Newly Renovated - 1 Block from the Beach, Walk to Bars, Restaurants & Shopping!

    The Haven at Bay Watch is newly renovated … everything from the walls in is brand new. The Haven is hidden away and quiet so if you’re looking for tranquility, with a contemporary flare, just minutes from all the fun – this one is for you!

    You will be a one block walk from the white sandy beaches and just steps away from the bay. You’ll also be walking distance to Anna Maria Island's best waterfront restaurants and the quaint shopping village on historic Bridge Street.

    Leave your car in one of the two covered parking spaces and walk or take the free trolley up and down the Island. There is a large pool (with outdoor shower and restrooms) for your use when you prefer that to the beach, and a new dock for fishing or relaxing within steps of your unit. Inside you will find a brand new modern kitchen with all the things you will need to prepare your own meals when you prefer to stay in.

    This 2 bedroom 2 bath (1100 sf), 2nd floor unit will sleep four with a king size bed in the main bedroom and a queen bed in the guest bedroom. There is a new 55” television in the living room, a new 48" television in each of the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

One block from beautiful beach! Sunrises over the bay! Truly fantastic! Condo was very clean and kitchen was well stocked. The new Tommy Bahama beach chairs and beach buggy were greatly appreciated. Heated pool was never crowded. Diane was incredibly responsive to questions. Top notch stay!

This was the best VRBO experience we’ve had. The communication from Diane was wonderful and the condo was amazing, even better than the pictures show. Fully stocked with everything you can imagine. The location can’t be beat. It’s so quiet that you forget that other people are around. Our kids are begging us to return again next year. Can honestly say we don’t need much convincing

Beach getaway

Nicely remodeled 2 bedroom condo. It is on the 3rd floor, but that is nice because you don’t have anyone above you. Kids loved the pool and it was a short walk to the beach. Beach chairs and towels were provided. We would definitely stay here again.

I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting. The beds are more comfortable than at home and all the amnenities including beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers etc. are available for you.

Everything you need

Our stay at Diane’s was perfect from the lovely message we received upon booking to the helpful checkout reminders when leaving. The location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but easily walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. The condo was stocked with everything we needed so we cooked quite a few meals there. Also the beds were super cozy. It truly is a haven.

Vacationing at Anna Maria Island

Beautiful newly renovated condo with gorgeous bathrooms. The pictures don’t do this unit justice, you won’t be disappointed in this beautiful condo. The parking is safe and comes with two parking spaces. The beach is a short walk up the street. Great communication from the host! The unit is conveniently located to restaurants and gift shops.

worked perfectly

great location, very clean, easy to communicate with, would stay again. the beach directly across from the development is beautiful and super easy to walk to. the new construction near the side of the unit is fairly progressed along and the sound wasn't bothersome at all. the place does not have a view of water, but it's a testament to how much we liked it that we would stay again even without that.

Diane was great to deal with. We were set to come in 2 days after the hurricane. She was very straightforward about what we could expect so we didn’t go into our stay blind. We had a good idea what we would be dealing with. The inside of the condo looked new and clean we hope we left it the way we found it😊 we would stay down there again.

Wonderful Condo on AMI

Condo was very, very nicely renovated. One of the nicest I have stayed. Newly designed kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Overlooks pool - partial bay/ water views from side bedroom windows. Pool was heated and perfectly warm, despite cool weather. Everyone at complex was friendly. 7-10 restaurants within walking distance. Every place we ate at was very good (Beach House, Sandbar, Anna Maria Oyster Bar, Wicked Cantina, ice cream shops). Make sure you visit Anna Maria Pier and beach on north end of island as well as Bridge Street (1/4 mi south of condo).

Absolutely AMAZING!

