About this apartment rental
What a gem of a spot to spend your Anna Maria Island vacation! This lovely two bedroom, two bath condo is directly bayfront offering amazing views, yet only a 3 minute walk to the beach!
WHEN RENTING GOLF CARTS - GAS ONLY. NO ELECTRIC
The guest bedroom in Bay Watch 3B, which has two twin beds, can now optionally be set up as a King bed (via a bed bridge kit between two twins), making it a more versatile setup. The default setup will be two twins with the bed bridge insert kit located in the guest closet.
Bed configuration:
-Master bedroom – One King Bed (with ensuite full bathroom)
-Second bedroom – Two Twins or can be set up as One King Bed (with dedicated full bathroom)
-Living room – New Queen Sleeper Sofa
So many features will make this roomy, light, and bright, nearly 1,100 square foot Bay Watch 3B condo a place you return to year after year! The kitchen was recently updated, with new plank flooring, and freshly painted walls and ceiling. It features beautifully remodeled bathrooms, comfortable furnishings, flat-panel televisions in the living room and both bedrooms, ceiling fans in both bedrooms and in the living room, and a stacking washer and dryer right in the unit. Your master retreat consists of dual vanities and a large walk-in closet. The sliders and windows were also replaced 2021. It's thoughtfully equipped with everything you'll need for your beach vacation, from blow dryers in each bathroom to plenty of kitchen supplies to make meal prep a pleasure to beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach wagon, a cooler, and beach toys.
But the thing that really stands out here is the non-stop view, which you can enjoy from just about every spot in the complex…even your two covered parking spaces under the building sport a panoramic view! And as soon as you walk in the front door of your unit, you can see right through to beautiful Sarasota Bay. Stop, put your luggage down, and walk onto the large deck, accessible through either the living room or the master bedroom. This is definitely the place you'll spend a lot of time watching for dolphins, manatees, and other marine and seabird life, enjoying the antics of boaters zipping from one spot to another on the Intracoastal waterway, or soaking in the serenity of each day's perfect sunrise. Although the inside of the unit features both dining and kitchen tables, it's likely you'll spend more mealtime right here on the balcony dining al fresco!
When you're able to pull yourself away from the deck and want to head to the beach, it's just a short three-minute walk or 300 steps until your feet touch the sand. You walk down a palm-lined walkway to the white sand and crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Set up your chair and umbrella, break out a cold drink, open a good book, and relax! Need a little exercise? Whether you're in the mood for just a short stroll at sunset or you're an Olympic-level walker, the entire 7 and a half miles of breathtaking white sand beaches can be reached right from your special spot!
Sometimes it's a dip in the pool that's exactly what you want; the sparkling and heated Bay Watch pool is nestled in an open courtyard right at the bottom of your stairs.
Anyone in your group who likes to fish (or enjoys sitting on the dock on the bay) will love the Bay Watch fishing pier that extends into the bay. You'll find complimentary fishing pole equipment in Bay Watch 3B, too!
Although your unit features a well-equipped kitchen, you'll want to explore some other dining options! There are several restaurants within walking distance, including Wicked Cantina, Gulf Drive Cafe and Tiki Bar, Beach House Restaurant, and more. And, with just another few minute's walk you arrive at Bridge Street, which is famous for its fishing pier, beach shops, boutiques, and restaurants.
It's easy to leave your car parked at the condo and hop on the free Anna Maria Island Trolley right at the end of your street. Bay Watch 3B is also services by the Old Town Tram (and Monkey Bus too!) Just call them, and they'll pick you up right at the condo! Take it north or south to explore the Island and experience its many yummy restaurants and cool shops. Running every half-hour from Coquina Beach at the very south end of the Island to the Historic Anna Maria City Pier at the north in the village of Anna Maria, the trolley is a fun way to travel the Island and runs 7 days a week from 6 in the morning until 10 at night.
This wonderful Bay Watch 3B unit sleeps 6 people in one king bed, two twins, and a sofa bed. Guests can enjoy the use of free high-speed wireless internet, landline phone with free long-distance calls in North America, and cable television with more than 100 channels.
PLEASE NOTE! This unit is a third-floor walk-up, which means two flights of stairs, which are outside and covered. Although the stairs are well-designed and easily managed, with a landing at the half-way point on each flight, there is no elevator at the complex. At the top, you'll be rewarded by a SPECTACULAR view and peacefulness with no one above you!
Additionally, the BayWatch condo complex does not allow smoking anywhere on the property, including the balconies and parking garage.

The location was nice and convenient. Quiet and quick walk to beach. I am a clean freak and found stove top was not cleaned (I used the stove top cleaner and cleaned myself, for easy cleaning Mr Clean Sponges are awesome). We didn’t use the stove but like a clean kitchen.

Our family had a great time and this rental was in a great location that offered a pleasant spot to relax. We enjoyed spending time on the balcony watching the wildlife and walking across the street to the beach. Love the area!

This is our 3rd time in Anna Maria and this place was our favorite so far. The condo was very well laid out with tons of cabinets and closets. We liked seeing the sunrise on the balcony each morning. It was a short walk to the beach. We walked to bridgestreet many days, and we also walked to bean point. The bedroom curtains were good at keeping the rooms dark at night. The condo building was very quiet and family oriented.

