Lake Wailes Park

My wife and I have never been to Anna Maria Island and Holmes beach before so we chose the Cedar Cove Resort. It was a small resort with an older touch such as the buildings and such. It kinda took us back a bit at first but we settled in just fine. The Flamingo suite we stayed in was nice but very small and had some older decor. The suite did come with all the amenities fridge, electric stove, sink coffee maker which by the way was a Nespresso machine which was cool but not everyone likes espresso style coffee. The suite had a pull out bed couch , table, and wooden chairs all in the living room. Then the king bed was in the next room with the bathroom. Only complaints about this is we felt there should be a door separating the bedroom from the living room for quiet and privacy. Bathroom had a barn door from the bedroom. Bed was awesome!!! Very comfortable. Again , not to complain but the room reminded me of a studio apartment then a resort suite. Room was clean upon arrival but found some dirty dishes in the cabinets which we ended up having to clean. So just bit disappointed in the suite we chose. The beach area was breathtaking!! No complaints there. Staff was great !! So overall Anna Maria Island doesn’t fit our life style as we didn’t know how bad traffic is, the lack of good restaurants besides the Daquiri Deck and the Hurricane Hanks were awesome!!! Holy cow ice cream was fabulous as well. Too busy of an area for us . Looking for more low keyed atmosphere.

The staff was friendly, fun and helpful during our stay. The elegant room exceeded our expectations and we thoroughly enjoy each day of our vacation.

Beautiful property. Great service
