We stayed in Suite 8 and it is gorgeous! The view from inside or on the deck was perfect, even better than it looked online. The resort is terrific - beautiful, very private and quiet. My brother and sister in law have been wintering in Florida for 20+ years and were impressed with the Rod and Reel. The finishes are superior and the beach is right outside the gate, the pool was beautifully lit at night, the kayaks were fun and we rode the bikes to restaurants and all over the island. The pool and hot tub were spotless and refreshing. The Rod and Reel Pier next door had good food and was so entertaining with people fishing all day long. We gravitated to it daily. Suzette was terrific to deal with and Ty & Tanya took great care of us and kept the resort in order, from providing whatever we needed to even raking the beach every day. Anna Maria has loads of great restaurants and is very scenic. It's easy to walk to many places, too. We're coming back to Suite 8 at the Rod and Reel next February.

Loved our stay at Rod and Reel , couldn't of asked for a nicer week.

A great place to stay right on the water, with nice amenities, clean rooms and kitchenette, and pool and hot tub. Good restaurant close by on the dock where you can rent poles to fish. Suzette, the owner, is very pleasant to deal with and goes above and beyond to ensure you have a nice experience.

What a great resort! Top notch with restaurants and beaches within walking distance. Very well maintained facility! Will be returning very soon for my 3rd stay!

Just returning back to reality after a week long stay at Rod and Reel Resort. In short, our stay was exceptional. We traveled with our young kids and the resort was absolutely perfect for a family vacation. The grounds are pristine--both from a cleanliness and aesthetic point of view. The rooms had just what we needed for a comfortable week--the bunk bed room was a bonus to setup the kids in while the main area could accommodate tv watching later into the evening. We were worried the kitchen was not a 'full size' kitchen, but it worked perfectly. The fridge was much large than expected and there was ample storage. We used the kayaks daily and appreciated not having to go through the hassle of a rental company. One small thing we appreciated the most---clean, new beach towels to use daily! Rod and Reel truly made everything so easy. Ty was incredibly personable and helpful, answering our many questions and going out of his way to check in on each guest's stay. We cannot wait to return, as this is certain to be a favorite vacation spot for our family.