This property is in a fabulous location for all things fun and feels large inside and is really quiet tucked away by bay with Cortez beach across the street. The kitchen appeared functional although we did not use it much other than fridge for storing cold drinks as we ate out often. It was nice having a parking stall under the units. Our only hiccup was getting our entry code to get in but once we did get in it was nothing but fun. I would love to stay here again.

This was the first time on the bay side and absolutely loved the view especially the sunrise and the dolphins in the late afternoons.The condo was very clean and well stocked. Just a couple things though.It was a little difficult to find.I think maybe a sign for the complex on the main street for the driveway in.Also the deadbolt to get in needs a little adjustment because every time we entered or left we had to pull the door towards us to get the dead bolt to work properly.But we loved our stay and would really like to come back again. Thank you so much!!

This place has everything!!! Great location and great views!!! The beach is across the street, and in walking distance to so many places! Pool was great too! So many small things-blow dryer, straightener, extra outlet plugs, soap, coffee, extra blankets and pillows, beach stuff-cooler, bag, chairs umbrellas! We came all the way from Michigan so it def made it easier with all the extras! We would def stay here again! Thanks again!!!

Great condo
Had a great time at this condo. Nicely decorated there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and a sand wagon to take to the beach. The view from the balcony was an added treat and we were lucky enough to see a few dolphins. The walk from the condo to the beach is very close much closer than I thought. Our only problem was finding the condo. It is a little tricky because but we did find it. Just an FYI. Other than this it was fantastic.

Just as advertised!
Perfect get away! Condo was clean and just as pictured. Well stocked as advertised - including plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler and a nice beach wagon. Plenty of space for the family (2 adults and 2 teenagers). We took advantage of area restaurants for dinners so didn’t do excessive cooking but kitchen was well stocked. Building was small and quiet - with an awesome view off the balcony for watching dolphins. Short walk to the beach - did have to cross the street but was never a problem. Parking spots were just at the bottom of stairs and covered. Cute beach area without the huge high condo complexes. Trolley easy to use to get around the island to see additional beaches and restaurants. Highly recommend!

We have stayed in several different condos off VRBO over the years and this was our favorite by far. Quiet, clean, and furnished with everything you would want or need. Would definitely return to stay here again! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo! We all enjoyed our stay!

Great views and Walk to everything
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property that was so close to everything. Just across the street to the beach and a few blocks down to all the shops and restaurants at Bridge Street. We couldn't have asked for a better location. The unit was immaculate and fully stocked. Loved that they had all the beach equipment we needed (though due to red tide our beach days were limited). We used the pool everyday--it was quiet and not crazy with a ton of guests so that was a huge plus. Underground parking for two vehicles--perfect to keep you car out of the sun. And the living room and master bed room view of Sarasota Bay made for a stunning sunrise and an awesome evening view. So nice to sit out there and enjoy a beverage. We will definitely rent this place again. Kudos to the decorator...we're huge beach go-ers and love that beachy feel inside the condo.

Perfect Island Getaway
In short, my family and myself absolutely loved this property. The location is perfect, a block from the beach and walking distance to cool shops, not to mention the trolley stop at the property. Despite the listing stating beach items are subject to change, during our trip we had at least 2 of every beach item we could possibly need (umbrellas, towels, cooler, boogie boards, etc). The place is immaculate, beautifully decorated in beach vibes. We had the pool to ourselves for much of our August 2021 stay. The views of the bay coupled with the proximity to the beach simply cannot be beaten at this price point. Check in/out were a breeze. Super responsive management. Worth every penny!

Beautiful property
We had such a nice experience here. The property was spotless upon arrival. It is perfectly located. Close enough to walk to the beach and shops nearby. A pool (and some games!) for the kids. The balcony overlooking the bay offers a picturesque view and peace after a busy day. We would love to come back and stay again. Thank you for making our first trip to Anna Maria Island incredible!

Cute apartment on the bay!
We were pleased with the clean apartment with beautiful view of the bay from the balcony. It is an older building but the apartment was completely updated and the beds were comfortable. The ocean across the street from the entrance to the development was a private beach and we were told by the attendants there that it was for the hotel that is right in front of the apartment so that was disappointing. The house had plenty of beach towels and soap, new sponge and dish soap. There was only a tiny bit of laundry detergent that I used to wash the beach towels we used for one load. You might want to rent a bike or drive to the beach that you are allowed to use. Also, I would not rent a golf cart. We had one but they go on the regular street and hold up the cars behind you and you have to keep pulling over to be courteous. When the weather cools, bikes would be great on the island. Overall, the location is good as it's right near the bridge back to the mainland so it's convenient. The area has amazing restaurants where you can sit outside and social distance. I would recc. this apartment as it is very pretty and clean with a lovely view.

Hidden Gem on Anna Maria Island
Wonderful condo on AMI very quiet and tucked away on the bay. From reservations to check-in it was absolutely effortless since it was all done electronically. Condo has been updated and is well maintained. Location is wonderful overlooking the bay and about a 3 minute walk to the beach. Never needed to contact anyone because everything was above par.
We will be back to Baywatch Condos when ever our travels brings us back to
