We stayed in suite 4 for one week and transitioned to suite 7 for a second week. The move was smooth. The palm tree garden decor of the lughted swimming pool and spa central area was delightful. The included beach equipment was great fun. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean and the staff was very available and helpful. This was our sixth year of vacationing in rental properties on Anna Maria Island and this was definitely our best year yet.

If you have the opportunity to reserve your stay at The Rod & Reel Resort, do it! You will have had made the best decision. This place is CLEAN. Sparkling clean in fact. We were fortunate enough to go on a weekend when we shared the resort with a handful of people, so the pool/beach/deck were basically ours. Where else can you get that? The guests sharing the resort were all friendly, kind and courteous. The place is lush, beautiful, and modern. Top of the line. Cannot wait to return!

Wow ! What a great spot to escape the world. Suzette did an exceptional job with the décor in each room. The attention to detail on the grounds and rooms is well done. Everything is exceptionally clean and well kept. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfy. With cooking options in your room and on site BBQ’s you do not even have to leave if you do not want to. The pool and spa area is spacious and inviting. The beach is white sand and excellent for swimming and beachcombing. Lots of sea life we were fortunate to see Manatees, Rays, Dolphins and a wide variety of other fish. The on site bikes get you over to Bean Point (Amazing Sunsets) in minutes or down to Pine avenue to the General Store for snacks treats and libations. The intimacy of the resort lets you get to know other travelers staying as well. The group staying at the same time were great and we shared many drinks and dinners. Also lots of dining options close by. Oops almost forgot on site Kayaks, paddle boards and ping pong for use any time. Highly recommend this resort!! Cheers !

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

This was our third stay in Suite 8 and it was wonderful, as usual. The kitchen and deck are incredible - we spend a lot of time on the expansive deck which is just feet from the water. The pool is great and is colorfully lit at night. The other guests have been extremely friendly and easy to talk with. We use the bikes to ride all over and enjoy the kayaks. I may try to paddle board next time. The Rod and Reel Pier is steps away and we spend time over there every day, watching the fishing and eating upstairs. We've booked two more stays over the winter and can't wait to go back.