The description of this property made it sounds amazing but actually BEING THERE was on another level. Everything you could ever need is in this condo. From the beach towels, beach chairs, plenty of comfy seating, dining room, FULLY STOCKED kitchen from appliances to cooking utensils, super comfy mattresses and bedding and SO SPACIOUS! Parking was a plus with 2 spots (one to accommodate the golf cart we rented) and a full-size SUV under shelter! The location was so convenient to everything on the island and the bay is literally 10 steps away and the beach is a 3 min walk. The host was very attentive and responded immediately. I cannot wait to stay here again.

Great location and host!

We have come to AMI for many, many years. This unit is located in a great spot because you are relatively centrally located on the island and can easily get to either bridge. The walk to the beach is not long and having the pier and bay in the back is nice. The beach is not busy in this stretch which is a huge bonus, even at peak times like April. You can also walk to several restaurants and even walk to Bridge St if you want to (about 15min walk). The unit itself is set up very well and probably stocked the best of any place we've ever stayed probably in terms of kitchen items, bathroom items, etc. It's decorated nicely and the pics on the listing are representative of the actual unit! Host was FANTASTIC with communication and easy to work with. Would book again!

Wonderful Stay!

First of all, the condo was exceptionally clean, which is always my #1 requirement! Totally updated. Beds were very comfortable! Great water pressure in showers! Everything we needed for the beach, which was right across the street from our condo, was supplied, i.e. beach chairs, umbrellas, towels. The pictures on VRBO are exactly as the property is in real life. The location was great because we didn’t rent a car, and didn’t feel we needed one! We took the trolley or walked wherever we went. Diane, our host, was extremely responsive when we had a question. We would definitely stay there again! Book it, you won’t be sorry!

Haven at Bay Watch

This was our first time on Anna Maria Island. The Haven at Bay Watch offers the ideal location and amenities for an enjoyable, relaxing stay on the island. Walk one block and you’re on the magnificent beach. Walk a few blocks south and you’re walking down Historic Bridge street. The accommodations are superb - modern, updated and stylish. Everything that you need for a perfect getaway is on site, including beach chairs, beach umbrellas and pool towels. The kitchen has all of the accessories you need for your stay. The heated pool - steps from your villa - is refreshing on those 100% sunshine days. Diane, your host, is a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive to any concern or question. The Haven at Bay Watch is the ideal villa for a great stay on Anna Maria Island.

Best host ever! Diane promptly responded to all messages I sent from the moment I booked all the way to checkout. She was kind and willing to answer questions and offer suggestions about things to do in the AMI area. She has the unit stocked with all of the essentials and then some. Great quality kitchen/cooking gear, towels and comfortable beds. The master bed was like sleeping on a cloud while still providing good support — I’m going to miss it!Pictures online accurately reflect the unit as it is in person. It is decorated nicely and VERY clean! I am a person that tends to be particular and critical to cleanliness, organization and overall quality. Diane did not neglect attention to detail when furnishing and stocking the unit. She and her cleaning crew do an impeccable job at making sure the unit stays clean and well maintained. Everything about our stay was excellent!The condo building (Baywatch) sits directly on the bay and is well kept. It is only a tiny walk to the beach due to this area of the island being narrow, so don’t let that stop you from booking here. No elevator, but stair flights are short and shouldn’t be an issue for anyone with full mobility. Each unit has 2 marked covered parking spots. Our Ram 2500 (6.4 feet bed) cleared height, but had there been vehicles parked in the spots across from ours we feel like we possibly would not have been able to get in & out of our spot. The spots are perfectly fine for average length vehicles.We plan to return!!!

Our winter get away

We had a really lovely week on Anna Maria, enjoying the island and this condo. Diane was great to communicate with and the condo was excellent in many ways. Our only issue , which would not even be an issue for many others, was the two flights of stairs up to the unit. We have stayed in other similar situations on the 2nd floor, but there has always been access to an elevator. One of our group has a medical condition that requires a 70 lb. medical device that needed to be carried up and back down those stairs along with 30 12lb bags of water and other luggage. In our situation we will be more careful to look for an elevator in the building in the future. The unit was clean and nicely redone. The location and parking were excellent.
