About This Home
​Hurricane Update:

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.

*With our continued desire to provide a superior guest experience we offer all our guests a professional linen service which includes freshly laundered sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, hand towels, beach towels, wash cloths, dish cloths and bath matts.*

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.

TRAVEL Direct flights from the UK and the rest of Europe Airport Distances from Anna Maria Island: Tampa Airport 1 hr Orlando Airport 2 hrs Miami Airport 5 hrs Sarasota Airport 20 minutes (for connecting flights from other American airports such as New York, Atlanta or Washington) Fort Myers Airport 2.5 hrs MEDICAL AND EMERGENCY Do not leave home without taking out a Travel Insurance that also covers medical emergencies. Make sure your insurance covers you for travel in America. The excellent Pinnacle Medical walk-in clinic (similar to UK GPs – General Practitioners) for minor accidents and ailments is just over on the mainland – approx 10 minutes drive. Blake Hospital comes highly recommended by many island residents. It is a large, modern and extremely well equipped hospital that offers a comprehensive range of medical services. Dr Guy Yatros at Island Dental Spa offers emergency dental treatment for visitors. GETTING AROUND ANNA MARIA ISLAND: We have two excellent local taxi services who will take you anywhere on the island or over to the mainland. Also why not try out the little island trolley that runs up and down the island, passing by every 20 minutes. There are plenty of stops and it is a great way to explore. It also has a bike rack on the front so if you want to cycle out and ride back this is a fun way to travel. Orlando is the world’s number one attraction which draws huge crowds. Lining up with children for hours in the Florida heat is extremely tiring, so make sure you have plenty to drink and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. A whole week of theme parks is exhausting. Our suggestion for a really enjoyable vacation is to unwind after your flight on the island and enjoy the sun, sea and sand, then make a one or two day excursion to Disney during the course of your vacation. We are happy to advise you on obtaining inexpensive overnight accommodation in Orlando. TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN: Make sure small children wear sun hats, T-shirts and sunblock to prevent sunburn. Nearby shops sell them, plus a great range of beach toys, buckets & spades. Walgreens and Eckerd both pharmacies which sell many baby items plus prescription and non prescription drugs. SHOPPING: Prices in Florida are generally much less expensive than in Europe. We have excellent casual and beachwear on the island. For really serious shoppers the nearby town of Bradenton is home to an incredible factory outlet mall where you can “shop till you drop”. Also really worth a visit is De Soto Mall just over on the mainland, with three large department stores, diverse small shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Trainers, sports gear, cosmetics, sunglasses, luxury name brand clothing lines, jewelry, shoes, CDs, cameras plus a myriad of other items. CLOTHING: Make your journey easy, travel light. You have a large washer and dryer in your vacation home – you can buy great beach clothes & swimsuits here on island. Bring a light jacket for cooler evenings in winter months and wear cool comfortable cottons and sunhats/shades. If you are planning to take a trip up to Busch Gardens in Tampa or Disney in Orlando wear comfortable trainers. ISLAND INFORMATION: We place a local information file in your vacation property with the answer to almost every question that has been asked of us by our guests. This contains emergency numbers, contact information, getting around, things to do and places to visit, info on your property, services, taxis, local restaurants and general island info. Our two local island newspapers can always be picked up at Publix Grocery store on the island and are a mine of information for visitors on local events, new restaurants to visit, fishing news and all the local gossip. The Anna Maria Island chamber of commerce office also has a plethora of maps, brochures and leaflets plus info on local tennis courts, golf, water sports, boat & jetski rental, scuba diving, boat trips, fishing trips and area events.
