Just returning back to reality after a week long stay at Rod and Reel Resort. In short, our stay was exceptional. We traveled with our young kids and the resort was absolutely perfect for a family vacation. The grounds are pristine--both from a cleanliness and aesthetic point of view. The rooms had just what we needed for a comfortable week--the bunk bed room was a bonus to setup the kids in while the main area could accommodate tv watching later into the evening. We were worried the kitchen was not a 'full size' kitchen, but it worked perfectly. The fridge was much large than expected and there was ample storage. We used the kayaks daily and appreciated not having to go through the hassle of a rental company. One small thing we appreciated the most---clean, new beach towels to use daily! Rod and Reel truly made everything so easy. Ty was incredibly personable and helpful, answering our many questions and going out of his way to check in on each guest's stay. We cannot wait to return, as this is certain to be a favorite vacation spot for our family.

The entire experience was effortless, exactly how we wanted it to be. We have never been so relaxed and stress free in our lives. The beautiful suites, the lush landscaping, the spotless pool and spa , only made better by the continual crash of the waves and smell of the salt air. Ty was amazing and there for anything we needed or any questions we had . We return to Minnesota with a recharged battery and owe it to the Rod and Reel ! Can’t wait for winter, to return!

I don't even know where to begin! This was our 2nd stay at the resort and I will never stay anywhere else! The property and location are amazing! Suzette, the owner, is so easy and pleasant to work with and Ty, the property manager, is the best of the best! Every day we stayed here we saw dolphins, stingray and manatee! We were able to use the complimentary paddle boards and kayaks every day as well! We hardly even left the resort! I just cannot say enough good things about this place and Anna Maria <3

We are so excited!!!.. we just booked our stay at the Rod and Reel Resort for 3/2021.. thank you Suzette for your time and generosity on the phone.. We have talked with you a couple times before and you have always been so sweet, kind and helpful.. Can't wait for a our post honeymoon vacation!

Perfect location. Been to Anna Maria many times but this was our favourite spot. The grounds were so relaxing and nice to be right on the beach and beside the pier. Suzette was helpful organizing details for our toddler. Highly recommend this place and hope to return in the future
