If you are looking for beautiful accommodations on the beach in one of the most beautiful places in Florida, we would highly recommend The Rod and Reel Resort, Anna Maria Island. This is our third visit to The Rod and Reel Resort and we are looking to book again in the near future. Thank you to all staff and the owners for providing such a peaceful retreat.

Have been coming to Anna Maria Is for 20 years and the Rod and Reel is perfectly located on the north end of the island close to everything. If you want a great weekend or a “get away” week that is truly memorable do not hesitate. Your stay will take you to your happy place!

My now-husband and I rented the entire resort for our family and friends to stay with us for the destination wedding of our dreams! We had our wedding reception back at the resort and it worked out perfectly. The whole week was incredibly relaxing and perfect for what we were trying to accomplish. We stayed in suite 8 and used it as the main gathering place due to the large amount of space in the kitchen/living room. Can't beat those views, either! It was so great that everyone was together but had their own space, too. The kids were in the pool from sun up to sundown almost every day! We are already trying to find a way to bring everyone back for another long stay. We can't recommend the Rod and Reel enough for giving us the best place to start our new lives together!

Another amazing stay at The Rod and Reel Resort. Thank you to Suzette and Ty for their exceptional service. Looking forward to returning again soon!

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.
