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.

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

The Rod and Reel is one of my favorite places to stay! The rooms are super clean and the property is beautiful. The staff is very responsive and accommodating. It's the best of both worlds, fishing on the Bayside of the property and a quick walk to the beautiful beach. I actually stayed two weeks prior to this visit, with a friend, and had to come back and bring my kids. The kids loved the use of the bikes, kayaks and pool. Can't wait to return!!

This resort was a dream come true for a spring break destination! Four families rented the entire resort together, and we could not have been more pleased. From the host that checked in on us regularly to the separate but together accommodations, we could not have asked for anything more! Everything was clean and beautifully kept up. We can't wait to come again-- and are coming again! This is truly the best destination for multi-families or one extended family. We had a wonderful time!

This is our second stay at the Rod and Reel Resort. We loved the location, the pool, the cleanliness of the resort and it had all of the amenities we were looking for. A great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings of Anna Maria Island. We are looking forward to our return to this resort in the near future!
