This place was beyond our expectation. Loved everything about it. Super nice!!! Will be going again in the fall.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the rod and reel resort but I do have a few comments that could have improved our stay. First, let me thank Ty for his prompt service to all of our needs. My first comment is that the set up of the bedrooms was not clear in the description...we did not realize we had to walk through the first bedroom to get to the 2nd bedroom....awkward for 2 couples as opposed to a family. Next...the king size bedroom needed some hooks or "over the door" hangers so we could hang bathrobes or other articles of clothing. We had no closet so it was difficult to keep the room neat. We definitely enjoyed having the facilities to cook a few meals but were lacking simple utensils and potholders. Also, the throw rug in the living room needed to be cleaned or replaced. A few simple things would have made your rating a 5. The pool, hot tub, and grounds ...including the concrete ping pong table were great!! A little TLC to the bicycles like new handles and a good cleaning of the seats was greatly needed. It was great to have beach chairs, kayaks, and paddle boards to enjoy and the location is superb.

We stayed in Suite 8 and it is gorgeous! The view from inside or on the deck was perfect, even better than it looked online. The resort is terrific - beautiful, very private and quiet. My brother and sister in law have been wintering in Florida for 20+ years and were impressed with the Rod and Reel. The finishes are superior and the beach is right outside the gate, the pool was beautifully lit at night, the kayaks were fun and we rode the bikes to restaurants and all over the island. The pool and hot tub were spotless and refreshing. The Rod and Reel Pier next door had good food and was so entertaining with people fishing all day long. We gravitated to it daily. Suzette was terrific to deal with and Ty & Tanya took great care of us and kept the resort in order, from providing whatever we needed to even raking the beach every day. Anna Maria has loads of great restaurants and is very scenic. It's easy to walk to many places, too. We're coming back to Suite 8 at the Rod and Reel next February.

Our stay for 3 nights was perfect. The room was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed in it. We parked our car when we arrived and never got in it till we left. We ate most of our meals at the Pier next door and watched the sunrise each morning. Wish we could have stayed longer, we'll be back.

Beautiful new resort on old footprint! Great location on Anna Maria Island…..first class amenities. Loved spending the week with you. Fritz and Susie are special hosts.
