We traveled to Anna Maria Island for the first time this year and brought 2 (4,7) of our 3 kids. Stayed 5 nights in Suite 3 and can not say enough good things about this place. The concept of just 8 suites was really neat and we enjoyed resort life without all craze of resort size. There was never a rush to grab a seat at the pool/bar area and we got to meet some really cool families that were also staying there. Everyone respects the resort and treats the place like a one big shared home. There are plenty of kayaks, paddle boards, pool floats & chairs for guests and from what we experienced, everyone is willing to share even their own pool & beach toys. We left everything we bought at the pool for the next family to use because we loved that idea. Ty is the property manager and does a great job making sure everyone is taken care of. Suzette the owner was a gem to work with and I was understanding of anything we asked of her and did her best to accommodate. The location is a short walk and even shorter drive to the beautiful Bean Point Beach. Dining and shops are just a couple miles away and can be easily accessed by foot, bike or car. I recommend dining at the Waterfront, which is just down the street and if you're looking for some great lunch, check out the Rod & Reel pier. If you're planning on grabbing a couple cocktails too, the bar downstairs has prices you wouldn't believe. We also had a blast renting a couple poles from said Pier and did a little fishing with kids. We'll definitely be back with the whole family!

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!

My husband booked the Rod and Reel as a surprise 20th Wedding Anniversary trip for the two of us. I can't begin to describe how absolutely awesome this resort is, so clean and just immaculate. The amenities are just out of this world. Perfect for a family trip....We are already planning another trip to this resort at the end of May! And maybe back for our winter trip in December. The resort was quiet and private....can't wait to get back. The staff was outstanding!!!

Suzette pays attention to every detail to ensure an amazing vacation! The location is absolutely perfect for this wonder-full resort. Breathtaking views in every direction. Easy access to the Rod and Reel pier for the best fishing, ice cold draft beer and some delicious food choices as well. Beautiful large size saltwater pool and spa, along with some perfect areas for games, relaxing and enjoying the outside tranquility. Don't hesitate - book this one today!!

This was our first trip to Rod and Reel Resort and Anna Maria Island. We could not be happier with our stay at the resort. Everything is first class, with only 8 rooms is it such a relaxing and quiet place. The Resort Manager, Ty, was great! Very personable and always helpful when we asked questions or needed anything. The accomodations are of the highest quality, would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you! Tim and Hope
