guest pass was great when friends came to visit. It was clean and kitchen was well-stocked for our needs. There were a few light bulbs that were out or missing. Would definitely recommend! Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Tim

Host profile image
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.
