Our first and favorite place to stay on the island. Lori is/was fantastic. We feel like we lost a little of us with our favorite no longer is there/available. Damn storm. We have only great memories from here .
We stayed here for our honeymoon, the staff were so incredibly accommodating and polite. The room was a great size, kitchenette, bathroom, bed were clean and comfortable. Only a minute or two walk to the beach. This easily became a favorite of ours on the trip, I can't wait to go back again
The atmosphere of this place is so welcoming. Lori is wonderful and goes above and beyond for her guests, allowing them access to bikes, beach towels, and chairs. The walk to the beach is easy and the pool and hot tub are clean and relaxing. We will certainly be returning for years to come.
We got married on Anna Maria Island and we stayed here along with the rest of my family and friends. I could not of asked for a better place to have everyone stay. Lori was absolutely awesome to work with. The place has everything you need and more. Having beach access right out your door just a few steps away was awesome and to come back to a clean pool and hot tub. It is also very quiet clean and relaxing. I would for sure recommend this place to stay. We will be back for sure. Thank you again Lori for all you did
Location pretty much as close as you could get to bean point Beach. Amazing location! Best beach! Towels, umbrellas and chairs available to borrow. Lori was helpful with questions and advice and was around each morning. We had room #9 which looks to be recently renovated and it was very nice with a pullout couch. Plenty of hot water and amenities in the room. It was like a 2 bed/1 bath cottage and was private. We would love to come back! A few small things need to be fixed/looked at and I will send an email. For how well this place is maintained, I have no doubt they will look into it. Great affordable option with just a short walk just steps to the beach! The rod and reel is a short 4 min walk also for a drink or food.
My family stays at the resort once a year and we always have a pleasant experience. The room and grounds are clean and inviting. Lori is great to work with as well! We truly enjoy being so close to the beach and the nice pool area. We also love that there is a grill available for use and most rooms have a kitchnette which is beneficial for our long stay. Thank you for making our yearly vacation a great one year after year!
A whimsical little motel reminiscent of old Florida. The rooms are older, the design is kind of dated, but that all adds to the charm. The owners are very nice and easy going. Rooms have a kitchen with some dishes and items so you can do a little home cooking if you wish. Beach access is great, I leave my shoes in the room and just head over. Don't feel like walking? Use the pool, it's always been clean and warm. If you want to take a break from the big commercial places and take a step back in time, I recommend.
My friend and I stayed in the Dolphin room for a weekend girls trip. It was fantastic! The room was super clean and was bigger than what it seemed like in the photos. The shower had plenty of hot water and the pressure was great. Best of all, it takes barely 1-2 mins to walk to the beach. Beautiful sunsets! We loved our stay and hope to come back.
This down-to-earth motel in a residential neighborhood is a 4-minute walk from the beach and 12 miles from Brandenton.
