Awesome Stay at Runaway Bay
Anna was a terrific host and her place exceeded all our expectations. 2 Pickleball courts were used every day and we met some incredibly nice guests during our stay. Only downside was the Red Tide which precluded us from using the beach as often as we would have liked! Highly recommend this property!

Great location & condo!
We really enjoyed our stay, the location was right by the beach so it easy each day to make our way to the ocean! The place was clean, good linens and comfortable beds. They had outdoor chairs, wagon and umbrella to use which was greatly appreciated! The only opportunity to improve was more cookware in the kitchen but that's person preference since we cook-in to save money. High recommend this listing!

We loved this condo at Runaway Bay .Anna provided everything we needed including comforter mattresses, bedding and towels. Next time we will bring our own pickleball paddles. Last time we were at Runaway Bay we could check some out at the office and they no longer have any.

Annual Girls Trip
We are all either currently working in the school system or retired from the public school system. We started taking a summer trip together 12 years ago, only missing 2 years, 1 for Covid and 1 because one of us was battling cancer. We truly enjoy this time to catch up, relax, get some sun, eat and drink adult beverages. This was our first time in the Anna Maria Island area and we had a terrific time finding new places to eat and hang out. Thank you for your beautiful condo.

review of our stay 4/6-4/13
We throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo! It has a very well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room furniture, entire condo is very clean, all the linens, towels, beach chairs and wagon provided take to the beach. Beds were also comfortable. The patio was wonderful to seat on all times of the day, with the local birds becoming our pets; Fred(great egret), Wilma ( small egret), Red Boots ( Ibis) and Floyd ( grey Heron). They were very friendly, and became part of our family. The Owner is very responsive to questions, and gets back to you very Quickly. We enjoyed the pool and shuffle board courts and a nice walk to the canal where some were fishing from the dock. We all had a relaxing and lovely stay in this condo and the community of Runaway Bay. We hope to return soon.

Great location
Property had a great location, liked the 2 bed, 2 bath, kitchen, and washer and dryer. The beach items were very worn. The beach towels and small cooler were very nice for sure! The showers could use a spray hose to help with washing kids hair and getting the sand out of the shower. The internet, pool, gym codes were different than what was listed, but someone let us in the pool and gave us the code. She was quick to respond when asked about the internet so no issue there. The area was really nice and safe for sure. Overall, a good experience. Things are a little dated but that doesn’t matter much to us, it was more about the location.

Bradenton
The unit was very well supplied. We were very surprised to find out the beach was across the street from us because according to the pictures we had the impression we walked out of the building and the beach was there. Unfortunately, the condo was not clean. The kitchen was pretty good, but Whoever vacuumed did a terrible job and we found other peoples receipts and one of the bedrooms. The worst thing I saw was a very old hairbrush loaded with hair and one of the bathroom drawers. I did not use any drawers in that room after that. Aside from the cleanliness, though, we were satisfied with the condo.
