*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.

GETTING AROUND ANNA MARIA ISLAND

Service. Operating 365 days a year from six in the morning until ten thirty at night running every
20 minutes you will see green Anna Maria Island Trolleys traveling up and down the entire
length of Anna Maria Island. Daily service runs from the Anna Maria City Pier which is the
northern part of the Island, to Coquina Beach at the south. There are many stops all over the
Island, with a stop right out front of (Property Management). You will find Trolley stops
every two to four blocks and most have covered seating while you wait. Trolleys are air
conditioned and some offer open air-seating. You can continue on to surrounding areas,
including Bradenton, Longboat Key and Sarasota with MCAT (Manatee County Area Transit).
MCAT connects with the FREE Anna Maria Island Trolley and you can get on the Long Boat
Key Trolley and for .75 cents, ride it all the way to Sarasota and back. MCAT (Manatee County
Area Transit) partners with SCAT (Sarasota County Area Transit) in operating the Longboat Key
Trolley from Coquina Beach on Anna Maria Island to downtown Sarasota via Longboat Key and
St. Armand’s Circle. Daily service runs from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. every 60 minutes. Trolleys offer
both air conditioned and open-air seating. The Longboat Key trolley does not operate on major
holidays.
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
Cribs, cots, high chairs and other baby equipment can be arranged. Phone or visit their website to
reserve these items. They will deliver and set up the items and then collect them on the day you
leave. Cribs come complete with set of sheets. 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.

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
