"What an incredible stay!! 5 stars all around! From location, clean and beautifully decorated place, friendly owners, and easy check in/check out, we will definitely return! My 18 year old son loves to fish non stop when we visit here, so being right next to the pier was a huge reason we couldn’t wait to surprise him with this stay. He catches flounder, snook, tarpon, trout, etc on the AMOB pier. The location is also just a quick walk to the beach, as well as restaurants and shopping. Every time we visit we love going to Island Time for dinner and drinks with the live bands, but we got to try the Bamboo Island Bar for dinner and it was DELICIOUS!we can’t wait to return, and will lost definitely stay at this place again or one of Rex’s other properties!

Villas By The Sea #2, Anna Maria Island Condo, one block from beach, heated pool
10/10 Excellent
"The place was perfect. Two beach chairs, a small beach bag, and a small cooler to take to the beach were thoughtful accessories that made our trip easier. The pool was peaceful. We were able to walk to a few great restaurants. The coin laundry on site made it easier for us to pack light. This place was perfect in every way. "
"This resort is in a perfect location. Easy access to the beach, on-site pool, shopping, and dining. The staff is exceptional, from the front desk to the parking attendant. They are friendly, welcoming, informative and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and stocked with all the essentials. We have stayed here many times and are never disappointed."
Bayfront Villa: Dock, Walk to Beach and Bridge Street
10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay here. A very peaceful community and easy walk to the pier and beach. The check in process was a little confusing. No email or text was received for check in so we had to call. Although they were very helpful when we did. The listing said it was a lockbox code but it’s actually a keyless entry. The property was very clean and updated inside. Great water view! It was an older house so it had lower ceilings and window A/C units which was fine for the one night we stayed. We would stay again! "
"Lovely property. Our 2 bed/2 bath condo was clean, well appointed and the kitchen was well stocked with essentials. The grounds are beautiful with direct beach access. There is a trolley stop on front of the property making travel very convenient. Would definitely book another stay. "
