This is a beautiful island that has it all. A great place to lay back and relax. You don’t even need a car to move around. This is paradise in Florida.

A great place to relax.

Smuggler's Cove Resort

Best Things Nearby:
The best things nearby are the intercostals and the beach. You can rent jet skies or go fishing or snorkeling. The nightlife is great.

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort is very nice and clean. The rooms have everything you need. They are fully stocked, and the staff is more than happy to help you with anything you need. They provide everything, from beach chairs to beach toys to fishing rods. Everything you could probably need is included.

Resort Experience:
This resort has all the accessories for both the pool and beach. It had plenty of pool toys for the kids to play with. In the parking garage, there is storage where they keep all the beach toys and beach chairs. The pool was always sparkling clean and had a wonderful covered area for those who wished to keep out of the sun. The beach was just across the street and was very beautiful. There is a trolley that comes to every trolley stop every 20 minutes. It will take you all over the island and back again. There is no need for a car, unless you want to leave the island. The restaurants there were nice and simple, and the food was good. The people on Anna Maria Island are all so very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go there again.

If you are looking for a nice private place to get away and have fun, this is the place to go. The resort is in a very nice location. If you walk to the back of the resort, it’s like walking in to a park on the intercostals, complete with grills and all. There is a dock/pier you can fish from. The resort provides rods if you need them. On the other side of the resort, you have the beach with beautiful white sands and crystal-clear blue water. On the grounds you will find a wonderful pool and hot tub. The rooms will make you feel right at home with a large TV and everything you will ever need in a kitchen. It is a wonderful place to have a relaxing vacation.
