Vacation from the cold!
Pros:

It's old school Florida charm, right on the beach, very clean and quiet. They have a sundry bar if you run out, outdoor grills and a tiki hut for gatherings.

Our Wildflower cottage was private for AMI and included high end small appliances and a full deck. Eric and his team couldn't have been more accommodating. We rented a golf cart to explore Anna Maria and they had it waiting for us.

We will come back and you should visit.

A great stay during spring break
Pros:

We just checked out and it was a great stay. We were in the Key Lime cottage which is directly across the street from the beach. It was big enough for more people (there were 4 of us). It was clean, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Every time we walked by a staff person they checked to see if we needed anything. The little shop, the library, the chairs and huts were an added bonus. We didn’t get the extra cabana, but I saw a couple set up and they looked worth the money. Definitely recommend!

Idyllic stay
Pros:

We have just returned after a delightful 5 night stay at the Cedar Cove Beach Resort on Anna Maria Island! The location is simply unbeatable—right on the beach with a beautifully spacious stretch of sand that feels peaceful, private, and truly idyllic. It’s the kind of place where you can completely switch off and soak in the views without ever feeling crowded.

The hosting was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was so well thought out, and you can tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. The rooms had everything we needed and more—clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing stay.

Whether it was enjoying the sunsets, lounging on the beach, or just unwinding in such a welcoming environment, every moment felt special. We have huge withdrawal symptoms looking at the 24/7 beach cam and we would absolutely come back again without hesitation and highly recommend Cedar Cove to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway!

What Hurricane?
Pros:

If you think this place is still recovering… think again. We just had a delightful and restful stay at Cedar cove resort this weekend. The cottage was spotless. The staff (Amy and Nick) were more than helpful and accommodating. The location right on the beach (complete with beach towels, chairs and umbrellas plus a bin of repurposed kids toys from past visitors) was super convenient. It was our first time there and we would definitely come back. Wish we could have stayed longer. Well done folks.

Low-key Caribbean Feel Right on the beach!
Pros:

Anna Maria island is back and looking great! This was our second stay at Cedar Cove (first since Hurricane Milton) and we enjoyed it more than ever. Gorgeous beach-front location, full -kitchen and laid-back, low-key vibes. Will return soon!

Old Florida style
Pros:

Took my Aunt & Uncle up for a 2 night stay in the Dolphin Cottage. Totally enjoyed the “cottage style” feel of the resort and the private beach area and the self service type style of the resort! Great sunsets and our first time to the Island. After the hurricane everything seemed well in place and it wasn’t that busy for this time of the year! Walked around town for a bit and had a nice happy hour daiquiri on the rooftop of the daiquiri deck. Thanks for a great relaxing time on the ocean and the island vibes! We did use the free trolley which was useful to see the island! Not a party resort. Very laid back and relaxing

Great stay on Anna Maria Island
Pros:

Our first time to Anna Maria Island and we had a wonderful stay at the Cedar Cove Resort and Cottages. We chose the Coconut suite, a second floor unit with a balcony facing the beach. The views were amazing, the kitchen and bathroom were clean and perfect for our needs, the bed was very comfortable, and the living room was inviting and relaxing. The staff were attentive to any need we had and the location was an easy drive to restaurants and Island activities. The resilience of the Island after the hurricanes of 2024 was evident in that most restaurants and places of interest were repaired, remodeled and open to the public. I would highly recommend the Cedar Cove Resort for anyone visiting the Gulf Coast and Anna Maria Island.

Hidden Gem on the Gulf
Pros:

This hidden gem with some rooms directly on the gulf is wonderful. We’ve stayed here several times. This time in the Sand Castle penthouse. It is updated, clean and the view was amazing. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They also offer golf cart rentals which makes getting around the island fun! We will be back!

Fantastic Experience at Cedar Cove!
Pros:

We spent our long weekend in the Mimosa Cottage at Cedar Cove, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Room was clean, staff was attentive and kind, and the resort is literally steps away from the beach. The island has plenty of beaches to choose from, but we found ourselves at the resort’s private beach the most. We loved how quiet it was, and it was the perfect place to watch the sunset. The room also comes with complimentary bikes, which was a great way to get around the island during the day. The resort is centrally located, with the Bridge Street restaurants and shops to the south, and another plaza to the north with plenty of restaurants and shops. Everything was a short trolley ride away, which made things very convenient. The resort staff also provided some great recommendations. Would highly recommend Cedar Cove and Anna Maria Island to anyone looking for an awesome island getaway!

No Central Air. Not 3-bedrooms. Chairs distant from beach.
Pros:

I paid $700 a night for the “3 bedroom” Sunset Suite in October. It is technically a 2-bedroom because you must walk-thru one bedroom to get to the den. No privacy. No A/C unit either.

in the pictures, the chairs and umbrellas look close to beach. They are not close; and cannot be moved or adjusted. If you want to set up close to the beach, you must rent a tent for $150.

Don’t judge this book by its cover 🤗
Pros:

On first impressions, it wasn’t great. BUT stick with it and the homey feel and old Florida vibes start kicking in. Low key ✔️, not pretentious ✔️, family oriented ✔️. Everything you desire can be done here ✔️. Old actually very old but remodeled fairly nicely. Appliances good. Shower head new. Excellent toaster. Comfortable couch even though it’s ugly. YES I would come back 😳🤣🤗
