We brought our three sons, their wives and their kids and used suites 1, 2, 3 and 8. There could not have been a better place for us to enjoy a family vacation. Everything Suzette told us about the resort was true. The rooms were great. Suite 8 easily fit the 12 of us and was continuously used. The grandkids would come in and wake us up leaving their parents to sleep a little more. The hot tub and pool were perfect. We used every toy in the place, especially the kayaks and many of us got up close and personal with the dolphins who swam by every morning and sometimes could be seen feeding just beyond the pier. The dolphins were the highlight. The restaurants in the area were great. We walked around the point when we wanted wind and waves, and stayed on our beach when we wanted quiet. Our only suggestions is to put up more hooks in the bathroom in suite 8. And it says so much about the people in the resort when the kids left a day early and we were refunded those nights after they filled with new people. That was not expected. We will be back. A significant added bonus is that the resort allows for COVID safety and it turned out that everyone was vaccinated which was even better. Thank you.

The Rod and Reel is one of my favorite places to stay! The rooms are super clean and the property is beautiful. The staff is very responsive and accommodating. It's the best of both worlds, fishing on the Bayside of the property and a quick walk to the beautiful beach. I actually stayed two weeks prior to this visit, with a friend, and had to come back and bring my kids. The kids loved the use of the bikes, kayaks and pool. Can't wait to return!!

If you are looking for beautiful accommodations on the beach in one of the most beautiful places in Florida, we would highly recommend The Rod and Reel Resort, Anna Maria Island. This is our third visit to The Rod and Reel Resort and we are looking to book again in the near future. Thank you to all staff and the owners for providing such a peaceful retreat.

This was our 4th stay in Suite 8 and we're going back again later this month, and are planning to return next year. The Rod & Reel Resort is incredible - beautiful, quiet, relaxing, so close to the water and next to the entertaining Rod & Reel Pier. It's nice to have bikes, kayaks and paddle boards included to avoid the hassle of renting them from elsewhere. They even have beach toys onsite for the kids. We've met so many friendly guests from all over the US at this small, intimate 8 room resort. We wholeheartedly recommend staying here whether with family, friends or just as a couple.

This was our first trip to Rod and Reel Resort and Anna Maria Island. We could not be happier with our stay at the resort. Everything is first class, with only 8 rooms is it such a relaxing and quiet place. The Resort Manager, Ty, was great! Very personable and always helpful when we asked questions or needed anything. The accomodations are of the highest quality, would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you! Tim and Hope
